Background and study aims
As HIV multiplies in the body, the virus sometimes changes form (mutates). Some HIV mutations that develop while a person is taking HIV medicines can lead to drug-resistant strains of HIV. Once drug resistance develops, HIV medicines that previously controlled a person’s HIV are no longer effective. In other words, the HIV medicines can't prevent the drug-resistant HIV from multiplying. Drug resistance can cause HIV treatment to fail. The aim of this study is to find out whether a new integrase inhibitor-based drug regimen is as effective as a regimen containing a protease inhibitor in controlling the multiplication of HIV virus which harbours resistance.

Who can participate?
Patients aged 18 and over who are HIV-positive and on effective antiretroviral treatment containing a protease inhibitor. Patients must have evidence that the virus is resistant to antiretroviral therapy.

What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly allocated to either continue on their current protease inhibitor-based regimen or switch to an integrase inhibitor-based regimen (tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine/bictegravir (Biktarvy) single tablet regimen). Participants continue on their allocated treatment for 24 weeks. At this point, if there is no difference in the response to both the regimens, all those who had remained on their protease-inhibitor based regimen are then switched to the new treatment and all participants are followed up for a further 24 weeks. No one in this study takes dummy tablets. All participants are on active treatment throughout the study. There are a total of eight scheduled study visits during the 48 weeks of the study, with a 30-day post-study treatment follow up call or standard of care visit.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The possible benefits include reduced cardiovascular risk (reduced risk of heart attacks and strokes) with continued suppression of the amount of virus in the blood, lower likelihood of interactions with other medications, and reduced number of tablets taken for HIV. Information gained from this study could lead to change in how doctors use the medication. Blood tests may cause discomfort and may leave a temporary bruise. Every effort will be made to minimise this. Because the study involves additional visits to the clinic, the researchers can reimburse reasonable travel expenses for those extra visits. When switching from one antiviral regimen to another, there is a small risk that the virus will not be controlled with the new regimen, hence the virus could develop resistance to the medications. Furthermore, the new regimen could cause new side effects. Viral load and side effects will be frequently and carefully monitored during this study to minimise these risks

Scientific titleA Phase IV, randomised, open-label pilot study to evaluate switching from protease-inhibitor based regimen to bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide single tablet regimen in virologically suppressed HIV-1 infected adults harbouring drug resistance mutations
Study acronymPIBIK
Study objectivesCurrent study hypothesis as of 23/07/2021:
This is a phase IV, multicentre, open-label, randomised two-arm pilot study to assess the safety and efficacy of switching from boosted protease inhibitor regimen to B/F/TAF single-tablet regimen in virologically suppressed HIV-1infected adults harbouring drug resistance mutations.


Previous study hypothesis:
This is a phase IV, multicentre, open-label, randomised two-arm pilot study to assess the safety and efficacy of switching from boosted protease inhibitor regimen to B/F/TAF single-tablet regimen in integrase Inhibitor-naïve, virologically suppressed HIV-1infected adults harbouring drug resistance mutations.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 28/06/2019, London – Brighton & Sussex Research Ethics Committee (Health Research Authority, Ground Floor, Skipton House, 80 London Road, London SE1 6LH; Tel: +44 (0)20 797 22567; Email: NRESCommittee.SECoast-BrightonandSussex@nhs.net), ref: 19/LO/0905
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHuman immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease
InterventionHIV-positive individuals who meet the eligibility criteria for the trial will be identified by their doctor and informed about the study. They will be referred to the doctor in charge of the research in each site where they will be given more information about the study and be given the opportunity to study the patient information leaflet and ask questions. Only after that will patients be consented and recruited into the study.

HIV-positive individuals will be randomised to either continue on their current protease inhibitor-based regimen or switch to an integrase inhibitor-based regimen (tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine/bictegravir (Biktarvy) single-tablet regimen). Participants will know which arm they fall into after the randomisation and which treatment they are taking. Participants will continue on their allocated treatment for 24 weeks. At this point, if there is no difference in the response to both the regimens, all those who had remained on their protease-inhibitor based regimen will then be switched to the new treatment and all participants will be followed up for a further 24 weeks. The study will continue until each person enrolled in the study has been followed up for 48 weeks from the time they joined the study. This will occur at different times for those involved depending on when they joined the study. No one in this trial will be on dummy tablets. All participants will be on active treatment throughout the study. There will be a total of eight scheduled study visits during the 48 weeks duration of the trial.

Updated 15/01/2020:

Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Tenofovir alafenamide, emtricitabine, bictegravir
Primary outcome measureProportions of individuals with HIV RNA <50 copies/mL at 24 weeks will be estimated using pure virologic response (PVR). The percentage of participants with PVR for HIV-1 RNA cut-off at 50 copies/mL at Week 24 will be summarized. PVR will be assessed as follows:
1. On study treatment
2. No confirmed virologic rebound defined as:
2.1. HIV RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL on 2 consecutive visits
2.2. HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL during study followed by premature discontinuation
Discontinuation prior to week 24 for reasons other than virologic rebound (i.e. no data in window and last HIV RNA < 50 copies/mL) are considered PVR
Timepoint(s): End of the study
Secondary outcome measures1. Proportion of patients with HIV RNA <50 copies/mL at week 48 using PVR
2. Proportion of patients with HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL at weeks 24 and 48 using PVR in those with any archived resistance detected in proviral DNA
3. Emergence of new resistance mutations measured by population sequencing in participants with two consecutive viral load >50 copies/mL 2-3 weeks apart
4. Safety and tolerability of B/F/TAF FDC in participants switching from bPI-based regimens measured using laboratory parameters and clinical assessments at 48 weeks
5. Patient-reported outcomes: sleep quality measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and bothersome symptoms measured using the HIV symptom distress scale at baseline, weeks 24 and 48
6. Serum lipid concentrations measured using blood samples at baseline, weeks 24 and 48
7. HBA1c measured using blood samples at baseline, weeks 24 and 48
8. Weight and BMI measured using weighing scale for weight and measuring tape for height at baseline, weeks 24 and 48
