Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a Phase 2b/3, multi-center, two part study, designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of PRO 140 in conjunction with existing ART (failing regimen) for one week and Optimized Background Therapy (OBT) for 24 weeks respectively. Study population includes treatment-experienced HIV-infected patients with CCR5-tropic virus who demonstrates evidence of HIV-1 replication despite ongoing antiretroviral therapy with documented genotypic or phenotypic resistance to ART drugs within three drug classes (or within two or more drug classes with limited treatment options).The options may be limited as a result of drug antiviral class cross-resistance or documented treatment intolerance.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRO 140, in combination with other antiretroviral agents, is indicated for treatment experienced adult HIV-1 patients infected with CCR5-tropic virus. These patients must demonstrate evidence of HIV-1 replication despite ongoing antiretroviral therapy and have documented genotypic or phenotypic resistance to at least one ART drug within three drug classes (or within two or more drug classes with limited treatment option). The options may be limited as a result of drug antiviral class cross-resistance, documented treatment intolerance, documented objective assessments such as renal or hepatic insufficiency (e.g. high creatinine at baseline, limiting treatment options due to potential for toxicity), past adverse reactions such as hypersensitivity reactions or neuropsychiatric issues that could limit use of currently approved drugs.

Study population includes treatment-experienced HIV-infected patients with CCR5-tropic virus who demonstrates evidence of HIV-1 replication despite ongoing antiretroviral therapy with documented genotypic or phenotypic resistance to ART drugs within three drug classes (or within two drug classes with limited treatment option).

Enrollment will be stratified to have HIV-1 virus resistant to ART drugs within three drug classes or within two drug classes with limited treatment option.

The primary objective is to assess the efficacy, clinical safety and tolerability parameters of PRO 140 compared to placebo in reducing HIV-1 viral load during the 1-week double-blind treatment period. The secondary objectives of the trial are to assess the efficacy, clinical safety and tolerability parameters of PRO 140 in combination with Optimized Background Therapy during the 24-week single-arm, open-label treatment period.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PRO 140

PRO140 350mg weekly SC Inj. + existing ART for one week. After one week, all subjects will enter the 24-week single-arm, open-label treatment period. During this period, all subjects will receive PRO 140 SC injection and Optimized Background Therapy.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

PRO 140

Intervention Type DRUG

PRO 140 is a humanized IgG4,κ monoclonal antibody (mAb) to the chemokine receptor CCR5.

Optimized Background Regimen

Intervention Type DRUG

Optimized background therapy (OBT) is chosen on the basis of a subject's resistance test results and treatment history.

Placebo

Placebo weekly SC Inj. + existing ART for one week. After one week, all subjects will enter the 24-week single-arm, open-label treatment period. During this period, all subjects will receive PRO 140 SC injection and Optimized Background Therapy.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Males and females, age ≥ 18 years
2. Exclusive CCR5-tropic virus at Screening Visit
3. Have a history of at least 3 months on current antiretroviral regimen
4. Treatment-experienced HIV-infected patients with documented genotypic or phenotypic resistance to at least one ART drug within three drug classes

OR

Treatment-experienced HIV-infected patients with documented genotypic or phenotypic resistance to at least one ART drug within two drug classes and have limited treatment options. The options may be limited as a result of drug antiretroviral class cross-resistance or documented treatment intolerance.
5. Be willing to remain on treatment without any changes or additions to the OBT regimen, except for toxicity management or upon meeting criteria for treatment failure.
6. Plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥ 400 copies/mL at Screening Visit and documented detectable viral load (HIV-1 RNA \>50 copies/ml) within the last 3 months prior to Screening Visit.
7. Laboratory values at Screening of:

* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 750/mm3
* Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 10.5 gm/dL (male) or ≥ 9.5 gm/dL (female)
* Platelets ≥ 75,000 /mm3
* Serum alanine transaminase (SGPT/ALT) \< 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
* Serum aspartate transaminase (SGOT/AST) \< 5 x ULN
* Bilirubin (total) \< 2.5 x ULN unless Gilbert's disease is present or subject is receiving atazanavir in the absence of other evidence of significant liver disease
* Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN
