Clinical Trials Experience in Adult Subjects Treatment ‑ Experienced Subjects: The safety profile of SELZENTRY is primarily based on 840 HIV-1–infected subjects who received at least 1 dose of SELZENTRY during two Phase 3 trials. A total of 426 of these subjects received the indicated twice‑daily dosing regimen. Assessment of treatment‑emergent adverse events is based on the pooled data from 2 trials in subjects with CCR5-tropic HIV‑1 (A4001027 and A4001028). The median duration of therapy with SELZENTRY for subjects in these trials was 48 weeks, with the total exposure on SELZENTRY twice daily at 309 patient‑years versus 111 patient‑years on placebo each administered with optimized background therapy (OBT). The population was 89% male and 84% white, with mean age of 46 years (range: 17 to 75 years). Subjects received dose equivalents of 300 mg maraviroc once or twice daily. The most common adverse events reported with twice‑daily therapy with SELZENTRY with frequency rates higher than placebo, regardless of causality, were upper respiratory tract infections, cough, pyrexia, rash, and dizziness. In these 2 trials, the rate of discontinuation due to adverse events was 5% for subjects who received SELZENTRY twice daily + OBT as well as those who received placebo + OBT. Most of the adverse events reported were judged to be mild to moderate in severity. The data described below occurred with twice‑daily dosing of SELZENTRY. The total numbers of subjects reporting infections were 233 (55%) and 84 (40%) in the group receiving SELZENTRY twice daily and the placebo group, respectively. Correcting for the longer duration of exposure on SELZENTRY compared with placebo, the exposure‑adjusted frequency (rate per 100 subject‑years) of these events was 133 for both SELZENTRY twice daily and placebo. Dizziness or postural dizziness occurred in 8% of subjects on either SELZENTRY or placebo, with 2 subjects (0.5%) on SELZENTRY permanently discontinuing therapy (1 due to syncope, 1 due to orthostatic hypotension) versus 1 subject on placebo (0.5%) permanently discontinuing therapy due to dizziness. Treatment-emergent adverse events, regardless of causality, from Trials A4001027 and A4001028 are summarized in Table 5 . Selected events occurring at greater than or equal to 2% of subjects and at a numerically higher rate in subjects treated with SELZENTRY are included; events that occurred at the same or higher rate on placebo are not displayed.

