study evaluated the antiviral activity, safety and tolerability of once-daily d4T extended/prolonged release capsules (XR/PRC) compared to the current twice-daily formulation of d4T immediate release (IR), when used in a HAART regimen in treatment-naïve HIV-infected subjects. Methods: Adult subjects
with CD4 ≥100 cells/µL (≥ 75 cells/µL if no prior AIDS event) and HIV RNA ≥ 2,000 copies/mL (c/mL) were randomized to either d4T XR/PRC or d4T IR, each in combination with 3TC + EFV (standard doses). The study had 90% power to demonstrate non-inferiority based on the primary outcome of proportion with HIV RNA < 400 c/mL at 48 weeks (wks). Results: Of 797
randomized subjects, 783 began treatment. Median baseline HIV RNA and CD4 were 4.8 log10 c/mL and 277 cells/µL, respectively. All subjects had 48 wks of follow-up (median 56 wks). Two virologic response (VR) analyses for LOQ <400 c/mL demonstrate similarity: VR-Treated (VR-T, an ITT analysis for all treated subjects), XR/PRC 80% vs IR 75% ([XR/PRC-IR], 4.4, 95%CI -1.5, 10.3); VR-Completers (VR-C; an On-Treatment analysis), 91% XR/PRC vs 89% IR. Analyses for LOQ <50 c/mL also support similarity: VR-T, XR/PRC 59% vs *Other includes noncompliance, administration decision, and protocol violation.

and exhibits an antiviral and immunologic profile similar to that of d4T IR whenused in a HAART regimen for treatment-naïve patients. d4T XR/PRC is anoption when designing once daily regimens.
INTRODUCTION
Stavudine (d4T) is currently approved as an immediate release formulation (d4T IR), dosed 40 mg BID for patients ≥60 kg and 30 mg BID for those <60 kg body weight. An extended-release encapsulated bead formulation of d4T (d4TXR/PRC*) that can be dosed once-daily was developed to simplify HIVtreatment and improve patient adherence to therapy. The 100 mg QD dose Figure 3. Proportion of Patients With HIV RNA <LOQ at Week 48 (ITT)
was selected based on modeling and simulations that predicted comparabledaily exposure (AUC) to the 40 mg IR BID. The difference in total daily dose is due to lower absorption of d4T from the colon; IR releases all drug in the upper GI tract whereas XR/PRC releases drug continuously throughout the entire GItract. Data from Phase I PK studies have confirmed the dose-equivalencebetween XR/PRC 100 mg QD and IR 40 mg BID and that XR/PRC can be taken without regard to food intake (see poster TuPeB4555; additional PK data is presented in poster TuPeB4554). Previously presented data from the final analysis of a 48-week Phase II/III clinical trial comparing d4T XR/PRC and d4T IR when used in combination with lamivudine (3TC) and efavirenz (EFV) have shown similar virologic and immunologic responses as well as comparable safety and tolerability (BMS 096)1. This study, BMS 099, is a similarly designed Phase III trial to evaluate the antiviral activity, safety, and tolerability of d4T XR/PRC compared to d4T IR when used in combination with 3TC and EFV in antiretroviral naive adults. Data presented here are from the 48-week analysis. OBJECTIVES
The difference estimates (XR/PRC-IR) for the 2 analyses at both LOQ=400 andLOQ=50 all met the prescribed criteria (lower limit greater than -12%) Compare the following outcomes between d4T XR/PRC and d4T IR treatment demonstrating similarity between XR/PRC and IR regimens Figure 4.

Antiretroviral-naive (≤30 days of any NRTI, NNRTI, or PI) Patients with primary (acute) HIV infection or a newly diagnosed HIV-related opportunistic infection or condition were excluded This study was designed to provide at least 90% power to demonstrate similar antiviral activity (proportion of patients with HIV RNA <400 copies/mL at 48 weeks) between the d4T XR/PRC and d4T IR-containing regimens Treatment regimens were considered similar if the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the difference in proportions (XR/PRC-IR) wasgreater than -12% Figure 1.

The VRT/ITT analysis is an ITT analysis for all treated patients; it includes patients who received at least one dose of study drug and excludes those who were randomized but who never initiated treatment (7 in XR/PRC; 7 in IR).
Failures were defined as patients with HIV RNA >/= LOQ (limit of quantitation of the HIV RNA assay) or those who discontinued for any reason The OT (on-treatment) analysis includes all patients on treatment at time of analysis. Responders were patients with HIV RNA < LOQ at week 48. Failures were defined as patients with HIV RNA >/= LOQ at week 48 Over a median follow-up of 56 weeks the following safety observations were made: Pancreatitis occurred in 0 XR/PRC subjects and in 3 IR subjects Lactic acidosis syndrome (LAS) or symptomatic hyperlactemia (SHL) occurred in 2 XR/PRC subjects and 6 IR subjects Lipodystrophy was reported in only 3% of XR/PRC subjects and 4% of IR subjects 797 patients were randomized; 783 initiated therapy at 71 sites worldwide The baseline characteristics were well matched between the two treatment DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS
Stavudine XR/PRC 100 mg dosed once daily (75 mg QD for those <60 kg) Table 1. Baseline Characteristics
provides comparable daily drug exposure (AUC) to 40 mg IR dosed twice daily (30 mg BID for those <60 kg). This AUC equivalence translates into similar clinical efficacy and comparable safety as measured by: Proportion of patients achieving HIV RNA <400 or <50 copies/mL Overall rates of clinical adverse events and laboratory abnormalities Stavudine was well tolerated through week 48, with only 4% of patients in each Although not achieving statistical significance, medically important events of peripheral neurologic symptoms, pancreatitis, and LAS/SHL occurred in fewer XR/PRC subjects Stavudine XR/PRC may be used to construct fully once-daily regimens that may improve patient adherence and may thereby result in better long-term clinical outcomes.
