Abstract



Effects of tipranavir/r (500/200 or 500/100 mg BID) in comparison with lopinavir/r (400/100 mg BID) on changes in body composition and metabolic parameters in ARV-naïve patients over 48 weeks

Objectives: Protease inhibitor (PI)-based antiretroviral therapy is associated with progressive lipoatrophy, relative central fat accumulation and insulin resistance.
Methods: We evaluated changes in body composition and metabolism in 140 ARV-naive patients randomised to tenofovir-lamivudine with tipranavir/ritonavir (500/200 [TPV/r200] or 500/100 mg [TPV/r100] BID) or lopinavir/ritonavir (400/100 mg [LPV/r] BID) in a metabolic sub-study. Body composition (DEXA for total and regional fat; L4-5 abdominal CT for subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue [SAT; VAT]) and metabolic parameters (including lipids, glucose, insulin, adiponectin, leptin) were assessed at baseline and Week 48. The primary analysis was the change in limb fat in TPV/r100 vs. LPV/r and TPV/r200 vs. LPV/r (Wilcoxon rank-sum test p=0.025 two-sided).
Results: Baseline limb fat was higher in both TPV/r groups versus LPV/r, although medians were comparable (Kruskal-Wallis test, p=0.907). At Week 48, limb fat increased more for LPV/r, but this was not significantly different from TPV/r groups (p>0.07). VAT and trunk fat decreased in all groups. Adiponectin, but not leptin, increased substantially, but significantly more with TPV/r100 and TPV/r200 (p<0.002). No glucose sensitivity changes were observed.

Conclusions: After 48 weeks, subcutaneous fat increased with both TPV/r and LPV/r. TPV/r treatment was not associated with increased insulin resistance or VAT, in contrast to previous studies with other PIs.
