Short-term maraviroc exposure, a clinical approach to decide on maraviroc prescription in HIV-1-infected treatment-naïve patients. Drug Des Devel Ther. 2016 Jan 18;10:353-4http://hdl.handle.net/10668/9810Woollard and Kanmogne1 have generated an exhaustive review on maraviroc and its use in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Within their interesting dissertation, they discuss about the maraviroc clinical test (MCT), a clinical approach developed in our group in order to decide candidate patients to receive maraviroc as part of a further combined antiretroviral therapy, as an alternative to genotypic and phenotypic tropism assays.2 Based on our results, they state that MCT could help to determine/confirm the genotypic/phenotypic HIV-1 tropism, particularly in patients with nonreportable results by Trofile®. Subsequently, they note that “no concordance” between standard V3-based genotypic tropism assays and virological response to maraviroc monotherapy was found, according to previous results generated by our group.3 Finally, based on the results of Hernández-Novoa et al,4 they conclude that short-term maraviroc exposure cannot predict viral tropism in treatment-naïve patients.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/MaravirocHIV InfectionsHIV-1Viral TropismTropismAnimalsCCR5 Receptor AntagonistsCyclohexanesHIV Fusion InhibitorsHIV InfectionsHIV-1HumansTriazolesletter to the editor26848259open accessMaravirocInfecciones por VIHTropismoAntirretroviralesVIH-1GenotipoTécnicas de genotipajeIsoniazidaInfecciones por papillomavirus10.2147/DDDT.S1006391177-8881PMC4723024https://www.dovepress.com/getfile.php?fileID=28659https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4723024/pdf
