Tipranavir (Aptivus) is a selective nonpeptidic HIV-1 protease inhibitor (PI) that is used in the treatment of treatment-experienced adults with HIV-1 infection. Tipranavir is administered orally twice daily and must be given in combination with low-dose ritonavir, which is used to boost its bioavailability.The durable efficacy of tipranavir, in combination with low-dose ritonavir (tipranavir/ritonavir 500 mg/200 mg twice daily), has been demonstrated in well designed trials in treatment-experienced adults infected with multidrug-resistant strains of HIV-1. In treatment-experienced adults with HIV-1 infection receiving an optimized background regimen, viral suppression was greater and immunological responses were better with regimens containing tipranavir/ritonavir than with comparator ritonavir-boosted PI-containing regimens. The efficacy benefit appeared to be more marked in patients receiving two fully active drugs in the regimen, with the combination of tipranavir/ritonavir and enfuvirtide (for the first time) appearing to be the most successful. Although tipranavir is generally well tolerated, clinical hepatitis and hepatic decompensation, and intracranial haemorrhage have been associated with the drug. Tipranavir also has a complex drug-interaction profile. Thus, tipranavir, administered with ritonavir, is an effective treatment option for use in the combination therapy of adults with HIV-1 infection who have been previously treated with other antiretroviral drugs.

The objective of this study was to characterize the mutations selected by darunavir (DRV) use in protease inhibitor (PI)-experienced patients and the associated factors. We analyzed treatment failure in 54 PI-experienced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on a DRV- and ritonavir-containing regimen. Viral genotyping was carried out at the baseline, at between 1 and 3 months of treatment, and at between 3 and 6 months of treatment to search for the selection of mutations conferring resistance to PIs. The median baseline HIV RNA level was 4.9 log(10) copies/ml, and the median CD4 count was 87 cells/mm(3). At the baseline, the median numbers of resistance mutations were as follows: 3 DRV resistance mutations, 4 major PI resistance mutations, and 10 minor PI resistance mutations. The most common mutations that emerged at rebound included V32I (44%), I54M/L (24%), L33F (25%), I84V (21%), and L89V (12%). Multivariate analysis showed that higher baseline HIV RNA levels and smaller numbers of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor simultaneously used with DRV were associated with a higher risk of DRV resistance mutation selection. By contrast, L76V, a known DRV resistance mutation, was found to decrease the risk of selection of another DRV resistance mutation. The occurrence of virological failure while a patient was on DRV was associated with the selection of mutations that increased the level of DRV resistance without affecting susceptibility to tipranavir (TPV). In these PI-treated patients who displayed treatment failure while they were on a DRV-containing regimen, we confirmed the set of emerging mutations associated with DRV failure and identified the factors associated with the selection of these mutations. TPV susceptibility does not seem to be affected by the selection of a DRV resistance mutation.

BACKGROUND: Tipranavir (TPV) and darunavir (DRV) are potent against protease inhibitor (PI)-resistant viruses. Efficacy of these compounds when confronting distinct HIV subtypes is not known. METHODS: All clinical specimens from HIV-positive patients sent to our institution for drug resistance testing between 1999 and 2006 were analysed. The prevalence of TPV and DRV resistance mutations was assessed based on the latest International AIDS Society-USA panel list. Phenotypic susceptibility to DRV and TPV was examined in a subset of these samples using the PhenoSense assay. RESULTS: A total of 1364 genotypes were analysed, including 1178 from individuals infected with clade B (285 drug naive) and 186 with non-B subtypes (137 drug naive). The mean number (+/-SD) of DRV resistance-associated mutations was higher in clade B than non-B (0.4 +/- 0.9 versus 0.06 +/- 0.3; P < 0.001), and more frequent among PI-experienced than drug-naive patients (0.6 +/- 1.02 versus 0.02 +/- 0.21; P < 0.001). In contrast, the mean number of TPV resistance-associated mutations was higher in non-B than B subtypes (2.7 +/- 1 versus 1.2 +/- 1.6; P < 0.001), regardless of PI experience. Susceptibility to TPV and DRV was examined in 29 drug-naive patients infected with non-B subtypes (1A, 3C, 2CRF01_AE, 9CRF02_AG, 1CRF12_BF, 3CRF14_BG, 3F and 7G). All showed susceptibility to DRV and 93% to TPV. Interestingly, two subtype F specimens showed reduced TPV susceptibility, with fold-changes of 2.7 and 2.1, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Non-B subtypes show a greater number of TPV resistance-associated mutations than B viruses, regardless of PI exposure. While HIV clade has no influence on DRV susceptibility, some F subtypes may show reduced TPV susceptibility.

