Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

To assess the efficacy of enfuvirtide (Fuzeon) added to HAART compared to treatment with HAART alone in achieving and maintaining viral load suppression.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 4

Detailed Description

This study consisted of two phases. In the Induction phase patients were randomized at

Baseline 1 (BL1) in a 1:2 ratio to receive:
  • I1: HAART or

  • I2: Enfuvirtide (90 mg twice a day) + HAART.

Participants who achieved viral suppression < 50 copies/mL by week 24, confirmed by week 28 or earlier, qualified to enter the Maintenance Phase which started at Baseline 2 (BL2), four weeks after confirmation of response. The Maintenance Phase consisted of three treatment groups:

  • M1: HAART continued (patients from I1)
Patients on ENF+HAART (I2) were re-randomized (at a 1:1 ratio) at BL2 to:
  • M2: Enfuvirtide stopped and HAART continued

  • M3: Enfuvirtide + HAART continued.

The duration of the Maintenance Phase was from BL2 up to 48 weeks after BL1. BL2 could start at the earliest at Week 12 and at the latest Week 32.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants With Viral Suppression: HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL During the Induction Phase [From Baseline 1 to Week 28]

      Participants whose viral load achieved suppression (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) at Week 24 at the latest, confirmed at Week 28 (2 consecutive assessments ≥ 28 days apart) were defined as responders. Patients who discontinued the study or did not respond to assigned treatment by week 28 were considered as non-responders.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Time to Achieving HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL During the Induction Phase [Baseline 1 until Week 28.]

      The time to achieving HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL was counted from Baseline 1 until the first of the two consecutive <50 copies/mL measurements. Patients who discontinued from the study or patients who did not have confirmed virological response by week 28 were classed as non-responders and censored at Week 24.

    2. Number of Participants With Viral Suppression HIV-1 RNA < 400 Copies/mL During the Induction Phase [From Baseline 1 to Week 28]

      Participants whose viral load achieved suppression (HIV-1 RNA < 400 copies/mL) by Week 24 at the latest, confirmed at Week 28 (2 consecutive assessments ≥ 28 days apart) were defined as responders. Patients who discontinued the study or did not respond to assigned treatment by Week 28 were considered as non-responders.

    3. Change From Baseline to Week 24 in Viral Load [Baseline and Week 24]

      Change from Baseline in log10 HIV-1 RNA at Week 24. Least squares means were calculated from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment, a flag variable "removed ENF at re-randomization" and Baseline viral load as independent variables.

    4. Change From Baseline to Week 24 in Cluster Differentiation Antigen Four Positive (CD4+) Cell Counts [Baseline and Week 24]

      Change from Baseline in CD4+ Cell Counts at Week 24. Least squares means were calculated from an ANCOVA model with treatment as an independent variable.

    5. Percentage of Induction Phase Participants With Viral Load < 50 Copies/mL at 48 Weeks [Week 48]

      The percentage of participants from the Induction Phase who maintained HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 48. Patients who discontinued from the study, rebounded to ≥ 50 copies/mL (i.e., had two consecutive readings ≥ 50 copies/mL), had missing data or had virological failure by Week 48 were classed as non-responders.

    6. Percentage of Maintenance Phase Participants With Viral Load < 50 Copies/mL at 48 Weeks [Week 48]

      The percentage of participants from the Maintenance Phase who maintained HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 48. Patients who discontinued from the study, rebounded to ≥ 50 copies/mL (i.e., had two consecutive readings ≥ 50 copies/mL), had missing data or had virological failure by Week 48 were classed as non-responders.

    7. Change From Baseline to Week 48 in Cluster Differentiation Antigen Four Positive (CD4) Cell Counts [Baseline 1 and Week 48]

      Change from Baseline in CD4 Cell Counts at Week 48. Least squares means were calculated from an ANCOVA model with treatment and baseline CD4 count as independent variables.

    8. Time to Loss of Viral Response During the Maintenance Phase [From Baseline 2 to Week 48.]

      The time to loss of viral response (defined as HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL) was counted from Baseline 2 until the first of two consecutive ≥50 copies/mL measurements. Only patients who were qualified for entering the Maintenance Phase were included in the analysis.

    9. Time to Virological Failure During the Maintenance Phase [From Baseline 2 to Week 48.]

      Time to virological failure (defined as HIV-1 RNA ≥ 400 copies/mL) was counted from Baseline 2 until the first of the two consecutive ≥400 copies/mL measurements. Only patients who were qualified for entering the Maintenance Phase were included in the analyses.

    10. Number of Participants With Virological Failure During the Maintenance Phase [From Baseline 2 to Week 48.]

      Virological failure was defined by 2 consecutive HIV-1 RNA values ≥ 400 copies/mL during the Maintenance Phase.

    11. Percentage of Participants Maintaining CD4+ Count During the Maintenance Phase [Baseline 2 to Week 48.]

      Maintenance of CD4+ count defined as having greater than or equal to 200 cells/mm^3 at Baseline 2 (BL2) and greater than or equal to 200 cells/mm^3 at Week 48.

    12. Percentage of Participants With Improvement in CD4+ Count During the Maintenance Phase [Baseline 2 to Week 48.]

      Improvement of CD4+ count defined as having from 100 to less than 200 CD4+ cells/mm^3 at Baseline 2 (BL2) and greater than or equal to 200 cells/mm^3 at Week 48.

    13. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) During the Induction Phase [Start of the study treatment until the end of the Induction Phase (Week 12 to Week 32)]

      A serious AE (SAE) is an event which: results in death, is life-threatening, disabling or incapacitating; is a congenital anomaly in the offspring of a patient who received study drug; requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization; jeopardizes the patient or require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes above; any Grade 4 laboratory value considered by the investigator clinically significant or that requires an action; any injection site reaction that meets SAE criteria above. Non-serious AEs reported include pneumonia and non-serious AEs that led to discontinuation.

    Arm/Group Description Participants received enfuvirtide 90 mg subcutaneously twice a day in combination with highly active antiretroviral treatment during the Induction and Maintenance Phase for up to 48 weeks of treatment. Participants received highly active antiretroviral treatment during the Induction and Maintenance Phase for up to 48 weeks of treatment.

    Title Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) During the Induction Phase
    Description A serious AE (SAE) is an event which: results in death, is life-threatening, disabling or incapacitating; is a congenital anomaly in the offspring of a patient who received study drug; requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization; jeopardizes the patient or require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes above; any Grade 4 laboratory value considered by the investigator clinically significant or that requires an action; any injection site reaction that meets SAE criteria above. Non-serious AEs reported include pneumonia and non-serious AEs that led to discontinuation.
    Time Frame Start of the study treatment until the end of the Induction Phase (Week 12 to Week 32)

During the Induction Phase participants received highly active antiretroviral treatment for a maximum of 32 weeks. During the Maintenance Phase, participants who had received ENF+HAART and who responded to treatment during the Induction Phase continued to receive enfuvirtide 90 mg subcutaneously twice a day in combination with highly active antiretroviral treatment for up to 48 weeks of total treatment. During the Maintenance Phase, participants who had received ENF+HAART and who responded to treatment during the Induction Phase continued to receive HAART alone during the Maintenance Phase, for up to a total of 48 weeks treatment.
