A Pilot Study of the Novel Antiretroviral Combination of Atazanavir and Raltegravir in HIV-1 Infected Subjects with Virologic Suppression on a Standard Regimen of Boosted Atazanavir, Tenofovir and Emtricitabine

The BATAR Study Boosted Atazanavir Truvada vs. Atazanavir Raltegravir

P286

Background 2

Patients virologically suppressed on ATV/r + TDF/FTC may require alternative regimens that maintain suppression while addressing specific drug related side effects.

We explored two alternative regimens that replace continued ritonavir and/or TDF/FTC.

This open-label exploratory pilot trial enrolled 43 patients virologically suppressed on ATV/r + TDF/FTC.

Methods-1 3

Subjects: HIV-1-positive virologically suppressed adults (HIV RNA < 50 copies/ml) on a “preferred” regimen of ritonavir-boosted atazanavir plus tenofovir and emtricitabine.

Primary Objective: to compare virologic outcomes of three regimens in patients with virologic suppression on ritonavir-boosted atazanavir plus tenofovir and emtricitabine.

At baseline, subjects randomly assigned (1:1:1) to one of the three study arms:

ATV/rtv/RAL: atazanavir/ritonavir 300/100 mg once daily plus raltegravir 400 mg twice daily [stop TDF/FTC]

ATV/RAL: atazanavir 300 mg twice daily plus raltegravir 400 mg twice daily [stop TDF/FTC and rtv]

ATV/rtv/TDF/FTC: continue atazanavir/ritonavir 300/100 mg once daily plus co-formulated tenofovir and emtricitabine

Methods-2 4

Secondary Objectives: to compare the safety, tolerability, and satisfaction of the three study regimens.

Measures HIV viral load: Abbott Real Time HIV-1 assay (<40 c/mL) Safety: clinical and lab adverse events (ACTG toxicity grading

scale) ECG: 12 lead ECG conducted at screening, week 2, week 4, and

week 24 QOL: self-report on 100 point Numerical Rating Scale Adherence: three day self-report of missed and taken doses

Definition of Virologic Failure: HIV RNA level > 200 confirmed on consecutive, repeat measurements.

BATAR Study: Conclusions

In this study, the use of ATV/rtv with either TDF/FTC or RAL was similarly successful over 48 weeks in maintaining virologic suppression.

Unboosted twice-daily atazanavir with twice-daily raltegravir had several concerns emerge during study: N=3 (21%) virologic failures without resistance detection CD4 count change was significantly less than Control More neurologic and musculoskeletal adverse events

In sum, these data support the continuation of TDF/FTC with ATV/rtv when tolerated; replacing TDF/FTC with RAL maintained suppression in this pilot though an increased number of neurologic events was observed. The use of twice-daily ATV instead of ATV/rtv is not recommended

for use based on the observations in this pilot

Long-term antiretroviral treatment has led to two unexpected changes in fat distribution – lipoatrophy and lipohypertrophy - which can affect patient quality of life, stigma and cardiovascular morbidity. Changes in body composition are accurately measured using DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scanning. Switching from triple combination treatment to protease inhibitor (PI) monotherapy may prevent or reverse adverse events related to long-term nucleoside analogues. Lipoatrophy is associated with long-term use of thymidine analogues (zidovudine, stavudine). The aim of this meta-analysis was to collect all data from randomized clinical trials of protease inhibitor monotherapy versus triple combination therapy, and compare measures of lipodystrophy between the two treatment strategies.

Background

Presented at: Eleventh International Congress on Drug Therapy in HIV Infection (HIV11), Glasgow, UK, November 2012 [abstract P287]

Statistical Methods

Conclusions

Six randomised trials of PI monotherapy versus triple therapy had data available in changes in either limb or trunk fat, using DEXA scanning. In the meta-analysis, the risk of lipoatrophy was significantly lower for patients taking PI monotherapy, compared to triple therapy. There was no significant difference between the arms for lipohypertrophy. However, several of the trials included zidovudine in the control arm, which carries a higher risk of lipoatrophy than the more widely used alternatives: tenofovir and abacavir.

