Clinical Scorecard: Immune Recovery After Transitioning from EFV-Based Antiretroviral Therapy to Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide in Virologically Suppressed Immunological Non-Responders: A 144-Week Cohort Study in China

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
Condition
Key Mechanisms
Target PopulationVirologically suppressed INRs receiving long-term ART (≥4 years) with CD4 counts <350 cells/μL.
Care Setting

Key Highlights

  • Add specific numerical values for immune reconstitution rates at weeks 48 and 144.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

    Management

      Monitoring & Follow-up

      • Assess CD4 cell counts and immune reconstitution rates at regular intervals (e.g., every 3 months) post-switch.

      Risks

        Patient & Prescribing Data

        Switching to BIC/FTC/TAF may enhance immune recovery in selected INR populations based on age and duration of ART.

        Clinical Best Practices

        • Consider ART regimen optimization for INRs based on individual patient factors such as age, comorbidities, and previous ART history.
