DIVISION OF ANTIVIRAL DRUG PRODUCTS’ ADVISORY COMMITTEE OCTOBER 3, 2001 TENOFOVIR DF
Advisory Committee Issues • Treatment indication • Nonclinical and clinical assessment of the effects of Tenofovir DF on bone • Analysis of resistance data • Design oftrials for traditional approval
Advisory Committee Issues Proposed treatment indication: VIREADTM , in combination with other antiretroviral agents, is indicated for the treatment of HIV-infected adults. This indication is based on analyses of plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4 counts in two controlled trials of VIREADTM of 24 and 48 weeks duration in treatment experienced adults with evidence of HIV-1 replication despite ongoing antiretroviral therapy. At present, there are no results from controlled trials evaluating the effect of tenofovir on clinical progression of HIV.
Advisory Committee Issues • Treatment indication • Pivotal studies 902 and 907 were conducted in a treatment experienced adult population • on stable ARV therapy for at least 8 weeks • median duration of therapy of ~ 4 - 5 years • mean baseline viral load = 3.4 log10 • mean baseline CD4 counts = 410 cells/mm3 • baseline resistance mutations - NRTI(94%), PI(58%), NNRTI(~40%) • Requesting AC input regarding labeled indication
Advisory Committee Issues • Bone Effects • BMD reductions/osteomalacia were observed in 3 species • Mechanism not fully defined • Clinical trial data limited for BMD • Seeking advice regarding: • implications of nonclinical and clinical bone data • recommendations for additional studies • monitoring plans
Advisory Committee Issues • Virology data • VIREADTM NDA contains more virology data than other NDA • Many analyses evaluating HIV RNA response by baseline phenotype and genotype • Seeking AC comments on: • clinical resistance analyses • inclusion in product labeling
VIREADTM NDA • Submitted in May 2001 • submitted under accelerated approval regulations • for serious and life-threatening conditions • provide meaningful therapeutic benefit over existing therapies • drug has an effect on a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit or on a clinical endpoint other than survival or irreversible morbidity • DAVDP requires 2 adequate and well-controlled trials of 24 weeks duration
Advisory Committee Issues • Traditional approval plans • Continued marketing is subject to the need to confirm findings to establish clinical benefit • DAVDP requires 2 studies of 48 weeks duration to support traditional approval • Study 903 is being conducted in naïve subjects and is fully enrolled • Compares tenofovir DF to stavudine on a background of lamivudine and efavirenz • Seeking AC advice regarding design of second study in pediatric population

NDA Overview • Submission Date: May 1, 2001 • Proposed Dosage: Tenofovir DF 300 mg once daily • Indication Sought: Treatment of HIV infection
NDA Submission:Four Clinical Studies • Supportive: • 901: Phase 2 dose finding (35 days) • 908: Compassionate Use Safety • Principal • 902 and 907: Randomized, Double-blind Placebo Controlled (24 weeks)
Principal Studies: 902 and 907 • Similar Study Designs • Safety and Efficacy of TNV vs PBO when added to stable ARV regimen in treatment experienced patients • Similar baseline characteristics • Differences in baseline HIV RNA • 902: Baseline HIV RNA 400-100,000 copies/mL • 907: Baseline HIV RNA 400-10,000 copies/mL
Primary Efficacy Endpoint • Primary endpoint = Time weighted change in log10 HIV RNA over 24 weeks (DAVG24) • DAVG is an acceptable endpoint for evaluating virologic responses in treatment experienced patients, such as those enrolled in 902 and 907 • Secondary endpoints = Proportion < 400 and 50 copies/mL
Mean Change From Baseline: HIV RNA DAVG24= - 0.61 DAVG24= - 0.58 0 2 4 8 12 16 20 24 WEEKS
