Compared with TDF, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) results in significantly reduced plasma tenofovir (TFV) and may have less renal and bone toxicity. Methods Treatment naïve HIV-1+ adults were randomised 1:1 to a single tablet regimen of E/C/F/TAF or E/C/F/TDF once daily in two double blind studies. Assessments for all subjects included measures of glomerular and proximal renal tubular function, and bone mineral density (BMD). Four pre-specified secondary safety endpoints were tested: serum creatinine, treatment-emergent proteinuria, spine and hip BMD. Week 48 off-target side effects data are described. Results 1,733 subjects were randomised and treated. Plasma TFV was >90% lower (mean AUCtau 297 vs. 3,410 ng·hr/mL) in the E/C/F/TAF arm, compared to the E/C/F/TDF arm. Serum creatinine (mean change: +0.08 vs +0.11 mg/dL, p < 0.001), quantified proteinuria (UPCR, median % change; -3 vs +20, p < 0.001), and fractional excretion of phosphate (median % change; +0.9 vs +1.7), all favoured E/C/F/TAF. There were no cases of proximal tubulopathy in either arm. Mean% decrease in BMD was significantly less in the E/C/F/TAF arm for both lumbar spine (−1.30 vs −2.86, p < 0.001) and total hip (−0.66 vs −2.95, p < 0.001). Conclusions Through 48 weeks, subjects receiving E/C/F/TAF had significantly better outcomes related to renal and bone health than those treated with E/C/F/TDF;. These data demonstrate important safety benefits of TAF relative to TDF, especially given the ageing of the HIV population and the need for long-term treatment.
