Capsule Summaries

Very Low Prevalence of Combinations of NNRTI Mutations Associated With Reduced Susceptibility to Etravirine in Clinical Samples
Case Reports Suggest Cross-Resistance May Limit Ability to Administer Integrase Inhibitors Sequentially
BLQ Study: Week 24 Interim Analysis Demonstrates Efficacy of Darunavir/Ritonavir Plus Enfuvirtide and OBR in Multiclass-Experienced Cohort
Relationship Between Baseline Mutations and Outcomes in TITAN Study Comparing Darunavir/Ritonavir and Lopinavir/Ritonavir in Lopinavir-Naive, Treatment-Experienced Patients
Darunavir/Ritonavir Superior to Lopinavir/Ritonavir in Lopinavir-Naive, Treatment-Experienced Patients After 48 Weeks of Therapy
Pretreatment Resistance Mutations Reduce Antiretroviral Therapy Response Rates
Pooled Data From MOTIVATE 1 and 2 Confirm Increased Efficacy of Maraviroc When Combined With at Least 1 Active Agent in OBR
Pooled Analysis of MOTIVATE 1 and 2 Confirms Efficacy, Supports Proposed Twice-Daily Administration
DUET-1 and -2: Etravirine (TMC125) Plus Darunavir/Ritonavir-Based Regimen Associated With High Rates of Viral Suppression in Treatment-Experienced HIV-Infected Patients

Learning Objectives

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

Discuss new insights into the impact of baseline resistance on response to antiretroviral therapy, both in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients
Summarize the findings of recent studies of new antiretroviral agents in existing and novel classes in the management of treatment-experienced patients
Describe recent observations regarding the selection of resistance mutations in patients with virologic failure in clinical studies of antiretroviral agents
