Therapeutic Goals of ART • Primary goals of ART include: • Reduce HIV-related morbidity and mortality • Improve quality of life • Restore and preserve immunologic function • Maximally and durably suppress viral load • Secondary goal: • Select a safe and effective regimen US DHHS.

Reasons for ART Failure • Causes of treatment failure include: • Patient factors (CD4 nadir, VL, comorbidities, etc) • Suboptimal adherence • Toxicity and intolerance (adverse events) • Pharmacokinetic problems • Drug-drug interactions • Suboptimal drug potency • Development of viral resistance Hugen PWH et al. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr. 2002;30:324-334. US DHHS. Available at: http://aidsinfo.nih.gov/guidelines/adult/AA_040705.pdf Accessed May 11, 2005.

ART and Adherence • “Adherence to antiviral medication is the key determinant in the degree and duration of virologic suppression.” — DHHS, 2004 • Factors affecting nonadherence include: • Complex dosing schedules • Heavy pill burden • Adverse effects • Nonadherence can lead to the development of resistance to ARV medications, which may result in treatment failure and limit future therapeutic options for the management of HIV US DHHS.

Medication-Related Factors and Adherence • Adverse effects (AEs) have been reported with virtually all ARV medications and are among the most common reasons for switching or discontinuation of therapy and for medication nonadherence • “Minor” common side effects may be as important to the patient as major grade 3/4 events • Nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort or cramping, and diarrhea are common reasons why patients stop their medications • Most patients are asymptomatic when treatment is started • Development of even minor symptoms can therefore be distressing Sax PE, Kumar P.

Common Adverse Events Associated with ART • Short-term (acute) • Usually occur within hours or days of beginning treatment • Rash, CNS disturbances, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea • Long-term (chronic) • Lipodystrophy • Diabetes • Hyperlipidemia • Cardiovascular (CV) risk • Life-threatening • Liver failure, renal failure Sax PE, Kumar P. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr. 2004;37:1111-1124.

ART-Related Liver Issues • Severe hepatotoxicity in 5-10% within the first 12 months • Risk increases with treatment duration • Risk factors – hepatitis, alcoholism, NVP or RTV regimens • Most cases resolve within months • Therapy should be stopped if liver enzymes are very elevated or there are symptoms of hepatitis.

PI-Related Liver Issues • For the PIs, onset of hepatotoxicity generally takes weeks or months vs onset of hepatotoxicity with NRTIs, which takes months to years • Clinical manifestations • Generally asymptomatic • Some patients present with anorexia, weight loss, and/or jaundice associated with indirect hyperbilirubinemia US DHHS.

Indirect Bilirubin Elevations With ATV: Mechanism Meaning • Elevated indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin • ATV inhibits UGT-1A1 • Decreased UGT-1A1 activity similar to the effect observed with Gilbert’s syndrome and mechanistically similar to that seen with IDV • No evidence of a hepatotoxic process: Grade 3-4 elevations in total bilirubin were rarely associated with grade 3-4 elevations in ALT/AST • Readily reversible upon discontinuation of ATV • No difference in frequency of bilirubin elevations or virologic suppression in HBV/HCV co-infected patients • <1% discontinuation in clinical trials due to bilirubin increases in studies 034 and 043

Contribution of PI Therapy to Dyslipidemia • Most PIs have demonstrated association with dyslipidemia • Lipid abnormalities associated with PI therapy include: • Hypercholesterolemia • LDL-c • Hypertriglyceridemia • Up to 80% of HIV+ patients on a PI regimen may experience elevated plasma lipid concentrations • Clinical consequences of PI-associated dyslipidemia: • risk of CAD in younger HIV+ patients • Peripheral atherosclerosis • Abnormalities of glucose homeostasis • Pancreatitis • risk long-term CVD Dubé MP et al.

