About this study
Official title: A Phase III Randomized, Double-blind Study to Demonstrate the Antiviral Activity of Dolutegravir (DTG) 50 mg Twice Daily Versus Placebo Both Co-Administered With a Failing Antiretroviral Regimen Over Seven Days, Followed by an Open Label Phase With All Subjects Receiving DTG 50 mg Twice Daily Co-administered With an Optimised Background Regimen (OBR) in HIV-1 Infected, Integrase Inhibitor Therapy-Experienced and Resistant, Adults
Study ING116529 is a multicenter, randomized, study with an initial 7 day placebo- controlled, functional monotherapy phase to quantify the antiviral activity attributable to dolutegravir (DTG) in HIV-1 infected, ART-experienced adults who are experiencing virological failure on an Integrase inhibitor containing regimen (current RAL or ELV failures), with evidence of genotypic resistance to RAL or ELV at study entry. Thirty subjects will be randomized (1:1) to receive either DTG 50mg BID (Arm A) or Placebo (Arm B) with the current failing regimen for 7 days (RAL or ELV should be discontinued prior to dosing with DTG). At Day 8, subjects from both arms will enter an open label phase and receive open label DTG 50mg BID with an optimized background regimen containing at least one fully active drug.
Read the detailed description
Study ING116529 is a multicenter, randomized, study with an initial 7 day placebo-controlled, functional monotherapy phase to assess the antiviral activity and safety of a dolutegravir (DTG, GSK1349572) containing regimen in HIV-1 infected, ART-experienced adults with virological failure on an integrase inhibitor (INI) containing regimen.
Subjects must have evidence of genotypic resistance to raltegravir [RAL] or elvitegravir [ELV] at Screening and documented current or historical genotypic or phenotypic resistance to at least two other antiretroviral therapy drug classes.
The study is designed to provide an accurate measure of the intrinsic antiviral activity of DTG 50mg twice daily versus placebo both administered with the current failing regimen in a randomised double-blind phase to Day 8. This will be followed by an open label phase with all subjects receiving DTG 50mg twice daily with an optimized background regimen (containing at least one fully active drug) until subjects no longer derive clinical benefit or until DTG is locally available. Thirty subjects will be randomized (1:1) to receive either DTG 50mg BID (Arm A) or Placebo (Arm B) with the current failing regimen for 7 days (RAL or ELV should be discontinued prior to dosing at Day 1). At Day 8, subjects from both arms will enter an open label phase and receive open label DTG 50mg BID with an optimized background regimen containing at least one fully active drug The primary analysis will be conducted after the last subject enrolled has completed the randomised, double-blind phase at Day 8. Additional analyses may be performed prior to study closure when all ongoing subjects transition to locally available commercial DTG.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mean Change From Baseline in Plasma Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) at Day 8
Plasma samples were collected for quantitative HIV-1 RNA analysis at Baseline (Day 1) and Day 8. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at Day 8 minus the value at Baseline (Day 1). The analysis was performed using statistical modeling correcting for Baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA, Baseline Dolutegravir (DTG) fold change (FC), the overall susceptibility score (OSS) of the failing regimen, and the interaction between DTG FC and treatment. Means and differences were calculated using the average Baseline DTG FC of the entire Intent-to-Treat Exposed (ITT-E) Population. The last observation carried forward with discontinuation equals Baseline (LOCFDB) dataset was used for the analysis. For the LOCFDB dataset, missing values were carried forward from the previous, non-missing, available on-treatment assessment, except formissing values due to premature withdrawal or Day 8 missing values, which had the Baseline value imputed.
Measured: Baseline and Day 8

Number of Participants With the Indicated Type of HIV-1 Disease Progression (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome [AIDS] or Death [DT])
The number of participants with HIV-1 disease progression (AIDS or death) was assessed per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 1993 revised classification system for HIV infection and expanded surveillance case definition for AIDS among adolescents and adults. The CDC classifies HIV infection as Category A (participants with asymptomatic HIV infection, acute HIV infection with accompanying illness, or persistent generalized lymphadenopathy), Category B (participants with symptomatic non-AIDS condition, i.e., conditions that are attributed to HIV infection or are indicative of a defect in cell-mediated immunity; or conditions are considered by physicians to have a clinical course or to require management that is complicated by HIV infection), and Category C (includes AIDS indicator conditions as defined by diagnostic or presumptive measures).
