Abs.

HIV-1 by antibody VRC01. Science 2010;July 8 (Epub ahead of print).

Neutralizing Antibodies A Step Forward?

Recognition that ‘early’ Abs are particularly ineffective Major impediment in vaccine development Thailand vaccine trial: 30% reduction in infection rates

(p>0.05)/vaccine abandoned Previously ‘broadly neutralizing Abs’ (BN Abs) defined by

ability to negate ~ 40% of HIV strains

Neutralizing Antibodies Structural basis for broad and potent neutralization of HIV-1 by antibody VRC01.

Long recognized that most HIV targeted Abs do not sufficiently neutralize HIV

Focus on critical Ab sites associated with minimal mutations Donor 45 (AA male with long-standing HIV): probed for BN

Abs Three unique BN Abs indentified (VRC01, VRC02, VRC03)

Neutralizing Antibodies Structural basis for broad and potent neutralization of HIV-1 by antibody VRC01.

BN Abs active against an unprecedented 90% of HIV strains (notably inclusive of almost all sexually transmitted strains)

VRC01: gp120 specific, avoids confirmationally fluid areas of binding site, not affected by glycan shielding, lacks any auto-reactivity

Source of ‘elite control’?

window of opportunity)

Clinical Implications

Exogenous administration of Abs (passive immunization) – perinatal transmission?

Background

National Osteoporosis Foundation:1

Recommends adequate calcium intake of at least 1,200 mg daily, including supplements if necessary, for those age 50 and older

Vitamin D intake of 800-1000 international units

Consider not only impact on bone health, but overall patient health

Author’s conclusions

Treatment of 1000 people with calcium for 5 years: Causes 14 additional myocardial infarctions

Prevents 26 fractures

Supplementation of calcium without coadministered vitamin D is associated with an increased risk of MI

Reconsideration of the role of calcium supplementation in prevention and treatment of osteoporosis is needed

Bolland MJ, et al. BMJ 2010;341:c3691.

Discussion: Limitations

NOF recommends adequate calcium ANDvitamin D Meta-analysis excluded studies that included

vitamin D

High dietary calcium intake

Trials did not have CV events specified as the primary endpoint

Incomplete data in 15% of participants

Vitamin D & CV Health

In observational studies, Vitamin D deficiency is associated with CV disease and multiple CV risk factors1

Women’s Health Initiative2

Coadministration of calcium 500 mg + vitamin D 200 IU BID had no effect on CHD or stroke risk

Patient population differed from current meta-analysis

1. Reddy Vanga S, et al. Am J Cardiol 2010;106:798-805.2. Hsia J, et al. Circulation 2007;115;846-854.

Clinical Applicability

Assess dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D prior to recommending supplementation

Take an active role in reducing CV risk factors for all patients

DiscussionOne of the largest studies to compare DA and NE head‐to‐head in shock syndromes

50% mortality rate consistent with norm

High external validity including multiple forms of shock syndromes

Early difference in cardiogenic shock mortality due to arrhythmias from dopamine

LimitationsNo mention of standard of care measures used or treatment of underlying cause ? Implemented similarly between groups

Type of shock included

Definition of “adequate administration of fluids” (1 L crystalloid, 500mL colloid)

Definition of resolution of shock ill‐defined

Definition of “Equipotent” vasopressor dose

Open‐label NE allowed (26% DA & 20% NE)

Interpretation: Does NE no longer ‘leave ‘em dead’?Data challenges consensus guideline recommendation for dopamine as 1st‐line

Minimizes perception that norepinephrine causes excessive harmful organ vasoconstriction

Implications for treatment of cardiogenic shock

Guideline change may be warranted

Consistent with SOAP 1 study

Implications for procurement & administration
