Theratechnologies’ Trogarzo® (Ibalizumab-uiyk) Shortens Time to HIV Undetectability and Extends Durability of Undetectability and Viral Suppression in a Matched Treatment Comparison

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, May 4, 2023

The ibalizumab study is thought to be the first matching-adjusted indirect treatment comparison (MAIC) study in HIV, an approach designed to facilitate a closely matched comparison from a synthesized, real-world population, when randomization to a control arm would be impractical or unethical.

Key Points: 
  • The ibalizumab study is thought to be the first matching-adjusted indirect treatment comparison (MAIC) study in HIV, an approach designed to facilitate a closely matched comparison from a synthesized, real-world population, when randomization to a control arm would be impractical or unethical.
  • Despite ibalizumab trial participants having more severe disease at baseline than non-ibalizumab controls, ibalizumab was associated with superior virologic outcomes.
  • Additionally, the same significance emerged for maintaining viral suppression, which was 18 times lower for real-world non-ibalizumab regimens compared to ibalizumab.
  • For both durability analyses, confidence intervals were wide but statistically significant (SMR-weighted HR: 18.36; 95% CI: 2.48, 135.68).
