Maraviroc (UK-427,857), a selective and reversible CCR5 coreceptor antagonist, has been shown to be active in vitro against a wide range of clinical isolates (including those resistant to existing classes). In HIV-1 infected patients, maraviroc (UK-427,857) given as monotherapy for 10 days reduced HIV-1 viral load by up to 1.6 log, consistent with currently available agents. Safety and toleration have been studied in over 400 subjects for up to 28 days at 300 mg twice daily. No significant effects were seen on the QTc interval. The goal of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of maraviroc (UK-427,857) versus efavirenz, when each are combined with two other antiretroviral agents, in patients who are previously naive to antiretroviral therapy. This study will involve approximately 200 centers from around the world to achieve a total randomized subject population of 1071 subjects. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: maraviroc (UK-427,857) 300 mg once daily added to zidovudine/lamivudine (300 mg/150 mg twice daily), Maraviroc (UK-427,857) 300 mg twice daily added to zidovudine/lamivudine (300 mg/150 mg twice daily) or efavirenz (600 mg once daily) added to zidovudine/lamivudine (300 mg/150 mg twice daily). The study will enroll over approximately an 18 month period (5 months Phase 2b run-in, 13 months Phase 3) with 96 weeks of treatment. This may be extended for an additional 3 years depending on the results at 96 weeks. Physical examinations will be performed at study entry, weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, 60, 72, 84 and 96. Blood samples will also be taken at study entry, weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, 60, 72, 84 and 96. Additionally, blood samples will be drawn twice, at least 30 minutes apart, at weeks 2 and 48 for maraviroc (UK-427,857) pharmacokinetic analysis. As part of this clinical study a blood sample will be taken for non-anonymized pharmacogenetic analysis. Patients will undergo a 12-lead electrocardiogram at study entry, weeks 24, 48 and 96. A computerized tomography (CT) scan will also be performed, at selected centers, at study entry and week 96. Patients will be asked to complete a symptom distress questionnaire at study entry, weeks 12, 24, 48 and 96.

This is a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, dual-arm pilot study to investigate the prevalence of the reverse transcriptase (RT) resistance mutations, K65R/x or L74V/x, in HIV-1 plasma from subjects experiencing confirmed first-time incomplete virologic suppression during treatment with an initial antiretroviral (ARV) regimen consisting of at least 12 weeks of TDF or ABC + emtricitabine (FTC) or lamivudine (3TC) + non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or protease inhibitor (PI). Subjects will be followed until a substantial loss of virologic or immunologic control requires a treatment switch. Confirmed first-time incomplete virologic suppression is defined as an initial plasma HIV-1 RNA response < 400 copies/mL, and subsequent virologic rebound > 400 copies/mL measured at two consecutive times. Subjects will have a screening genotype to establish adherence to their non-suppressive TDF- or ABC-containing regimen by the presence of M184V (or other treatment-related primary) mutation and to demonstrate that the evolution of treatment-emergent RT mutations can be characterized. Twenty subjects (a maximum of 10 per arm) will be enrolled at 10-20 United States (U.S.) sites. If fewer than 20 subjects can be enrolled, the study may be discontinued early by the sponsor. Equal numbers of subjects on Arm A versus Arm B will be a goal.

Measure: Percentage of Participants With Virologic Failure Through Week 48 Time: Up to 48 weeksMany patients who already harbor drug-resistant HIV require interruption of HAART due to poor compliance, poor quality of life, toxicity or development of resistance. In these patients interruption of HAART has a negative impact on patient immune status due to the reemergence of wild-type virus which is in general more pathogenic than HIV isolates containing resistance mutations. There is a need for "bridging" antiretroviral regimens that might prolong time off conventional HAART whilst waiting for a new regimen that is either fully suppressive or less toxic or less demanding for the patient.
GMB: Phase IV, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label Pilot Study of Truvada (TDF+FTC) or Emtricitabine (FTC) Alone Versus HAART Interruption in HIV-Infected Patients Who Need to Interrupt HAART and Who Are Infected With HIV Isolates Containing at Least 2 TAMs (or K65R) and M184V. --- K65R ---
- Available genotype (current or historical) showing M184V and (≥ 2 TAMs or K65R). --- M184V --- --- K65R ---
The purpose of this study is to determine the short term safety, tolerance, and antiviral effect of zidovudine (AZT) and amdoxovir (AMDX, DAPD) in combination, and whether the dosage for AZT can be reduced, potentially decreasing side effects, while maintaining antiviral effects. Study hypothesis: DADP in combination with AZT is safe and effective, and AZT dosing may be reduced, resulting in lower levels of AZT-monophosphate associated with toxicity and maintaining levels of AZT-triphosphate associated with efficacy.
Therefore, second line treatments that are currently in development should provide activity against resultant mutations, primarily M184V/I (17%) and much less commonly K65R (0 to 5%), and ideally prevent or be effective against mutations that may occur during second line therapy. --- M184V --- --- K65R ---
AZT offers anti-K65R activity which is believed to be conferred by the 3'-azido moiety containing pseudo-sugar structure and base components of AZT. --- K65R ---
Hence, AZT could potentially be incorporated to prevent the emergence of the K65R mutation that could limit the long-term benefit of DAPD. --- K65R ---
This 10 day, proof of principle, pharmacokinetic study will provide important information about reduced AZT dosing to support the development of an AZT/DAPD co-formulation which may prevent the emergence of K65R mutations. --- K65R ---

