No evidence of statistically or clinically significant efficacy in cognition or global function was detected for 2 mg or 8 mg RSG XR as adjunctive therapy to ongoing AChEIs. There was no evidence of an interaction between treatment and APOE status. Safety and tolerability of RSG XR was consistent with the known profile of rosiglitazone.
Background: Long-acting (LA) injectable regimens are a potential therapeutic option in people living with HIV-1. Setting: ATLAS (NCT02951052) and FLAIR (NCT02938520) were 2 randomized, open-label, multicenter, multinational phase 3 studies. Methods: Adult participants with virologic suppression (plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL) were randomized (1:1) to continue with their current antiretroviral regimen (CAR) or switch to the long-acting (LA) regimen of cabotegravir (CAB) and rilpivirine (RPV). In the LA arm, participants initially received oral CAB + RPV once-daily for 4 weeks to assess individual safety and tolerability, before starting monthly injectable therapy. The primary endpoint of this combined analysis was antiviral efficacy at week 48 (FDA Snapshot algorithm: noninferiority margin of 4% for HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL). Safety, tolerability, and confirmed virologic failure (2 consecutive plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥200 copies/mL) were secondary endpoints. Results: The pooled intention-to-treat exposed population included 591 participants in each arm [28% women (sex at birth), 19% aged ≥50 years]. Noninferiority criteria at week 48 were met for the primary (HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL) and key secondary (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL) efficacy endpoints. Seven individuals in each arm (1.2%) developed confirmed virologic failure; 6/7 (LA) and 3/7 (CAR) had resistance-associated mutations. Most LA recipients (83%) experienced injection site reactions, which decreased in incidence over time. Injection site reactions led to the withdrawal of 6 (1%) participants. The serious adverse event rate was 4% in each arm. Conclusion: This combined analysis demonstrates monthly injections of CAB + RPV LA were noninferior to daily oral CAR for maintaining HIV-1 suppression.
Background: ATLAS (NCT02951052), a phase 3, multicenter, open-label study, demonstrated that switching to injectable cabotegravir (CAB) with rilpivirine (RPV) long-acting dosed every 4 weeks was noninferior at week (W) 48 to continuing three-drug daily oral current antiretroviral therapy (CAR). Results from the W 96 analysis are presented. Methods and design: Participants completing W 52 of ATLAS were given the option to withdraw, transition to ATLAS-2M (NCT03299049), or enter an Extension Phase to continue long-acting therapy (Long-acting arm) or switch from CAR to long-acting therapy (Switch arm). Endpoints assessed at W 96 included proportion of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies/ml, incidence of confirmed virologic failure (CVF; two consecutive HIV-1 RNA ≥200 copies/ml), safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and patient-reported outcomes. Results: Most participants completing the Maintenance Phase transitioned to ATLAS-2M (88%, n = 502/572). Overall, 52 participants were included in the W 96 analysis of ATLAS; of these, 100% ( n = 23/23) and 97% ( n = 28/29) in the Long-acting and Switch arms had plasma HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies/ml at W 96, respectively. One participant had plasma HIV-1 RNA 50 copies/ml or higher in the Switch arm (173 copies/ml). No participants met the CVF criterion during the Extension Phase. No new safety signals were identified. All Switch arm participants surveyed preferred long-acting therapy to their previous daily oral regimen (100%, n = 27/27). Conclusion: In this subgroup of ATLAS, 98% ( n = 51/52) of participants at the Extension Phase W 96 analysis maintained virologic suppression with long-acting therapy. Safety, efficacy, and participant preference results support the therapeutic potential of long-acting CAB+RPV treatment for virologically suppressed people living with HIV-1.
GSK239512, at doses up to 80µg/day, improved Episodic Memory in patients with mildto- moderate AD. However, no improvements were observed on Executive Function/Working Memory or other domains of cognition. No changes were observed on any of the clinical measures included as secondary endpoints (including ADAS-Cog) indicating that GSK239512 failed to show benefit in this population. GSK239512 had an acceptable safety and tolerability profile. These findings suggest that H3 antagonists may, at most, have modest and selective effects on cognitive function in patients with mild-to-moderate AD.
