Major Research Findings
Fostemsavir is a novel antiretroviral drug that belongs to a new class of drugs called attachment inhibitors. These drugs block the entry of HIV into CD4+ T-lymphocytes by preventing conformational changes in gp120, a protein on the surface of the virus that is necessary for attachment to host cells 8 . This new drug class is especially important for patients who have been treated with multiple antiretroviral therapies but have not found a regimen that works for them, which is a growing problem worldwide 8 9 .
Fostemsavir is the first attachment inhibitor approved by the Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency for the treatment of HIV-1 infection 11 . Fostemsavir has shown promise as part of a drug combination therapy in highly treatment-experienced HIV-1 infected patients 20 . In a phase 3 study called BRIGHTE, fostemsavir was shown to be more effective than a placebo at suppressing viral replication in patients with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 2 . After 96 weeks, fostemsavir was found to be generally well-tolerated and led to sustained virologic and immunologic responses in patients. In fact, fostemsavir-based treatment regimens have shown comparable or superior efficacy and safety to other antiretroviral therapies in heavily treatment-experienced patients with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 4 .
Benefits and Risks
Benefit Summary
Fostemsavir offers a new treatment option for patients with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 21 . Fostemsavir is effective and safe for patients who have not found a successful antiretroviral regimen 4 .
Risk Summary
Fostemsavir is generally well tolerated 22 14 . However, fostemsavir’s blood concentration increases when administered concurrently with CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ritonavir and atazanavir 22 . Therefore, dose adjustments may be required when fostemsavir is administered with ritonavir or atazanavir 22 . The potential for QTc prolongation with fostemsavir has also been studied 1 . While fostemsavir 1200 mg b.i.d. did not result in a clinically meaningful QTc prolongation, a supratherapeutic dose of 2400 mg b.i.d. did show a clinically significant prolongation 1 . Further research into the effects of fostemsavir on the QTc interval is necessary 1 .
Comparison between Studies
Similarities
Fostemsavir is a new class of antiretroviral drug that shows efficacy and safety in heavily treatment-experienced patients with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 21 2 4 .
Differences
Some studies have evaluated the effects of fostemsavir monotherapy 23 . Others have evaluated fostemsavir in combination with other antiretroviral drugs 2 4 .
Consistency and Discrepancies
Fostemsavir is a new class of antiretroviral drug that shows efficacy and safety in heavily treatment-experienced patients with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 21 2 4 . However, the effectiveness of fostemsavir monotherapy can vary between studies 23 . Further research is needed on fostemsavir combination therapies 4 .
Considerations for Real-World Application
Fostemsavir may offer a new treatment option for patients with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 21 . However, when fostemsavir is administered with CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ritonavir and atazanavir, dose adjustments may be required 22 . Healthcare providers must carefully consider drug interactions and side effects before prescribing fostemsavir, taking into account individual patient circumstances 21 .
Limitations of Current Research
Research on fostemsavir is still limited 21 4 . Further research is needed on the long-term effects and safety of fostemsavir 21 4 .
Future Research Directions
Research is needed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of fostemsavir, as well as the efficacy of fostemsavir in combination with other antiretroviral drugs 21 4 .
Conclusion
Fostemsavir may offer a new treatment option for patients with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 21 2 4 . Fostemsavir is effective and safe for patients who have not found a successful antiretroviral regimen 4 . However, research on fostemsavir is still limited 21 4 . Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effects and safety of fostemsavir 21 4 .
