Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Simplification Study of Unboosted Reyataz With Epzicom (ASSURE) (NCT NCT01102972)

NCT ID: NCT01102972

Last Updated: 2013-11-19

Results Overview

The percentage of PAR with HIV-1 RNA virus \<50 c/mL determined from blood samples drawn at Week 24 was tabulated by treatment arm with stratification by initial antiretroviral treatment. Per TLOVR algorithm, responders were PAR with confirmed viral load \<50 c/mL who had not met any non-responder criterion. Non-responders were PAR who never achieved confirmed HIV RNA \<50 c/mL, prematurely discontinued study or study medication for any reason, had confirmed rebound to at least 50 c/mL, or had an unconfirmed HIV RNA of at least 50 c/mL at the last visit.

Participant Flow

Participants (PAR) were recruited from 44 centers in the United States, including Puerto Rico. ATV, atazanavir; RTV, ritonavir; TDF, tenofovir; FTC, emtricitrabine; QD, once daily; HIV-RNA, human immunodeficiency virus-ribonucleic acid; c, copies; ml, milliliters; ART, antiretroviral; mg, milligrams, ABC/3TC, abacavir sulfate/lamivudine.

HLA-B\*5701-negative PAR receiving an ATV/RTV + TDF/FTC regimen QD who are virologically suppressed (plasma HIV-1 RNA \<75 c/mL) and met all eligibility requirements were randomized 2:1 to receive an ART regimen of ATV 400 mg QD + ABC/3TC 600 mg/300 mg QD (simplification arm) or ATV/RTV 300 mg/100 mg QD + TDF/FTC 300 mg/200 mg QD (continuation arm).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 24

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT)-Exposed Population: all participants exposed to at least one dose of study medication. The primary analysis method was time to loss of virologic response (TLOVR) for the proportion of participants HIV-1 RNA \<50 copies/mL at Week 24.

The percentage of PAR with HIV-1 RNA virus \<50 c/mL determined from blood samples drawn at Week 24 was tabulated by treatment arm with stratification by initial antiretroviral treatment. Per TLOVR algorithm, responders were PAR with confirmed viral load \<50 c/mL who had not met any non-responder criterion. Non-responders were PAR who never achieved confirmed HIV RNA \<50 c/mL, prematurely discontinued study or study medication for any reason, had confirmed rebound to at least 50 c/mL, or had an unconfirmed HIV RNA of at least 50 c/mL at the last visit.

Death and clinical disease progression (as per CDC classification) were assessed from Baseline through Week 48. Disease progression is defined as progression from CDC Class A to B, Class A to C, or from Class B to C. AIDS CDC classifications are: Class A, Asymptomatic/lymphadenopathy/acute HIV; Class B, Symptomatic, not AIDS; Class C, AIDS indicator conditions. The CDC categorization of HIV/AIDS is based on the lowest documented CD4 cell count (Class A, \>=500 cells per microliter \[µl\]; Class B, 200-499 cells/µl; Class C, \<200 cells/µl) and on previously diagnosed HIV-related conditions.

The National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 3.0 is a descriptive terminology that can be utilized for AE reporting. A grading (severity) scale is provided for each AE. Grade refers to the severity of the adverse event (AE). The CTCAE v3.0 displays Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each AE based on this general guideline: Grade 1, mild AE; Grade 2, moderate AE; Grade 3, severe AE; Grade 4, life-threatening or disabling AE; Grade 5, death related to the AE.
