Objective
¥ To ascertain that the efficacy of MVC in combination with a bPI (except TPV/r) is not compromised by less-frequent administration, particularly in key subgroups of patients.

Abstract
Background: bPIs (except tipranavir/r) increase MVC concentrations. MVC 150 mg QD administered with bPIs (300 mg total daily dose with fosamprenavir/r) achieves similar plasma AUC as MVC 300 mg BID without bPIs.
Methods: MOTIVATE trial patients received MVC QD or BID plus optimized background therapy*. Participants with R5 virus (ESTA) were included (n=841). We predicted that MVC would be effective at 150 mg QD with any bPI (except tipranavir and fosamprenavir [any bPI]) and 300 mg QD with fosamprenavir/r. We compared the percentage of patients achieving viral load (VL) ,50 copies/mL (48-weeks) among patients who received any bPI and MVC 150 mg QD and BID, and bFPV and MVC total daily dose of 300 mg (bold text, table).
Results: Baseline characteristics between groups were similar.

Multivariate analysis showed that MVC administration, higher baseline CD4 count,
greater wOBTss, not having a MVC level below quantification (but not MVC
concentration) were important factors predicting treatment success.
Conclusion: Combined with a bPI (except tipranavir/r), MVC QD (300 mg with bFPV,
150 mg with other bPIs) appears to be as effective as BID, even in patients with
high baseline VL or low CD4 count. A similar proportion of patients achieved
VL ,50 copies/mL when MVC was dosed QD or BID with >1 other fully active drug.
