To evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen with rilpivirine (RPV) combined with two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (N[t]RTIs) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected Chinese subjects.
This is a Chinese subgroup study derived from the clinical study, TMC278-TiDP6-C222, which is a phase Ⅲ open-label multicenter, roll-over study. Patients received RPV 25 mg once daily (qd) in combination with two N[t]RTLs. The benefits from RPV treatment were evaluated by efficacy (HIV-1 RNA and CD4+ cell count) and safety (AE, SAE).
Overall, 26 HIV-1 infected Chinese subjects were treated in this extended C222 study. AE leading to permanent discontinuation of study drug were reported in one (3.8%) subject. Most AEs were grade 1 or 2 in severity. Grade 3 or 4 AEs were reported in two (7.7%) subjects. No RPV-related serious AEs (SAEs) were reported. During follow-up, only one (3.8%) subject experienced a blip between week 96 to week 120 (242 copies·mL-1) and then returned to VL<50 copies·mL-1 subsequently. All patients had at least one time of CD4>500 cell·mL-1 and the CD4+ cell count gradually increased over time until week 336 except a decrease occurred between week 192 to week 240.
Long-term treatment with RPV 25 mg qd in combination with two N(t) RTIs is effective, generally safe and well tolerated in Chinese adult patients with HIV-1 infection.