These events have been included because of their seriousness and either increased frequency on SELZENTRY or are potential risks due to the mechanism of action. Events attributed to the subjects’ underlying HIV-1 infection are not listed. Blood and Lymphatic System: Marrow depression and hypoplastic anemia. Cardiac Disorders: Unstable angina, acute cardiac failure, coronary artery disease, coronary artery occlusion, myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia. Hepatobiliary Disorders: Hepatic cirrhosis, hepatic failure, cholestatic jaundice, portal vein thrombosis, jaundice. Infections and Infestations: Endocarditis, infective myositis, viral meningitis, pneumonia, treponema infections, septic shock, Clostridium difficile colitis, meningitis. Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders: Myositis, osteonecrosis, rhabdomyolysis, blood creatine kinase increased. Neoplasms Benign, Malignant, and Unspecified (Including Cysts and Polyps): Abdominal neoplasm, anal cancer, basal cell carcinoma, Bowen’s disease, cholangiocarcinoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, lymphoma, metastases to liver, esophageal carcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of skin, tongue neoplasm (malignant stage unspecified), anaplastic large cell lymphomas T- and null-cell types, bile duct neoplasms malignant, endocrine neoplasms malignant and unspecified. Nervous System Disorders: Cerebrovascular accident, convulsions and epilepsy, tremor (excluding congenital), facial palsy, hemianopia, loss of consciousness, visual field defect. Clinical Trials Experience in Pediatric Subjects HIV-1–Infected Pediatric Subjects: Trial A4001031 is an open-label trial in which 103 treatment-experienced, CCR5-tropic, HIV-1–infected pediatric subjects aged 2 to less than 18 years weighing at least 10 kg received SELZENTRY twice daily in combination with OBT. The dose of SELZENTRY was based on body surface area (BSA) and on whether the subject was receiving potent CYP3A inhibitors and/or inducers. The median duration of therapy with SELZENTRY was 131 weeks with 72% of subjects receiving study treatment for greater than 48 weeks and 62% of subjects receiving study treatment for 96 weeks. In these 103 children and adolescents, the safety profile through 96 weeks was similar to that for adults. Most of the adverse reactions reported were mild to moderate; severe (Grade 3 and 4) adverse reactions occurred in 2% of subjects. The most common adverse reactions (all grades) reported with twice-daily therapy with SELZENTRY were vomiting (12%), abdominal pain (4%), diarrhea (4%), nausea (4%), and dizziness (3%). Three subjects (3%) discontinued due to adverse events. Maraviroc-related gastrointestinal adverse events through 48 weeks (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain/cramps) were observed more commonly in subjects who received the SELZENTRY oral solution (21%) compared with those who received SELZENTRY tablets (16%). Subjects were permitted to change formulations after Week 48. HIV-1–Exposed Neonates: The IMPAACT P2007 trial was an open-label trial in which 47 full-term HIV-1–exposed neonates (born to HIV-1–infected mothers) received at least one dose of SELZENTRY in combination with other antiretrovirals, mostly zidovudine and/or nevirapine [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Cohort 1 received 2 single doses of SELZENTRY: the first within 3 days of birth and the second at 7 to 14 days of age. Cohort 2 received SELZENTRY twice daily for 6 weeks beginning within 3 days of birth and continued through Week 6. Both cohorts received SELZENTRY with or without exposure to maternal efavirenz (in utero only in Cohort 1, and both in utero and after birth while breastfeeding in Cohort 2). The population was 51% male and 81% black. All infants were followed for safety through 16 weeks, with a total of 37 infants evaluable for safety. There were no additional adverse reactions observed in neonates compared with those seen in adults. All adverse reactions reported were mild to moderate. The most common adverse reaction (all grades) reported with SELZENTRY was hemoglobin decreased (14%). One subject (3%) discontinued due to an adverse event (Grade 3 staphylococcal sepsis). 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse events have been identified during postapproval use of SELZENTRY. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders Stevens‑Johnson syndrome (SJS), drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).

