The MONET trial 96 week analysis: darunavir/r monotherapy versus darunavir/r + 2NRTIs, for patients with HIV RNA < 50 copies/mL at baseline Armin Rieger, Denes Banhegyi, Wolfgang Schmidt, Jose Arribas, Andrew Hill, Yvonne Van Delft, Christiane Moecklinghoff Presented at World AIDS Conference, Vienna, Austria, 22nd July 2010 Abstract TBLBB209
MONET - Trial Design • Inclusion: Taking 2 NRTI + either NNRTI or boosted PI at screening (stratified) • HIV RNA <50 copies/mL for at least 6 months, no prior use of darunavir (DRV) • No history of virological failure DRV/r 800/100 mg OD + 2 NRTI (re-optimised at baseline) n = 129 256 subjects DRV/r 800/100 mg OD n = 127 144 weeks Primary Endpoint: failure at week 48 (TLOVR). Per Protocol, Switch = Failure The Week 96 analysis was a secondary endpoint. Rieger et al. WAC July 2010, Vienna [abstr TBLBB209]
MONET: statistical methods for HIV RNA analysis Main efficacy endpoint: TLOVR, switch equals failure analysis If a patient shows a confirmed elevation in HIV RNA >50 copies/mL at two visits, this is a failure, even if the HIV RNA is then suppressed <50 copies/mL at Week 96.Stopping DRV/r in either arm, or adding NRTIs in the monotherapy arm is also a failure. Missing data is failure. Secondary endpoint: Switch included analysis This analysis only includes the HIV RNA levels at Week 96. If HIV RNA is re-suppressed at Week 96 following an earlier elevation, this is counted as success. Changes in treatment are permitted. Missing data is failure. All results were consistent between the ITT and Per Protocol populations. ITT analysis is shown here. Rieger et al. WAC July 2010, Vienna [abstr TBLBB209]

MONET trial: one patient in each treatment arm with genotypic PI mutations during the trial DRV/r + 2NRTI Week 24 genotype shows M184V + PI mutations: I54V, V82T, L90M Pre-screening genotype shows M184V + PI mutations: V82I, L90M Week 12 genotype shows DRV RAM: L33F DRV/r mono No pre-screening genotype available Both patient have HIV RNA <50 copies/mL on long-term follow up, with no change in treatment

MONET Week 96: Conclusions • In the primary efficacy analysis at Week 96, rates of double HIV RNA blips and discontinuations were slightly higher in the DRV/r monotherapy arm, compared with the DRV/r + 2NRTI arm. • Most elevations in HIV RNA were low level (50-200 copies/mL), and patients were re-suppressed <50 copies/mL at Week 96, either on the original randomised treatment or with intensified treatment. • Non-inferiority was shown in the “Switch Included” analysis. • HCV co-infection and IV drug use were highly correlated with the primary endpoint. • There were no patients with phenotypic resistance to darunavir during the trial – one patient per arm showed at least one genotypic PI mutation.
