Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABC/3TC combined with ATV/RTV in antiretroviral-naïve subjects.
Methods: This was an open-label, prospective study evaluating ATV/RTV 300 mg/100 mg +ABC/3TC (600 mg/300 mg) given once daily (QD) in subjects with entry HIV RNA >5,000 c/mL. Toxicity switches were permitted for ABC hypersensitivity and complications from hyperbilirubinemia. Lipoprotein subclasses were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to determine particle concentration and size.
Results: 112 subjects were enrolled, of whom 111 were treated. Median baseline (BL) characteristics were: HIV RNA 5.06 log10 c/mL (56% ³ 100,000 c/mL), CD4+ 207 cells/mm3 (47% <200 cells/mm3), fasting cholesterol 165 mg/dL, fasting triglycerides 120 mg/dL. 16 subjects (14%) prematurely discontinued study: lost to follow-up (5), consent withdrawal (5), adverse event (3), protocol violation (1), non-compliance (1), and virologic failure (1). At week 48, by ITT M=F analysis, 77% (85/111) achieved HIV RNA <50 c/mL and 79% (88/111) achieved HIV RNA <400 c/mL; by ITT observed analysis, 90% (85/94) and 94% (88/94) had HIV RNA <50 and <400 c/mL, respectively. Median CD4+ increase from BL was 188 cells/mm3. No primary PI mutations were observed in 4 subjects who met confirmed protocol-defined virologic non-response, and in 6 subjects who had detectable viral load at the last study visit. Median fasting lipids at 48 weeks (% change from BL) were 174 mg/dL (+40%) for triglycerides, 198 mg/dL (+18%) for cholesterol, 46 mg/dL (+40%) for HDL, and 115 mg/dL (+9%) for LDL. Median LDL particle size did not vary from BL to week 48.
Conclusions: The ABC/3TC+ATV/RTV QD regimen demonstrated a high rate of virologic suppression through 48 weeks. Further study is underway to determine if stopping RTV after virologic suppression can reverse the mild hyperlipidemia observed.