ATV-Related Cardiology Issues • ATV can prolong PR interval • AV conduction abnormalities are asymptomatic and limited to 1º AV block • In clinical trials, 1º AV block was seen in: • 5.9% of ATV-treated patients (n = 920) • 5.2% of LPV/r-treated patients (n = 252) • 10.4% of NFV-treated patients (n = 48) • 3.0% of EFV-treated patients (n = 329) • Use ATV with caution in patients with pre-existing conduction diseases (marked 1º, or 2º or 3º AV block) Reyataz [prescribing information]. Princeton, NJ: Bristol-Myers Squibb Co; 2004.
Drug Interactions • Didanosine (Videx-EC) • No interaction • Famotidine (Pepcid) • Coadministration the AUC and Cmin of ATV • Methadone (Dolophine) • Omeprazole (Prilosec) • Coadministration the AUC and Cmin of ATV • Rifampin (Rifadin) • Coadministration AUC of rifampin; a dosage reduction of rifampin is recommended. • Tenofovir (Viread) • Coadministration the AUC and Cmin of ATV Reyataz [prescribing information]. Princeton, NJ: Bristol-Myers Squibb Co; 2004.
Pregnancy and ART • ATV is a pregnancy category “B” drug in the US • All other FDA-approved ART agents are in category “B”, “C”, or “D” • “B” – No risk to fetus but not studied in pregnant women • “C” – Animal studies show risk to fetus and not studied in pregnant women (benefits must outweigh the risks) • “D” – Human data show no risk, benefit may outweigh risk • Women should not breast feed while on a PI Dore G.

ART and Adherence • Medication adherence is key to obtaining optimal benefit from ART • Recognition of the factors that influence nonadherence, and selection of regimens that can strengthen adherence, are therefore key issues for the long-term success of ART • There is increasing emphasis on choosing patient-friendly regimens to which patients can readily adhere
ATV Tolerability Summary • ATV is safe and generally well tolerated in naïve and experienced patients • ATV and ATV/r are associated with significantly less diarrhea than are other PIs (LPV/r or NFV) • Improved GI tolerability may improve adherence • The most noticeable lab value change seen with ATV is bilirubin • Not associated with hepatotoxicity, even in hepatitis co-infected patients • ATV has demonstrated a distinctly minimal effect on lipid levels in PI-naive and PI-experienced patients
Body Systems Affected by ART • ART can affect a number of different body systems including: • GI • Liver • Bilirubin • Lipids • Heart • Kidney • CNS Not affected by ATV
AEs Have Different Severities • Grades were developed using the following general guidelines: • 0: No adverse event or within normal limits • 1: Mild adverse event • 2: Moderate adverse event • 3: Severe adverse event • 4: Life-threatening or disabling adverse event • 5: Fatal adverse event
What is atazanavir (ATV)? • Protease inhibitor (PI) • Azapeptide • Dosed as 2 capsules daily • Can be boosted with ritonavir 100 mg to enhance the pharmacokinetics Reyataz [package insert]. Princeton, NJ: Bristol-Myers Squibb; 2004.
ATV Pharmacokinetics • Absorption • Rapidly absorbed (Tmax ~2.5 hours) • Food: exposure, intersubject variability • Distribution • Measurable concentrations in CSF and semen • Protein binding ~86% (albumin and 1-AG) • Metabolism • Primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 • Inhibitor of CYP3A4 (Ki ~ 2 M) and UGT 1A1 (not 2B7) • Elimination • Primarily eliminated in bile • Urinary excretion—7% unchanged drug • T½ ~7 hours Reyataz [package insert]. Princeton, NJ: Bristol-Myers Squibb; 2004.
Efficacy of ATV • Treatment-naïve patients • ATV is as effective as EFV in treatment-naïve patients1 • Both regimens are teamed with zidovudine and lamivudine • Treatment-experienced patients • ATV/r is as effective as LPV/r in treatment-experienced patients2 1. Squires K et al. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr. 2004;36:1011-1019. 2. Johnson M et al. AIDS. 2005;19:685-694.
Metabolic Profile of ATV • In naïve patients • No effect on blood lipids or glucose1 • In experienced patients • Reduction in LDL, triglycerides, and total cholesterol/HDL2 1. Squires KE et al. ICAAC 2002; 2. Johnson M et al. AIDS. 2005;19:685-694.
Improved Tolerability with ATV • In naïve patients: • ATV associated with less diarrhea than NFV1 • In experienced patients: • ATV/r associated with less diarrhea than LPV/r2 • Less diarrhea could lead to improved adherence 1. Panteleo G et al. ECCATHI, 2001; 2. Cohen C et a. IAS, 2003
Excellent Resistance Profile • Resistance in naive patients: • Rare (2%) and, if present, always associated with I50L mutation] • I50L mutation does not confer cross-resistance to other PIs Colonno R et al. J Infect Dis. 2004;189:1802-1810.
