PG - 401-10 AB - BACKGROUND: BI 1182.2, an open-label, randomized, multicenter, phase 2 study, evaluated efficacy and tolerability of the protease inhibitor (PI) tipranavir (TPV; 500 mg twice daily or 1000 mg twice daily) administered with ritonavir (100 mg twice daily) in combination with 1 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and 1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor in multiple PI-experienced HIV-1-infected patients. METHODS: Forty-one patients were evaluated in 2 arms: low-dose (19 patients) or high-dose (22 patients) ritonavir-boosted tipranavir (TPV/r). Primary endpoints were change from baseline in HIV-1 RNA concentrations at weeks 16, 24, 48, and 80 and percentage of patients with plasma HIV-1 RNA levels lower than the limit of quantitation. Safety was evaluated by adverse events (AEs), grade 3/4 abnormalities, and serious AEs. RESULTS: Of all patients, 59% were still receiving TPV/r (14 in low-dose arm and 10 in high-dose arm) at week 80. Patients in both arms had a median >2.0-log10 reduction in plasma viral load. Intent-to-treat analysis demonstrated that a similar proportion of patients in the high-dose and low-dose groups achieved plasma HIV-1 RNA levels <50 copies/mL at week 80 (43% vs. 32%; P = 0.527). The most frequently observed AEs were diarrhea, headache, and nausea. CONCLUSION: TPV/r combined with other active antiretroviral agents can provide a durable treatment response for highly treatment-experienced patients.
