Dear Investigator:
 
Following review of available data on investigational drugs TMC114 and MK-0518 with our colleagues at Merck Research Laboratories, an agreement has been reached to allow co-enrollment of patients in the ongoing TMC114-C226 EAP and in the MK-0518 Phase III studies.
 
The TMC114-226 EAP protocol states that investigational antiretrovirals (ARVs) may be allowed when favorable pharmacokinetic interaction and safety data support co-administration with TMC114 and low-dose RTV. It is expected that MK-0518 will have limited interactions with drugs that are primarily metabolized through the CYP 3A system, such as TMC114. Further information is provided in the MK-0518 Investigator Brochure.
 
Please review the following instructions on how to best proceed with co-enrollment. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
 
Sincerely,
 
Eric Lefebvre, MD
Director Global Clinical Development, TMC114
