Background: TPV is a novel non-peptidic protease inhibitor with activity against multiple-PIMethods: Patients with ≥3 protease mutations at codons 33, 82, 84, and 90 were randomized to: 1) TPV/r (500mg/200mg) control, 2) TPV/SQV/r (500mg/1000mg/200mg), 3) TPV/APV/r (500mg/600mg/200mg) or 4) TPV/LPV/r (500mg/400mg/100mg), all BID. All patients received a preselected investigator-defined optimized background regimen. For the first 2 weeks, all patients received an RTV-boosted single PI regimen. After 2 weeks of treatment, TPV was added to the dual-boosted PI arms. This planned interim analysis focused on primary safety and PK endpoints.
Results: Data was derived from 296 of 315 randomized patients who reached week 4 by the interim report cutoff date. Plasma Cmin in 173 patients were compared at weeks 1 and 2 (single-boosted PI) versus weeks 3 and 4 (dual-boosted PI); AUC and Cmax in 134 patients were compared at weeks 2 and 4. Co-administration of TPV/r and the other PIs was associated with decreases in PK parameters: SQV (AUC ↓70%, Cmax ↓66%, Cmin ↓81%), APV (AUC ↓45%, Cmax ↓40%, Cmin ↓56%), LPV (AUC ↓49%, Cmax ↓43%, Cmin ↓55%). All combinations were well tolerated during the 4-week time period, and the frequency of AEs was similar between all 4 arms at both weeks 2 and 4. The incidence of laboratory abnormalities was also similar in all 4 arms; triglyceride elevations were the most frequent abnormality.
Conclusions: This analysis demonstrates short-term safety of TPV/r alone or with APV, SQV, or LPV. Reductions in plasma PK parameters of SQV, APV, and LPV were observed when co-administered with TPV/r, though the clinical relevance of these reductions is not established.
