Brief summary

This 48 week, phase 2b study in 150 HIV-1 infected antiretroviral therapy experienced adult subjects consists of a dose-ranging evaluation of GSK2248761 at blinded doses of 100 mg and 200 mg once daily with a control arm of open-label etravirine (ETV) 200 mg twice daily. The background ART for all three arms will be darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r) 600 mg/100 mg twice daily plus raltegravir (RAL) 400 mg twice daily. Antiviral activity, safety, PK, and development of viral resistance will be evaluated.

Detailed description

Study SGN113399 is a Phase 2b randomized, partially-blinded, multicenter, parallel-group, dose-ranging study to be conducted in HIV-1 infected ART-experienced adults with documented NNRTI resistance. A minimum of 150 subjects will be randomized 1:1:1 to one of two GSK2248761 doses or a control regimen containing ETV (50 subjects per group); all subjects will also receive darunavir/ritonavir and raltegravir. The trial will be partially blinded, i.e. subjects receiving GSK2248761 and the investigators will be blinded to the dose they receive. Subjects will not be blinded to whether they receive GSK2248761 or ETV. Randomization will be stratified by: * HIV-1 VL at screening, \<50,000 copies/mL or \>/50,000 copies/mL, and * Darunavir susceptibility (screening phenotype fold change \<7 or \>/7 to 20) Background ART will be administered open-label. The primary endpoint analysis will take place after all subjects have completed Week 16. An optimal dose of GSK2248761 will be determined by the Week 16 analysis; this dose selection will be confirmed using an analysis from all subjects following completion of Week 24. If there is a clear efficacy, safety or tolerability advantage driving dose selection for GSK2248761, then all subjects receiving the non-selected dose of GSK2248761 will be switched to the selected dose following dose confirmation, after all subjects have completed Week 24. If no differentiation of dose can be made based on objective measures of efficacy, safety or tolerability, then both doses will be continued through Week 48. After Week 48, all subjects will be expected to obtain local access to all commercially available ART. No regimen switches of either background ART (DRV/r and RAL) or test agent or control (GSK2248761 and ETV) are allowed during the 48 week period of the study. Study Endpoints/Assessments Subjects will have assessments performed which will include baseline demographics, disease characteristics, pharmacogenetics (PGx) and safety (laboratory and clinical evaluations). On study safety, efficacy, virologic, immunologic, and PK evaluations will also be conducted. The primary endpoint will be the proportion of subjects with HIV-1 RNA \<50copies/mL at Week 16. Dose selection will be based primarily on antiviral activity and tolerability in conjunction with immunologic, safety, virologic resistance and PK measures. Data from the Week 24 analysis will be used to confirm dose selection.

Division of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) toxicity scale for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events Version 1.0 was used for grading i.e. Grade 3=severe and Grade 4=potentially life threatening. Categories with values have been presented. No toxicity-related dose reductions of IP was allowed. IP and background antiretroviral therapy (ART) was restarted as soon as medically appropriate; in general, this was no longer than 14\] days after discontinuation (unless Grade 3 or 4 toxicities persisted).
Number of Participants With Abnormal Hematology Laboratory Data With Grade 3 or 4 TE ToxicitiesUp to follow-up i.e. 2-4 weeks after the last study visit (due to early termination the last visit was on 19 July 2011)A toxicity was considered to be TE if it was greater than the Baseline grade, and if it had developed or increased post-Baseline in intensity (and prior to the last dose of IP). The hematology parameters included hemoglobin, total neutrophils, and white blood cells (WBC) count. Categories with values has been presented. Grade 3=severe and Grade 4=potentially life threatening. No toxicity-related dose reductions of IP was allowed. IP and background ART was restarted as soon as medically appropriate; in general, this was no longer than 14\] days after discontinuation (unless Grade 3 or 4 toxicities persisted).
Change From Baseline in Plasma HIV-1 RNA Prior to Switch of GSK2248761Baseline (Day 1) and Week 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16A switch was defined as any ART substitution or addition in the participant's ART regimen. Any ART switch permitted per protocol that was determined necessary and documented prior to the first on-treatment visit where HIV-1 RNA was assessed could occur without penalty. However, any participants with an ART switch not permitted per protocol or ART switch permitted per protocol with a viral load \>=50 copies/mL at the time of the decision to switch was made was counted as a non-responder from that point onward for all assessment windows without a viral load measurement collected prior to the switch. Change from Baseline was calculated as (observed value - Baseline value). Baseline was Day 1. The unit is log10 copies per milliliter (log10 copies/mL).

However, any participants with an ART switch not permitted per protocol or ART switch permitted per protocol with a viral load \>=50 copies/mL at the time of the decision to switch was made was counted as a non-responder from that point onward for all assessment windows without a viral load measurement collected prior to the switch. Change from Baseline was calculated as (observed value - Baseline value ). Baseline was Day 1.
Number of Participants Who Experienced Disease Progression (HIV-associated Conditions, AIDS and Death)Up to follow-up i.e. 2-4 weeks after the last study visit (due to early termination the last visit was on 19 July 2011)Clinical DP was defined as progression from Baseline HIV disease status:Category A at Baseline to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) category B event, category A at Baseline to CDC category C event, category B at Baseline to CDC category C event, category C at Baseline to new CDC category C event or category A, B or C at Baseline to death. Category A consisted of one or more of the conditions like asymptomatic HIV infection, persistent generalized lymphadenopathy and acute (primary) HIV infection with accompanying illness in an adolescent or adult(\>13 years) with documented HIV infection. Category B consisted like Bacillary angiomatosis, Candidiasis, oropharyngeal (thrush), Candidiasis, vulvovaginal; persistent, frequent, oral, Herpes zoster etc. Category C included clinical conditions listed like Candidiasis of bronchi, trachea, or lungs, Candidiasis, esophageal, Cervical cancer, Coccidioidomycosis, disseminated or extrapulmonary etc in AIDS surveillance case definition.
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Up to follow-up i.e. 2-4 weeks after the last study visit (due to early termination the last visit was on 19 July 2011)An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that occurred during the course of the trial after study treatment had started. An adverse event was therefore any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, are life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or results in disability/incapacity, and congenital anomaly/birth defect.

Change From Baseline in Plasma HIV-1 RNA After Switch of GSK2248761

A switch was defined as any ART substitution or addition in the participant's ART regimen. Any ART switch permitted per protocol that was determined necessary and documented prior to the first on-treatment visit where HIV-1 RNA was assessed could occur without penalty. However, any participants with an ART switch not permitted per protocol or ART switch permitted per protocol with a viral load \>=50 copies/mL at the time of the decision to switch was made was counted as a non-responder from that point onward for all assessment windows without a viral load measurement collected prior to the switch. Change from Baseline was calculated as (observed value - Baseline value ). Baseline was Day 1.

Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and post switch Week 1, 2, 4, withdrawal and follow-up Week 4, 8, 12

Population: ITT-E. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed.

Number of Participants With Abnormal Clinical Chemistry Laboratory Data With Grade 3 or 4 Treatment-Emergent (TE) Toxicities

A toxicity was considered to be TE if it was greater than the Baseline grade, and if it had developed or increased post-Baseline in intensity (and prior to the last dose of IP). Division of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) toxicity scale for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events Version 1.0 was used for grading i.e. Grade 3=severe and Grade 4=potentially life threatening. Categories with values have been presented. No toxicity-related dose reductions of IP was allowed. IP and background antiretroviral therapy (ART) was restarted as soon as medically appropriate; in general, this was no longer than 14\] days after discontinuation (unless Grade 3 or 4 toxicities persisted).