Frequency of opportunistic infections (OI) and disease progression.
Measure: • Proportion of patients with HIV-1 RNA levels of less than 400 copies/mL at week 24 and at week 48 Time: 48 weeksThe study was conducted on people who were taking their first anti-HIV drug regimen (including an Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NNRTI), a type of anti-HIV drug) but the drugs in this regimen were not doing a good job of fighting their HIV infection. The main purpose of this study was to compare two other anti-HIV drug regimens to see how well they fight HIV. The study also looked at how well participants tolerate the drug regimens and how safe they are. The study was designed to determine whether taking the combination of lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) plus raltegravir (RAL) works as well as what is usually used for second-line therapy: LPV/r plus the best-available nucleoside (nucleotide) reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) combination. Testing a regimen that does not include any NRTIs was important because NRTIs may no longer work for patients who received them as part of their first treatment regimen.
The most significant of these mutations include M184V, thymidine analogue mutations (TAMs), Q151M complex, and K65R. --- M184V --- --- Q151M --- --- K65R ---
The presence of K65R would result in resistance to most NRTIs (leaving only zidovudine (ZDV) and possibly abacavir (ABC) as active second-line options); the presence of multiple TAMs and/or Q151M alone or in complex with other mutations would also result in resistance to most NRTIs. --- K65R ---

In the absence of an effective vaccine, focus has shifted to other prevention strategies such as pre-exposure prophylaxis. Tenofovir, with potent activity against retroviruses [1], was developed for oral use as Viread®, which is widely used for HIV treatment. The efficacy of Viread® has been demonstrated in treatment-experienced and naïve patients [2,3]. In antiretroviral-naive patients, the combination of tenofovir with lamivudine and efavirenz has been classified as a preferred regimen in the Department of Health and Human Services treatment guidelines[4], and has been adopted by the South African Department of health as the first line regimen in treatment-naïve HIV infected patients since April 2010. The durability of antiviral response, favourable resistance profile, once daily dosing, and excellent long term safety profile of tenofovir [5], makes this drug an attractive option in both treatment and prevention regimens and its long half-life [6], made it an ideal choice as the first antiretroviral drug to be formulated as a microbicide gel. The CAPRISA 004 study conducted in South Africa which tested the effectiveness and safety of 1% tenofovir gel showed that the use of tenofovir in a gel formulation reduced HIV acquisition by 39% overall, and by 54% in women with high gel adherence [7]. There have been concerns raised regarding the use of tenofovir in both PrEP and treatment regimens due to the potential for selection of viral mutations and development of resistance in patients who have become HIV-infected while on PrEP. There have been no studies conducted to determine whether using tenofovir in pre-exposure prophylaxis affects treatment outcomes in patients who later use tenofovir, which is part of the first line ART of South Africa. This study aims to determine whether prophylactic exposure to tenofovir gel alters the therapeutic response to a tenofovir containing antiretroviral regimen.

