The ALERT Study: A Planned Week 24 Interim Analysis of Once Daily Boosted Fosamprenavir or Atazanavir with Tenofovir/Emtricitabine Kimberly Smith, Winkler Weinberg, Edwin DeJesus, Margaret Fischl, Qiming Liao, Lisa Ross and Tracey Lancaster
Background • IAS Guidelines recently added boosted FPV and ATV + 2 nucs as recommended initial therapy • FPV/r dose in US product label is 1400mg FPV + 200mg RTV once daily for naïve subjects • This study used a reduced FPV/r dose of 1400 mg FPV + 100 mg RTV once daily that has not been previously studied
Objective • To compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of RTV-boosted FPV versus RTV-boosted ATV, both in combination with TDF/FTC
Study Design Randomized (1:1), open-label, 48 week pilot study FPV 1400 mg QD + RTV 100 mg QD + TDF/FTC QD ART-naïve subjects, n=106 ATV 300 mg QD + RTV 100 mg QD + TDF/FTC QD Entry criteria: HIV-1 RNA >1000 c/mL No CD4 cell count restrictions Stratified by entry HIV-1 RNA <100,000 c/mL or 100,000 c/mL Baseline resistance testing was not done prior to entry
Endpoints • Primary • Proportion of patients with plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL at 48 weeks • Secondary • Proportion of patients with plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL at 24 weeks • Proportion of patients with plasma HIV-1 RNA <400 copies/mL at 24 and 48 weeks
Endpoints cont. • Secondary • Change from baseline in CD4 cell counts at 24 and 48 weeks • HIV treatment-emergent resistance patterns • Differences between treatment arms in incidence, type and severity of adverse events
Definition of Virologic Failure • Confirmed plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥400 c/mL at Week 24 or later

Adverse Event Related Study Discontinuations • One pt. DC’d FPV/r due to AE- Grade 3 Rash • One pt. DC’d ATV/r due to SAE- new onset Kaposi’s Sarcoma
Adverse Event Related Study Drug Discontinuations • Two pts.* DC’d TDF/FTC (then switched to individual components of ABC/3TC) due to declining renal function, defined in protocol as: • eGFR change >25% below baseline, or • eGFR <50mL/min (confirmed) *61% of subjects had baseline GFR >50 and <90 mL/min by MDRD
Conclusions • Both arms provided similar rates of virologic suppression and immunologic improvement at Week 24 • Lipid changes were similar • Overall, fewer severe adverse effects occurred with FPV/r than with ATV/r; differences due primarily to bilirubin- associated AEs
