{"doi":"10.1089/aid.2022.0185","title":"Obesity Modifies the Relationship Between Raltegravir and Dolutegravir Hair Concentrations and Body Weight Gain in Women Living with HIV","abstract":"Integrase strand-transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are associated with weight gain in women living with HIV (WLH). Relationships between drug exposure, baseline obesity, and INSTI-associated weight gain remain unclear. Data from 2006 to 2016 were analyzed from virally suppressed WLH enrolled in the Women's Interagency HIV Study, who switched/added an INSTI to antiretroviral therapy: [raltegravir (RAL), dolutegravir (DTG), or elvitegravir (EVG)]. Percent body weight change was calculated from weights obtained a median 6 months pre-INSTI and 14 months post-INSTI initiation. Hair concentrations were measured with validated liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS assays. Baseline (preswitch) weight status evaluated obese (body mass index, BMI, ≥30 kg/m 2 ) versus nonobese (BMI <30 kg/m 2 ). Mixed models examined the drug hair concentration*baseline obesity status interaction for each INSTI. There were 169 WLH included: 53 (31%) switched to RAL, 72 (43%) to DTG, and 44 (26%) to EVG. Women were median age 47–52 years, predominantly Non-Hispanic Black, median CD4 counts >500 cells/mm 3 , >75% with undetectable HIV-1 RNA. Over ∼1 year, women experienced median increases in body weight: 1.71% (−1.78, 5.00) with RAL; 2.40% (−2.82, 6.50) with EVG; and 2.48% (−3.60, 7.88) with DTG. Baseline obesity status modified the relationship between hair concentrations and percent weight change for DTG and RAL ( p' s < 0.05): higher DTG, yet lower RAL concentrations were associated with greater weight gain among nonobese women. Additional pharmacologic assessments are needed to understand the role of drug exposure in INSTI-associated weight gain.","journal":"AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses","year":2023,"id":378589,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":2,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9481,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2023-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":303362,"name":"C Christina Mehta","orcid":null,"position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":375127,"name":"Craig Sykes","orcid":null,"position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":243099,"name":"Sheri D.
