Antiretroviral Chemotherapy I


1 A RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED TRIAL OF LAMIVUDINE (3TC) IN COMBINATION WITH ZIDOVUDINE (ZDV), STAVUDINE (D4T), OR DIDANOSINE (DDI) IN TREATMENT NAÏVE PATIENTS
Conf Retroviruses Opportunistic Infect 1998 Feb 1-5; 5th:79 (abstract no. 1)
DR Kuritzkes, IC Marschner, VA Johnson, RL Bassett, JJ Eron, MA Fischl, GJ Boone, J Skovronski, K Wood, DL Bell, CB Pettinelli, JP Sommadossi
299 antiretroviral-naïve subjects with HIV-1 infection and CD4 counts of 200-600 cells/mm3 were randomized to either a d4T or ddI limb and then randomized in a blinded fashion to one of three arms within each limb (d4T limb: d4T alone, d4T/3TC, or ZDV/3TC; ddI limb: ddI alone, ddI/3TC, or ZDV/3TC).
2 COMBINATION ZIDOVUDINE (ZDV) AND STAVUDINE (D4T) THERAPY VERSUS OTHER NUCLEOSIDES: REPORT OF TWO RANDOMIZED TRIALS (ACTG 290 AND 298)
Conf Retroviruses Opportunistic Infect 1998 Feb 1-5; 5th:79 (abstract no. 2)
DV Havlir, G Friedland, R Pollard, C Tierney, L Smeaton, L Fox, DD Richman and the ACTG 290/298 Teams
These data suggest a) ZDV/d4T does not have more potent antiviral effect than d4T alone, probably due to pharmacologic antagonism. ZDV/d4T is associated with CD4 cell decline in ZDV experienced patients. ZDV/d4T therefore should not be used in combination; b) ddI produces greater viral suppression than d4T in ZDV experienced patients; c) ZDV/ddI was not associated with virologic activity discernable from ddI in ZDV experienced patients.
3 IMPAIRMENT OF STAVUDINE (d4T) PHOSPHORYLATION IN PATIENTS RECEIVING A COMBINATION OF ZIDOVUDINE (ZDV) AND d4T (ACTG 290)
Conf Retroviruses Opportunistic Infect 1998 Feb 1-5; 5th:79 (abstract no. 3)
JP Sommadossi, XJ Zhou, J Moore, DV Havlir, G Friedland, C Tierney, L Smeaton, F Fox, D Richman, R Pollard R
In one patient who received the d4T/ZDV comb for 42 weeks and subsequently a d4T monotherapy for 8 weeks, no d4T-TP was detected at 2, 4 and 6 weeks following ZDV discontinuation. These data suggest that in patients receiving a comb of ZDV/d4T, the intracellular phosphorylation of d4T to d4T-TP is hampered and this negative effect may be prolonged for several weeks after discontinuation of ZDV treatment.
4 ANTIRETROVIRAL EFFECTS OF THERAPY COMBINING ABACAVIR (1592) WITH HIV PROTEASE INHIBITORS (PIS)
Conf Retroviruses Opportunistic Infect 1998 Feb 1-5; 5th:79 (abstract no. 4)
Mellors J, Lederman M, Haas D, Horton J, Haubrich R, Stanford J, Cooney E, McMahon D, Spreen W, Smiley M, Kelleher D
Abacavir (300 mg, ql2h) in dual combination with 5 different PIs was well tolerated and demonstrated potent antiretroviral activity.

6 PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF 141W94 IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER PROTEASE INHIBITORS

Eron J, Haubrich R, Richman D, Lang W, Tisdale M, Myers R, Pagano G, Rogers M
During the initial 4 weeks of this study, the combinations were generally well tolerated and had significant antiviral activity. Continued investigation of these combinations is ongoing.
7 IN VITRO AND IN VIVO ACTIVITY OF ANTI-RETROVIRAL COMPOUNDS ATTACKING NC ZINC FINGERS
Conf Retroviruses Opportunistic Infect 1998 Feb 1-5; 5th:80 (abstract no. 7)
Henderson LE, Chertova E, Ott D, Hewes SM, Cases-Finet JR, Kane B, Johnson DG, Sowder II RC, Rossio J, Lifson J, Arthur LO
These results show that at least one compound has been identified which has an enhanced reactivity with the target NC protein, inactivates whole virus (SIV, HIV-1 and MuLV), react selectively with the whole viral NC protein, is non-toxic, can be taken orally and reduces viral replication in the MuLV/mouse model and in the SIV/monkey model. These results strongly support the suggestion that the reactivity of the NC protein CCHC ZFs can be exploited to develop a new class of anti-retroviral compounds that may find therapeutic applications.
8 AVANTI 3. A RANDOMISED, DOUBLE BLIND, COMPARATIVE TRIAL TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY, SAFETY AND TOLERANCE OF AZT/3TC VS AZT/3TC/NELFINAVIR IN ANTI-RETROVIRAL NAÏVE PATIENTS.
Conf Retroviruses Opportunistic Infect 1998 Feb 1-5; 5th:80 (abstract no. 8)
Clumeck N
Both treatment groups demonstrated improvement in viral load over the 28 week period and AUCMB analysis demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in viral load over same timeframe for AZT/3TC/nelfinavir as compared to AZT/3TC. Further data on CD4 and safety will also be presented.

9a IMPROVED SURVIVAL TIME AFTER DIAGNOSIS WITH AIDS AMONG ADULTS IN NEW YORK CITY (NYC), 1980-1994

Survival time improved consistently with each successive time period of diagnosis and across all groups assessed.

Chiasson MA, Berenson L, Li W, Schwartz S, Singh T, Forlenza S, Mojica B
The dramatic decline in AIDS deaths first observed in NYC in 1996 continued through the 1st half of 1997 in all demographic groups. This occurred at a time when new antiretroviral therapy became widely available.
10 THE EFFECTS OF ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY AND OPPORTUNISTIC ILLNESS PRIMARY CHEMOPROPHYLAXIS ON SURVIVAL AFTER AIDS.

McNaghten AD, Hanson DL, Jones JL, Ward JW, Dworkin MS
The risk of death is 2.5 times lower for persons receiving triple ART than persons receiving monotherapy. These results provide early indication of the beneficial effects of protease inhibitors on survival in an observational study. Additionally, we found that PCP and MAC prophylaxis and pneumococcal vaccination have positive effects on survival.

These data demonstrate the benefits of PI therapy in minimizing VL in the general population of HIV-infected persons. However, 53% of persons reported with HIV/AIDS in 1997 on these areas had not received VL testing; and of those who had, 42% had not received ARV therapy despite advanced HIV disease.
