Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ruxolitinib in HIV-positive adults who were virologically suppressed and who were on antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Detailed description

Ruxolitinib is a medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat myelofibrosis, a disorder in which bone marrow is replaced by scar (fibrosis) tissue. Many of the cytokines affected by myelofibrosis are also affected by HIV. Because of this, ruxolitinib may also be a possible treatment for HIV. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ruxolitinib in HIV-positive adults who were on ART and who were virologically suppressed. Researchers evaluated the effect ruxolitinib had on inflammation and immune activation. This study enrolled HIV-positive adults who were on select ART regimens and who had viral suppression. ART was not provided by the study; participants continued to receive ART from their own health care providers. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either ruxolitinib (Arm A) or no study treatment (Arm B) in 2:1 ratio. Participants in Arm A received ruxolitinib twice a day for 5 weeks. All participants attended study visits at entry (Day 0) and Weeks 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 12. These visits included physical examinations, clinical assessments, blood collection, adherence assessments, oral swab collection, and pregnancy testing for female participants. At Weeks 1 and 4, participants in Arm A took part in pharmacokinetic (PK) sampling, which involved having blood drawn several times over 6 to 8 hours.

Percentage of Participants With Detectable CMV SheddingPre-entry, Entry, and Weeks 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 12Level of CMV shedding was summarized by study week and arm as the percentage of those above and below the assay limit of detection. Detectable CMV shedding was defined as CMV level \> 0 copies/ml of elution. The percentage of participants with detectable CMV at any on-treatment time point (ever shedding at weeks 1, 2, 4, or 5) and any post-treatment time point (ever shedding at weeks 10 or 12) was contrasted between study arms.
Ruxolitinib Systemic Clearance (CL/F) From 2-compartment Pharmacokinetic (PK)Week 1 and, Week 4/5; blood samples were drawn pre-dose and at 1-1.5, 2.5-4, 4-6, and 6-8 hours post-dosingRuxolitinib plasma concentrations were fitted to a population 2-compartment distribution model, assuming first-order input, distribution and elimination from the plasma compartment, using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling software. We estimated parameter geometric means and proportional variabilities between subjects (IIV when feasible) and the variability in drug absorption between occasions (IOV week 1 and week 4/5), and related distribution volumes to body weight.

Outcome results

Fold Change in the Level of Plasma Interleukin 6 (IL-6) From Baseline to Week 4/5

All values were log10 transformed prior to calculating change and conducting analyses and back transformed for presentation. Baseline is defined as the geometric mean of the Pre-entry and Entry values. Week 4/5 is defined as the geometric mean of the Week 4 and Week 5 values. Fold change was calculated as the value at Week 4/5 divided by the value at Baseline.

Time frame: Pre-entry, Entry, Weeks 4 and 5

Population: Analysis was done in the as-treated population (had data at baseline and week 4/5; for the Ruxolitinib arm, remained on study treatment through week 4/5 and missed no more than 6 doses cumulatively; did not change ART, use prohibited medications, or have confirmed virologic failure through week 4/5; not found to be ineligible after randomization).

Creatinine

The arithmetic mean for each participant was calculated at week 1 and week 2 combined, week 4 and week 5 combined, and week 10 and week 12 combined.

Time frame: Entry, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 12

Population: Analysis was done in the safety analysis population for participants with available data. The safety analysis population includes all participants randomized to the No Study Treatment arm and all participants who took at least one dose of Ruxolitinib among those randomized to the Ruxolitinib arm.

Relative Risks of HIV-1 RNA by Single Copy Assay (SCA) < 0.4 Copies/mL

HIV-1 RNA was measured via Single Copy Assay Using Primer in Integrase (iSCA), results were reported as below or above the assay limit of detection (LOD) (LOD = 0.4 copies/mL). GEE models for binary data were used to calculate the relative risk of having HIV-1 RNA by iSCA \<0.4 copies/mL (Week 5 compared to Entry, Week 12 compared to Entry, and Week 12 compared to Week 5).

Ruxolitinib Systemic Clearance (CL/F) From 2-compartment Pharmacokinetic (PK)

Ruxolitinib plasma concentrations were fitted to a population 2-compartment distribution model, assuming first-order input, distribution and elimination from the plasma compartment, using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling software. We estimated parameter geometric means and proportional variabilities between subjects (IIV when feasible) and the variability in drug absorption between occasions (IOV week 1 and week 4/5), and related distribution volumes to body weight.

Time frame: Week 1 and, Week 4/5; blood samples were drawn pre-dose and at 1-1.5, 2.5-4, 4-6, and 6-8 hours post-dosing

Population: Analysis was done on participants on the Ruxolitinib arm with intensive pharmacokinetic (PK) results. One participant was not included due to missing samples.
