To understand whether combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has been optimized, we asked whether 3-drug protease inhibitor (PI)-based cART intensified with raltegravir and maraviroc and initiated during early infection would improve outcomes when compared to similarly applied 3-drug PI-based cART. 40 newly HIV-1 infected patients were randomized 1:2 to receive 3-drug (N=14) or 5-drug (N=26) therapy. The primary endpoint was the percent of subjects with undetectable plasma viremia using standard RT-PCR and the single copy assay (SCA) after 48 weeks. Secondary endpoints included levels of cell-associated HIV-1 DNA and RNA and levels of infectious virus in resting CD4+ T cells at week 96 and quantitative and qualitative immunologic responses. At 48 weeks, 34 subjects remained on study and are included in the as-treated analysis. Three of 11 (27.3%) in the 3-drug arm and 9 of 21 (42.9%) in the 5-drug arm had plasma HIV-1 RNA levels below detection by both standard RT-PCR and SCA (P= 0.46, Fishers exact test). No significant differences in absolute levels of proviral DNA or changes in cell-associated RNA were seen during 96-weeks of therapy. Mean levels of infectious HIV-1 in resting CD4+ T cells at week 96 in 7 subjects treated with 3-drugs and 13 with 5-drugs were 0.67 and 0.71 IUPM respectively (P= 0.81). No differences were seen in quantitative or qualitative immunologic determinations including markers of immune activation. Intensified 5-drug cART initiated during early infection fails to significantly further impact virologic or immunologic responses beyond those achieved with standard 3-drug PI-based cART.
