978. Changes in BMI Associated with Antiretroviral Regimens in Treatment-Experienced, Virologically Suppressed Individuals Living with HIV

Background A potential association between integrase inhibitor (INSTI) use and weight gain has been reported in people living with HIV (PLWH). We examined body mass index (BMI) increases after a switch to dolutegravir (DTG), elvitegravir/cobicistat (EVG/c), raltegravir (RAL), rilpivirine (RPV), or boosted darunavir (bDRV) among virologically suppressed ART-experienced PLWH. Methods ART-experienced, suppressed (ART-ES; baseline viral load < 200 copies/mL) PLWH ≥ 18 years of age initiating DTG, EVG/c, RAL, RPV, or bDRV for the first time were identified in the OPERA® cohort. The association between core agents and mean increases in BMI at 6, 12, and 24 months was estimated with multivariable linear regression. Inverse probability-of-censoring weights (IPCW) were used to account for censoring (regimen discontinuation, loss to follow-up, death, pregnancy, or no BMI measured). Analyses were stratified by baseline BMI categories (underweight: <18.5, normal weight: ≥18.5 to <25, overweight: ≥25 to <30, obese: ≥30). Results At baseline, endocrine disorders were reported in >40% of PLWH receiving DTG and RAL; >60% were overweight/obese in all groups (Figure 1). Mean BMI (unadjusted) increased for all ARVs over time, with changes at 24 months ranging from 0.30 (DRV) to 0.83 (RPV, Figure 2). At 6 months, the adjusted mean BMI increase was statistically smaller with EVG/c, RAL, and bDRV (range –0.15 to –0.30) than with DTG (Figure 3); these differences only remained significantly different for bDRV at 12 (–0.29) and 24 months (–0.29, Figure 3). Among those with a normal baseline BMI, the adjusted mean change in BMI at 12 months was smaller with EVG/c, bDRV, and RAL than DTG (range –0.26 to –0.27). Among overweight PLWH, the adjusted mean BMI increase was statistically smaller with bDRV than DTG (–0.32, Figure 4). Results were consistent in IPCW estimates. Conclusion The majority of PLWH on stable ART in this US-based cohort were overweight/obese at the time of switch to the regimens of interest. Small mean increases in BMI for all regimens were noted over time, for which the clinical significance is not yet known. Apparent differences in BMI changes favoring EVG/c, RAL, and bDRV vs. DTG over the short term were largely attenuated with longer follow-up, with significant differences mainly observed in those with a normal BMI at baseline.
