We prospectively evaluated 28 triple-class experienced HIV-1-infected patients harbouring R5 virus, who received maraviroc, raltegravir and etravirine. By on-treatment analysis, 26 (92%) had less than 50 copies HIV-RNA/ml at week 48. The median (interquartile range) 48-week increase in CD4 cell counts was 267 (136-355) cells/microl. Three serious adverse events occurred: one recurrence of mycobacterial spondylodiscitis, one anal cancer, one Hodgkin lymphoma. Although long-term safety needs further study, this protease inhibitor and nucleoside analogue-sparing regimen showed sustained efficacy.