Warnings & Cautions for Selzentry

  • Hepatotoxicity accompanied by severe rash or systemic allergic reaction, including potentially life-threatening events, has been reported. Hepatic laboratory parameters including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and bilirubin should be obtained prior to starting SELZENTRY and at other time points during treatment as clinically indicated. If rash or symptoms or signs of hepatitis or allergic reaction develop, hepatic laboratory parameters should be monitored and discontinuation of treatment should be considered. When administering SELZENTRY to patients with pre-existing liver dysfunction or who are co-infected with hepatitis B and/or C virus, additional monitoring may be warranted. ( 5.1 )
  • Severe and potentially life-threatening skin and hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in patients taking SELZENTRY. This includes cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, hypersensitivity reaction, and toxic epidermal necrolysis. Immediately discontinue SELZENTRY and other suspected agents if signs or symptoms of severe skin or hypersensitivity reactions develop and monitor clinical status, including liver aminotransferases, closely. ( 5.2 )
  • More cardiovascular events, including myocardial ischemia and/or infarction, were observed in treatment-experienced subjects who received SELZENTRY. Additional monitoring may be warranted. ( 5.3 )
  • If patients with severe renal impairment or ESRD receiving SELZENTRY (without concomitant CYP3A inducers or inhibitors) experience postural hypotension, the dose of SELZENTRY should be reduced from 300 mg twice daily to 150 mg twice daily. ( 5.3 ) 5.1 Hepatotoxicity Hepatotoxicity with allergic features including life-threatening events has been reported in clinical trials and postmarketing. Severe rash or evidence of systemic allergic reaction including drug-related rash with fever, eosinophilia, elevated IgE, or other systemic symptoms have been reported in conjunction with hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . These events occurred approximately 1 month after starting treatment. Among reported cases of hepatitis, some were observed in the absence of allergic features or with no pre-existing hepatic disease. Appropriate laboratory testing including ALT, AST, and bilirubin should be conducted prior to initiating therapy with SELZENTRY and at other time points during treatment as clinically indicated. Hepatic laboratory parameters should be obtained in any patient who develops rash, or signs or symptoms of hepatitis, or allergic reaction. Discontinuation of SELZENTRY should be considered in any patient with signs or symptoms of hepatitis, or with increased liver transaminases combined with rash or other systemic symptoms. When administering SELZENTRY to patients with pre-existing liver dysfunction or who are co-infected with hepatitis B and/or C virus, additional monitoring may be warranted. The safety and efficacy of SELZENTRY have not been specifically studied in patients with significant underlying liver disorders. 5.2 Severe Skin and Hypersensitivity Reactions Severe, potentially life-threatening skin and hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in patients taking SELZENTRY, in most cases concomitantly with other drugs associated with these reactions. These include cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . The cases were characterized by features including rash, constitutional findings, and sometimes organ dysfunction, including hepatic failure. Discontinue SELZENTRY and other suspected agents immediately if signs or symptoms of severe skin or hypersensitivity reactions develop (including, but not limited to, severe rash or rash accompanied by fever, malaise, muscle or joint aches, blisters, oral lesions, conjunctivitis, facial edema, lip swelling, eosinophilia). Delay in stopping treatment with SELZENTRY or other suspect drugs after the onset of rash may result in a life-threatening reaction. Clinical status, including liver aminotransferases, should be monitored and appropriate therapy initiated. 5.3 Cardiovascular Events Eleven subjects (1.3%) who received SELZENTRY had cardiovascular events, including myocardial ischemia and/or infarction, during the Phase 3 trials in treatment‑experienced subjects (total exposure 609 patient‑years [300 on SELZENTRY once daily + 309 on SELZENTRY twice daily]), while no subjects who received placebo had such events (total exposure 111 patient‑years). These subjects generally had cardiac disease or cardiac risk factors prior to use of SELZENTRY, and the relative contribution of SELZENTRY to these events is not known. In the Phase 2b/3 trial in treatment‑naive adult subjects, 3 subjects (0.8%) who received SELZENTRY had events related to ischemic heart disease and 5 subjects (1.4%) who received efavirenz had such events (total exposure 506 and 508 patient‑years for SELZENTRY and efavirenz, respectively). When SELZENTRY was administered to healthy volunteers at doses higher than the recommended dose, symptomatic postural hypotension was seen at a greater frequency than in placebo. However, when SELZENTRY was given at the recommended dose in HIV-1–infected adult subjects in Phase 3 trials, postural hypotension was seen at a rate similar to placebo (approximately 0.5%). Patients with cardiovascular comorbidities, risk factors for postural hypotension, or receiving concomitant medication known to lower blood pressure, could be at increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events triggered by postural hypotension. Additional monitoring may be warranted. Postural Hypotension in Patients with Renal Impairment An increased risk of postural hypotension may occur in patients with severe renal insufficiency or in those with ESRD due to increased maraviroc exposure in some patients. SELZENTRY should be used in patients with severe renal impairment or ESRD only if they are not receiving a concomitant potent CYP3A inhibitor or inducer. However, the use of SELZENTRY in these patients should only be considered when no alternative treatment options are available. If adult patients with severe renal impairment or ESRD experience any symptoms of postural hypotension while taking 300 mg twice daily, the dose should be reduced to 150 mg twice daily [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 )] . 5.4 Immune Reconstitution Syndrome Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy, including SELZENTRY. During the initial phase of combination antiretroviral treatment, patients whose immune systems respond may develop an inflammatory response to indolent or residual opportunistic infections (such as infection with Mycobacterium avium infection, cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia [PCP], tuberculosis, or reactivation of Herpes simplex and Herpes zoster ), which may necessitate further evaluation and treatment. Autoimmune disorders (such as Graves’ disease, polymyositis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome) have also been reported to occur in the setting of immune reconstitution; however, the time to onset is more variable, and can occur many months after initiation of treatment. 5.5 Potential Risk of Infection SELZENTRY antagonizes the CCR5 co-receptor located on some immune cells, and therefore could potentially increase the risk of developing infections. The overall incidence and severity of infection, as well as AIDS-defining category C infections, were comparable in the treatment groups during the Phase 3 adult treatment‑experienced trials of SELZENTRY. While there was a higher rate of certain upper respiratory tract infections reported in the treatment arm receiving SELZENTRY compared with placebo (23% versus 13%), there was a lower rate of pneumonia (2% versus 5%) reported in subjects receiving SELZENTRY. A higher incidence of Herpes virus infections (11 per 100 patient‑years) was also reported in the treatment arm receiving SELZENTRY when adjusted for exposure compared with placebo (8 per 100 patient‑years). In the Phase 2b/3 trial in treatment‑naive adult subjects, the incidence of AIDS-defining Category C events when adjusted for exposure was 1.8 for SELZENTRY compared with 2.4 for efavirenz per 100 patient‑years of exposure. Patients should be monitored closely for evidence of infections while receiving SELZENTRY. 5.6 Potential Risk of Malignancy While no increase in malignancy has been observed with SELZENTRY, due to this drug’s mechanism of action, it could affect immune surveillance and lead to an increased risk of malignancy. The exposure-adjusted rate for malignancies per 100 patient‑years of exposure in adult treatment‑experienced trials was 4.6 for SELZENTRY compared with 9.3 on placebo. In treatment‑naive adult subjects, the rates were 1.0 and 2.4 per 100 patient‑years of exposure for SELZENTRY and efavirenz, respectively. Long-term follow-up is needed to more fully assess this risk.