BACKGROUND: We assessed the association of baseline HIV-1 mutations, phenotypic sensitivity and pharmacokinetics with virological failure (VF) at week 12 (W12) after onset of a darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r)-based regimen in a cohort of 67 antiretroviral-experienced HIV-patients failing on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). METHODS: VF was defined as HIV RNA >2.3 log10copies/ml at W12. HIV reverse transcriptase and protease sequencing was performed at WO; mutations with a P-value <0.25 in univariable analyses were used for a backward selection to find the best mutation set for VF prediction. Genotypic and phenotypic sensitivity scores were calculated and virtual phenotype predicted fold change (FC) assessed. DRV Cmin, Cmax, AUC(0-->12 h) and genotypic inhibitory quotient (GIQ) were determined. RESULTS: Patients had a median of 15 previous treatments for 10 years. Median W0 values included a T-cell count of 129 cells/microl, 4.7 log10 HIV RNA copies/ml, four major protease and six nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor resistance mutations. At W12, median HIV RNA decrease was -2.1 log10 copies/ml with a gain of +67 CD4+ T-cells/microl; 40% of patients failed. We determined the genotypic score I13V+V32I+L33F/I/V+E35D+ M361/L/V+I47V+F53L+I62V. According to <4, 4-5 and >5 mutations, failure occurred in 11%, 48% and 100% of patients. Failure was associated with CDC stage, baseline CD4+ T-cell count, number of major protease inhibitor resistance mutations, FC and DRV/r score. Pharmacokinetics were not associated with failure, but GIQ was. CONCLUSION: At W12, 60% of heavily pretreated patients responded on DRV/r-based HAART. Genotypic and phenotypic information constituted the main virological response determinant in patients with optimal drug concentrations.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the virological response to darunavir-based salvage antiretroviral therapy and the darunavir genotypic and virtual inhibitory quotients (gIQ and vIQ, respectively). Thirty-seven HIV-infected patients failing protease inhibitor-based antiretroviral regimens who started salvage therapy containing darunavir-ritonavir were prospectively studied. The primary outcome of the study was a viral load (VL) of <50 copies/ml at week 48. The trough concentrations of darunavir in plasma, the number of darunavir resistance mutations, the change in the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) of darunavir in the virtual phenotype, and the darunavir gIQ and vIQ were correlated with the virological outcome in regression analyses adjusted by the number of active drugs in the background regimen. The VL was <50 copies/ml in 56.8% of patients at week 48. Changes in the VL were not significantly associated with the darunavir concentration (P = 0.304), the number of darunavir resistance mutations (P = 0.695), or the change in the IC(50) (P = 0.750). However, patients with darunavir vIQs of >or=1.5 had a 12-fold greater chance of achieving a >or=1 log(10) reduction in the VL (odds ratio [OR], 12.7; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.9 to 81.6; P = 0.007), and a 5-fold greater chance of achieving a VL of <50 copies/ml (OR, 5.4; 95% CI, 1.2 to 24.5; P = 0.028), at week 48 than patients with darunavir vIQs of <1.5. The positive and negative predictive values of this darunavir vIQ cutoff for achieving a VL of <50 copies/ml at week 48 were 70% and 69%, respectively. The darunavir vIQ predicts virological response to darunavir-based salvage therapy better than the darunavir trough concentration or resistance mutations alone. We suggest targeting a darunavir vIQ of 1.5 for achieving long-term viral suppression.

