چکیده
The safety and antiviral activity of lopinavir (Lpv), a protease inhibitor (PI) coformulated with ritonavir (Rtv) to enhance its pharmacokinetic properties, were evaluated in 70 patients with plasma human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA levels of 1000-100,000 copies/mL on a first PI-containing regimen. Patients were randomized to substitute only the PI with Lpv/Rtv, 400/100 mg or 400/200 mg twice daily. On day 15, nevirapine (200 mg 2x/day) was added, and nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors were changed. Despite a >4-fold reduction in phenotypic susceptibility to the preentry PI in 63% of patients, mean plasma HIV-1 RNA levels declined by 1.14 log(10) copies/mL after 2 weeks of Lpv/Rtv. At week 48, 86% of subjects receiving treatment had plasma HIV-1 RNA levels of <400 copies/mL; 76% had levels <50 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL (intent-to-treat: 70% and 60%, respectively). Mean CD4 cell counts increased by 125 cells/muL. Three patients discontinued therapy for drug-related adverse events.

Analysis of the virological response with respect to baseline viral phenotype and genotype in protease inhibitor-experienced HIV-1-infected patients receiving lopinavir/ritonavir therapy.
The virological response of multiple protease inhibitor-experienced, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-naive, HIV-1-infected subjects was examined with respect to baseline viral phenotype and genotype through 72 weeks of therapy with lopinavir/ritonavir plus efavirenz and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (Study M98-957). Using a 'dropouts as censored' analysis, plasma HI...
متن کاملImprovement of mitochondrial toxicity in patients receiving a nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor-sparing strategy: results from the Multicenter Study with Nevirapine and Kaletra (MULTINEKA).
BACKGROUND Nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI)-related mitochondrial toxicity has been suggested as a key factor in the induction of antiretroviral-related lipoatrophy. This study aimed to evaluate in vivo the effects of NRTI withdrawal on mitochondrial parameters and body fat distribution. METHODS A multicenter, prospective, randomized trial assessed the efficacy and tolerabili...
متن کاملRole of etravirine in the management of treatment-experienced patients with human immunodeficiency virus type 1
Etravirine is an oral diarylpyrimidine compound, a second-generation human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) with expanded antiviral activity against NNRTI-resistant HIV-1, to be used in combination therapy for treatment-experienced patients. Compared with first-generation NNRTIs, etravirine has a high genetic barrier to resistance, and...

Twenty human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients experiencing virologic failure of an indinavir- or ritonavir-containing treatment regimen were evaluated in a prospective, open-label study. Subjects received nelfinavir, saquinavir, abacavir, and either another nucleoside analog (n=10) or nevirapine (n=10). Patients treated with the nevirapine-containing regimen experienced significantly gr...

Brecanavir, a novel tyrosyl-based arylsulfonamide, high-affinity, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitor (PI), has been evaluated for anti-HIV activity in several in vitro assays. Preclinical assessment of brecanavir indicated that this compound potently inhibited HIV-1 in cell culture assays with 50% effective concentrations (EC(50)s) of 0.2 to 0.53 nM and was equally a...