Drug Interactions with Selzentry

  • Coadministration with CYP3A inhibitors, including protease inhibitors (except tipranavir/ritonavir), will increase the concentration of SELZENTRY. ( 7.1 )
  • Coadministration with CYP3A inducers, including efavirenz, may decrease the concentration of SELZENTRY. ( 7.1 )
  • Coadministration with St. John’s wort is not recommended. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Concomitant Drugs on the Pharmacokinetics of Maraviroc Maraviroc is metabolized by CYP3A and is also a substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1, and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP)2. The pharmacokinetics of maraviroc are likely to be modulated by inhibitors and inducers of CYP3A and P-gp and may be modulated by inhibitors of OATP1B1 and MRP2. Therefore, a dosage adjustment may be required when maraviroc is coadministered with those drugs [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 , 2.4 )] . Concomitant use of maraviroc and St. John's wort ( Hypericum perforatum ) or products containing St. John's wort is not recommended. Coadministration of maraviroc with St. John's wort is expected to substantially decrease maraviroc concentrations and may result in suboptimal levels of maraviroc and lead to loss of virologic response and possible resistance to maraviroc. Additional drug interaction information is available [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

Pregnancy Safety for Selzentry

Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to SELZENTRY during pregnancy. Physicians are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) at 1-800-258-4263. Risk Summary Limited data on the use of SELZENTRY during pregnancy from the APR and case reports are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk of birth defects and miscarriage. In animal reproduction studies, no evidence of adverse developmental outcomes was observed with maraviroc.

During organogenesis in the rat and rabbit, systemic exposures (AUC) to maraviroc were approximately 20 times (rats) and 5 times (rabbits) the exposure in humans at the recommended 300-mg twice-daily dose. In the rat pre- and post-natal development study, maternal systemic exposure (AUC) to maraviroc was approximately 14 times the exposure in humans at the recommended 300-mg twice-daily dose (see Data). The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.

