Study summary

The purpose of this trial is to assess the non-inferior antiviral activity of GSK1349572 50 mg once daily versus RAL 400mg twice daily over 48 weeks; non-inferiority will also be tested at Week 96. Both GSK1349572 and RAL will be given in combination with fixed-dose dual NRTI therapy (ABC/3TC or TDF/FTC). This study will be conducted in HIV-1 infected ART-naïve adult subjects.

Read the detailed description

ING113086 is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, double dummy, active-controlled, multicenter, study conducted in approximately 788 HIV-1 infected ART-naïve subjects. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 one of the following treatment arms:

  1. GSK1349572 50 mg once daily (approximately 394 subjects) + fixed-dose dual NRTI therapy (either ABC/3TC or TDF/FTC)

    OR

  2. 400 mg RAL twice daily (approximately 394 subjects) + fixed-dose dual NRTI therapy (either ABC/3TC or TDF/FTC)

Analyses will be conducted at 48 weeks and 96 weeks. Subjects randomized to receive GSK1349572 and who successfully complete 96 weeks of treatment will continue to have access to GSK1349572 through the study until either it is locally available, as long as they continue to derive clinical benefit.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) [HIV-1RNA] <50 Copies (c)/Milliliter (mL) Through Week 48

    Percentage of participants with plasma Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) with \<50 c/mL was assessed using the Missing, Switch or Discontinuation = Failure (MSDF), as codified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) snapshot algorithm. The algorithm treats all participants without HIV-1 RNA data as non-responders, as well as participants who switch their concomitant Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) prior to Week 48 as follows: background ART substitutions not permitted per study; background ART substitutions permitted per study unless the decision to switch was documented as being before or at the first on-treatment visit where HIV-1 RNA was assessed. Otherwise, virologic success or failure will be determined by the last available HIV-1 RNA assessment while the subject was on-treatment. Intent-to-Treat Exposed (ITT-E) Population comprised all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication.

AUC(0-tau) is defined as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time tau over a dosing interval at steady state, where tau is the length of the dosing interval of DTG. The predicted individual AUC(0-tau) were obtained from the final population PK model by an empirical Bayes estimation. Blood samples for PK assessments were collected at pre-dose (within 15 minutes prior to dose) at Week 4, Week 24, and Week 48 and 1 to 3 hours post-dose or 4 to 12 hours post-dose at Week 4 and Week 24. If 1 to 3 hours post-dose was completed at Week 4, then the 4 to12 hour post-dose must be obtained at Week 48, and vice versa. The Pharmacokinetic (PK) Concentration Population comprised of all participants who received DTG, had undergone PK sampling during the study, and provided evaluable DTG plasma concentration data.

    Time frame: Week 4, Week 24, and Week 48

  11. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) and Concentration at the End of a Dosing Interval (Ctau) of DTG

    The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and concentration at the end of a dosing interval (Ctau) of DTG were assessed at Week 48. The predicted individual Cmax and Ctau were obtained from the final population PK model by simulation of the concentration-time profiles. Blood samples for PK assessments were collected at pre-dose (within 15 minutes prior to dose) at Week 4, Week 24, and Week 48 and 1 to 3 hours post-dose or 4 to 12 hours post-dose at Week 4 and Week 24. If 1 to 3 hour post-dose was completed at Week 4, then the 4 to12 hour post-dose must be obtained at Week 48, and vice versa.

The CD4 count is used to stage the patient's disease, determine the risk of opportunistic illnesses, assess prognosis, and guide decisions about when to start antiretroviral therapy absolute values in CD4+ cell counts over time was assessed at Baseline and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96. Only those participants with data available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=x,x in the category titles).

SecondaryNumber of Participants With the Indicated Post-Baseline HIV-associated Conditions and Progression, Excluding Recurrences

Clinical disease progression (CDP) was assessed according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) HIV-1 classification system. Category (CAT) A: one or more of the following conditions (CON), without any CON listed in Categories B and C: asymptomatic HIV infection, persistent generalized lymphadenopathy, acute (primary) HIV infection with accompanying illness or history of acute HIV infection. CAT B: symptomatic CON that are attributed to HIV infection or are indicative of a defect in cell-mediated immunity; or that are considered by physicians to have a clinical course or to require management that is complicated by HIV infection; and not included among CON listed in clinical CAT C. CAT C: the clinical CON listed in the AIDS surveillance case definition. Indicators of CDP were defined as: CDC CAT A at Baseline to a CDC CAT C event (EV); CDC CAT B at Baseline to a CDC CAT C EV; CDC CAT C at Baseline to a new CDC CAT C EV; or CDC CAT A, B, or C at Baseline to death.

SecondaryNumber of Participants With the Indicated Grade 1 to 4 Clinical Chemistry and Hematology Toxicities/Laboratory Adverse Events (AEs)

All Grade 1 to 4 post-Baseline-emergent chemistry toxicities included alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), asparate aminotransferase (AST), carbon dioxide (CO2) content/bicarbonate, cholesterol, creatine kinase (CK), creatinine, hyperglycemia, hyperkalemia, hypernatremia, hypoglycemia, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol calculation, lipase, phosphorus inorganic, total bilirubin, and triglycerides. All Grade 1 to 4 post-Baseline-emergent hematology toxities included hemoglobin, platelet count, total neutrophils, and white blood cell count. The Division of AIDS (DAIDS) defined toxicity grades as follows: Grade 1, mild; Grade 2, moderate; Grade 3, severe; Grade 4, potentially life threatening; Grade 5, death. Safety Population: all participants who received at least one dose of investigational product

SecondaryArea Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Time Tau [AUC(0-tau)] of DTG

AUC is defined as the area under the DTG concentration-time curve as a measure of drug exposure over time. AUC(0-tau) is defined as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time tau over a dosing interval at steady state, where tau is the length of the dosing interval of DTG. The predicted individual AUC(0-tau) were obtained from the final population PK model by an empirical Bayes estimation. Blood samples for PK assessments were collected at pre-dose (within 15 minutes prior to dose) at Week 4, Week 24, and Week 48 and 1 to 3 hours post-dose or 4 to 12 hours post-dose at Week 4 and Week 24. If 1 to 3 hours post-dose was completed at Week 4, then the 4 to12 hour post-dose must be obtained at Week 48, and vice versa. The Pharmacokinetic (PK) Concentration Population comprised of all participants who received DTG, had undergone PK sampling during the study, and provided evaluable DTG plasma concentration data.

SecondaryMaximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) and Concentration at the End of a Dosing Interval (Ctau) of DTG

The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and concentration at the end of a dosing interval (Ctau) of DTG were assessed at Week 48. The predicted individual Cmax and Ctau were obtained from the final population PK model by simulation of the concentration-time profiles. Blood samples for PK assessments were collected at pre-dose (within 15 minutes prior to dose) at Week 4, Week 24, and Week 48 and 1 to 3 hours post-dose or 4 to 12 hours post-dose at Week 4 and Week 24. If 1 to 3 hour post-dose was completed at Week 4, then the 4 to12 hour post-dose must be obtained at Week 48, and vice versa.
