• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the proportion of subjects with HIV-1 RNA < 50 c/mL at Week 48 in patients who failed their first line therapy containing a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or an integrase inhibitor

• Phase: Phase 3
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Bristol-Myers Squibb
• Treatments: Atazanavir Sulfate; Darunavir; Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors; Ritonavir

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Signed informed consent

2. HIV-1 infected patients with viremia (VL ≥ 500/mL) on or after their first NNRTI or INI-based cART regimen and meeting one of the two criteria below:

• On 1st line Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or Integrase inhibitor (INI)-based Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) with HIV-1 RNA ≥ 500 c/ML after being on the same therapy for at least 12 weeks

• Off 1st line NNRTI or INI-based Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) for at least 2 weeks after having been on antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks and who are non-compliant and off first line cART without a history of virologic failure with resistance, with a : HIV-1 RNA ≥ 500 c/ML

3. Fully sensitive genotype and phenotype report for Atazanavir/Ritonavir (clinical cut-off of 5.2) and Darunavir/Ritonavir (clinical cut-off ranging from 10 to 90)

4. At least one NRTI other than Lamivudine (3TC) or emtricitabine (FTC) with full sensitivity (one "active" NRTI) by genotype and phenotype, ie, PhenoSense Genotype (GT), report must provide a "sensitive" net assessment of susceptibility. An NRTI or PI (reported with or without ritonavir) with a "partially sensitive" net assessment will not be considered "fully sensitive"

4. Mentally able to participate in the study 5. Men and women ≥ 18 years old

• Women of child bearing potential who engage in vaginal intercourse and who are not clinically sterilized must use highly effective methods of birth control during the study

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Screening HIV genotype showing presence at baseline of any of the following Protease inhibitor (PI) Mutation Patterns associated with genotypic resistance to Atazanavir sulfate/ Ritonavir or Darunavir/Ritonavir will lead to exclusion:

1. Subjects with any darunavir associated mutations* at baseline (*V11I, V32I, L33F, I47V, I50V, I54L, I54M, T74P, L76V, I84V and L89V)

2. Subjects with a major mutation to Atazanavir sulfate consisting of N88S

3. Subjects with more than 3 of any of the following Atazanavir sulfate related mutations:D30N, M36I/V, M46I/L/T, I54V/L/T/M/A, A71V/T/I/G, G73S/A/C/T, V77I, V82A/F/T/S/I, I84V/A, N88D or L90M

2. Subjects with < 1 fully active NRTI on PhenoSense report, other than lamivudine and emtricitabine

3. Diagnosed with active tuberculosis

4. Chronic hepatitis B infection

5. Hepatitis C-positive patients who are not clinically stable or need treatment during the study period

6. Acute hepatitis in the 30 days prior to study entry

7. Any gastrointestinal disease or surgical procedure that may impact the absorption of study drug

8. Intractable diarrhea within 30 days prior to study entry

9. Presence of a newly diagnosed Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related opportunistic infection or any medical condition requiring acute therapy at the time of enrollment

10. Subject's with Cushing's syndrome

11. Untreated hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism

12. Recent therapy with agents with significant systemic myelosuppressive, neurotoxic, pancreatotoxic, hepatotoxic or cytotoxic potential within 3 months of study start

13. Subject's with obstructive liver disease

14. Active alcohol or illegal substance use

15. Inability to swallow capsules

16. Active peripheral neuropathy

17. Presence of cardiomypathy or any significant cardiovascular disease

18. Known, clinically significant cardiac conduction system disease

19. Physical and Laboratory Test Findings:

• Moderate to severe hepatic insufficiency

• Screening laboratory values as follows:

• T4 < 4mcg/dL or >11mcg/dL and/or Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) <0.5mU/L or >5.0mU/L

• Calculated creatinine clearance < 60 cc/min

• Hemoglobin < 8.0 g/dL

• Total serum bilirubin ≥ 1.5 times the ULN

20. Allergies and Adverse Drug Reaction:

• Previously demonstrated hypersensitivity to any of the components of atazanavir or the other experimental agents in this study

• Darunavir contains a sulfonamide moiety. Darunavir should be used with caution in patients with a known sulfonamide allergy

• History of allergy to atazanavir, ritonavir, or darunavir
