- In vitro dose escalation resistance selections were performed with WT or tenofovir HIV-1 viruses.
- Two additional mutations were seen but found to have very limited or no role in resistance to TAF or TFV.
- No additional evolution of viral resistance was found under TAF and TFV selection.
Resistance selection experiments using HIV-1 isolates harboring pre-existing tenofovir (TFV)-resistance (K65R, 3TAMs, and Q151M complex) were carried out with the novel tenofovir prodrug tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) as well as with tenofovir (TFV), to investigate the potential for additional resistance development in the presence of TAF or TFV. Extended resistance selection of these TFV resistance associated mutations (RAMs)-containing viruses with TAF or TFV did not lead to the accumulation of additional known RAMs, or significant additional phenotypic resistance, after 6 months in culture. Two new mutations were found during the selections (L429I, T69I) that were further characterized, and found to have very limited or no role in resistance to TAF or TFV. Notably, viral survival in the presence of drug increases could not be sustained and led to viral cure in cell culture, suggesting a lack of alternative resistance pathways for the mutant viruses.
