Drugs
ETR, 2 NRTI
	ETR, 2 NRTI
- Switch from a PI-based regimen to a once-daily combination based on ETR maintained undetectable VL during 48 weeks in virologically suppressed HIV-infected patients while lipid profile and patient satisfaction improved significantly
 
Design

Objective
- Primary Endpoint: % HIV RNA < 50 c/mL, on-treatment and ITT, M=F
 - Secondary endpoints: change in CD4, CD8, metabolic parameters (lipids and glucose), safety, patient satisfaction
 
Baseline characteristics and disposition

Virologic and immunologic outcomes at W48

- No difference in CD4 change
 
Metabolic parameters and satisfaction

Safety
- No Grade3-4 clinical adverse events
 - No significant changes in liver enzymes in either group, no Grade 3-4 elevations