A detailed MEDLINE search was conducted to identify randomised clinical trials of triple combination treatment versus PI monotherapy. Summary results from analysis of changes in body composition (DEXA analysis) were collected: the mean change in limb fat and trunk fat from baseline to Week 48 (or 96), and the percentage of patients with lipoatrophy (20% reduction from baseline in limb fat) or lipohypertrophy (20% rise from baseline in trunk fat). The same methods were then used to compare three other measures of lipodystrophy, all measured by DEXA: (i) the mean change from baseline to Week 48 in trunk fat (ii) the number of patients with a 20% decrease from baseline to Week 48 in limb fat (lipoatrophy), and (iii) the number of patients with a 20% increase from baseline to Week 48 in trunk fat (lipohypertrophy). The primary endpoint for this analysis was the mean change in limb fat from baseline to Week 48 (or 96) – this continuous measure of change in limb fat was predicted to have the highest statistical power to detect differences between treatment arms. This measure was compared between the PI monotherapy arm and triple combination therapy arm across the trials using inverse variance weighting. We used estimates of variability (standard deviation of the mean change from baseline) from the available trials for the meta-analysis. Heterogeneity of treatment effects was investigated using Cochran’s Q tests. All analyses were conducted using Statistical Analysis Software (SAS, Cary, North Carolina, USA).

A retrospective chart review was undertaken with informed consent for patients seen at the Vancouver Infectious Diseases Centre.

We identified all patients in whom KVX was prescribed (following appropriate HLA-B5701 screening and CCR5 tropism testing) with either raltegravir (RGV) or maraviroc (MVC) as initial therapy or as a switch from another regimen.

Follow-up was according to clinical standards at months 1, 3 and then quarterly.

The key endpoints were the achievement or maintenance of virologic suppression (HIV RNA < 50 copies/mL), changes in the CD4 cell count on KVX-based therapy as well as the evaluation of drug-associated toxicity, adherence, resistance and regimen modifications.

As the long-term efficacy of antiretroviral therapy regimens is confirmed, there is a need to identify additional combinations that exhibit long-term safety and potency, while also favoring simplicity of administration.

With this in mind, we undertook a review of the use of abacavir/lamivudine (Kivexa, KVX)-based regimens using integrase or CCR5 inhibitors as the third agent.

OBJECTIVE

Figure 1. Antiretroviral medications used with Kivexa

In patients treated with KVX in combination with RGV or MVC, virologic suppression was achieved or maintained in 89%of the patients. Immunologic responses (CD4 cell counts) were generally improved and there were no significant drug-related toxicities.

KVX-based regimens are safe and effective alternatives to more commonly used regimens in clinical practice, and offer the benefit of good long-term tolerability and little or no need to enhance follow-up for laboratory-based abnormalities.

Consideration should be given to non-NNRTI and non-PI-based regimens to address issues of toxicity and simplification without apparent loss of efficacy.

• Current treatment guidelines recommend efavirenz, boosted PI and just re- cently added, raltegravir based ARV therapy in �rst line. o Efavirenz and boosted PI therapy are associated with predictable side e�ects and the discontinuations rates are signi�cant

o 20 - 35% of patients change their �rst ARV therapy during the 1st year of treatment - see Crouzat et al. poster p273

• Etravirine, a second generation NNRTI, has been shown to have rates of CNS side e�ects similar to placebo in it’s registrational trial (Duet), has a favorable lipid pro�le and has shown robust antiretroviral activity. These, and other prop erties, make it an excellent candidate as a replacement for efavirenz or a boosted PI in patients with side e�ects on their initial regimen.

o Nguyen et al, reported that patients on long term efavirenz did not prefer a switch to etravirine. - In this small study (n=58), patients who did not complain of CNS side e�ects were switched.

o In our study, 27/31 patients switching from efavirenz had complaints of CNS symptoms - in all but 1, CNS symptoms were reported to have improved or re- solved.

o Supporting the results of our study, Nelson et al showed, in a random- ized trial of efavirenz compared to etravirine in treatment naïve HIV in- fected individuals, that the rate of CNS side e�ects was signi�cantly lower in the etravirine group.