Measured: From the day of the first dose of study drug until early withdrawal or the Week 48 analysis cut-off date (median of 55 study weeks)
Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event (Serious and Non-serious) of the Indicated Grade
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death; is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity; or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised in other situations. Adverse events were graded for severity according to the Division of AIDS (DAIDS) toxicity scales as: Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), or Grade 4 (potentially life threatening).
Measured: From the first dose of study medication until early withdrawal or through the Week 48 analysis data cut-off date (median of 55 study weeks)
Number of Participants With the Maximum Post-Baseline-emergent Clinical Chemistry Toxicities of the Indicated Grade
Participants with post-Baseline-emergent clinical chemistry toxicities were analyzed. Clinical chemistry toxicities were graded for severity according to the DAIDS toxicity scales as: Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), or Grade 4 (potentially life threatening).
Measured: From the first dose of study medication until early withdrawal or through the Week 48 analysis data cut-off date (median of 55 study weeks)
Number of Participants With the Maximum Post-Baseline-emergent Hematology Toxicities of the Indicated Grade
Participants with post-Baseline-emergent hematology toxicities were analyzed. Hematology toxicities were graded for severity according to the DAIDS toxicity scales as: Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), or Grade 4 (potentially life threatening).
Measured: From the first dose of study medication until early withdrawal or through the Week 48 analysis data cut-off date (median of 55 study weeks)
AUC(0-tau) of DTG
The area under the time concentration curve over the dosing interval (AUC[0-tau]) of DTG was assessed by a population pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling approach using pooled DTG PK data from multiple studies. Blood samples for the determination of plasma DTG concentration were collected at the following time points: pre-dose and 1-3 hours post-dose on Day 8; pre-dose and within a post-dose window (1-3 hours or 4-12 hours) on Day 28 and Week 24. For Day 8 PK, only samples collected from participants randomized to the active DTG arm were analyzed.
Measured: Day 8, Day 28, and Week 24
Cmax of DTG
The maximal concentration (Cmax) of DTG was assessed by a population PK modeling approach using pooled DTG PK data from multiple studies. Blood samples for the determination of plasma DTG concentration were collected at the following time points: pre-dose and 1-3 hours post-dose on Day 8; pre-dose and within a post-dose window (1-3 hours or 4-12 hours) on Day 28 and Week 24. For Day 8 PK, only samples collected from participants randomized to the active DTG arm were analyzed.
Measured: Day 8, Day 28, and Week 24
Plasma DTG Pre-dose Concentration (C0) at Day 8, Day 28, and Week 24; and Average DTG C0 (C0 Avg) at Week 24
Blood samples for the determination of plasma DTG pre-dose concentration were collected pre-dose on Day 8, Day 28, and Week 24. For Day 8 PK, only samples collected from participants randomized to the active DTG arm were analyzed. C0 Avg was calculated at Week 24 as the mean of the concentration at Day 8, Day 28, and Week 24.
Measured: Day 8, Day 28, and Week 24
Number of Participants With the Indicated Treatment-emergent Integrase (IN) Mutations Detected at the Time of Defined Virologic Failure (PDVF), as a Measure of Genotypic Resistance
For participants meeting one of the criteria for PDVF, plasma samples collected at the time point of virologic failure were tested to evaluate any potential genotypic and/or phenotypic evolution of resistance. PDVF was defined as (A) Virologic Non-response: a decrease in plasma HIV-1 RNA of <1 log10 copies/mL by Day 28, with subsequent confirmation, unless plasma HIV-1 RNA is <400 copies/mL; confirmed plasma HIV-1 RNA levels >=400 copies/mL on or after Week 24 or (B) Virologic Rebound: confirmed rebound in plasma HIV-1 RNA levels to >=400 copies/mL after prior confirmed suppression to <400 copies/mL; confirmed plasma HIV-1 RNA levels >1 log10 copies/mL above the nadir value, where nadir is >=400 copies/mL.Treatment-emergent IN mutations are those detected at the time of PDVF but not at Baseline.
