Result: Based on data from these patient-derived isolates, BIC had an improved resistance profile compared to DTG, EVG, and RAL (with mean fold changes of 2.8, 5.8, >106, and >100, respectively; P = 0.04 for BIC versus DTG) and, most notably, against highly
INSTI-resistant isolates encoding multiple mutation combinations, such as
E92Q/
N155H or
G140C/S plus
Q148R/H/K with or without additional
INSTI mutations (P = 0.037 for the 23 isolates with mutations at positions 140 and 148 and P = 0.031 for the 2 isolates with mutations at positions 92 and 155 for BIC versus DTG).
