From 39 NNRTI RAMs based on list of 441
Determined using vircoTYPE HIV-1 test
ITT = intent-to-treat; TLOVR = time-to-loss of virologic response
Pooled analyses were preplanned

CI = confidence interval; Excluding major protocol violators; missing values after discontinuation imputed with change = 0; LOCF otherwise

*p-value for non-inferiority at 12% margin; Estimated by logistic regression adjusted for stratification factors

Analysis performed up to Week 48; Determined by TLOVR in the ITT population: confirmed response before Week 48 and confirmed rebound (rebounders) at or before Week 48, or no confirmed response before Week 48 (never suppressed); Lost to follow-up, non-compliance, withdrew consent, ineligible to continue, sponsor's decision; AE = adverse event

*Difference in response rates (95% CI)

NS = non significant; Safety analyses performed using all available data, including beyond Week 48; Fisher's Exact test, predefined analysis for these AEs; Well-described AEs associated with current NNRTIs at least possibly related to treatment and observed in ≥10% of patients in either group (all grades)

Worst grade, treatment-emergent events occurring in ≥2% of patients in either group and showing statistically significant differences between treatment groups by Fisher's Exact test, post-hoc analyses; N' = number with available test results; Lipid samples taken fasting

· No difference between groups in total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio at Week 48
· p value vs. EFV at Week 48 (non-parametric Wilcoxon rank-sum test)
