State of the evidence from oral and
topical PrEP efficacy trials
What we know and what we still need to know.

Rationale or PrEP for HIV Prevention
• Prophylaxis to reduce the risk of an infectious
disease is well established
– E.g.: Malaria for travelers
• Evidence for HIV prevention based on
– Prevention of mother to child transmission
– Non-human primate studies
• Protection after mucosal challenge
The Right Drug? Tenofovir for PrEP
• Potent
– Potent antiretroviral activity, rapidly active
• Safe and well-tolerated:
– Substantial treatment safety experience
• Easy to use:
– Once-daily dosing, few drug interactions
HYPOTHESIS
Oral TDF, oral FTC/TDF, or vaginal tenofovir gel prior to
HIV exposure, as PrEP, will reduce risk of HIV infection
Oral HIV PrEP Efficacy Trials

Infections Numbers: 64 – 36 = 28 averted
n = 2,499 men who have sex with men and transgender women;

Lesson 4
We don´t know much about rectal

PK Predicts that Topical TFV May Have
Greater Efficacy than Oral TDF in Women
Vaginal tenofovir gel achieves ≥130 greater vaginal tissue concentrations
than oral tenofovir (daily dosing)

Patterson KB, Prince HA, Kraft E, et al. Sci Transl Med 2011; 3(112):112re4.
Lesson 5
Intensive PK studies were informative
in developing products & interpreting
trial results
Missed Doses Diminish PrEP Efficacy
• Due to lack of adherence and missed visits, PrEP
trial results likely underestimate true efficacy
• Important if missed doses and missed visits are
not at random
– Those who have challenges with monthly visits may
have characteristics that place them at higher HIV risk
– Patterns of adherence may matter if missed doses
occur during periods of higher risk behavior
Adherence Measurements
• Self-report and pill counts clearly
overestimate adherence
• Drug levels in case-cohort analyses are
informative in interpreting efficacy
• Electronic monitoring to capture patterns of
adherence
• Qualitative research to understand risk
perceptions, product acceptability, use
patterns

Potential ‘Drivers’ of Adherence
• Risk perception may differ in populations
• HIV negative partners in serodiscordant couples
know their risk
• Risk perception in people with partners of
unknown HIV serostatus?
• Adherence may reflect risk perception and
patterns of sexual behavior
• What other factors influence use of product?
Lesson 6
Adherence is the ‘Achilles’ heel:
How to measure? How to motivate?
Summary:
We have learned a lot, and have much to learn
about oral and mucosal tenofovir-based PrEP

Tenofovir-based PrEP works
Oral tenofovir-based PrEP works when taken
Vaginal tenofovir-based PrEP works when used
We don´t know much about rectal tenofovir-based
PrEP.
5. Intensive PK studies were informative in developing
products and interpreting trial results
6. Adherence is the ‘Achilles’ heel for PrEP
• How to measure? How to motivate?
• All biomedical interventions are behavioral
Yet, Much Left to Learn…
• Biology
– Do inflammation, acute infection, & others interfere with PrEP?
– What is the minimum blood/tissue concentration for PrEP
efficacy?
– Safety of oral & topical products in pregnancy and adolescents
– Safety & efficacy of iso-osmolar tenofovir gel in MSM
– PK, adherence & risk behavior with intermittent oral FTC/TDF
dosing
• Behavior
– More detail on adherence and adherence over time in PrEP
trials
– Patterns of adherence and relationship to behavior
– Understanding risk perception in different populations
– Adherence, risk perception, and PrEP use in ‘real world settings’

How to Move Forward?
Demonstration Projects, Regulatory Approval,
Normative Guidance and Government Support
• Demonstration Projects
• Normative guidance (e.g., WHO, US CDC)
• Government approvals and support
Whether to Move Forward with PrEP
Efficacy Estimates from 0-75%?
• Remember: efficacy is ≈90% if product is used
• Primary prevention remains essential
• Whether to move forward should not be a
debate
– When we have 2-9% incidence in trial populations
– Nothing else for primary prevention with this high
efficacy
• Priority is to learn about strategic use of
tenofovir-based PrEP
Tenofovir is a First-Generation PrEP Agent:
We Must Move Forward Smartly
Pill
Gel
Vaginal film
Vaginal ring
Injectable
Landmark health research is a process of continued development
We need a choice of strategies to meet different needs
Adherence remains important with less user-dependent strategies (i.e.,
vaginal rings & injectable PrEP)
Strategies to Improve PrEP Delivery and Adherence
Novel adherence
strategies
New PrEP drugs and
dosing strategies
