Phase 1/2, Multicenter, Open-label, Pharmacokinetic, Safety, Tolerability, and Antiviral Activity Study of Dolutegravir (DTG),

Key Characteristics of DTG
• Once-daily, unboosted integrase inhibitor
• Low to moderate PK variability1
• Few drug interactions requiring dose adjustment
• Rapid and durable virologic response in adults2
– 10-50 mg DTG doses studied– 50 mg QD selected for phase 3, integrase inhibitor-naive subjects– Phase 3 treatment naïve adult data to be presented on Thursday

P1093 Study Design
• Phase 1/2 multicenter, open-label, noncomparative study of HIV-1 infected infants, children, and adolescents aged ≥6 wk to <18 y, of DTG when administered both prior to starting and in combination with OBT– Cohort 1: 12 to <18 y – Cohort 2: 6 to <12 y – Cohort 3: 2 to <6 y– Cohort 4: 6 mo to <2 y– Cohort 5: 6 wk to <6 mo
Enrollment Criteria
• INI-naïve• HIV-1 RNA >1000 copies/mL
• ARV treatment experienced–On ART
• Unchanged, failing regimen at least 8 wk
–Off ART• Off treatment 4 wk
• Must have at least 1 fully active drug for the OBT

Primary Objectives
• Select DTG dose that achieves similar exposure as the adult dose (AUC(0-24) as primary endpoint and C24 as secondary endpoint)
• Determine short- and long-term safety and tolerability• Evaluate steady-state PK of DTG in combination with
other antiretrovirals (OBT)

To minimize the potential impact of drug-drug interactions on PK variability, use of ATV, NVP, ATV/r, EFV, FPV, FPV/r, and TPV/r was not allowed PRIOR to the initial PK evaluation but could be added as part of optimized background therapy

Safety at Week 4
• DTG was generally well tolerated
– No discontinuations
– No drug-related AEs
– No grade 3 or 4 clinical or laboratory events
– No trends in lab abnormalities
HIV-1 RNA Results at Week 4
Outcomes n/N Percent (95% CI)
HIV-1 RNA <40 copies/mL 7/10 70 (34.7, 93.3)
HIV-1 RNA <400 copies/mL 9/10 90 (55.5, 99.8)
Achieved at least 1 log10 drop in HIV-1 RNA or HIV-1 RNA <400 copies/mL
10/10 100 (69.1, 100)
Median change from baseline was -2.8 log10 copies/mL (95% CI: -3.1, -2.6)
Conclusions
• DTG achieved mean AUC(0-24) and C24 within target range in children aged 12 to <18 y– PK/safety/tolerability data support dose selection of 50 mg
in children aged 12 to <18 y weighing ≥40 kg– Supported further enrollment in remainder of this cohort
(now n=22) – Data support further DTG initiation in the younger pediatric
cohort (6 to <12 y)
• DTG plus OBT was well tolerated and potent through Week 4
• Development of pediatric formulation is ongoing
