Abstract Body
 
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is an important agent for antiretroviral treatment (ART) and prevention of HIV in breastfeeding women, but information about the impact of postpartum use on infant bone and renal safety is limited. The P1084s substudy assessed these outcomes in a subset of mother-infant (MI) pairs randomized to either maternal TDF-based ART [TDF/FTC+LPV/r] (mART) or infant nevirapine prophylaxis [no maternal ART] (iNVP) during breastfeeding as part of the IMPAACT PROMISE study.
 
Healthy MI pairs with normal maternal renal function and no antenatal exposure to maternal TDF who were randomized in PROMISE 1:1 to mART or iNVP at 6-14 days postpartum were eligible for the substudy. MI pairs were enrolled in P1084s on randomization day and followed through Week 74. Infant lumbar spine bone mineral content (LS-BMC) was assessed at entry and Week 26 by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, read centrally by blinded investigators. Infant creatinine clearance (CrCl) was calculated using the revised Schwartz equation at entry and Weeks 10, 26, and 74. Student t-tests compared mean LS-BMC and CrCl at Week 26 and mean change from entry between arms. All differences are presented as mART – iNVP.
 
400 MI pairs were enrolled; 2 MI pairs in the mART arm were excluded because the mothers did not initiate TDF-ART. At entry, mean (standard deviation (sd)) infant LS-BMC was 1.68g (0.35) and CrCl was 64.2mL/min per 1.73 m2 (24.6). At Week 26, 98% of MI pairs were breastfeeding and 96% were on their assigned antiretroviral strategy. Mean (sd) Week 26 LS-BMC was 2.64g (0.48) for mART and 2.77g (0.44) for iNVP; mean difference (95% confidence interval (CI)) -0.13g (-0.22, -0.04), P=0.007, n = 375/398 (94%) (Figure). Mean absolute (-0.14g (-0.23, -0.06)) and percent change (-10.88% (-18.53, -3.23)) in LS-BMC from entry was smaller for mART than iNVP. Similar results were observed in post hoc analyses of bone mineral density. At Week 26, mean (sd) CrCl was 130.0mL/min per 1.73 m2 (34.9) for mART vs. 126.1mL/min per 1.73 m2 (30.0) for iNVP; mean difference (95% CI) 3.8 (-3.0, 10.7), P = 0.27, n = 349/398 (88%). On average, CrCl increased from entry across all visits in both arms.
 
Although the mean LS-BMC at Week 26 was lower in breastfeeding infants with mART compared with iNVP, the difference was less than a half sd (∼0.23g), thus clinical relevance is unlikely. No infant renal safety concerns were observed.
