Background: Tests for resistance to HIV drugs are available for clinical use; however, their predictive value has not been fully assessed.

Objectives: To determine HIV-1 genotypic predictors of a virologic response to saquinavir–ritonavir therapy in patients in whom at least one previous protease inhibitor-containing regimen had failed and to compare the predictive value of baseline genotype with that of standard clinical evaluation.

Design: Retrospective clinical cohort study.

Setting: University-based HIV clinic.

Patients: 54 HIV-1-infected adults treated with saquinavir–ritonavir who had experienced virologic failure while receiving a protease inhibitor-containing regimen for at least 3 months.

Measurements: HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and protease gene sequences, CD4 cell counts, clinical characteristics, detailed antiretroviral treatment history, and plasma HIV-1 RNA levels at baseline and at three follow-up time points (median, 4, 12, and 26 weeks). Virologic failure was defined as a plasma HIV RNA level greater than 1000 copies/mL.

Results: In 22 patients (41%), a plasma HIV-1 RNA level less than 500 copies/mL was achieved by week 12; in 15 patients (28%), this response was maintained through week 26. Clinical characteristics predicting a poorer response included a diagnosis of AIDS, lower CD4 cell count, and higher plasma HIV RNA level (P < 0.03). Number of previous nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, previous protease inhibitor therapy, and duration of previous protease inhibitor therapy were predictors of poorer response (P < 0.01). Multivariate regression models revealed that protease mutations present at the initiation of saquinavir–ritonavir therapy were the strongest predictors of virologic response. A model of clinical features explained up to 45% of the variation in virologic outcomes by week 12, whereas the explained variance was 71% when genotypic predictors were included.

Conclusions: In patients in whom protease inhibitor-containing antiretroviral therapy fails, HIV-1 genotype is predictive of virologic response to subsequent therapy. This predictive capacity adds to that of standard clinical evaluation.