In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data: Maraviroc was administered orally to pregnant rats (up to 1,000 mg per kg per day) and rabbits (up to 75 mg per kg per day) on gestation Days 6 to 17 and 7 to 19, respectively. No adverse effects on embryo-fetal development were observed at these dose levels, resulting in exposures (AUC) approximately 20 times (rats) and 5 times (rabbits) higher than human exposures at the recommended daily dose.

In the rat pre- and post-natal development study, maraviroc was administered orally at up to 1,000 mg per kg per day on gestation Day 6 to lactation/post-partum Day 20, with development of the offspring (including fertility and reproductive performance) unaffected by maternal administration of maraviroc at an exposure (AUC) approximately 14 times higher than human exposure at the recommended daily dose.

Pediatric Use of Selzentry

Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of SELZENTRY have been established in pediatric patients aged from birth to less than 18 years. The use of SELZENTRY in pediatric patients was supported by pharmacokinetic and safety data described below and by previous demonstration of efficacy in adult patients. HIV-1–Infected Pediatric Patients Aged 2 to Less Than 18 Years: The safety, pharmacokinetic profile, and antiviral activity of SELZENTRY were evaluated in treatment-experienced, CCR5-tropic, HIV-1–infected pediatric subjects aged 2 to less than 18 years weighing at least 10 kg in an open-label, multicenter clinical trial, A4001031. Pharmacokinetics were evaluated in a total of 98 pediatric subjects: 85 subjects received SELZENTRY and concomitant medications that included potent CYP3A inhibitors with or without potent CYP3A inducers, 10 subjects received SELZENTRY and noninteracting medications (not containing potent CYP3A inhibitors or potent CYP3A inducers), and three subjects received SELZENTRY and medications that included potent CYP3A inducers without potent CYP3A inhibitors . HIV-1–Infected Pediatric Patients Aged Older Than 6 Weeks to Less Than 2 Years: No clinical trials have been conducted in children aged older than 6 weeks to less than 2 years.

Dosing recommendations for SELZENTRY in this population when concomitantly receiving noninteracting medications are based on population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation only . HIV-1–Infected Neonates Aged from Birth to 6 Weeks: The recommendation of SELZENTRY for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in this pediatric population is based on safety and pharmacokinetic data obtained from clinical trial IMPAACT P2007. In IMPAACT P2007, the safety and pharmacokinetic profiles of SELZENTRY were evaluated in full-term HIV-1–exposed neonates (born to HIV-1–infected mothers) aged from birth through 6 weeks. Pharmacokinetics were evaluated in 38 of 47 enrolled neonates who received SELZENTRY as a single dose (n = 13) or multiple doses (n = 25) up to 6 weeks of age concomitantly with other antiretrovirals (mostly zidovudine and/or nevirapine) with or without maternal exposure to efavirenz. HIV-1 status was assessed by nucleic acid test at birth, Week 6, and Week 16; all 47 enrolled neonates were HIV-1 negative at completion of the study . There are insufficient data to make dosing recommendations for use of SELZENTRY in pediatric patients concomitantly receiving potent CYP3A inhibitors and weighing less than 10 kg, or in any pediatric patients concomitantly receiving potent CYP3A inducers without a potent CYP3A inhibitor.

SELZENTRY is not recommended in pre-term neonates or in pediatric patients weighing less than 2 kg.

Contraindications for Selzentry

is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment or ESRD (creatinine clearance less than 30 mL per minute) who are concomitantly taking potent CYP3A inhibitors or inducers. SELZENTRY is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (creatinine clearance less than 30 mL per minute) who are concomitantly taking potent CYP3A inhibitors or inducers.

Overdosage Information for Selzentry

The highest single dose administered in clinical trials was 1,200 mg. The dose-limiting adverse event was postural hypotension, which was observed at 600 mg. While the recommended dose for SELZENTRY in patients receiving a CYP3A inducer without a CYP3A inhibitor is 600 mg twice daily, this dose is appropriate due to enhanced metabolism.

