Objective: Tesamorelin is the only FDA-approved therapy to treat abdominal fat accumulation in people with HIV (PWH). Phase III clinical trials were conducted prior to the introduction of integrase inhibitors (INSTIs), which are now a mainstay of HIV antiretroviral therapy.

Design: We leveraged a randomized double-blind trial of 61 PWH and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tesamorelin 2 mg once daily vs.

Introduction: This study investigated the interactions between a low protein high calorie (LPHC) diet and an integrase inhibitor-containing antiretroviral drug regimen (INI-CR)in light of evidence suggesting that the initiation of cART in patients with poor nutritional status is a predictor of mortality independent of immune status.

Methods: Freshly weaned Sprague Dawley rats (120) were randomized into the standard, LPHC and normal protein high calorie (NPHC) diet groups (n = 40/group) initially for 15 weeks. Thereafter, experimental animals in each diet group were further randomized into four treatment sub-groups (n = 10/group) Control (normal saline), group 1(TDF+3TC+DTG and Tesamorelin), group 2 (TDF+3TC+DTG), and Positive control (AZT+3TC+ATV/r) with treatment and diets combined for 9 weeks.

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by a high prevalence of hepatic fibrosis as a strong clinical predictor of all-cause and liver-specific mortality risk.

Methods: We leveraged data from an earlier clinical trial to define the circulating proteomic signature of hepatic fibrosis in HIV-associated NAFLD. A total of 183 plasma proteins within 2 high-multiplex panels were quantified at baseline and at 12 months (Olink Cardiovascular III; Immuno-Oncology).

Causes and outcomes of hepatic fibrosis in persons living with HIV.

Purpose Of Review: The epidemiology of liver disease in people living with HIV has evolved since the arrival of effective hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in HIV patients is highly prevalent while hepatitis D, hepatitis E, and occult hepatitis B remain underappreciated. We discuss mechanisms of fibrosis in HIV and review clinical outcomes of HIV-associated liver diseases.

Article Synopsis
  • * The only approved treatment as of now is Saroglitazar in India, yet several candidates like Obeticholic acid and Semaglutide are in advanced clinical trials, indicating potential future options.
  • * Given NASH's complex nature, effective treatment may require a combination of therapies targeting different disease stages rather than a single drug solution.
