  Reported by Jules Levin
 
TMC114 at IDSA Conference
Toronto, Oct 12-15, 2006
 
There were many presentations at IDSA updating new information with new analyses from TMC114 studies. Cal Cohen presented this in an oral talk.

AUTHOR SUMMARY
 
DRV/r provides strong and durable response through Week 48

-- 61% of pts achieved ≥1 log10 VL reduction
-- 45% of pts had VL <50 copies/mL
 
DRV/r has a high genetic barrier to resistance
-- 92% of pts reaching <50 copies/mL at Week 24 maintained their response through Week 48
-- 79% of pts with ≥1 log10 VL reduction but VL ≥50 copies/mL at Week 24
maintained or improved their response through Week 48
 
Baseline FC to DRV is a strong predictor of response
-- FC 10 predicts the best virologic response
-- 70% of pts in the POWER studies had a FC 10
 
Baseline number of DRV-associated mutations is a strong predictor of response
-- 2 DRV-associated mutations predicts the best virologic response
-- 73% of pts in the POWER studies had 2 DRV-associated mutations
 
Virologic response increased as additional active agents were used with DRV/r
 
Study Overview:
Examination of factors influencing DRV/r response at Week 48 in POWER studies:

Phenotype (fold change in EC50)
Genotype
-- IAS-USA PI resistance-associated mutations
-- DRV-associated mutations
Active agents in optimized background regimen (OBR)