• Both boosted PIs and efavirenz have increase lipid levels. In our study, we were able to show a decrease of TC, LDL and triglycerides and no change in HDL

o In the switch study by Nguyen mentioned above, there was an im- provement of lipid pro�les in patients after switching to etravirine.

o In our study, there was minimal amount of change in statin use making it unlikely that the changes in lipids where driven by changes in statin use. - 4 patients added a statin after the switch - 1 patient stopped his statin. o Patients switching from boosted atazanavir had minimal change in their lipid levels. - This is not unexpected as the lipid changes associated with lopinavir/rit have been shown to be greater than those associated with the use of atazanavir/rit. (Molina et al. 2010)

• Limitations:

o non-comparative study

o the majority of patients were MSM men, thus limiting the generalizabil- ity to other populations.

o As this was a retrospective analysis of patients in a clinical practice, some patients are missing lipid data.

o with the availability of new single tablet regimens that include new well-tolerated medications such as rilpivirine/tenofovir/emtribiticine will provide more choices for simpli�cation and side e�ect manage- ment

• Because HIV-infected individuals are being treated earlier in the course of their chronic disease management, the duration of exposure to medications is longer.Current antiretrovirals (ARVs) may have side e�ects that limit their long term use in many patients.

• 2 common sets of side effects are: Neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with efavirenz Dyslipidemia associated with both PI and efavirenz use

• Newer ARVs such as etravirine and raltegravir have comparatively less reported side e�ects of these types in clinic trials

• Switching patients to etravirine is an option to reduce the long-term side e�ect burden of ARVs

• Etravirine has a number of properties that make it a good choice as part of a sim-plified, well tolerated regimen: 1) Potent NNRTI 1.99 log decrease in VL in phase I/ll 7 day mono-therapy study – Grundev et al 2) Good lipid pro�le 3) Good side e�ect pro�le i.e. few neuropsychiatric side e�ects 4) Higher Genetic barrier than 1st gen NNRTIs Vingerhoets et al 5) QD dosing Lalezari, J et al

Methods• Retrospective cohort analysis• Data extracted from an electronic medical record data base HealthScreenTM• Medical charts were reviewed for the reason to switch to etravirine (ETV)

Inclusion Criteria• All HIV + patients on ARV treatment• Switched to ETV and 2 nucleos(t)ides• HIV viral load < 200 copies/ml within 2 months prior to the switch.

Follow-up variables• VL and CD4 count• Lipid pro�le• E�ect on “ reason for switch”

CONCLUSIONS•In this particular cohort of ARV-experienced patients, a combination of ABC/3TC/NVP was safe and maintained virologic suppression in the vast majority of patients, with rates similar to other switch strategies.

•A favourable lipid profile was observed after 96 weeks of follow up.

The objective of this study was to present the clinical experience with the combination of ABC/3TC/NVP in a cohort of adult HIV-infected patients.

Although it is currently being used in clinical practice in many centers in Spain, very scarce information has been published to date with the combination of ABC/3TC/NVP.

Follow-up: baseline, month 1, and every 3-4 months thereafter. Baseline data are presented.

Primary outcome: To estimate if HIV-1 viral load (VL) < 40 c/mL after 48 weeks of ABC/3TC/NVP therapy. Statistical analysis: data were analyzed by intent-to-treat (ITT) (non completer = failure) and on treatment (OT) analyses. Descriptive statistics were expressed as median (range) for quantitative variables and as frequencies and percentages for qualitative variables.

Design: Retrospective, multicenter, cohort study. Setting: 11 Hospitals in Spain with extensive experience in HIV management. Patients: Consecutive adult HIV-infected ARV-experienced patients, HLA-B*5701-negative, who started ABC/3TC/NVP between 2005-2010, with at least one follow-up visit.Intervention and follow-up: Clinical assessment: demographic characteristics, HIV status, ARV regimens (first and current). Laboratory assessment: metabolic parameters, viral load and CD4 counts.

