Mortality Data
  • 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)

15
Hy’s Law Summary
  • 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
16
Case History
  • 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).

AEs Potentially Associated with QT Prolongation During Double-Blind Period (Studies 1027 and 1028)

    • Attempts to resolve this issue are underway


  • MedDRA terms: Arrhythmia, Palpitations, Syncope, Tachycardia

  • 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

Primary Efficacy Endpoint (Week 24)
Sensitivity Analyses
  • 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