Background Cabotegravir (CAB) + rilpivirine (RPV) dosed intramuscularly monthly or every 2 months is a complete long-acting (LA) regimen for the maintenance of HIV-1 virologic suppression. Here, we report the ATLAS-2M study Week 152 results. Methods ATLAS-2M is a Phase 3b, randomized, multicenter study assessing the efficacy and safety of CAB+RPV LA every 8 weeks (Q8W) vs. every 4 weeks (Q4W). Virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL) individuals were randomized to receive CAB+RPV LA Q8W or Q4W. Endpoints included the proportion of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL and <50 copies/mL, incidence of confirmed virologic failure (CVF; two consecutive measurements of ≥200 copies/mL), safety, and tolerability. Results 1045 participants received CAB+RPV LA (Q8W, n=522; Q4W, n=523). CAB+RPV LA Q8W demonstrated noninferior efficacy vs. Q4W dosing, with 2.7% (n=14) and 1.0% (n=5) of participants having HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL, respectively. The adjusted treatment difference in proportions was 1.7% (95% CI 0.1 to 3.3), meeting the pre-specified noninferiority threshold of 4%. At Week 152, 87% of participants maintained HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL (Q8W, 87% [n=456]; Q4W, 86% [n=449]). Overall, 12 (2.3%) participants in the Q8W arm and two (0.4%) participants in the Q4W arm had CVF. Eight and 10 participants with CVF had treatment-emergent resistance-associated mutations to RPV and integrase inhibitors, respectively. Safety profiles were comparable, with no new safety signals observed since Week 48. Conclusions These data demonstrate the durability of virologic suppression with CAB+RPV LA Q8W or Q4W for ∼3 years, and confirm the long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of CAB+RPV LA as a complete regimen for the maintenance of HIV-1 virologic suppression.
Background Phase III/IIIb studies demonstrated cabotegravir (CAB) + rilpivirine (RPV) long-acting (LA) dosed every 4 weeks (Q4W) was noninferior to current antiviral regimen (CAR) (FLAIR and ATLAS) and CAB + RPV LA dosed every 8 weeks (Q8W) was noninferior to Q4W (ATLAS-2M) through Week 48 (W48). HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) blips (viral load [VL] ≥50 to < 200 c/mL) are common during antiretroviral therapy (ART) and generally not associated with subsequent virologic failure (2 consecutive HIV-1 RNA ≥200 c/mL). We compared the frequency of HIV-1 RNA blips and low-level qualitative and quantitative HIV-1 RNA replication among participants treated with CAB+RPV LA and oral CAR and assessed impact on virologic outcome. Methods Plasma samples collected at study visits were analyzed for HIV-1 RNA viral load using the Abbott RealTime HIV-1 assay and qualitative target detected (TD) or target not detected (TND) outcomes were provided for HIV-1 RNA < 40 c/mL. The HIV-1 SuperLow assay (bioMONTR Labs) was used to measure HIV-1 RNA < 2 c/mL at Baseline and W48. Results The proportion of participants with HIV-1 RNA blips was similar overall between Q4W CAB + RPV LA and CAR arms in FLAIR (38/283 [13%] vs 39/283 [14%]) and ATLAS (17/308 [6%] vs 23/308 [7%]). Presence of HIV-1 RNA blips in either arm was not associated with virologic non-response at W48 (HIV-1 RNA ≥50 c/mL per US Food and Drug Administration Snapshot). In ATLAS-2M, HIV-1 RNA blips were observed in 32/523 (6%; Q4W) and 18/522 (3%; Q8W) of participants, with W48 virologic nonresponse in 2 Q4W and 0 Q8W participants. TD outcomes at individual study visits were comparable between study arms for the 3 studies. At W48, the proportion of participants with HIV-1 RNA < 2 c/mL was similar to Baseline and similar between treatment groups in all studies. Conclusion The proportions of study participants with HIV-1 RNA blips, TD viral load results, and HIV-1 < 2 c/mL were similar between the Q4W and Q8W CAB+RPV LA and the oral 3-drug CAR arms through W48 in phase III/IIIb studies. HIV-1 RNA blips did not predict virologic nonresponse (Snapshot analysis) at W48. Disclosures Christine L.