• Adherence is important to the long-term success of antiretroviral regimens.1-3

Once-daily regimens have been shown to improve regimen adherence, leadingto better safety and efficacy.4

• Nevirapine (NVP) has been shown to have minimal untoward effects on serumlipids and therefore should be considered as the NNRTI of choice in patientswho have an elevated cardiovascular risk profile.

• NVP plus tenofovir/r/r emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) has been shown to havenoninferior safety and efficacy compared with atazanavir/r/r ritonavir plus TDF/FTCas well as a less atherogenic lipid profile.5

• Recently, NVP extended-release (NVP XR; 400 mg) was approved for once-daily dosing, based on studies that demonstrated comparable efficacy totwice-daily regimens of NVP immediate-release (NVP IR; 200 mg twice daily)in treatment-naïve individuals.6

• The present report describes the efficacy and safety of switching patients whoare virologically controlled on NVP IR 200 mg twice daily to NVP XR 400 mgonce daily.

• TRANxITION was an open-label, randomized, parallel-group study to assess theefficacy and safety of switching HIV-V-V 1-infected patients who were establishedon a NVP IR–based regimen to a NVP XR–based regimen.

• Upon meeting the screening criteria, patients were randomized 2:1 to receiveeither NVP XR 400 mg once daily or to continue receiving NVP IR 200 mgtwice daily. Baseline randomization was stratified by background NRTI therapy,which patients maintained throughout the trial.

Treatment switch• After week 48, patients initially randomized to NVP IR were allowed to switch

to NVP XR.Key inclusion criteria• HIV-V-V 1-infected patients aged ≥18 years who were stable on a NVP IR–based

regimen for a minimum of 18 weeks. Permissible background NRTI regimenswere fixed-dose combinations or the same drugs in combination withlamivudine/abacavir (3TC/A/A/ BC), emtricitabine/t/t/ enofovir (FTC/T/T/ DF), orlamivudine/zidovudine (3TC/A/A/ ZT).

• An undetectable HIV-V-V 1 viral load (VL) in the preceding 4-month period (lowerlevel of detection <100 copies/mL) and HIV-V-V 1 VL of <50 copies/mL at baselinescreening.

Key exclusion criteria • Currently on an HIV protease inhibitor• Participation in another trial or use of an investigational medicine in the

preceding 2 months• Baseline laboratory results that exceed any of the following laboratory

parameters: Division of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (DAIDS) Grade2 (coagulation, hematology, biochemistry) or Grade 3 (total triglycerides);hepatic cirrhosis stage Child-Pugh B or C

Study endpoints• Primary endpoint

– Proportion of patients with sustained virologic response (SVR) defined as VL<50 copies/mL (lower limit of quantification [LLOQ]) = 50 copies/mL TaTaT qMan,full analysis set [FAFAF S]) through week 24.

• Secondary endpoints included– Efficacy endpoints

• Proportion of patients with SVR defined as VL <50 copies/mL throughweek 144 (week 144 ± 6-week window)

• Proportion of SVR (VL <400 copies/mL)• Time to loss of virologic response (TLOVR)• Change in VL and CD4+ cell counts from baseline at each visit

– Safety endpoints• Adverse events (AEs) (including treatment-related and treatment-

unrelated events)• Serious adverse events (SAEs) (including AIDS-defining events)• Occurrences of rashes and hepatic events• Abnormal laboratory measurements• Changes in laboratory test values from baseline to end of treatment (EOT)• Incidence of AIDS progression or death between baseline and EOT

Introduction

Methods

Presented at the 11th International Congress on Drug Therapy in HIV Infection; November 11-15, 2012; Glasgow, UK

• The 400 mg XR formulation was generally well tolerated, safe, andeffective up to 144 weeks, both in patients who were randomized toswitch from IR to XR in the initial phase (completing at least 144 weeks onXR) as well as in those who switched to XR after 48 weeks on IR(completing at least 96 weeks on XR.

– Efficacy

• At week 48, 96% of patients in the IRpost48XR and 97% of those inthe XRpost48XR groups had undetectable VL (VL <50 copies/mL).

