Description
Summary: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.
