    Satellite Symposium

    Reflecting on treatment strategies to achieve long-term treatment success in HIV

    To explore how current treatment strategies, an evolving ART landscape and renewed focus on evolving patient needs will drive changes in treatment goals and expectations among PLWH. The meeting will open with a short plenary presentation reviewing how current treatment strategies are able to meet goals and patient needs in the management of both treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced PLWH, with focus on late-presenters, rapid ART initiation and switching strategies for optimizing ART to achieve treatment success. This will be followed by an eye to the future with the innovative HIV pipeline. Finally, a panel-led discussion will facilitate the discussion around the benefits and potential drawbacks of individualized approaches to reach long-term treatment success.

    Focus on molecular surveillance of epidemic/pandemic viral infections

    Genetic characterisation of viral genomes responsible for epidemic/pandemic episodes has been proven to be a powerful tool to understand outbreak transmission dynamics, spill-over events and to screen the mutations that potentially have an impact on transmissibility, pathogenicity and diagnostics. Sequence data can afford to monitor viral evolution and to timely identify potential markers of increased transmissibility, severity of disease or altered antigenicity. In addition, as the epidemic/pandemic evolves, these data become increasingly important in order to verify the match of the circulating variants with the response to vaccines and the possible emergence of antiviral resistance. By combining information of virus characteristics with clinical and epidemiological data, it is possible to plain public health interventions and to make outbreak control decisions.

    Pre-Conference advanced course

    New opportunities in HIV and prevention: towards achieving controlled risk

    The first form of treatment for HIV is prevention. The concept of prevention includes the broader concept of an individual's sexual health. Science is making advances toward the goal of preventing HIV and therefore most sexually transmitted infections. The rationale for this course is to investigate the concept of sexual health particularly in " neglected" populations with limited access to health care systems, such as the migrant population. Secondly, scientific advances in HIV prevention will be analyzed with a focus on new strategies for pre-exposure prophylaxis and ongoing trials for an HIV vaccine. Vaccine trials have posed a new key concept, represented by the management of the in-trial patient, the sexually transmitted diseases that occur during the trial and the management of VISP (vaccine-induced seropositivity). Another extremely important way of prevention is the HIV-patient on treatment, and it is crucial in this setting to hear the voice of HIV-positive patients on treatment and with undetectable viral load.

    Long-acting therapies in HIV and bacterial infections: the nurse role

    The introducing of long-acting therapy in the clinical practice of Infectious Disease Units will bring positive implications in the management of chronic patients with HIV and bacterial infections. It will be required to reshape the organization of the clinics and consequently a new nursing care model have to be redefined. After forty years of fighting against HIV, the principal aim is the development of antiretroviral therapies capable to reduce the disease progression and slow down clinical manifestations. The use of long-acting therapy can leading to an improvement in therapeutic adherence. This is fundamental in daily clinical practice, especially for the nursing figure who is personally involved not only in the administration of the drug but also in patient's information and education. Moreover, the use of long-acting therapy in bacterial infections, patients could be treated in outpatient regimens or at home with an improvement in therapeutic efficacy and in the reduction of hospitalizations and healthcare costs.

    Symposium

    Antiviral immune control

    The delicate balance between protective and pathogenetic processes during viral infections represents a key topic to be addresses in order to identify protective signature and viral/host targets for new treatments. In SARS-CoV-2 infection, the wide range of clinical presentations of COVID-19, ranging from asymptomatic to severe pneumonia, strongly supports a main role of host factors in defining the outcome of the infection. Accordingly, several studies described underlying immune-based pathogenic mechanisms characterized by a profound lymphopenia, an exacerbated inflammatory responses and a dysregulated innate and adaptive immune response. Early events after infection (Type-I IFN-s, innate immune cells activation, inflammatory storm) can represent the first critical step able to drive the generation of a sterilizing and long lasting immunity.

