E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study was as follows:
-To assess the efficacy of tenofovir DF plus a genotype-guided optimized background regimen (OBR) compared to placebo plus OBR in the treatment of HIV-1 infected antiretroviral treatment-experienced adolescents with plasma HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels ≥ 1000 copies/mL through 24 weeks of drug exposure. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of this study are as follows:
- To assess the efficacy of tenofovir DF plus a genotype-guided optimized background regimen (OBR) compared to placebo plus OBR in the treatment of HIV-1 infected antiretroviral treatment-experienced adolescents with plasma HIV-1 RNA levels ≥ 1000 copies/mL through 48 weeks of drug exposure.
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of tenofovir DF plus OBR compared to placebo plus OBR.
- To measure changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in the two treatment arms.
- To evaluate the long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of treatment with tenofovir DF through up to 336 weeks of drug exposure. |

E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Pharmacokinetic Substudy
Patients receiving open-label tenofovir DF at selected sites will participate in a substudy to measure the steady state pharmacokinetics of tenofovir. Patients participating in the open-label extension may also be eligible for the substudy. The substudy will include an intensive PK profile, 4 weeks after starting open-label tenofovir DF. Specimens will be drawn over a period of 12 hours; 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 hours postdosing. |

-Investigational agents (except with the expressed approval of the Sponsor) Administration of any of the above medications must be discontinued at least 30 days prior to the Baseline Visit and for the duration of the study period.
• Any medication that is contraindicated with any antiretroviral within an OBR.
• Pregnant or lactating patients
• Evidence of a gastrointestinal malabsorption syndrome or chronic nausea or vomiting which may confer an inability to receive an orally administered medication
• Current alcohol or substance abuse judged by the investigator to potentially interfere with patient compliance
• Malignancy other than cutaneous Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) or basal cell carcinoma. Patients with biopsy-confirmed cutaneous KS are eligible, but must not have received any systemic therapy for KS within 30 days of baseline and are not anticipated to require systemic therapy during the study
