Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve from Time of Administration up to 24 Hours Postdose (AUC[0-24h]) of Rilpivirine [1] | ||||||||||||||||||||
End point description |
AUC(0-24h) was defined the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time of administration up to 24 hours postdose of rilpivirine. Full analysis set (FAS) included all subjects who had taken at least 1 dose of rilpivirine, regardless of their compliance with the protocol and adherence to the dosing regimen. Here, 'N' (number of subjects analysed) signifies subjects who were evaluable for this endpoint. Here, '99999' signifies that reported data were individual data, hence mean and standard deviation was not evaluable. One subject with body weight <20 kg who was on 12.5 mg rilpivirine did not increase the rilpivirine dose upon increase in body weight to 20.5 kg at Week 24. This subject switched to the 15 mg dose approximately 1 week before the Week 40 visit.

End point description |
Percentage of subjects with a HIV-1 RNA <50 copies per mL and >=50 copies/mL were assessed using FDA snapshot approach which defines a subject's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within a window of time, along with study drug discontinuation status. HIV-1 RNA level <50 copies per mL, was considered as virologic success and >= 50 copies/mL was considered as virological failure as per the snapshot approach.

Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes | |||
Date |
Amendment |
||
24 Apr 2019 |
The purpose of the this amendment was to remove inclusion criteria 5 stating that
subjects needed to be aware of their human immunodeficiency virus-1 diagnosis. |
||
18 Dec 2019 |
The purpose of this amendment was to include that rilpivirine dose selection should be based on the subject’s body weight at baseline. Children with a body weight of <25 kg should be dosed with rilpivirine 15 mg once daily and children with a body weight of greater than or equal to (>=)25 kg should be dosed with rilpivirine 25 mg once daily. |
||
21 Feb 2021 |
The purpose of this amendment was to include an optional intensive pharmacokinetic (PK) substudy at several study sites and to clarify some of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Rilpivirine dose for subjects with a body weight less than (<)20 killograms (kg) was amended from 15 milligrams (mg) to 12.5 mg once daily. |

Interruptions (globally) |
