- Numerical increase in mortality in MVC arms overall, however:
- Imbalance occurred in only 1 of 4 trials
- Degree of imbalance extremely small (for double-blind phase, p-value
0.60, Barnard's unconditional exact test)
- No clustering of death causes
- Types of deaths were consistent with the population studied
- Sick population at baseline (there were 11 additional deaths between
screening and randomization)

- Hy’s Law
- AST or ALT >= 3x ULN
- TB >= 2x ULN
- No marked increase in alkaline phosphatase
- No evidence of another cause
- Predicts a 10-50% likelihood of death or liver transplant
- No Hy’s Law cases were observed

- The subject is a 43 year-old woman with history of injection drug use,
alcoholism, and hepatitis C who received MVC for 203 days. On enrollment, she was HBsAg negative,
HBcAb negative, HCV RNA positive, and reported drinking 5 alcoholic
beverages per week. Her baseline
AST and ALT were elevated at 101 and 43 IU/L. There were no substantive increases
from these baseline LFT values through Day 169. Her baseline total bilirubin was
normal at 1.1 mg/dL, but peaked at 5.2 mg/dL on Day 15. The bilirubin subsequently decreased
from the peak level and was normal at the last measurement on Day
169. Of note, her total bilirubin
was 2.3 mg/dL 41 days prior to starting MVC (peak direct and indirect
bilirubin levels were abnormal at 3.3 and 1.9 mg/dL, respectively). She started atazanavir 537 days prior
to MVC, and stopped on the day that MVC was started. She had 3 reported liver AEs during
her study participation (grade 3 increase in bilirubin on two occasions,
and grade 1 hepatosplenomegaly once).

- Preclinical testing revealed potential for QT prolongation
- A previous CCR5 antagonist (“Schering C”) found to cause QT prolongation
- Thorough QT study for MVC determined to be inadequate
- No significant prolongation with MVC, but control arm was not
interpretable
- Attempts to resolve this issue are underway
- MedDRA terms: Arrhythmia, Palpitations, Syncope, Tachycardia
- 14 patients with potential ventricular events:
- MVC QD 4 (1.0%)
- MVC BID 7 (1.6%)
- Placebo 3 (1.4%)

- No increase in mortality or malignancy observed
- No clear evidence of hepatotoxicity, but this was a complicated patient
population with a high rate of liver abnormalities at baseline.
- Infections
- No evidence of increase overall
- Possible increase in Candida, Herpes, and influenza infections
- Possible increase in cardiac ischemic events
- Possible increase in myositis
- Mild increase in total cholesterol and LDL levels

- Analysis 1: Using both on- and off- treatment HIV-1 VL data
- MVC-QD -Placebo: -0.50 (-0.90,-0.10)
- MVC-BID-Placebo: -0.49 (-0.90,-0.09)
- Analysis 2: Completers through Week 24
- MVC-QD-Placebo: -0.48 (-0.93,-0.02)
- MVC-BID-Placebo: -0.54 (-0.99,-0.09)
- Analysis 3: Imputing a single value (-0.4 to 0.3 by 0.1) to missing
- Results are similar to the sponsor’s sensitivity analyses
- The imputed value is the median for the placebo
- MVC-QD-Placebo: -0.79~0.97
- MVC-BID-Placebo: -0.88~1.06
- All 99.95% CIs support the superiority of MVC
