E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The objectives are: -To evaluate the steady-state pharmacokinetics (based on intensive PK analysis) of RPV 25 mg q.d. or adjusted dose of RPV (q.d.) in subjects aged ≥ 12 to < 18 years and ≥6 to <12 years; -to evaluate short-term (2 weeks) safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity/efficacy of RPV in these age groups. - to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of RPV over a 24-week (Cohort 1 only) and 48-week (Cohorts 1/2) treatment period; - to evaluate immunologic changes 24 and 48 weeks of treatment with RPV; - to assess the evolution of viral genotype and phenotype treatment with RPV; - to evaluate pharmacokinetics and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships for safety and efficacy of RPV; - to evaluate treatment adherence as measured by the Study Adherence Questionnaire for Children and Teenagers; - To evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of RPV for up to 240 weeks of treatment (Cohort 1 only) |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Subject with documented human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection - Subject who meets the following criteria: a) Cohort 1: aged greater than or equal to (≥) 12 to less than (<) 18 years, weight is ≥ 32 kilogram (kg); b) Cohort 2: aged ≥ 6 to < 12 years, weight is ≥ 17 kg - HIV1- plasma viral load at screening ≥ 500 HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) copies/mL but ≤100,000 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL - Subject has, prior to screening, never been treated with a therapeutic HIV vaccine or an HIV drug with the exception of a single dose of nevirapine (NVP) (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2) or up to 6 weeks of zidovudine (AZT) use (Cohort 2) prior to screening to prevent mother-to-child transmission - In the judgment of the investigator, it is appropriate to initiate anti-retroviral therapy (ART) based on the subject's medical condition and taking into account guidelines for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in children of this age group. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Any previous use of ARVs with the exception of single dose NVP (Cohort 1) or up to 6 weeks of AZT (Cohort 2) - Plasma viral load at screening greater than 100,000 HIV1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) copies/mL - Documented genotypic evidence of nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) resistance at screening or from historical data available in the source documents - Use of disallowed concomitant therapy from 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit - Patient has any currently active Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) defining illness - Patient has active tuberculosis and/or is being treated for tuberculosis at screening |
