2) Target Population
a) HIV-1 infected (clades B or C) subjects meeting the following criteria at the screening visit (within 30 days of enrollment):
i) Plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥ 5,000 copies/mL (may be repeated for confirmation)
ii) Antiretroviral treatment naive (defined as <1 week of ARV treatment) or ART-experienced (protease inhibitor and/or maturation inhibitor naive)
iii) Subjects are not eligible for HIV-1 treatment based on the United States Department of Health and Human Services Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents or have declined initiation of cART
iv) CD4+ lymphocyte measurement ≥ 200 cells/μL (may be repeated for confirmation)
v) In Parts A and B, all subjects are infected with clade B HIV-1 virus
vi) In Part C, all subjects are infected with clade C HIV-1 virus
b) Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18.0 to 35.0 kg/m2, inclusive. BMI = weight (kg)/m2
c) Subject Re-enrollment: This study permits the re-enrollment of a subject that has discontinued the study as a pre-treatment failure (ie, subject has not been randomized / has not been treated). If re-enrolled, the subject must be reconsented and re-numbered.
3) Age and Reproductive Status
a) Men and women, ages 18-55 years, inclusive for Parts A and C
b) Men, ages 18-55 years, inclusive for Part B
c) In Parts A and C, women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use method(s) of contraception based on the tables in Appendix 1. Because BMS-955176 may be a selective developmental toxicant and a potential teratogen, subjects must agree to the use of two methods of contraception, one method being highly effective and the other method being highly effective or less effective as defined in Appendix 1. The individual methods of contraception and duration should be determined in consultation with the investigator. WOCBP must follow instructions for birth control when the half life of the investigational drug is greater than 24 hours, contraception should be continued for a period of 30 days plus the time required for the investigational drug to undergo five half lives (a total of 38 days post the last dose). In addition, WOCBP must follow the methods of contraception at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose and during the treatment.
d) In Parts A and C, women must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG) within 24 hours prior to the start of investigational product.
e) In Parts A and C, women must not be breastfeeding
f) Men who are sexually active with WOCBP must use two methods of contraception, one method being highly effective and the other method being highly effective or less effective (listed in Appendix 1). The investigator shall review contraception methods and the time period that contraception must be followed. Men that are sexually active with WOCBP must follow instructions for birth control when the half life of the investigational drug is greater than 24 hours, contraception should be continued for a period of 90 days plus the time required for the investigational drug to undergo five half lives (for a total of 98 days post the last dose).
g) Women who are not of childbearing potential (ie, who are postmenopausal or surgically sterile; see Section 3.3.3 for the definition of WOCBP) and azoospermic men do not require contraception. |
