  • Medicine and Drug Regulatory Affairs
3
Clinical Need
  • Growing population of treatment-experienced HIV+ patients with limited treatment options
  • 3% to 5% of newly HIV-infected patients have multidrug resistant HIV-1
  • Multidrug resistant HIV-1 is associated with increased AIDS progression and death
4
Tipranavir
  • Shows significant antiviral activity against the majority
    of multidrug resistant HIV-1
  • Challenging clinical development program in PI treatment- experienced HIV+ patients
  • Offers a significant new treatment option for PI treatment-experienced patients

"Novel nonpeptidic protease inhibitor developed..."
  • Novel nonpeptidic protease inhibitor developed to provide a new treatment option for PI-experienced patients
  • Potent in vitro activity
    against both WT HIV-1
    and HIV-2, and the majority of multiple PI-resistant HIV-1
  • Requires co-administration with ritonavir
  • Available as a soft-gel capsule (250 mg)
10
Tipranavir
Development
  • Initial development by P & U; BI acquired in 2000
  • End of Phase II Meeting with FDA 17 December 2002
    • Concurrence with TPV/r dose selection of 500mg/200mg BID
    • Agreement on original clinical trial protocol design for pivotal Phase III trials
  • Tipranavir NDA for accelerated approval submitted to
    FDA 22 December 2004
    • Based on 24-week efficacy/safety data

11
Tipranavir
Clinical Development Program
  • 39 clinical trials
    • 25 trials by BI
      • 11 in HIV+ patients
      • 14 in HIV- subjects
  • Two nearly identical Phase III studies (RESIST) began in early 2003: 1485 patients, more than 270 sites, 21 countries
  • 1411 patients treated with the TPV/r 500/200 dose,
    1206 patients treated for at least 24 weeks
  • Pediatric and treatment-naïve adult studies ongoing
12
Tipranavir
Co-Administration with Ritonavir
  • TPV exposure markedly enhanced with RTV co-administration
  • Cytochrome P450 3A is the major metabolic pathway
  • TPV induces CYP 3A
  • TPV and RTV co-administration results in net inhibition of CYP 3A
13
Tipranavir
Combined with Ritonavir ADME
  • In Vitro
  • Using human microsomes, the inhibition potential for TPV had a rank order of:
    CYP 2C9 > CYP 3A4 > CYP 2C19 > CYP 2D6 > CYP 1A2
  • Absorption
  • Formulated in a “self-emulsifying drug delivery system” (SEDDS) for solubility
  • Food improves emulsification
  • TPV/r induces the P-gp efflux transporter system
  • Distribution
  • Protein binding >99.9%
  • Metabolism
  • Substrate for and inducer of the cytochrome P450 3A system
  • Must be taken with RTV to inhibit first pass effect
  • Predominantly unchanged drug measured in plasma, urine, and feces
  • Excretion
  • Half-life of 6 hours (TPV/r 500/200) in HIV+ patients
  • Majority excreted in feces
  • Less than 5% excreted in urine

Phase II-III Study Program
15
Tipranavir
Dose Finding Study Conclusions
  • 3 TPV/r doses (500/100, 500/200, 750/200) BID studied in 216 patients with 3-class and 2 PI-regimen experience
  • 500/200 dose selected for the Phase III trial program
    • 500/100 dose eliminated due to inferior efficacy in patients with drug resistant viruses and more variable PK results
    • 500/200 and 750/200 doses had similar efficacy and PK profiles
    • 750/200 dose eliminated due to a higher rate of Grade 3 / 4 ALT/AST elevations and treatment discontinuations
16
Tipranavir
Key Mutations
  • Mutations at codons 33, 82, 84 and 90 of HIV-1 protease
  • Were either selected in early in vitro or in vivo studies or seen in HIV-1 isolates with decreased susceptibility to tipranavir
  • In the Phase II program multiple mutations at these sites:
    • Associated with decreased TPV/r responses
    • Associated with broad, high level resistance to other PIs
      (SQV, IDV, LPV, APV)
  • Used to select patients unlikely to get a durable response to any single PI-based regimen who were offered dual-boosted PI regimens containing TPV

