ETR Safety and Tolerability: DUET Trials (TMC 125 -C 206/C 216)
Design and Major Inclusion Criteria Screening 6 weeks 48 -week treatment period with optional 48 -week extension Follow up 4 weeks 24 -week primary analysis 600 patients target per trial TMC 125 + BR* Placebo + BR* *BR = darunavir/ritonavir with optimized NRTIs and optional enfuvirtide l l l DUET-1 and -2 differed only in geographical location; pooled analysis was pre-specified Major inclusion criteria: – Plasma viral load >5, 000 HIV-1 RNA copies/m. L and stable therapy for ≥ 8 weeks – ≥ 1 NNRTI RAM*, at screening or in documented historical genotype – ≥ 3 primary PI mutations at screening Patients recruited from Thailand, Australia, Europe and the Americas *From extended list of 41 NNRTI RAMs (Tambuyzer et al.

Safety conclusions l Safety and tolerability of ETR were generally comparable to placebo, except for the incidence of rash (any type) l Overall, most AEs were of low severity and infrequently led to discontinuation l Rash, the only AE to occur more frequently with ETR – generally mild-to-moderate – most often resolved with continuing treatment – infrequently led to discontinuation l Nature and incidence of nervous system and psychiatric AEs were similar to placebo l ETR was not associated with any increase in laboratory abnormalities, including hepatic and lipid parameters
Safety in Pediatric population • Phase I trial in children (6 -17 years)
TMC 125 -C 126 Trial Design 40 treatment experienced children on a Stable ARV & Virologically suppressed Group 1 6 to 12 years Screening up to 28 days Stage I 20 subjects (10/Group) Dose: 4 mg/kg b. i. d Group 2 12 to 17 years Treatment Phase 7 days Interim analysis Follow-up 1 month Stage II 20 subjects (10/Group) Dose: 5. 2 mg/kg b. i. d Stable ARV: LPV/rtv and a minimum of 2 NRTIs +/- ENF
Most Common AEs TMC 125 -C 126 AE regardless of causality*, N ( %) Infections and infestations Rhinitis Stage II N=21 4 (19. 0) 2 (9. 5) N=21 3 (14. 3) 2 (9. 5) Nervous system disorders 3 (14. 3) Headache 3 (14. 3) --------------------------------Gastrointestinal disorders Diarrhoea Nausea 2 (9. 5) 0 1 (4. 8) 2 (9. 5) 1 (4. 8) Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders Rash 2 (9. 5) 1 (4. 8) 0 Rash maculopapular 1(4. 8) 0 * 10. 0% in TMC 125 group
