Abstract

HIV-1 tropism assays play a crucial role in determining the response to CCR5 receptor antagonists. Initially, phenotypic tests were used, but limited access to these tests prompted the development of alternative strategies. Recently, genotyping tropism has been validated using a Canadian technology in clinical trials investigating the use of maraviroc in both experienced and treatment-naive patients. The present guidelines review the evidence supporting the use of genotypic assays and provide recommendations regarding tropism testing in daily clinical management.

Les tests de détermination du tropisme du VIH-1 jouent un rôle capital dans la détermination de la réponse aux antagonistes des récepteurs du CCR5. Au début, on utilisait des tests phénotypiques, mais leur accès limité a suscité l’élaboration d’autres stratégies. Récemment, le génotypage du tropisme a été validé à l’aide d’une technologie canadienne, dans le cadre d’essais cliniques faisant appel au maraviroc tant chez des patients déjà en traitement que chez des patients naïfs au traitement. Les présentes lignes directrices passent en revue les données probantes en appui à l’utilisation de tests génotypiques et contiennent des recommandations au sujet des tests de détermination du tropisme dans la prise en charge clinique quotidienne.