• At week 144, 95% of patients in the IRpost48XR and 95% of patientsin the XRpost48XR groups had undetctable VL (VL <50 copies/mL).

• At the last available observation for all patients, 93.8% had VL<50 copies/mL.

– Safety

• Post 48 week data showed that the frequencies of various AEcategories were similar to but slightly lower for NVP IR patients whoswitched to NVP XR after week 48 compared with patients who tookNVP XR from the beginning of the study.

• The most frequent AEs post week 48 were consistent with thosereported over the 144-week duration of the trial, with the majority ofreported AEs being of either mild or moderate intensity.

• Less than 3% of patients discontinued treatment due to an AE overthe 144 weeks of the trial.

Background: TRANxITION, which compared the efficacy and safety ofswitching virologically suppressed patients from NVP IR (200 mg BID) toNVP XR (400 mg QD) demonstrated the non-inferior efficacy of NVP XR invirologically suppressed patients at 48 weeks. Safety and efficacy results ofpatients initially randomized to NVP IR and switched to NVP XR at 48 weekscompared to patients on NVP XR throughout the study are presented here.

Methods: TRANxITION was an open-label, parallel-group, non-inferiorityclinical trial where adult HIV-V-V 1 patients receiving NVP IR plus a fixed-doseNRTI combination of either lamivudine (3TC)/abacavir (ABC), tenofovir(TDF)/emtricitabine (FTC), or 3TC/zidovudine (ZDV) with undetectable viralloads (VL) were randomized (2:1) to NVP XR or NVP IR. After week 48,patients initially randomized to NVP IR were allowed to switch to NVP XR.Primary endpoint was continued virologic suppression (VL <50 copies/mL)at week 24. Secondary endpoints included long-term follow-w-w up at 48, 96, and144 weeks. The 96-week analysis was used for the US label update and willbe in the US label. Even if not presented here, it should be indicated that ananalysis was done at 96 weeks.

Results: At week 48, proportions of patients with virologic response (LLOQ= 50 copies/mL TaTaT qMan, FAFAF S) were 88.5% (131/148) NVP IR BID arm and88.8% (262/295) NVP XR QD, with an observed difference of 0.3% (95% CI,–6.1, 6.7). Division of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (DAIDS) Grade3 and 4 events were similar for the NVP XR and NVP IR groups at week 48,6.4% (19/295) vs. 6.1% (9/148), respectively, although serious AEs wereslightly higher in the NVP XR group (10.2%, 30/295 vs. 8.1%, 12/148 for theNVP IR group). After week 48, all but 13 patients in the NVP IR arm switchedto NVP XR. At week 144, proportions of patients with virologic responsewere 115/121 (95.0%, patients switching from IR to XR after week 48[IRpost48XR]) and 238/250 (95.2%, patients on XR throughout [XRpost48]).DAIDS grade 3 and 4 events were similar for both post week 48 XR groups atweek 144, with (10/130, 7.7.77%, [IRpost48XR] vs. (31/276, 11.2% [XRpost48),while rates of SAEs were similar in the 2 treatment groups: 17/130 (13.1%)of patients in the IRpost48XR group and 54/276 (19.6%) of patients in theXRpost48 group.

Conclusions: NVP XR QD resulted in continued virologic suppression atweeks 48 and 144. While fewer patients remained in the study post week 48,both XR groups had high virologic response rates. Up to week 144, rates ofserious AEs were modestly higher than at week 24 in both post week 48 XRarms, most likely due to the open-label design of the study.

• Statistics– The primary endpoint and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI)

were analyzed using the TLOVR algorithm by the Cochran's statistical test.A noninferiority test for the primary endpoint (12% margin) was based on a2-sided 95% CI for any difference in the virologic responses of the 2treatment arms (NVP XR vs NVP IR). All safety data were examined bydescriptive statistical methods.

