TMC-114, new protease inhibitor for PI resistance: new 300 patient phase II study enrolling; sites listed
 
 
  Reported by Jules Levin
 
TMC-114 is a new protease inhibitor just completing early stages of development that is intended to be used by patients who have resistance to the currently available protease inhibitors, and the drug appears to be promising for patients who are resistant to currently available protease inhibitors.
 
This protease inhibitor has been shown in in vitro or laboratory studies to be potent against HIV with PI resistance. In a 14-day study TMC-114 reduced viral load an average of -1.35 log in patients with experience and resistance with multiple protease inhibitors. This new phase II study is a 48-week study that will test the drug in 300 patients with PI resistance. You can read more about TMC-114 and previous study results at this link:

----------
 
Phase 2 study of TMC114 and low dose ritonavir in HIV-1 infected subjects
 
This study is currently recruiting patients.
 
Sponsored by Tibotec Pharmaceutical
 
Purpose
 
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability (how well the body stands the drug) of an investigational protease inhibitor (PI) called TMC114 given with low dose ritonavir. Subjects who have previously received all three licensed classes of HIV antiviral drugs (known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) and protease inhibitors (PI)), and who are on a stable PI-containing regimen not including an NNRTI may be eligible to participate. Four doses of TMC-114/ritonavir will be studied. 300 patients in the United States and Puerto Rico will participate. The duration of the study is 48 weeks.
