Abstract Body:
PRO 140 is a novel humanized form of a mouse immunoglobulin G4 CCR5-directed monoclonal antibody with nanomolar potency in inhibiting HIV-1 cell entry through the CCR5 coreceptor. The aim of this study was to analyze HIV-1 tropism and in vitro susceptibility to PRO 140 according to MVC exposure in a cohort of heavily treatment-experienced (HTE) HIV-1-infected patients (pts) harboring a documented 4-class drug-resistance to NRTIs, NNRTIs, PIs, InSTIs, enrolled in the Italian PRESTIGIO Registry.
Plasma RNA (viremic pts) or PBMC DNA (non-viremic pts) was used for Sanger sequencing and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS, Illumina platform) of the gp120-V3 region followed by geno2pheno [coreceptor] interpretation. Viral tropism and susceptibility to PRO 140 were assessed through a home-made phenotypic assay based on pseudotyped viruses expressing patient derived Env protein and luciferase as reporter gene. Pts demographics and laboratory data are described as median (Q1-Q3), mean (±SD) or frequency (%).
Among 25 pts, 20 (80%) were male, median age 50 years (44-53), time since HIV-1 diagnosis 23 years (19-26), time on ART 20 years (16-23), 14 (56%) with a previous AIDS diagnosis, 17 (68%) with maraviroc (MVC) exposure, a median CD4+ count 207 cells/l (73-326) and a median viral load 4.58 log10 copies/mL (4.02-5.11), with 2 pts with HIV-RNA
In this group of HTE pts with MDR virus, all CCR5-tropic strains were fully susceptible to PRO 140 and they were not significantly impacted by MVC exposure. PRO 140 can thus play a key role in subjects with very limited therapeutic options and CCR5-tropic virus.
