Lenacapavir with Fostemsavir in a Multidrug-Resistant HIV-Infected Hemodialysis Patient

Case Rep Infect Dis. 2023 Oct 18:2023:8865265. doi: 10.1155/2023/8865265. eCollection 2023.

Abstract

We report a hemodialysis MDR HIV-infected patient switched to fostemsavir with lenacapavir plus lamivudine for more than a year. She maintained a suppressed viral replication and did not present any clinical or biological drug-related side effects. The combination of lenacapavir plus fostemsavir looks promising in terms of safety and efficacy even in patients with end-stage renal disease awaiting renal transplant. Both drugs are first in class ARVs so that there is no cross resistance with previous drugs, maintaining their efficacy against MDR HIV.