    2DR: Evolving mindset, expanding experience

    The life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLWHIV) is now close to the one of HIV negative people. This important milestone has been achieved thanks to the continuous evolution of antiretroviral therapy (ART), the basis of which continuous improvement placed on providing optimal therapeutic options for long-term management. In this context, ART therapy has evolved in the direction of 2-drug regimens (2DR), which, initially considered a new concept, today represent a reality in the embedded phase. In particular, dolutegravir (DTG) -based regimens are an important therapeutic option, both in the initial phase of treatment and in the switch from ARV. Starting from these assumptions, the session will focus on the evolution of the mindset in therapy management thanks to the solid evidence from the clinical studies available for DTG / 3TC and DTG / RPV. This evolution is associated with a growth of experience in clinical practice with the expansion of the use of DTG-based 2DRs in both HIV + naive and virologically suppressed patients. Regarding these aspects, the most recent data available for regimens containing dolutegravir and lamivudine (DTG / 3TC; DTG + 3TC) and dolutegravir and rilpivirine (DTG / RPV) will be investigated.

    Symposium

    Pharmacology of antiviral drugs and vaccines

    At global level, the change in viral dynamics is severe enough to require a corresponding interest in discussing some of the issues directly related to the pandemic controls, i.e. the variability of the viruses and the  microbiological aspects of vaccination. As far as the "pharmacology" issue is concerned, it is interesting noting that several antiretroviral drugs are substrates of enzymes belonging to the cytochrome P450 superfamily, which are polymorphically expressed, and consistent evidences are available in literature showing that genetic variation in these enzymes can predict the likelihood of anti-HIV treatment success, toxicity and/or the potential for drug-drug interactions. Preliminary evidences are also available showing that allelic variants of genes involved in the pharmacodynamics of antiretroviral drugs can impact on the clinical outcome of people living with HIV.

    Sponsored Symposium

    Continuous innovation for long-term treatment success

    The advent of antiretroviral therapy (ART), once-daily single tablet regimens (STRs) combining efficacy and long-term safety in a simpler and simpler way, represents some of the most significant milestones that have helped bring radical change in the outlook for people living with HIV. However, there are still some clinical and virological needs in the achievement of the long-term treatment success. The Symposium is designed both to rethink the determinants of long-term treatment success and take a look to the present and future therapeutic options. It's a matter of quality or quantity?

    Symposium

    Behavioral and social impact of COVID-19 in PLWH

    COVID-19 has heavily impacted the lives of PLHIV for a number of different reasons, ranging from the difficulty in accessing infectious disease units and keeping in contact with their doctors, to changes in relational and behavioural habits - traumas to which people with HIV have been exposed in the past. Prolonged periods of lockdown, social distancing, forced isolation and being in the condition to transmit a virus to others again have evoked old fears. COVID-19 has also highlighted and increased health inequalities: vulnerable people have to struggle to take care of basic needs such as food and shelter, while little has been done to ensure equity and address the health and socioeconomic disparities of vulnerable communities. This symposium tries to shed some light on these different aspects.

    Despite several reports have been produced that investigate Covid-19 in HIV-infected patients, there is still no consensus whether HIV+ individuals do indeed display a most severe disease course as compared to HIV-uninfected peers. Likewise, given the HIV-driven immune dysfunction, not much is known about the immune response to Covid-19 vaccination in HIV+ patients. The most recent data describing Covid-19 clinical and immunological correlates in persons living with HIV (PLWH) will be presented within this Symposium, together with data describing the immunologic response to Covid-19 vaccination in this group of patients. Retention in care has long been considered a major goal in the best management of PLWH, that has been suggested to be potentially overhung by shifts in clinical efforts towards Covid-19 patients. The Symposium will approach the most recent findings describing retention in care in PLWH during Covid-19 pandemic as well as strategies to most efficaciously support it.

    Symposium

    Novel long-acting therapies for the treatment of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) HIV-1 infection: let's go undetectable again

    The Symposium will focus on the new long-acting antiretrovirals designed to treat HIV+ persons harboring a virus resistant to other HIV treatments. Among others the symposium will share details on post attachment inhibitors through a unique mechanism of action blocks HIV-1 entry into cells, while preserving normal immune function. Effective against multiple drug-resistant strains, regardless of viral tropism, with high tolerability and safety,  it represents a novel approach in the management  of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) HIV infection.

    Monoclonal antibodies and their role in COVID-19 patients: results and perspectives

    The development of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies is currently at the front line of fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the emergence and proliferation of SARS-CoV-2 variants conferring resistance to some antibodies is deeply concerning. Furthermore, as additional variants of concern will likely continue to emerge, there is a high unmet medical need for therapeutics that, alone or in combination, can remain effective as the virus evolves. The Expert Meeting will present the state of the art of virological research against COVID-19 with a look at the promising clinical data emerging from the use of monoclonal antibodies and the most recent clinical experiences in the field.

