AUTHOR CONCLUSIONS:
In highly treatment-experienced patients, treatment with 125 mg EVG/r and at least one additional active NRTI or T-20 resulted in a sustained >2 log10 reduction in HIV-1 RNA through 24 weeks
 
Common IN mutation patterns at failure included:
-- E92Q + other mutations
-- N155H + other mutations
-- Q148R/H/K + other mutations
These patterns overlap with the two major resistance patterns reported in raltegravir clinical trials (N155H + others; Q148K/R/H + others)
 
Development of IN mutations was associated with reduced susceptibility to both EVG and RAL
-- Clinical cutoffs for both drugs remain to be established
-- Potential for drug sequencing within the class is unknown
 
Development of IN mutations was associated with significant reductions in viral replication capacity
-- Clinical significance of IN RC reduction is unknown
 
Elvitegravir (EVG, GS-9137 / JTK-303) Background
 
-- Dihydroquinoline carboxylic acid strand transfer inhibitor of
-- HIV integrase (both HIV-1 and HIV-2)
-- Serum-free antiviral IC50 = 0.2 nM; IC90 = 1.2 nM in PBMCs
-- Active against NRTI-, NNRTI-, and PI-resistant isolates

Secondary IN mutations observed
-- With E92Q: H51Y, S147G, E157Q
-- With T66I: F121Y, S153Y, R263K
-- Further reduce EVG susceptibility
-- F121Y also reduces RAL susceptibility
