Twenty-Five Years of Lamivudine: Current and Future Use for the Treatment of HIV-1 Infection

Innovation in medicine is a dynamic, complex, and continuous process that cannot be isolated to a single moment in time. Anniversaries offer opportunities to commemorate crucial discoveries of modern medicine, such as penicillin (1928), polio vaccination (inactivated, 1955; oral, 1961), the surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus (1967), monoclonal antibodies (1975), and the first HIV antiretroviral drugs (zidovudine, 1987). The advent of antiretroviral drugs has had a profound effect on the progress of the epidemiology of HIV infection, transforming a terminal, irreversible disease that caused a global health crisis into a treatable but chronic disease. This result has been driven by the success of antiretroviral drug combinations that include nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors such as lamivudine. Lamivudine, an L-enantiomeric analogue of cytosine, potently affects HIV replication by inhibiting viral reverse transcriptase enzymes at concentrations without toxicity against human polymerases. Although lamivudine was approved more than 2 decades ago, it remains a key component of first-line therapy for HIV because of its virological efficacy and ability to be partnered with other antiretroviral agents in traditional and novel combination therapies. The prominence of lamivudine in HIV therapy is highlighted by its incorporation in recent innovative treatment strategies, such as single-tablet regimens that address challenges associated with regimen complexity and treatment adherence and 2-drug regimens being developed to mitigate cumulative drug exposure and toxicities. This review summarizes how the pharmacologic and virologic properties of lamivudine have solidified its role in contemporary HIV therapy and continue to support its use in emerging therapies.This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives License 4.0 (CCBY-NC-ND) , where it is permissible to download and share the work provided it is properly cited.

Brief Report: Virologic Response by Baseline Viral Load With Dolutegravir Plus Lamivudine vs Dolutegravir Plus Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate/Emtricitabine: Pooled Analysis

BACKGROUND: To investigate antiviral potency of the 2-drug regimen (2DR) dolutegravir plus lamivudine vs the 3-drug regimen (3DR) dolutegravir plus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine, we performed a post-hoc analysis assessing antiviral response rates in the phase III GEMINI-1 and GEMINI-2 studies by baseline viral load (VL). SETTING: One hundred ninety-two centers in 21 countries. METHODS: Treatment-naive HIV-1-infected participants with screening VL ≤500,000 copies/mL were randomized 1:1 to once-daily dolutegravir plus lamivudine or dolutegravir plus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine. Median change from baseline was determined for log10-transformed VL in the overall study population and the subpopulation with baseline VL >100,000 copies/mL. Proportion of participants achieving plasma VL 100,000 copies/mL, median change from baseline at week 4 was -3.38 and -3.40 log10 copies/mL in the 2DR and 3DR groups, respectively; reduction was sustained throughout 48 weeks. Time to VL 100,000 copies/mL than the overall study population (57 [week 8] vs 29 days [week 4]) and similar between the 2DR and 3DR groups. Proportion of participants with VL <50 or <40 copies/mL and target not detected was similar between groups, irrespective of baseline VL, at all tested visits throughout 48 weeks. CONCLUSION: Dolutegravir plus lamivudine demonstrates high antiviral potency in treatment-naive HIV-1-infected individuals across baseline VL strata