    Vaccines roadmap: the humanity game-changer

    History is characterized by epidemic and pandemic, documented since the second century with the Antonine plague, caused by unknown pathogenic that over the years we have been able to better know and manage. The crucial course that revolutionized the humanity history saving billion of lives from certain death began with the smallpox vaccine. The scientific progress made possible the eradication of some infections that nowadays belong to the past. The aim of the Expert Meeting is to deepen the knowledge on epidemiologic and clinical data, looking at how the vaccines can still make the difference in managing the HIV and SARS-COV 2 pandemics.

    MDR pathogens in the COVID-19 era: experiences with Cefiderocol

    Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global problem to which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may further contribute. Every year, drug-resistant microbes are responsible for an estimated 700,000 deaths and future projections for the impact of unresolved AMR are as high as 10 million deaths per year by 2050. One of the most significant threats in global health is the carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria and lack of efficient antibiotics. The World Health Organization designated carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii as high-priority pathogens, which urgently need new antimicrobial development. The Expert Meeting aims to provide information on real life cases treated with Cefiderocol, a recent new option for patients with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections.

    The first of a new generation NNRTI: the opportunity to get to the heart of PLWH

    PLWH may be predisposed to higher risk of Cardiometabolic Disorders such as dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In fact, metabolic syndrome affects up to 52% of PLWH. EACS guidelines suggest an ARV modification in case of CVD risk. Here, we review the efficacy and safety profile of the new generation of NNRTI, with a focus on Cardiometabolic Disorders.

    Hyperinflammation and COVID-19: from research to clinical practice

    The natural history of COVID-19 includes an initial stage of viral replication that can be followed by a second stage of immunopathology driven by a hyperinflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. This is characterized by excessive release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (i.e. IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, TNF, GM-CSF, and IFN-g). This increasing evidence has prompted the investigation of immunomodulatory therapies in order to 1) attenuate the exaggerated immune response of the host; 2) identify the most appropriate immunomodulating strategies; 3) the optimal timing of such interventions, and achieve the more robust clinical benefits in patients with COVID-19.

    Expert Meeting

    Roundtable New treatment options for heavily pretreated patients

    Patients with multidrug-resistant HIV currently make up a smaller but still challenging part of the population living with HIV. Challenges with tolerability, safety, and drug-to-drug interactions may further decrease the number of acceptable antiretroviral therapies available to design effective treatment regimens. There remains an unmet need for these individuals who are considered heavily treatment-experienced (HTE) and who are unable to successfully suppress their HIV.  Until the past couple of years, there were a limited number of targets on the human immunodeficiency virus that could be hit by available medications. Recently, several new targets have emerged: the Experts will review the clinical data obtained with the different strategies pursued in this clinical setting.

    ICONA-PROs in the real-life setting

    As infection with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has evolved into a chronic disease there is a strong rationale for evaluating the impact of antiretroviral therapies on broader aspects of patient's lives, including psychological, symptoms, functioning, well-being, satisfaction, etc. and the impact on the patient. Therefore, perceived health-related quality of life (HRQoL) became a prominent and important patient-reported outcomes (PROs) measure in HIV care, defined as any report of the status that comes directly from the patient without interpretation by a clinician or anyone else. This is particularly true in a cohort setting such as ICONA which decided to launch a new project devoted to HRQoL and PROs including the QoL APP, created to better respond to requests of effective digital tool to collect measures of patient- reported outcomes.

    Symposium

    Approaching the Long Acting Therapy in HIV

    Long Acting (LA) therapies offer a key difference to currently available ART regimens: patient choice related to their preferred way to administer medications. The affected community and HIV providers are very interested in exploring the role of long-acting therapies to address some types of barriers to medication adherence. This Symposium will address the rationale and the current data supporting the efficacy and safety of the first complete LA ART regimen, cabotegravir and rilpivirine, and outline associated opportunities and challenges with the implementation of long-acting therapy for the treatment and prevention of HIV.

