Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Lopinavir/Ritonavir Tablets Comparing Once-Daily Versus Twice-Daily Administration When Coadministered With Nucleoside/Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors in Antiretroviral-Experienced Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infected Subjects (NCT NCT00358917)

NCT ID: NCT00358917

Last Updated: 2011-04-11

Results Overview

A participant was classified as a responder at the first of 2 consecutive human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels \<50 copies/mL. The participant continued to be a responder until 2 consecutive values \>=50 copies/mL were reached, until the final value if that value was \>=50 copies/mL, or until discontinuation or death.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 48 (End of Study)

Population: Intention to treat analysis of all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug.

A participant was classified as a responder at the first of 2 consecutive human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels \<50 copies/mL. The participant continued to be a responder until 2 consecutive values \>=50 copies/mL were reached, until the final value if that value was \>=50 copies/mL, or until discontinuation or death.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 48 (End of Study)

Population: Dropouts-as-censored: participants were responders if they had HIV-1 RNA \<50 copies/mL at Week 48. Participants who discontinued (d/c'd) while suppressed or w/o post baseline (BL) levels were excluded. Those d/c'd \<Day 85 were excluded unless they had \>=1 post BL level \& didn't achieve a decrease \>=1.0 log10 copies/mL, then they were nonresponders.

Substitutions considered in the analysis were L10F/I/R/V, K20M/N/R, L24I, L33F, M36I, I47V, G48V, I54L/T/V, V82A/C/F/S/T, and I84V as defined in the proposed United States Package Insert.
