A Once-Daily Lopinavir/Ritonavir-Based Regimen Is Noninferior to Twice-Daily Dosing and Results in Similar Safety and Tolerability in Antiretroviral-Naive Subjects Through 48 Weeks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r)-dosed twice daily has demonstrated durable efficacy in antiretroviral-naive and protease inhibitor (PI) -experienced patients. Study M05-730 compared LPV/r tablets dosed once daily vs. twice daily in antiretroviral-naive subjects. METHODS: Six hundred sixty-four subjects were randomized to LPV/r soft gel capsules (SGCs) once daily, SGC twice daily, tablets once daily, and tablets twice daily, all with tenofovir and emtricitabine once daily. At week 8, all SGC-treated subjects were switched to tablets, maintaining randomized dose frequency. The primary efficacy analysis used an intent-to-treat, noncompleter = failure approach to assess noninferiority of the LPV/r once-daily group compared with the twice-daily group. RESULTS: At week 48, 77% of once-daily-dosed subjects vs. 76% of twice-daily-dosed subjects had HIV-1 RNA <50 copies per milliliter (P = 0.715; 95% confidence interval for difference: 5% to 8%). Response rates were numerically similar between the once-daily and twice-daily groups among subjects with baseline HIV-1 RNA > or = 100,000 copies per milliliter (75% once daily vs. 74.6% twice daily; P > 0.999) or when analyzed by baseline CD4+ T-cell count (<50, 50 to <200, and > or = 200 cells/mm3). Rates of discontinuation and adverse events, including diarrhea, were similar between arms. Among subjects with protocol-defined virologic rebound through week 48, no new PI resistance mutations were detected. CONCLUSIONS: At 48 weeks, the antiviral response in the LPV/r once-daily group was noninferior to the twice-daily group when coadministered with tenofovir and emtricitabine in antiretroviral-naive subjects. Efficacy was comparable between the once-daily and twice-daily groups regardless of baseline HIV-1 RNA or CD4+ T-cell count. Safety and tolerability of once-daily and twice-daily dosing was also comparable. No new PI resistance mutations were detected upon virologic rebound.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
