We describe and analyze resistance-associated mutations (RM) and virological failures (VF) on antiretroviral therapy using the latest approved integrase inhibitors (INIs) dolutegravir (DTG), bictegravir (BIC), and cabotegravir (CAB), together with their companion drugs in fixed-dose formulations: BIC/emtricitabine/tenofovir; CAB/rilpivirine; DTG/abacavir/lamivudine; DTG/emtricitabine/tenofovir; and DTG/lamivudine. Systematic literature searches were conducted in PubMed and other electronic databases for clinical studies published between January 2010 and May 2023, according to preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines (PRISMA), which analyzed VFs and RMs of INIs. Fifty clinical studies were included in the synthesis. VF in antiretroviral treatment (ART)-naïve patients occurred in 0.7-4.0%, 0.6-1.4%, and 0.6-9.0% of patients treated with DTG, BIC, and CAB, respectively. VF was reported in patients with previous ART in 0-8.1%, 0-2.0%, and 0.4-2.3% of those treated with DTG, BIC, and CAB, respectively. RMs were detected in ART-naïve patients in only one study with DTG (0.3%), none of the studies with BIC, and three of the studies with CAB (0.1-5.4%). In ART-experienced patients, RMs were detected in 0-1.9% of DTG-treated patients. No cases of RM were detected in the 11 BIC studies reviewed. In the case of CAB, RMs were detected in eight studies, ranging from 0.3% to 1.9% of patients. In conclusion, RM rates in the studies reviewed were generally low using the latest INIs. This review identified BIC as the INI with the lowest number of observed VF and lack of RM., (Copyright: © 2024 Permanyer.)
