Purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to discuss recent pharmacological, virological, and clinical data that concern enfuvirtide usage in different antiretroviral combinations.Recent findingsRandomized, recent trials in multidrug-experienced patients suggest that antiretroviral combinations with enfuvirtide have excellent virological responses with new antiretroviral compounds, including darunavir, etravirine, raltegravir, vicriviroc, and maraviroc. Trials confirm long-term safety, in spite of moderate injection-site reactions or pain, and lack of significant interactions. Preliminary data suggest that switching from enfuvirtide to raltegravir is effective and using enfuvirtide in prophylaxis of mother-to-child transmission is well tolerated. To administer enfuvirtide in an intensification strategy in antiretroviral-naive or experienced populations may accelerate virological decline.SummaryDosage adaptations to renal insufficiency are not necessary with enfuvirtide. Spinal fluid concentrations and ombilic cord passage are negligible. Durability of virological responses with enfuvirtide in combinations has been confirmed, in spite of injection-site reactions and twice daily subcutaneous administration. Enfuvirtide should be used with at least one other fully active drug in optimized background therapy in multidrug-experienced populations, a possible exception being with entry inhibitors, which may further benefit from the addition of a third active drug. Data concerning enfuvirtide in antiretroviral combinations show accelerated viral load decline, and the possibility of switching from enfuvirtide to raltegravir without modification of optimized background therapy.