RESIST Studies
Key Design Issues
  • Challenging heterogeneous study population with limited
  • treatment options
  • Open label studies
  • Four treatment options for comparator arm PI
  • Efforts made to reduce potential for bias
  • Week 8 escape: patients in comparator arms could leave
  • and receive TPV in rollover study
  • Must have confirmed virologic failure
  • Could not roll over due to AEs only
  • Optimized background regimen (OBR)
  • Any available approved NRTIs or NNRTIs
  • ENF could be used
  • All drugs must be pre-declared prior to randomization
20
RESIST Studies
Key Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria
  • Inclusion
  • ³ 3 months’ therapy with NRTIs, NNRTIs, and PIs
    • ³ 2 PI regimens for ³ 3 consecutive months
    • One PI must be current regimen
  • Viral load ³ 1000 copies/mL on therapy, any CD4+ cell count
  • Baseline genotype ³ 1 primary PI mutation at codons:
    30N, 46I/L, 48V, 50V, 82A/F/L/T, 84V, or 90M
  • Exclusion
  • > 2 mutations at codons 33, 82, 84, or 90
  • DAIDS Grade > 1 safety labs (except lipids)
  • Expected survival less than 12 months

Screening and Randomization
22
RESIST Studies
24-Week Endpoints
  • Primary endpoint: treatment response defined as:
  • Confirmed ³ 1 log10 reduction in viral load from baseline
  • at 24 weeks without
  • Viral rebound
  • ARV treatment change
  • Study discontinuation
  • Death
  • Secondary efficacy endpoints
  • Change in viral load from baseline
  • Proportion of patients with VL < 50 and < 400 copies/mL
  • Change from baseline in CD4 cell count
  • AIDS progression events
23
RESIST Studies
Early Protocol Modification
  • Amendment #2 implemented prior to any patient randomizations
  • Allowed PIs that the genotype report interpreted as pan-resistant
  • Rationale
  • Interpretation guidelines changed just prior to study initiations
  • Resistance interpretation on genotype reports not based on RTV-boosting
  • Investigators had genotype results and expert consultation available to select optimal treatment regimen using any currently available ARVs
    • Each patient therefore received the best treatment available
      at the time of trial initiation
  • Study would have enrolled extremely slowly

Hepatic Monitoring and Management Recommendations
  • Routine clinical and laboratory monitoring to detect liver abnormalities is recommended
  • Patients with chronic hepatitis B or C, or elevated LFTs
    at initiation of TPV/r therapy, require more frequent clinical and laboratory monitoring
  • Patients who are symptomatic in the setting of elevated LFTs should have their TPV/r discontinued

TPV Mutation Score Development
  • Uni- and multivariate regression analyses used to correlate 291 Phase II baseline genotypes to TPV phenotype, and Week 2 or 24 VL reduction
  • Uni- and multivariate regression analyses then applied to
    569 Phase III baseline genotypes (RESIST) with phenotype and genotype to validate mutations selected by Phase II datasets
    • Reduced TPV susceptibility or reduced response associated
      with 21 mutations at 16 positions:
      • 10V, 13V, 20M/R/V, 33F, 35G, 36I, 43T, 46L, 47V, 54A/M/V, 58E, 69K, 74P, 82L/T, 83D, and 84V

Tipranavir Resistance
Conclusions
  • TPV has a high genetic barrier to resistance
  • TPV mutation score represents a unique group of protease gene mutations,
    and is most specific marker of TPV resistance
  • For TPV susceptibility:
    • £ 3-Fold WT Susceptible
    • > 3 to 10-Fold  Decreased Susceptibility
    • > 10-Fold Resistance

TPV Drug Level Conclusions
  • TPV trough levels > 6.5 uM associated with > 1 log VL response at 2 weeks
  • TPV trough levels > 120 uM associated with increased hepatic events
  • 93% of patients have TPV trough levels between 6.5-120 uM
  • Weak trends associating TPV trough levels with hepatic events and treatment responses
  • Large inter-patient variability will limit the utility of these measurements in clinical practice

75
Tipranavir
Conclusions
  • 24-week RESIST data supports accelerated approval for TPV/r
  • Greater reductions in viral load and increases in CD4 cells than
    the best alternative protease inhibitors in this patient population
  • Adverse events similar to other CPI/r with mainly GI side effects
  • Increased adverse event rates for LFT and lipid elevations
    • Routine clinical and laboratory monitoring for most patients.
      Patients with elevated LFTs or HBV/HCV co-infection should
      have increased monitoring.
  • Overall, TPV/r offers a significant new treatment option
  • for PI treatment-experienced patients
