Background: In the ADVANCE trial, more participants developed obesity on TAF/FTC+DTG vs TDF/FTC+DTG and TDF/FTC/EFV. Overweight and obesity are associated with elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to quantify these risks using standard risk algorithms. New analysis of the FDA FAERS database showed more reports of myocardial infarction (MI)/T2D for people on integrase inhibitors. Plasma EFV concentrations have been associated with raised glucose concentrations in HIV-infected South Africans.
 
Methods: In ADVANCE, 1053 treatment-naìˆve participants (99% black, 56% female, 62% South African) were randomised to 192 weeks of TAF/FTC+DTG, TDF/FTC+DTG or TDF/FTC/EFV. Body weight change was evaluated to week 144. Low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol, fasting glucose and systolic blood pressure were measured at baseline, week 96 and week 144. These variables were used to calculate the 10-year risk of CVD (MI/ stroke) and T2D based on weight change to week 144 using the QRISK, Framingham (BMI-based) and QDiabetes risk algorithms. QRISK and QDiabetes were adjusted for black African race. Participants ≥30 years with laboratory data for parameters in the risk equations were included. Differences between groups were tested using non-parametric methods.
 
Results: 397, 386 and 374 participants were included in Framingham, QRISK and QDiabetes respectively. Vital signs and laboratory parameters were similar at baseline between arms. Mean weight gain to week 144 was +9.5kg (TAF/FTC+DTG), +6.1kg (TDF/FTC+DTG), +3.6kg (TDF/FTC/EFV). At week 144, participants on TAF/FTC+DTG had greater predicted 10-year risk of developing CVD compared to TDF/FTC/EFV (p=0.016), and of T2D compared to TDF/FTC+DTG (p=0.024)(Table 1). CVD risk was greater for men, T2D risk was greater for women. From QRISK, CVD risk was 0.02% greater for women on TAF/FTC+DTG vs TDF/FTC/EFV. For men, this risk increase was 0.2%, equivalent to 2 additional MI/stroke cases/ 1000 men. Predicted T2D risk was greater for women on TAF/ FTC+DTG vs TDF/FTC+DTG by 0.9%, equivalent to 9 additional T2D cases/ 1000 women. For men, this increase was 0.75% or 7.5 additional T2D cases/ 1000 men.
 
Conclusion: Treatment-emergent weight gain, particularly on TAF/FTC+DTG, increased participants' predicted 10-year risk of developing CVD and T2D. These results support WHO recommendations for TDF/FTC+DTG as 1st-line therapy, with TAF/FTC+DTG only used for patients with osteoporosis or renal impairment.
