Sponsor's own description

Combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) is thought to promote coronary artery disease via a number of mechanisms: abnormal lipid profiles, endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, insulin resistance and renal impairment are the main pathological mechanisms driving atherosclerosis as a consequence of cART. An association between protease inhibitors and increased cardiovascular disease risk has been shown in many large cohort trials. CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA) is now widely used to assess for the presence of atherosclerosis, typically in patients presenting with chest pain. This imaging technique allows visualisation of the coronary arteries and quantification of any atherosclerotic disease that may be present. This technique is being increasingly used as a surrogate for cardiovascular disease risk. HART CT is an open label, prospective, randomised-control pilot study to investigate the feasibility of performing a future appropriately powered multi-centred randomised control trial using CT based outcome data as a surrogate for cardiovascular disease risk. Participants will be randomised to either continue their usual cART or switch to Biktarvy (a fixed dose combination of bictegravir, emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide). A baseline CT scan will be performed. If there is any evidence of atherosclerosis a further CT scan will be performed at the end of the study (approximately 48 weeks). This will allow quantification of any change in coronary artery plaque burden or characteristic. Participants will be also followed up for any changes in metabolic health.