Patient disposition • Patient disposition is presented in Figure 1. After enrollment, 54 patients were

excluded primarily due to failure to meet trial eligibility criteria. Of the 499patients enrolled, 445 were randomized and 443 were treated (148, NVP IR;295, NVP XR). After week 48, 130/143 patients remaining in the NVP IR armexercised their option to switch to the NVP XR formulation, whereas 13 patientscontinued on NVP IR.

Results

Patient baseline characteristics• No significant differences were observed in the baseline characteristics

between patients in any of the treatment groups (Table 1).

Efficacy results• Primary endpoint – week 24

– As measured by the primary endpoint, NVP XR was noninferior to NVP IR,with 93.6% of patients in the NVP XR arm and 92.6% of patients in theNVP IR arm achieving SVR at week 24, with an adjusted difference of 1.0%(95% CI, –4.3, 6.0), using the TLOVR algorithm and Cochran statistics, andwith adjustment for all 3 background treatments.

– No significant difference was seen in median change from baseline to week24 in CD4+ cell counts (NVP IR 32.5 cells/mm3 vs NVP XR 39.8 cells/mm3)between the 2 treatment groups.

• Post week 48 efffff icacy analysis– A total of 130 IR patients switched to NVP XR after week 48. At each visit

after week 48, more than 90% patients observed VL <50 copies/mL.– At week 48, 96.2% (95% CI, 92.8, 99.5) of remaining patients in the NVP

IR/NVP XR group observed VL <50 copies/mL (Table 2). In patientscontinuing on the NVP XR treatment, the proportion was 97.7.71% (95% CI,95.1, 99.1).

– At week 144, 95.0% (95% CI, 91.2, 98.9) of remaining patients in the NVPIR/NVP XR group had an observed VL <50 copies/mL.

– In patients continuing on the NVP XR treatment, the proportion at week 144was 95.2% (95% CI, 92.6, 97.7.78).

– At the last available observation for all patients, 93.8% had VL <50copies/mL.

– For 276 NVP XR patients remaining on NVP XR after week 48, similar rateswere observed at each visit.

– Using 400 copies/mL as the lower limit for response rate, even highernumbers (100% for all treatment groups at week 144) were observed acrossdifferent treatment groups.

Table 3. Adverse events – overall summary – post week 48 (FAS)a

• Adverse events post week 48– Any AEs were reported in 112/130 (86.2%) of patients who completed

48 weeks on IR, then switched to XR (IRpost48XR), and 250/276 (90.6%) ofpatients who were on XR through week 48, and beyond (XRpost48).

– ToToT tal number of patients (13) who continued on IR post week 48 (IRpost48)was too small to allow any meaningful analysis or interpretation.

– Investigator defined drug-related AEs: 4/130 (3.1%) of patients in theIRpost48XR group and 7/276 (2.5%) of patients in the XRpost48 group.

– SAEs: rates of SAEs were similar in the 2 treatment groups: 17/130 (13.1%)of patients in the IRpost48XR group and 54/276 (19.6%) of patients in theXRpost48 group.

– Patients with DAIDS Grade 3 or 4 AEs: 10/130 (7.7.77%) of patients in theIRpost48XR group and 31/276 (11.2%) of patients in the XRpost48 group.

Until the past decade, immune/viral failure was the main reason for antiretroviral treatment changes. After HAART generalization the management of antiretroviral treatment toxicities was the most prevalent reason for treatmentmodification. Today, the advent of new more potent and less toxic drugs as well as more convenient combinations may have changed the situation.

Background

To describe the main reasons that today leads to ART changes in HIV+ patients in Spain in the current clinical practice.

Figure 1. Reasons that leads to treatment changes

No significant correlations were found between reason for changing treatment and age, gender, race, nationality and level of educationSimplification was significantly the main reason of treatment change in both employed and unemployed patients (p<0.01)

• Treatment simplification was the most prevalent reason for a change of treatment.

• Even in advanced lines of treatment. This is so probably because of the advent of ARV drugs that are more potent and effective, withless toxicity and more convenient

• Treatment simplification was significantly the first cause of treatment change in those patients who are currently working or seeking for a job. This highlights the need for simpler regimensthat can adapt to an active life.