Prolongation of the QT interval was seen in dogs and monkeys at plasma concentrations 6 and 12 times, respectively, those expected in humans at the intended exposure of 300-mg equivalents twice daily. However, no significant QT prolongation was seen in the trials in treatment-experienced subjects with HIV using the recommended doses of maraviroc, or in a specific pharmacokinetic trial to evaluate the potential of maraviroc to prolong the QT interval . There is no specific antidote for overdose with maraviroc. Treatment of overdose should consist of general supportive measures including keeping the patient in a supine position, careful assessment of patient vital signs, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram.

Administration of activated charcoal may also be used to aid in removal of unabsorbed drug. Hemodialysis had a minimal effect on maraviroc clearance and exposure in a trial in subjects with ESRD .

Clinical Studies of Selzentry

Clinical Studies in Adult Subjects

The clinical efficacy and safety of SELZENTRY are derived from analyses of data from 3 trials in adult subjects infected with CCR5-tropic HIV-1: Trials A4001027 and A4001028 in antiretroviral treatment-experienced adult subjects and Trial A4001026 in treatment-naive subjects. These trials were supported by a 48-week trial in antiretroviral treatment-experienced adult subjects infected with dual/mixed-tropic HIV-1, Trial A4001029. Trials in CCR5-Tropic, Treatment-Experienced Subjects Trials A4001027 and A4001028 were double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter trials in subjects infected with CCR5-tropic HIV-1. Subjects were required to have an HIV-1 RNA greater than 5,000 copies per mL despite at least 6 months of prior therapy with at least 1 agent from 3 of the 4 antiretroviral drug classes (greater than or equal to 1 NRTI, greater than or equal to 1 NNRTI, greater than or equal to 2 PIs, and/or enfuvirtide) or documented resistance to at least 1 member of each class. All subjects received an optimized background regimen consisting of 3 to 6 antiretroviral agents (excluding low-dose ritonavir) selected on the basis of the subject’s prior treatment history and baseline genotypic and phenotypic viral resistance measurements.

In addition to the optimized background regimen, subjects were then randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio to SELZENTRY 300 mg once daily, SELZENTRY 300 mg twice daily, or placebo. Doses were adjusted based on background therapy as described in Dosage and Administration , Table 1. In the pooled analysis for Trials A4001027 and A4001028, the demographics and baseline characteristics of the treatment groups were comparable ( Table 16 ). Of the 1,043 subjects with a CCR5-tropism result at screening, 7.6% had a dual/mixed-tropism result at the baseline visit 4 to 6 weeks later. This illustrates the background change from CCR5- to dual/mixed-tropism result over time in this treatment-experienced population, prior to a change in antiretroviral regimen or administration of a CCR5 co-receptor antagonist.

The mean changes in plasma HIV-1 RNA from baseline to Week 48 were –1.84 log 10 copies per mL for subjects receiving SELZENTRY + OBT compared with –0.78 log 10 copies per mL for subjects receiving OBT only.

The mean increase in CD4+ cell count was higher on SELZENTRY twice daily + OBT (124 cells per mm 3 ) than on placebo + OBT (60 cells per mm 3 ). Trial in Dual/Mixed-Tropic, Treatment-Experienced Subjects Trial A4001029 was an exploratory, randomized, double-blind, multicenter trial to determine the safety and efficacy of SELZENTRY in subjects infected with dual/mixed co-receptor tropic HIV-1. The inclusion/exclusion criteria were similar to those for Trials A4001027 and A4001028 above and the subjects were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to SELZENTRY once daily, SELZENTRY twice daily, or placebo. No increased risk of infection or HIV-1 disease progression was observed in the subjects who received SELZENTRY. Use of SELZENTRY was not associated with a significant decrease in HIV-1 RNA compared with placebo in these subjects and no adverse effect on CD4+ cell count was noted. Trial in Treatment-Naive Subjects Trial A4001026 was a randomized, double-blind, multicenter trial in subjects infected with CCR5-tropic HIV-1 classified by the original TROFILE tropism assay.

