E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the trial is to determine the antiviral activity of monotherapy over 7 days following 1 single IM dose of 600 mg TMC278LA in treatment-naïve HIV-1 infected subjects. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives are: - to determine the safety and (local) tolerability of 1 single IM dosing of 600 mg TMC278LA; - to determine the inflammatory parameters (C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and serum amyloid A), and the liver function parameters (alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST], and bilirubin); - to evaluate the CD4 and CD8 cell counts; - to determine the plasma pharmacokinetics of TMC278 in HIV-1-infected subjects following 1 single IM dosing of 600 mg TMC278LA throughout the trial. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria. 1. Male or female subjects, aged 18 to 60 years, extremes included. 2. Documented HIV-1 infection for at least 6 months prior to screening. 3. ICF signed voluntarily before the first trial-related activity. 4. Able to comply with the protocol requirements and having good accessible veins. 5. HIV-1 plasma viral load at screening visit above 5000 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL. 6. CD4 cell count of at least 200 cells/mm3. 7. Subject has not been treated with a therapeutic HIV vaccine within 1 year prior to screening and has never been treated with an ARV drug (including investigational) prior to screening. 8. Subject agrees not to start ARV therapy (ART) before the baseline visit. 9. Subject agrees to start an investigator-selected oral standard-of-care HAART regimen on Day 8 of the trial. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Subjects must not have any of the following characteristics. 1. Any condition (including but not limited to alcohol and drug use), which, in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the subject’s safety and adherence to the protocol. 2. Subjects with any active or chronic hepatic disease. 3. Subject has documented acute HIV-1 infection. 4. Pre-existing ARV drug resistance for NRTIs and NNRTIs (to be determined by the Protocol Virologist) based on genotype testing on HIV-1 virus. The following list of NNRTI RAMs was compiled based on the list of IAS-USA NNRTI RAMs10 and other relevant publications: A098G K103T E138R Y188L F227C L100I V106A V179D G190A M230I K101E V106M V179E G190C M230L K101P V108I Y181C G190E P236L K101Q E138A Y181I G190Q K238N K103H E138G Y181V G190S K238T K103N E138K Y188C G190T Y318F K103S E138Q Y188H P225H 5. Life expectancy of less than 6 months. 6. Subject has any currently active Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) defining illness (Category C conditions according to the Centers for Disease Control [CDC] Classification System for HIV Infection 1993, refer to Addendum 5: HIV-Related Events or Outcomes) with the following exceptions (to be discussed with the Sponsor prior to enrollment): - Stable, cutaneous Kaposi’s Sarcoma (i.e., no pulmonary or gastrointestinal involvement other than oral lesions) that is unlikely to require any form of systemic therapy during the trial period; - Wasting syndrome due to HIV infection if, in the investigator’s opinion, is not actively progressive and its treatment does not require hospitalization or compromise the subject’s safety or compliance to adhere to the trial protocol procedures. If the subject is on maintenance therapy (which may include human growth hormone, appetite stimulants and anabolic steroids) for previously diagnosed wasting, he/she may be eligible for the trial only if such treatment is not included in the list of disallowed medications. Note: Primary or secondary prophylaxis for an AIDS defining illness is allowed in case the medication used is not part of the disallowed medication. 7. Any active clinically significant disease (e.g., pancreatitis, cardiac dysfunction), or findings during screening or medical history or physical examination that, in the investigator’s opinion, would compromise the outcome of the trial. 8. Receipt of any investigational medication or any prophylactic vaccine within 90 days prior to the trial investigational medication administration. 9. Previously demonstrated clinically significant allergy or hypersensitivity (e.g., have a strong family history of rash, or multiple allergies). 10. Vulnerable subjects (e.g., persons kept in detention). 11. Pregnant or breastfeeding female. 12. Non-vasectomized heterosexually active males without the use of effective birth control methods or not willing to continue practicing these birth control methods from screening onwards until the first 30 days after dosing. As of Day 8, the label of HAART should be followed (see Section 5.2.4). 13. Female of childbearing potential without the use of effective birth control methods or not willing to continue practicing these birth control methods from screening onwards until the first 30 days after dosing. As from Day 8, the label of HAART should be followed (see Section 5.2.4). Note: Hormone-based contraception may not be reliable when taking TMC278LA; therefore, to be eligible for this trial, women of childbearing potential should either: - use a double barrier method (at least 2 barrier methods) to prevent pregnancy. Barrier contraceptives include the following methods: a male condom, diaphragm, cervical cap, vaginal sponge, or female condom; or - use an hormonal contraceptive in combination with a barrier contraceptive; or - use an intrauterine device in combination with a barrier contraceptive; or - practice sexual abstinence or have a vasectomized partner. Note: Women who are postmenopausal for at least 2 years, women with total hysterectomy, and women who have been surgically sterilized are considered of non-childbearing potential. 14. Any grade 3 or 4 toxicity according to the Division of AIDS (DAIDS) grading scale (refer to Addendum 2: DAIDS Grading Table), except for: - Grade 3 absolute neutrophil count; - Grade 3 platelets; - Asymptomatic grade 3 pancreatic amylase elevation; - Asymptomatic grade 3 triglyceride/cholesterol/hyperglycemia; - Asymptomatic grade 4 triglyceride elevation. 15. Subject has any evidence of cardiovascular disease or cardiac abnormalities, including risk factors for QTc prolongation. |