Proportion < 400 and < 50 copies/mL Study 902 Study 907 Weeks Weeks
CD4 Response: Study 902 DAVG24= -3.6 DAVG24= -10.5 Weeks 4 8 12 24
CD4 Response: Study 907 DAVG24= +12.6 DAVG24= -10.6 Weeks 4 8 12 16 20 24
Efficacy Summary • Mean viral load reductions similar for 902 and 907 (Mean DAVG 0.5 - 0.6) • < 400 and < 50 copies/mL • numerical differences: 902 • statistically significant differences: 907 • Modest CD4 increases in study 907 • No differences for CD4 in study 902 over 24 weeks
Efficacy Summary (cont.) • Study population in 902 and 907 may not be optimal for observing large increases in CD4, given only one new drug added to stable regimen • Addition of one new agent did not produce substantial increases in CD4 over time • Further evaluations of CD4 in studies with different designs are needed
Clinical Virology • Applicant: HIV RNA response by prospectively defined baseline mutation subgroups • FDA: Exploratory analyses to further investigate HIV RNA response according to presence or absence of specific NRTI mutations • Determine if specific mutations or mutational patterns affected response to tenofovir
Clinical Virology: Limitations of FDA Analyses • Large number of potential comparisons limits ability to test for statistical significance • Limited # of patients for some primary NRTI and multi-drug resistant mutations to determine clinical significance • Given these limitations FDA is soliciting feedback on the types of exploratory analyses conducted and recommendations for labeling
Genotypic Results • HIV RNA response by presence or absence of thymidine analogue mutations (TAMs) • TAMs are defined as • M41L • D67N • K70R • L210W • T215Y/F • K219Q/E/N
HIV RNA Response by Baseline TAMs Mean DAVG24 (N) 67 + -0.53 (79) 67 - -0.62 (143) 70 + -0.71 (67) 70 - -0.54 (155) 219 + -0.60 (57) 219 - -0.58 (165)
HIV RNA Response by Baseline TAMs Mean DAVG24 (N) 215 - -0.80 (116) 215 + -0.35 (106) 210 - -0.70 (176) 210 + -0.17 (46) 41 - -0.78 (141) 41 + -0.26 (81)
Impact of 215 Mutation on HIV RNA Response Mean DAVG24 (N) 41 or 210 -0.25 (82) No 41 or 210 -0.70 (25) -0.80 (116) 215 -
Impact of 41 or 210 Mutation on HIV RNA Response Mean DAVG24 (N) No 41 or 210 -0.79 (139) -0.26 (93) 41 or 210
Other NRTI Mutations and HIV RNA Response • L74V/I affects tenofovir efficacy • DAVG24 = -0.17 (n=18) • Rates similar regardless if 41 or 210 mutation present with 74 (-0.12 to -0.19) • K65R mutation reduces susceptibility to tenofovir in vitro • DAVG24 = 0 (N=6) • More data needed to make any definitive conclusions
Phenotypic Analyses • To determine if tenofovir or other NRTI baseline susceptibility affected response • Baseline TNF susceptibility: • TNF < 4 fold • DAVG24 = -0.61 (n=91) • TNF > 4 fold • DAVG24 = -0.12 (N=9)
Resistance Summary • Genotypic data suggest potential for some cross resistance between tenofovir and specific NRTI mutations or patterns of mutations • However too few patients expressing some primary NRTI or multi-drug resistant NRTI mutations to determine clinical significance • No cross resistance between tenofovir and lamivudine
Resistance Summary • 41 or 210 mutation diminished responses, whereas 67, 70, 215 and 219 did not • Number and types of TAMs affect tenofovir efficacy • Efficacy reduced for > 3 TAMs which include M41L or L210W • K65R and L74V/I mutation may affect tenofovir efficacy • Reduced susceptibility to TNF (> 4 fold) at baseline diminishes tenofovir efficacy
Safety Summary • Treatment with TNF appears to be well tolerated • Most common AEs: asthenia (19%), headache (14%), diarrhea (22%), nausea (20%) and pharyngitis (18%) • GI events greater in TNF group vs PBO • diarrhea (22% vs 17%) • flatulence (6% vs 2%) • nausea (20% vs 15%) • vomiting (12% vs 6%)
