摘要：

The efficacy of 400mg efavirenz (EFV) once daily is reported to be similar to that of 600mg EFV. However, EFV-related toxic and side effects of 400mg EFV are significantly reduced. Here, the feasibility of reducing EFV to 400mg once a day in HIV-infected/AIDS patients was evaluated. Fifty patients were included. Patients were given 3TC+TDF+400mg EFV (n=25) or 3TC+TDF+600mg EFV (n=25). The proportion of patients with HIV RNA < 40 copies/mL and the adverse events served as the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. HIV inhibition rates of the 3TC+TDF+400mg EFV group and 3TC+TDF+600mg EFV group were both 56.52% at week 24 and respectively 100%, 91.3% at week 48. During 48 weeks, 27 cases of adverse events were reported in the 3TC+TDF+400mg EFV group, lower than those in the 3TC+TDF+600mg EFV group, which had 39 cases. Compared with the 3TC+TDF+400mg EFV group, the incidence of transaminase, dizziness, hyperlipidemia and rashes all increased in the 3TC+TDF+600mg EFV group (P>0.05). No serious adverse events of the central nervous system occurred. The incidence of depression, sleep disturbance, and vertigo were similar (P>0.05). The efficacy of 400mg EFV is comparable to 600mg EFV. However, patients receiving 400mg EFV have fewer adverse events.
