Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Recount recent data from the DUET trials describing baseline characteristics predictive of etravirine response
  • Discuss the results of a study assessing the virologic response in patients treated with the combination of raltegravir, darunavir/ritonavir, and etravirine
  • Describe the associated affects of maraviroc on CD4+ cell count increases when compared with placebo
  • Explain the virologic outcomes associated with a switch from enfuvirtide to raltegravir
  • Identify investigational NNRTIs in early stages of clinical development

Topics covered include:

  • Patient Characteristics Predictive of Etravirine Response Include Baseline Viral Load and CD4+ Cell Count but not Sex or Race
  • Correlating Etravirine and Darunavir Resistance to Patient Response: Week 24 Subgroup Analysis of DUET Trials
  • GRACE Interim Analysis: The Role of Patient Sex and Race in Response to Darunavir/Ritonavir
  • Etravirine Safety: Lack of Associated Fetal and Neurologic Toxicity but Increased Incidence of Rash
  • Preliminary Safety and Efficacy Report on US Patients in the Etravirine Early Access Program
  • Switch From Enfuvirtide to Raltegravir With Virologic Suppression
  • TRIO: Week 24 Efficacy of Regimens Containing the Combination of Raltegravir, Etravirine, and Darunavir/Ritonavir
  • MOTIVATE Subanalyses: Immunologic Affects Associated With CCR5 Inhibition and Virologic Response by Baseline Viral Load
  • Pharmacokinetics of the Heat-Stable Ritonavir Tablet Formulation
  • Update on Investigational Antiretroviral Agents: Rilpivirine, RDEA806, and IDX899