Measured: From the first dose of study medication until early withdrawal or through the Week 48 analysis data cut-off date (median of 55 study weeks)
Number of Participants With the Indicated Fold Increase in Fold Change (FC) in the 50% Inhibitory Concentration Relative to Wild-type Virus for DTG (i.e. PDVF FC/Baseline FC Ratio) at the Time of PDVF, as a Measure of Phenotypic Resistance
For participants meeting one of the criteria for PDVF, plasma samples collected at the time point of virologic failure were tested to evaluate any potential genotypic and/or phenotypic evolution of resistance. The FC in IC50 (50% inhibitory concentration) for DTG relative to wild-type virus was determined for virus isolated at Baseline and at the time of PDVF. The number of participants with the indicated change (ratio) in the two values at the time of PDVF is presented. PDVF was defined as (A) Virologic Non-response: a decrease in plasma HIV-1 RNA of <1 log10 copies/mL by Day 28, with subsequent confirmation, unless plasma HIV-1 RNA is <400 copies/mL; confirmed plasma HIV-1 RNA levels >=400 copies/mL on or after Week 24 or (B) Virologic Rebound: confirmed rebound in plasma HIV-1 RNA levels to >=400 copies/mL after prior confirmed suppression to <400 copies/mL; confirmed plasma HIV-1 RNA levels >1 log10 copies/mL above the nadir value, where nadir is >=400 copies/mL.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Study ING116529 is a multicenter, randomized, study with an initial 7 day placebo- controlled, functional monotherapy phase to quantify the antiviral activity attributable to dolutegravir (DTG) in HIV-1 infected, ART-experienced adults who are experiencing virological failure on an Integrase inhibitor containing regimen (current RAL or ELV failures), with evidence of genotypic resistance to RAL or ELV at study entry. Thirty subjects will be randomized (1:1) to receive either DTG 50mg BID (Arm A) or Placebo (Arm B) with the current failing regimen for 7 days (RAL or ELV should be discontinued prior to dosing with DTG). At Day 8, subjects from both arms will enter an open label phase and receive open label DTG 50mg BID with an optimized background regimen containing at least one fully active drug.
Detailed description
Study ING116529 is a multicenter, randomized, study with an initial 7 day placebo-controlled, functional monotherapy phase to assess the antiviral activity and safety of a dolutegravir (DTG, GSK1349572) containing regimen in HIV-1 infected, ART-experienced adults with virological failure on an integrase inhibitor (INI) containing regimen.
Subjects must have evidence of genotypic resistance to raltegravir [RAL] or elvitegravir [ELV] at Screening and documented current or historical genotypic or phenotypic resistance to at least two other antiretroviral therapy drug classes.
The study is designed to provide an accurate measure of the intrinsic antiviral activity of DTG 50mg twice daily versus placebo both administered with the current failing regimen in a randomised double-blind phase to Day 8. This will be followed by an open label phase with all subjects receiving DTG 50mg twice daily with an optimized background regimen (containing at least one fully active drug) until subjects no longer derive clinical benefit or until DTG is locally available. Thirty subjects will be randomized (1:1) to receive either DTG 50mg BID (Arm A) or Placebo (Arm B) with the current failing regimen for 7 days (RAL or ELV should be discontinued prior to dosing at Day 1). At Day 8, subjects from both arms will enter an open label phase and receive open label DTG 50mg BID with an optimized background regimen containing at least one fully active drug The primary analysis will be conducted after the last subject enrolled has completed the randomised, double-blind phase at Day 8. Additional analyses may be performed prior to study closure when all ongoing subjects transition to locally available commercial DTG.

Primary outcome
Mean Change From Baseline in Plasma Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) at Day 8
Time frame: Baseline and Day 8
Plasma samples were collected for quantitative HIV-1 RNA analysis at Baseline (Day 1) and Day 8. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at Day 8 minus the value at Baseline (Day 1). The analysis was performed using statistical modeling correcting for Baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA, Baseline Dolutegravir (DTG) fold change (FC), the overall susceptibility score (OSS) of the failing regimen, and the interaction between DTG FC and treatment. Means and differences were calculated using the average Baseline DTG FC of the entire Intent-to-Treat Exposed (ITT-E) Population. The last observation carried forward with discontinuation equals Baseline (LOCFDB) dataset was used for the analysis. For the LOCFDB dataset, missing values were carried forward from the previous, non-missing, available on-treatment assessment, except formissing values due to premature withdrawal or Day 8 missing values, which had the Baseline value imputed.