Subjects were required to have plasma HIV-1 RNA greater than or equal to 2,000 copies per mL and could not have: 1) previously received any antiretroviral therapy for greater than 14 days, 2) an active or recent opportunistic infection or a suspected primary HIV-1 infection, or 3) phenotypic or genotypic resistance to zidovudine, lamivudine, or efavirenz. Subjects were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to SELZENTRY 300 mg once daily, SELZENTRY 300 mg twice daily, or efavirenz 600 mg once daily, each in combination with lamivudine/zidovudine. The efficacy and safety of SELZENTRY are based on the comparison of SELZENTRY twice daily versus efavirenz.

In a pre-planned interim analysis at 16 weeks, SELZENTRY 300 mg once daily failed to meet the pre-specified criteria for demonstrating non-inferiority and was discontinued. The demographic and baseline characteristics of the maraviroc and efavirenz treatment groups were comparable ( Table 18 ). Subjects were stratified by screening HIV-1 RNA levels and by geographic region. The median CD4+ cell counts and mean HIV-1 RNA at baseline were similar for both treatment groups.

Treatment outcomes are based on reanalysis of the screening samples using a more sensitive tropism assay, enhanced sensitivity TROFILE HIV tropism assay, which became available after the Week 48 analysis; approximately 15% of the subjects identified as CCR5-tropic in the original analysis had dual/mixed- or CXCR4-tropic virus. Screening with enhanced sensitivity version of the TROFILE tropism assay reduced the number of maraviroc virologic failures with CXCR4- or dual/mixed-tropic virus at failure to 12 compared with 24 when screening with the original TROFILE HIV tropism assay. Table 19. Trial Outcome (Snapshot) at Week 96 Using Enhanced Sensitivity Assay a a The total number of subjects in Table 19 represents the subjects who had a CCR5-tropic virus in the reanalysis of screening samples using the more sensitive tropism assay.

This reanalysis reclassified approximately 15% of subjects shown in Table 18 as having dual/mixed- or CXCR4-tropic virus. These numbers are different than those presented in Table 18 because the numbers in Table 18 reflect the subjects with CCR5-tropic virus according to the original tropism assay. b Week 48 results: Virologic responders (less than 400): 228 of 311 (73%) in SELZENTRY, 219 of 303 (72%) in efavirenz; Virologic responders (less than 50): 213 of 311 (69%) in SELZENTRY, 207 of 303 (68%) in efavirenz. c Other reasons for discontinuation include lost to follow-up, withdrawn, protocol violation, and other.

Clinical Studies in Pediatric Subjects Trial in

CCR5-Tropic, Treatment-Experienced Subjects Trial A4001031 is an open-label, multicenter trial in pediatric subjects aged 2 to less than 18 years infected with only CCR5‑tropic HIV‑1. Subjects were required to have HIV‑1 RNA greater than 1,000 copies per mL at screening. All subjects (n = 103) received SELZENTRY twice daily and OBT. Dosing of SELZENTRY was based on BSA and doses were adjusted based on whether the subject was receiving potent CYP3A inhibitors and/or inducers. The population was 52% female and 69% black, with mean age of 10 years (range: 2 to 17 years). At baseline, mean plasma HIV-1 RNA was 4.4 log 10 copies per mL (range: 2.4 to 6.2 log 10 copies per mL), mean CD4+ cell count was 551 cells per mm 3 (range: 1 to 1,654 cells per mm 3 ), and mean CD4+ percent was 21% (range: 0% to 42%). At 48 weeks, 48% of subjects treated with SELZENTRY and OBT achieved plasma HIV-1 RNA less than 48 copies per mL and 65% of subjects achieved plasma HIV-1 RNA less than 400 copies per mL. The mean CD4+ cell count (percent) increase from baseline to Week 48 was 247 cells per mm 3 (5%).
