Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the tolerability of Kaletra (lopinavir/ritonavir) in combination with new substances such as integrase inhibitors (INIs), C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) antagonists, and new non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), as there are many reasons (intolerability, complex resistant patterns or even personal reasons) which may result in a change from the daily clinical routine and lead to the use of a newly approved antiretroviral agent in combination with Kaletra.

Detailed description

This study was designed as a non-interventional observational study. Kaletra was prescribed in the usual manner in accordance with the terms of the local market authorization with regards to dose, population and indication as well as local guidelines.

Susceptible indicates full susceptibility of a virus to a certain drug without any limitations in terms of resistance. Partial resistance is indicated if severe limitations in susceptibility have to be expected and the drug can not count for a fully active drug any more. However, these drugs can still be very useful in situations with generally limited options (salvage). Resistant indicates that high level drug resistance has to be expected.

Time frame: Up to Week 144

Population: Participants with an assessment during follow-up; since this was an observational study, resistance testing was performed at the discretion of the treating physician.

Number of Participants With Protease Inhibitor (PI) Resistance at Baseline

Characterization of baseline resistance and development of resistance using the interpretation system HIV-Genotypic Resistance-Algorithm Deutschland (GRADE; available at www.hiv-grade.de. Genotypic interpretation was performed using the HIV-GRADE algorithm updated in December 2015). Susceptible indicates full susceptibility of a virus to a certain drug without any limitations in terms of resistance. Partial resistance is indicated if severe limitations in susceptibility have to be expected and the drug can not count for a fully active drug any more. However, these drugs can still be very useful in situations with generally limited options (salvage). Resistant indicates that high level drug resistance has to be expected.

Time to Virologic Failure

Time to virologic failure was defined by the earliest occurrence of: 1. HIV-1 RNA \> 400 copies/mL confirmed on 2 consecutive occasions after achieving at least 1 HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL, 2. HIV-1 RNA \> 400 copies/mL at the final on-study visit if the participant had previously experienced at least 1 HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL but subsequently did not have HIV-1 RNA \> 400 copies/mL on 2 consecutive occasions, or 3. Day 1 if the participant never achieved HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL during study participation. A participant who prematurely discontinued study drug with HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL was censored from analysis at the time of discontinuation provided that he/she did not previously experience either (a), (b) or (c).