    Rethinking antiretroviral therapy: new issues, new approaches

    Great strides have been made in HIV prevention and treatment. Life expectancy of people living with Hiv infection, appropriately treated is now almost the same as the general population, a huge success that needs to be maintained and translated into a good quality of life. The range of available antiretroviral therapies has expanded considerably over the years to now include several classes of antiretrovirals. New drugs with unique mechanisms of action likely effective also against HIV strains with resistance will be available very soon and long-acting therapies that could be taken once every month, once every two months or even less will be available in the next years.This Symposium will debate the most critical points for a proper management of HIV prevention and treatment in this dynamic scenario.

    How the past shapes the future

    In this changing scenario caring for HIV is constantly a challenge and with it both the management of long-term antiretroviral therapy and the unmet needs of every single HIV-positive patient and at-risk population. PLWH require long-life treatments while maintaining durability and tolerability of antiretroviral regimen. The aim of symposium is going through the long innovation path focusing on value of ART history in the new global landscape depicted by COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, data obtained from experience will be discussed to better support treatment strategies in daily practice for improving patients care.

    Symposium

    The Italian Fast-Track Cities network

    The Fast-Track Cities initiative is a global partnership between cities and municipalities around the word and four core partners: the International Association of Providers of AIDS-Care (IAPAC), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) and the City of Paris. Launched on Word AIDS Day 2012, the Network has grown to include more than 300 Cities and municipalities that are committed to attain the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets by 2030. The aim of the Symposium is to discuss the global initiatives and to focus on the Italian Fast-Track Cities state of the art, in a round table involving the different Italian Fast-Track Cities' stakeholders.

    Symposium

    Long-COVID and HIV: which signatures?

    COVID-19 has the potential to affect people living with HIV (PLWH) in various ways, including be increased risk of COVID-19 acquisition and interruptions of HIV treatment and care. The purpose of this session is to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 among PLWH.  In particular to explore how different processes involving aging, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk may interact in HIV and SARS-CoV-2 co-infection, particularly the long-term effects generated by the collision of the two pandemics.

    Expert Meeting

    Hepatitis D virus in 2021: new challenges in tough-to-treat patients

    Hepatitis delta virus (HDV), first discovered in Italy in 1977, is a small defective RNA virus which requires the helper function of HBV for its replication and transmission to anti-HDV-negative individuals. HDV infection can be transmitted either simultaneously with HBV infection (co-infection) or to people who are already chronic HBV carriers (super-infection). It has been estimated that 15-20 million people worldwide have a chronic HDV infection; in Italy prevalence is estimated around 7-8% among HBV infected people. Coinfections lead to more serious liver disease than hepatitis B infection alone. They are associated with faster progression to liver fibrosis, increased risk of liver cancer, and early decompensated cirrhosis and liver failure. Up to 90% of superinfected individuals will develop chronic infections of both hepatitis B and delta, of which approximately 70% will progress to cirrhosis (liver scarring), compared to 15-30% of those infected only with the hepatitis B virus. Until now, people with HDV had very limited treatment options and poor diagnosis. The Expert Meeting will focus on a new agent - bulevirtide - a first-in-class HBV and HDV entry inhibitor that targets the human NTCP (sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide) transmembrane protein.

    Expert Meeting

    Remdesivir from the pivotal trials to the real world experiences: are there other open questions?

    The use of remdesivir, the first and only antiviral drug authorized in Europe for the treatment of COVID-19, is increasingly supported by numerous real-world data, which confirm the results of three randomized and controlled clinical trials, including the ACTT-1 study, the gold standard randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial on the efficacy of remdesivir. While in these studies no benefit on mortality rates or a non-statistically significant trend towards benefit for mortality were reported, the results of recent international real-world retrospective analyses on large data sets complete the picture provided by the randomized and controlled clinical trials, showing that hospitalised COVID-19 patients treated with remdesivir had a statistically significant reduction in mortality and improved survival compared to matched controls. These robust findings have been observed not only in the overall population but also across all subgroups of patients requiring supplemental oxygen.The meeting will be an opportunity to present a scientific update on the efficacy data and to share opinions and experiences about a year after the introduction of remdesivir in clinical practice in Italy.The Expert Meeting will be carried out through an interactive discussion between young and experienced infectious disease specialists, who will talk about their experience on the use of remdesivir in clinical practice.