Description: Patients will undergo a neuropsychological test battery where multiple standardized test will be undertaken to assess 7 different domains; Verbal Fluency, Executive Functioning, Speed of Information Processing, Learning, Memory, Attention/Working Memory, Motor skills. Raw scores can be calculated per domain and as a composite score. Differences in mean changes in composite score between baseline and end of study will be assessed with a paired T-test. A p-value <0.05 will be considered statistically significant. Within-arm changes will be assessed using Wilcoxon signed rank tests, and between-group comparisons will be evaluated with Wilcoxon rank sum tests. Multivariate analyses will be performed to analyse differences in the primary endpoints between the study groups.
Measure: To evaluate the neurocognitive performance as measured by neuropsychological test composite score after 12 weeks in stable HIV-infected patients switched from Atripla to Eviplera compared to a control group of patients on Atripla. Time: 12 weeksDescription: The aim is to investigate if there is a correlation between improvement on neuropsychological test scores after 12 weeks of Eviplera therapy, and changes on fMRI after 12 weeks of Eviplera therapy. If there is a correlation, that means fMRI could be used to evaluate neurocognitive decline. Basically, we will asses if there is a correlation between ∆neuropsychological score and ∆fMRI-score. Because this is ordinal data, we will use a Spearman rank-order correlation to calculate a correlation-coefficient.
Measure: to assess the correlation between neurocognitive improvement (neuropsychological evaluation) and functional imaging (fMRI) after switching Atripla to Eviplera Time: 12 weeksDescription: The aim is if an improvement in neuropsychological test scores after 12 weeks of Eviplera therapy is correlated with an improvement of quality of life. Basically, we will assess if there is a correlation between ∆neuropsychological score and ∆SF-36 total score. Because this is ordinal data, we will use a Spearman rank-order correlation to calculate a correlation-coefficient.
Measure: to evaluate correlation between neurocognitive performance and health related quality of life measured by SF-36 total score after switching from Atripla to Eviplera. Time: 12 weeksDescription: With this study, we want to investigate the effect of switching Efavirenz (as a component of Atripla) to Rilpivirine (as a component of Eviplera) on neurocognition. Our hypothesis is that neurocognition (as measured by neuropsychological testing scores) will improve when switching from Efavirenz (as a component of Atripla). If that is the case, hypothetically a lower or higher drug level of Efavirenz (as a component of Atripla) could have an effect on neurocognition (as measured by neuropsychological test scores). We will assess the correlation between drug level of Efavirenz or Rilpivirine and changes in neurocognitive function as measured by neuropsychological testing, and fMRI changes by regression analyses using drug levels as an independent variable and neuropsychological test scores as a dependent variable.
Measure: to assess drug levels of Efavirenz (as a component of Atripla) and Rilpivirin (as a component of Eviplera) in relation to changes in neurocognitive performance and fMRI in both patient groups. Time: 12 weeksDescription: In our study, we will use the PROMIS instruments Anxiety, Depression, Sleep disturbance and Satisfaction with social roles and activities. These are all short forms containing 8 questions or statements. Patients are asked to rate the questions from 1-5 into which extent they believe them to be true; 1 being not at all and 5 being very much. For each short form, a score will be calculated by adding the values of the response to each question. PROMIS provides a score conversion table where the score can be translated into a T-score. This rescales the patient's score into a standardized score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. In order to provide these results, PROMIS uses a calibration sample containing data from over 21000 respondents. Differences in mean changes between baseline and end of study, as well as between the two study groups will be calculated using a paired T-test.
Measure: to evaluate the usefulness of PROMIS instruments in HIV research Time: 12 weeksBackground: HIV attacks the immune system. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a combination of drugs used for treating HIV infection. For some people, ART drugs stop working against their HIV. Researchers want to see if a different form of the drug tenofovir (an ART drug currently approved by the FDA), combined with another drug, may help people whose HIV is resistant to ART. This combination pill is called F/TAF Objective: To study the safety and efficacy of the drug F/TAF, when used with other ART, for people whose HIV infection has been hard to control with available medicines. Eligibility: People age 14 years and older who have HIV infection and are enrolled in the DOTCOM (14-I-0009) protocol. Design: Participants will be screened with physical exam, medical history, and blood and urine tests. Participants will stay in the hospital for at least 10 days. For the first 9 days, they will take F/TAF by mouth along with their usual ART drugs. In the hospital, they will repeat the screening tests. Participants will have a DEXA scan, an x-ray that measures calcium and other minerals in the bones. Participants will lie on a soft table while the scanner passes over the lower spine and hips. Participants will get a supply of F/TAF and some new ART drugs to take at home. Participants will have follow-up visits in 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. After the 12-week visit, they will come back about every 3 months for about 1 year. At these visits, participants will repeat the screening tests. They will discuss any problems taking their ART drugs. They may have another DEXA scan.

The fixed dose combination of tenofovir, lamivudine and dolutegravir offers significant advantage as a potential second-line regimen compared to the World Health Organization standard of care second-line regimen of zidovudine, lamivudine and dolutegravir, in terms of cost, tolerability and monitoring requirements. The ARTIST study will be a randomised, open-label, active-controlled trial with 48 weeks of follow up, and will evaluate the viral load suppression achieved by participants taking the fixed dose combination of tenofovir, lamivudine and dolutegravir or zidovudine, lamivudine and dolutegravir as second-line therapy. There is evidence to suggest that even in the presence of resistance mutations to tenofovir and lamivudine (K65R or M184V/I), using this backbone with dolutegravir will provide an effective second-line regimen in patients who have failed a first line regimen that includes a tenofovir and lamivudine or emtricitabine backbone and a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). The trial will comprise two stages: the first will evaluate the viral suppression in 65 participants produced by the fixed dose combination of tenofovir, lamivudine and dolutegravir with a supplementary dose of dolutegravir for the first 14 days to mitigate the NNRTI effect in reducing dolutegravir concentrations when switching antiretrovirals. The study will progress to the second stage if this proves effective, and 130 participants will then be randomised to receive the fixed dose combination of tenofovir, lamivudine and dolutegravir (without a supplementary dose of dolutegravir) or the WHO standard of care second-line regimen of zidovudine, lamivudine and dolutegravir. The primary endpoint is viral suppression (viral load<50 copies/mL) at 24 weeks. A Pharmacokinetic sub-study will be conducted on 12 participants in stage 1 and in 12 patients in stage 2 who are randomised to the intervention arm, to assess the trough concentrations of dolutegravir and off-treatment concentrations of efavirenz at day 3, 7, 14, and 28. This is to evaluate the need for the lead in supplementary dose of dolutegravir.
There is evidence to suggest that even in the presence of resistance mutations to tenofovir and lamivudine (K65R or M184V/I), using this backbone with dolutegravir will provide an effective second-line regimen in patients who have failed a first line regimen that includes a tenofovir and lamivudine or emtricitabine backbone and a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). --- K65R ---
