The virological efficacy of ibalizumab has been clearly demonstrated in multiple clinical trials. This study will expand ibalizumab's clinical data set and allow a better understanding of the virologic response durability on ARV regimens with or without ibalizumab in a heterogeneous real-world patient population. Additional data on the efficacy and safety of ibalizumab and its impact on patient reported outcomes will be captured until study end.
Primary Objective:
To evaluate the long-term efficacy, safety, and durability of ibalizumab in combination with other ARVs by comparing the virologic, immunologic and clinical outcomes of patients receiving ibalizumab treatment versus patients not receiving ibalizumab.
Secondary Objective:
To assess the efficacy of ibalizumab in combination with other antiretrovirals by comparing the virologic, immunologic, clinical and patient reported outcomes of patients before and after they receive ibalizumab treatment.
To assess the long-term safety and tolerability of ibalizumab.
Other Objectives:
To assess risk factors/predictors of virologic and immunologic response. To assess efficacy and safety in special populations that enroll.

HIV Infections Multi-Antiviral Resistance | Other: No ibalizumab or Pre-ibalizumab treatment Biological: On ibalizumab treatment |
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) for treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has evolved tremendously over recent years. Newer medications have superior efficacy and tolerability, affording more convenient treatment regimens. The proportion of patients receiving antiretroviral (ARV) treatment that maintain viral suppression is approximately 85% in the United States. However, some patients may not be able to adhere to the prescribed ARV regimen or harbour strains of HIV that are resistant to most currently available therapies. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) HIV may be transmitted or result from incomplete viral suppression, which leads to accumulation of mutations in the viral genome over time. Patients with MDR HIV infection have significantly fewer available treatment options to construct a fully suppressive regimen. This ultimately results in shorter life expectancy, greater potential for transmission of MDR virus, increased morbidity and greater use of health resources. These comparisons are valid for the general population as well as people infected with non-MDR virus.
Ibalizumab, a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds to a conformational epitope on domain 2 of the extracellular portion of the CD4 receptor, belongs to a new class of ARVs, CD4-directed post-attachment HIV-1 inhibitors, Ibalizumab exhibits no known cross-resistance with other ARV medications. Ibalizumab was approved by the FDA on March 6, 2018 and is indicated in combination with other ARVs for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in heavily treatment-experienced adults with MDR HIV-1 infection failing their current ARV regimen. It has been available commercially from April 2018.
The safety, efficacy and durability of response to ibalizumab treatment in combination with other ARVs have been demonstrated in clinical trials. This registry is designed to better understand the long-term efficacy and safety outcomes of MDR patients with and without ibalizumab in a real-world scenario.

Group/Cohort | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Cohort 1 (No ibalizumab or Pre-ibalizumab treatment):
This cohort will be comprised of Heavily treatment-experienced (HTE) patients with Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) HIV who are not receiving ibalizumab. These patients will roll-over into cohort 2 if a change to their ARV regimen is made to include ibalizumab.

Other: No ibalizumab or Pre-ibalizumab treatment
Patient registry
Other Name: Ibalizumab |
Cohort 2 (On ibalizumab treatment):
This cohort will be comprised of Heavily Treatment-Experienced patients (HTE) with Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) HIV who are starting treatment with an ARV regimen that includes ibalizumab. Patients already receiving ibalizumab prior to study entry may also be included in Cohort 2 if baseline viral load (VL) and cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) count data are available prior to ibalizumab treatment. Recruited patients will be required to consent to provide their full retrospective ARV treatment and drug resistance history, as well as retrospective historical data from their medical records from 01 May 2018 to enrollment.

- Primary Outcome measures [ Time Frame: Maximum 36 months ]
To compare the virologic, immunologic and clinical outcomes of patients receiving ibalizumab treatment vs. matched patients not receiving ibalizumab. And to evaluate the long-term efficacy and durability of ibalizumab in combination with other antiretrovirals. The following data will be collected:
RELEVANT DISEASE AND PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
- HIV Type
- Duration of HIV infection
- Gender
- Age
- Race/ethnicity
- Vital signs (weight (kilograms), height (meters), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg))
- Geographic location
- AIDS-defining illnesses (CDC classification)
- Comorbidities and other diagnoses
- Concomitant medications
- Primary Outcome measures [ Time Frame: Maximum 36 months ]
BASELINE DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
- Pre-enrolment Viral Load (copies/ml)
- Pre-enrolment CD4 count (cells/mm3)
- Laboratory parameters: Hepatitis serology, CD4 (cells/mm3), CD8 (cells/mm3), HIV-RNA, HIV subtype
- Historic Antiretroviral treatment (three years prior to enrolment)
- Previous (three years prior to enrolment) and ongoing antiretroviral treatment
- Genotypic and phenotypic resistance data and complete history
- HIV subtype when available for patient
- Primary Outcome measures [ Time Frame: Maximum 36 months ]
ON-TREATMENT INFORMATION:
- CD4 count (cells/mm3)
- Viral Load (copies/ml)
- Weight (kilograms)

- Secondary Outcome measures [ Time Frame: Maximum 36 months ]- Treatment satisfaction (associated with use of an ibalizumab-containing ARV regimen) will be assessed using the HIV Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire status version (HIVTSQs12) at Ibalizumab day 0 treatment initiation (Day 0IBA) and at 6, 12 and 24 months following ibalizumab initiation for participants in cohort 2.
- Secondary Outcome measures [ Time Frame: Maximum 36 months ]- Change in treatment satisfaction (associated with the transition to an ibalizumab-containing ARV regimen) will be assessed using the HIV Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire change version (HIVTSQc12) at 6 and 12 months after Day 0IBA for participants in cohort 2.
- Secondary Outcome measures [ Time Frame: Maximum 36 months ]- Adherence to Antiretroviral regimen, defined as the self-reported number of missed ARV doses in the prior week, will be assessed at Day 0IBA and at 6 and 12 months after Day 0IBA for all Cohort 2 patients starting ibalizumab treatment at the time of enrollment or transitioning from Cohort 1 to Cohort 2.
