15n=278, 3-dose study in treatment-experienced patients
1620mg, 50mgs and 125mgs qd boosted by 100mg of ritonavir; control is ritonavir-boosted PI regimen. Patients must have been on two prior antiretrovirals
17Study met primary endpoint of non-inferiority vs protease inhibitors. P=0.02 for 125mg arm.
18At 24 weeks GS9137 had -1.7 log reduction vs -1.2 log for boosted protease inhibitors
1950mg had 38% undetectable at 16 weeks. 125mg had 40%. 64-84% of MK-518 was undetectable at 16 weeks in phase 2. Phase 3 data shows 60% vs 33-36% control.