The resistance profile of darunavir (TMC114) in treatment‐experienced patients was explored using pooled week 24 data from POWER 1, 2, and 3 at the recommended dose of darunavir with low‐dose ritonavir (darunavir/r, 600/100 mg bid, N = 458). Baseline darunavir fold change in EC(50) was a strong predictor of virological response at week 24. Preliminary phenotypic clinical cut‐offs of 10 and 40 were established. Virological response to darunavir/r was maintained in the presence at baseline of a high number of IAS‐USA PI resistance‐associated mutations (IAS‐USA PI RAMS); a diminished response occurred with >or=14. Eleven protease mutations associated with diminished darunavir/r virological response were identified (V11I, V32I, L33F, I47V, I50V, I54L/M, G73S, L76V, I84V, and L89V). These darunavir resistance‐associated mutations (DRV RAMS) occurred in the presence of a high number of IAS‐USA PI RAMS. Virological response was diminished with three or more DRV RAMS in the background of a high number of IAS‐USA PI RAMS. Incremental numbers of DRV RAMS were more predictive of outcome than were IAS‐USA PI RAMS. Mutations developing during darunavir/r virological failure (V32I, L33F, I47V, I54L, and L89V) were also featured in the DRV RAMS list. Site‐directed mutants carrying these five mutations, or any one of these mutations either alone or together with one or two IAS‐USA PI RAMS, showed no reduced darunavir susceptibility, suggesting that a high number of additional background mutations is required for darunavir resistance. In this population of treatment‐experienced patients, darunavir/r demonstrated significantly greater efficacy than investigator‐selected control PIs of trials POWER 1 and 2, regardless of baseline viral genotype or phenotype, while exhibiting a high genetic barrier to the development of resistance.

The high incidence of cross-resistance between human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors (PIs) limits their sequential use. This necessitates the development of PIs with a high genetic barrier and a broad spectrum of activity against PI-resistant HIV, such as tipranavir and darunavir (TMC114). We performed a surface plasmon resonance-based kinetic study to investigate the impact of PI resistance-associated mutations on the protease binding of five PIs used clinically: amprenavir, atazanavir, darunavir, lopinavir, and tipranavir. With wild-type protease, the binding affinity of darunavir was more than 100-fold higher than with the other PIs, due to a very slow dissociation rate. Consequently, the dissociative half-life of darunavir was much higher (>240 h) than that of the other PIs, including darunavir's structural analogue amprenavir. The influence of protease mutations on the binding kinetics was tested with five multidrug-resistant (MDR) proteases derived from clinical isolates harboring 10 to 14 PI resistance-associated mutations with a decreased susceptibility to various PIs. In general, all PIs bound to the MDR proteases with lower binding affinities, caused mainly by a faster dissociation rate. For amprenavir, atazanavir, lopinavir, and tipranavir, the decrease in affinity with MDR proteases resulted in reduced antiviral activity. For darunavir, however, a nearly 1,000-fold decrease in binding affinity did not translate into a weaker antiviral activity; a further decrease in affinity was required for the reduced antiviral effect. These observations provide a mechanistic explanation for darunavir's potent antiviral activity and high genetic barrier to the development of resistance.

This open‐label, randomized, crossover study investigated the bioavailability, short‐term safety, and tolerability of darunavir (TMC114) coadministered with low‐dose ritonavir under fasted conditions and after different meal types in HIV‐negative healthy volunteers. All volunteers received ritonavir 100 mg twice daily on days 1 to 5, with a single darunavir 400‐mg tablet given on day 3 (darunavir/rtv). Pharmacokinetic parameters for darunavir and ritonavir were determined under fasted conditions and following a standard breakfast, a high‐fat breakfast, a nutritional protein‐rich drink, or a croissant with coffee. Administration of darunavir/rtv in a fasting state resulted in a decrease in darunavir C(max) and AUC(last) of approximately 30% compared with administration after a standard meal. No significant differences in darunavir plasma concentrations were observed between different fed states. Darunavir/rtv should therefore be administered with food, but exposure to darunavir is not affected by the type of meal.
