A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Phase 3 Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Ritonavir-Boosted Elvitegravir (EVG/r) Versus Raltegravir (RAL) Each Administered With a Background Regimen in HIV-1 Infected, Antiretroviral Treatment-Experienced Adults
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Elvitegravir, Raltegravir, and 3 other interventions for HIV Infection. Completed, enrolled 724 participants across 180 sites in 14 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a regimen containing once-daily elvitegravir (EVG) versus twice-daily raltegravir (RAL) added to a background regimen (1 fully-active ritonavir (RTV)-boosted protease inhibitor (PI) plus 1 or 2 additional antiretroviral (ARV) agents) in HIV-1 infected, ARV treatment-experienced adults who have documented resistance, or at least six months experience prior to screening with two or more different classes of ARV agents. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive EVG plus background regimen (Elvitegravir group), or raltegravir plus background regimen (Raltegravir group). Due to known drug interactions, participants in the Elvitegravir group receiving RTV-boosted atazanavir (ATV) or RTV-boosted lopinavir (LPV) as part of their background regimen will receive elvitegravir at a lower dose (85 mg).

Raltegravir tablet administered orally twice daily according to prescribing information
Placebo to match elvitegravir administered orally once daily
RAL placebo administered orally twice daily.
Background Regimen (administered according to prescribing information) contains 1 fully-active ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (PI/r) plus 1 or 2 additional agents. The ritonavir-boosted PIs include either ATV, darunavir, fosamprenavir, LPV (Kaletra®), or tipranavir; the additional agents include abacavir (ABC), Combivir® (lamivudine (LAM)/zidovudine (ZDV) coformulated), didanosine, emtricitabine (FTC), enfuvirtide, Epzicom® (ABC/LAM coformulated), etravirine, LAM, maraviroc, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), Truvada®, (FTC/TDF coformulated), and/or ZDV.
