  1. Long-Term Clinical and Immunologic Outcomes Are Similar in HIV-Infected Persons Randomized to NNRTI versus PI versus NNRTI+PI-based Antiretroviral Regimens as Initial Therapy:Results of the CPCRA 058 FIRST Study MacArthur RD, Novak RM, Peng G, Chen L, Xiang Y, Huppler Hullsiek K, Kozal MJ, van den Berg-Wolf M, Henely C, Schmetter B, Dehlinger M for the CPCRA 058 Study Team and the Terry Beirn Community Programs for Clinical Research on AIDS

  2. Introduction and Rationale • Long-term data from randomized trials on the consequences of initiating therapy with a protease inhibitor (PI), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), or both (PI + NNRTI) are lacking. • FIRST, ACTG 3841, and INITIO2 all were initiated between 1998-1999 to compare these 3 strategies. • Unlike ACTG 384 and INITIO, FIRST was designed exclusively as a treatment strategy trial, without specifying which antiretroviral regimens were to be used within each strategy. 1Shafer RW et al; N Engl J Med 2003;349:2304-15 2INITIO Trial International Co-ordinating Committee; Lancet 2006;368:287-98

  3. Target Population • ART naïve persons 13 years of age or older planning to start ART and willing to be randomized. • No prior PI or NNRTI treatment; no more than 4 cumulative weeks of prior NRTI treatment and no more than 1 week of prior 3TC treatment.

  4. Design and Follow-up 1,397 Participants Randomized NNRTI Strategy: NNRTI + NRTIs (N=463) 3-class Strategy: PI + NNRTI + NRTI(s) (N=464) PI Strategy: PI + NRTIs (N=470) Median follow-up: 60 months (IQR 52-69 months) Lost to Follow-up: 9.67% (No study visit within 6 months of study closure for surviving participants)

  5. Primary Objectives • To compare the NNRTI and PI strategies for the composite outcome of HIV disease progression to AIDS; death; or CD4+ cell count < 200 cells/mm3* • To compare the 3-class strategy with the pooled results of the two 2-class strategies for difference in CD4+ cell count beginning at 32 months *for those with CD4+ > 200 cells/mm3 at baseline

  6. Statistical Methods • All analyses are intent-to-treat • Primary outcomes are adjusted for clinical unit and baseline CD4+ cell count • NNRTI versus PI comparison: Kaplan-Meier survival curves and proportional hazards regression models • 3-class versus pooled 2-class comparison: longitudinal regression models and analysis of variance

  19. Genotypic Mutations1Detected At Initial Virologic Failure • IAS October 2004 list • 2 Percent is of those with a genotype

  20. Distribution of Specific Mutations At Initial Virologic Failure 1 Percent is of those with a genotype

  21. Comparison of FIRST, INITIO & ACTG 384

  22. Summary: PI versus NNRTI Strategies • The PI and NNRTI strategies do not differ significantly for a composite outcome of CD4+ cell count decline, progression to AIDS, and death. Results are consistent across subgroups. • The NNRTI strategy resulted in better and more sustained virologic suppression compared to the PI strategy (as was found in ACTG 384 and INITIO). • At initial virologic failure the NNRTI strategy resulted in the selection of more class-specific mutations than did the PI strategy.

  23. Summary: 3-class Strategy versus Pooled 2-class Strategies • A 3-class strategy is not superior to 2-class strategies for immunologic and clinical outcomes. • These findings were consistent for all subgroups, including those with CD4+ cell counts < 200 and 200+ and for those with VL < 100,000 and 100,000+ copies/mL. • More patients assigned the 3-class strategy had ART discontinued due to toxicity compared to the 2-class strategies.

  24. Conclusions • The results of FIRST extend and corroborate the findings of ACTG 384 and INITIO. • The difference between the NNRTI strategy and the PI strategy for AIDS/death/CD4 < 200 and AIDS/death is not likely to be large: • AIDS/death/CD4 < 200 95% CI = 0.79 – 1.31 • AIDS/death 95% CI = 0.80 – 1.41 • This finding will be explored further in a planned meta-analysis of the 3 studies. • These results also are consistent with data from the EuroSIDA study1 which showed that for a fixed HIV RNA level/CD4+ cell count, the rate of AIDS or death does not differ based on ART regimen. 1Olsen CH, et al; AIDS 2005;19:319-30

  25. Conclusions Initiation of therapy with either an NNRTI or a PI (ritonavir-boosted or unboosted), but not both together, are good and effective strategies for long-term antiretroviral management in treatment-naïve HIV-infected persons with a wide range of baseline CD4+ cell counts and diverse demographics
