Atazanavir
NDA 21- 567

  • ANTIVIRAL DRUGS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
  • May 13, 2003
2
Protease Inhibitors for HIV Treatment
    • Six marketed protease inhibitors
      • SQV, RTV, IDV, NFV, APV, LPV/RTV
    • Class effects include:
      • lipid elevations
      • lipodystrophy
      • diabetes/hyperglycemia


3
Atazanavir vs Other PIs: Similarities and Potential Differences
  • Class effects
    • Treatment with atazanavir resulted in less of an increase in lipid parameters compared to nelfinivir in phase 2 studies
    • Findings confirmed in phase 3 studies
    • Lipodystrophy/diabetes seen in atazanavir clinical trials


4
Atazanavir vs Other PIs: Similarities and Potential Differences
  • Hyperbilirubinemia (indirect)
    • UGT 1A1 inhibition
      • Similar mechanism to IDV
      • Incidence  > 75% Grades 1- 4
        • Grade 3- 4 T.bilirubin 40%
        • Incidence with IDV about 10%
  • QT/PR prolongation
  • Resistance Profile


5
Atazanavir for HIV Treatment
  • 2 principal studies
    • 034 - naïve (n=810) - 48 wk data
    • 043 - treatment experienced (n= 300)
  • 045 - highly treatment experienced
    •       RTV boosted regimen
    •     only 16 week data submitted
    •       reviewed for safety only
  • Phase 2 trials - 007 and 008 (48 + wk data)
6
Advisory Committee Issues
  • Safety and efficacy of atazanavir
    • hyperbilirubinemia
    • QT/PR prolongation
    • lipid effects
  • Results in treatment experienced population
  • Resistance assessment
