We searched Medline via PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and clinicaltrials.gov for published or completed randomized clinical trials that evaluated induction treatment of first episode HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis from 9 July 2018 (date of last search) to 1 September 2021.
One randomized clinical trial of 844 people with HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis met the inclusion criteria. Participants were randomized to: (1) amphotericin deoxycholate for 7 days, with flucytosine and fluconazole (control); or (2) a single dose of liposomal amphotericin 10 mg/kg with flucytosine and fluconazole (intervention). In the intention-to-treat analysis, 10-week mortality was 24.8% [95% confidence interval (CI): 20.7-29.3%] in the single-dose liposomal amphotericin group compared with 28.7% (95% CI: 24.4-33.4%) in the control group. The absolute difference in 10-week mortality was -3.9% with an upper one-sided 95% CI of 1.2%, within the 10% pre-specified non-inferiority margin. Fewer participants had grade 3 and 4 adverse events in the intervention arm compared with the control arm (50.0% vs. 62.3%, p < 0.001).
In the single study included in this systematic review, single high-dose liposomal amphotericin B with flucytosine and fluconazole was non-inferior to the WHO-recommended standard of care induction therapy for HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis, with significantly fewer adverse events.
方法:我们通过PubMed搜索了Medline,EMBASE,Cochrane图书馆和clinicaltrials.gov的已发表或已完成的随机临床试验,这些试验评估了2018年7月9日(最后一次检索日期)至2021年9月1日首次HIV相关隐球菌性脑膜炎的诱导治疗.
结果:一项针对844名HIV相关性隐球菌性脑膜炎患者的随机临床试验符合纳入标准。参与者被随机分为:(1)两性霉素脱氧胆酸盐7天,与氟胞嘧啶和氟康唑(对照);或(2)单剂量的脂质体两性霉素10mg/kg与氟胞嘧啶和氟康唑(干预)。在意向治疗分析中,单剂量脂质体两性霉素组的10周死亡率为24.8%[95%置信区间(CI):20.7-29.3%],而对照组为28.7%(95%CI:24.4-33.4%)。10周死亡率的绝对差异为-3.9%,上单侧95%CI为1.2%,在10%预先指定的非劣效性范围内。与对照组相比,干预组出现3级和4级不良事件的参与者较少(50.0%vs.62.3%,p<0.001)。
结论:在本系统评价中纳入的单个研究中,单次大剂量脂质体两性霉素B联合氟胞嘧啶和氟康唑不劣于WHO推荐的HIV相关隐球菌性脑膜炎的护理诱导治疗标准,显著减少不良事件。
