Induction/Simplification With Atazanavir + Ritonavir + Abacavir/Lamivudine Fixed-Dose Combination In HIV-1 Infection

The mean age of participants randomized to treatment in the Randomized Phase was calculated at Baseline.

The percentage of PAR with HIV-1 RNA virus <50 c/ml from a Week 36 blood sample was tabulated. Per TLOVR algorithm, responders were PAR with confirmed viral load <50 c/ml who had not met any non-responder criterion. Non-responders were PAR who never achieved confirmed HIV RNA <50 c/ml, prematurely discontinued (DC) study or study medication (any reason), had confirmed rebound to >=50 c/ml, or had an unconfirmed HIV RNA >=50 c/ml at last visit. ITT-E observed analysis (Obs): all observed data. ITT-E M/D=F analysis: PAR with missing data/data collected after study medication DC were failures.

A blood sample was drawn to determine the amount of HIV-1 RNA virus in c/ml at Week 84. The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA <50 c/ml at Week 84 was tabulated. The secondary analysis methods were: Observed (Obs; uses all visits with data in the analysis period), and missing/discontinuation=failure (M/D=F) analyses. M/D=F: participants with missing data or data collected after study medication DC were considered failures.

Percentage of PAR with HIV-1 RNA <50 c/ml at Week 144 was tabulated; stratified by baseline HIV-1 RNA (<100,000 and >=100,000 c/ml). Per TLOVR algorithm, responders were PAR with confirmed (CF) HIV RNA <50 c/ml who had not met any non-responder (NR) criterion. NR were PAR who never achieved CF HIV RNA <50 c/ml, prematurely discontinued (DC) study or study medication (Med), had CF rebound to >=50 c/ml, or had an unconfirmed HIV RNA >=50 c/ml at last visit. Observed analysis (Obs): all observed data. M/D=F analysis: PAR with missing data/data collected after study Med DC were failures.

The percentage of PAR with HIV-1 RNA virus <400 c/ml from a Week 36 blood sample was tabulated. Per TLOVR algorithm, responders were PAR with confirmed (CF) HIV RNA <400 c/ml who had not met any non-responder criterion. Non-responders were PAR who never achieved CF HIV RNA <400 c/ml, prematurely discontinued (DC) study or study medication (Med; any reason), had CF rebound to >=400 c/ml, or had an unconfirmed HIV RNA >=400 c/ml at last visit. ITT-E observed analysis (Obs): all observed data. ITT-E M/D=F analysis: PAR with missing data/data collected after study Med DC were failures.

Percentage of PAR with HIV-1 RNA <400 c/ml at Week 84 was tabulated; stratified by baseline HIV-1 RNA (<100,000 and >=100,000 c/ml).

Observed analysis (Obs): all observed data. M/D=F analysis: PAR with missing data/data collected after study Med DC were failures.

The number of participants that failed to respond to therapy through 36 weeks on treatment, based on the protocol definition of virologic failure (PDVF), was tabulated. PDVF was defined as (a) failure to achieve plasma HIV-1 RNA <400 c/ml by Week 30 or (b) confirmed HIV-1 RNA rebound >=400 c/ml after achieving HIV-1 <400 c/ml.

The number of participants that failed to respond to therapy from the time of treatment randomization through Week 84, based on the protocol definition of virologic failure (PDVF), was tabulated. PDVF was defined as (a) failure to achieve plasma HIV-1 RNA <400 c/ml by Week 30 or (b) confirmed HIV-1 RNA rebound >=400 c/ml after achieving HIV-1 <400 c/ml.

The number of participants enrolled in the extension phase that failed to respond to therapy from Week 84 through Week 144, based on the protocol definition of virologic failure (PDVF) was tabulated,. PDVF was defined as (a) failure to achieve plasma HIV-1 RNA <400 c/ml by Week 30 or (b) confirmed HIV-1 RNA rebound >=400 c/ml after achieving HIV-1 <400 c/ml.

Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 36 value minus the baseline value. Blood was drawn to analyze for plasma HIV viral load.

Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 84 value minus the baseline value. Blood was drawn to analyze for plasma HIV viral load.

Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 144 value minus the baseline value. Blood was drawn to analyze for plasma HIV viral load.

Blood was drawn to analyze for CD4+ cell count. A CD4+ cell is a T lymphocyte that carries the CD4 antigen. Immunologic response was assessed by CD4+ counts. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 36 value minus the baseline value.

A blood sample was drawn for participants failing to respond to therapy, and the mutations present in the virus were identified. For each participant, the mutations found at the time of failure were compared with any mutations found in the blood sample at baseline. New resistance-associated mutations (defined by the International AIDS Society-USA guidelines) that developed at the time of failure were tabulated by drug class. PAR, participants; VF, virologic failure; NRTI, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; NNRTI, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; PI, protease inhibitor.

A blood sample was drawn for participants failing to respond to therapy, and changes in drug susceptibility for HIV isolated from the participants for each drug used in the study were assessed. For each participant, the changes in drug susceptibility detected by phenotypic assay in virus from the sample collected at the time of failure was compared with drug susceptibility in the virus from the blood sample at baseline. PAR, participant.

Percent compliance is defined as the total number of pills taken divided by the total number of pills prescribed. The total number of pills taken was calculated by subtracting any returned pills from the total number of pills that were dispensed to each participant during this period. Compliance was calculated for each medication in the regimen.
