  • Virologic response rates (mITT and observed) and immunologic responses were similar across the fostemsavir and ATV/r arms through Week 48
  • All fostemsavir doses were generally well tolerated with no dose-response safety signals reported
  • Continuation dose of fostemsavir 1200 mg QD for the Phase IIb study
  • Phase III study in heavily treatment-experienced patients with limited therapeutic options
    • Phase III dose : 600 mg BID
    • Subjects enrolled regardless of baseline susceptibility to temsavir
    • A retrospective analysis will be conducted to determine whether a baseline phenotypic assay is necessary in the future

Design :

  • Phase IIb , randomised, active-controlled, bl inded -to-fostemsavir dose
  • ARV-experienced patients, > 18 years, HIV RNA > 1,000 c/ mL , CD4 cell count > 50/mm3
  • Susceptibility to RAL, TDF and ATV
  • Temsavir IC 50 < 0.1 μM (100 nM ) by screening Phenosense ® entry assay

Objective :

  • Primary endpoints (W24) :
    • % HIV-1 RNA < 50 c/ mL
    • % of SAEs and AEs leading to discontinuation
  • Secondary endpoints (W48) :
    • %HIV-1 RNA < 50 c/ mL
    • Change in CD4 T- cell count from baseline
    • % SAEs and AEs leading to discontinuation

Baseline characteristics and patient disposition
