About this study

Official title: Phase I Safety and Pharmacokinetic Study of Maraviroc in HIV-1-Exposed Infants at Risk of Acquiring HIV-1 Infection

This study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of maraviroc in infants at risk for mother-to-child HIV transmission, and to determine an appropriate dose of maraviroc during the first six weeks of life.

Read the detailed description

Maraviroc is a C-C Chemokine Receptor 5 (CCR5) receptor antagonist used to treat HIV infection in adults. Adding maraviroc to a standard of care prophylaxis regimen may also reduce the risk of perinatal transmission of HIV. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of maraviroc in HIV-1-exposed infants at risk for mother-to-child HIV transmission. This study also aimed to determine an appropriate dose of maraviroc during the first six weeks of life.

The study allowed up to 72 mother-infant pairs in two cohorts to achieve a target of 36 evaluable infants receiving the final recommended dose of maraviroc. Because maraviroc interacts with the antiretroviral drug efavirenz (EFV) in adults, infants in this study were stratified within the cohorts based on their exposure to maternal EFV. Cohort 1 was stratified by in utero exposure to maternal EFV, with infants in both strata receiving a single dose of maraviroc solution within three days of birth and another single dose at Week 1 of life. Stratum 1A included infants without in utero exposure to maternal EFV during the eight weeks immediately before delivery. Stratum 1B included infants with in utero exposure to maternal EFV for a minimum of two weeks immediately before delivery.

Cohort 2 was stratified by exposure to maternal EFV after birth, with infants in both strata receiving maraviroc oral solution twice daily starting within three days of birth and continuing for up to 42 days. Based on evaluation of the Cohort 1 data, the initial daily dose of maraviroc oral solution to be administered in Cohort 2 was 8 mg/kg dose given twice daily. Stratum 2A included infants without any exposure to maternal EFV either in utero during the eight weeks immediately before delivery or while breastfeeding. Stratum 2B included breastfeeding infants with exposure to maternal EFV both in utero and after birth while breastfeeding, for a minimum of 2 weeks immediately before delivery and while breastfeeding.

Participants attended an entry visit within three days after the infant's birth. Participants attended five to six study visits through Week 16. Visits included medical history reviews, physical examinations, blood collection from the mother and/or infant, HIV testing, and adherence counseling.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants Failing to Meet Safety Endpoint Related to Maraviroc for Dose-Finding

    Percentage (%) of failure and Clopper-Pearson 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Failure is defined as having: Any life threatening adverse event (AE), including death, assessed as at least possibly related to the study drug, AEs of Grade 3 or higher judged by the Core Protocol Team to be probably or definitely related to the study drug, or that result in permanent discontinuation of study drug due to an AE, judged by Core Protocol Team to be at least possibly related to study drug

    Measured: Cohort 1: Measured from first dose of maraviroc to 7 Day Post Dose Visit (up to 25 days). Cohort 2: Measured from first dose of maraviroc to Week 6 Visit (up to 42 days).

  2. Percentage of Participants Failing to Meet Safety Endpoint Related to Maraviroc for Analysis

    Percentage (%) of failure and Clopper-Pearson 95% CI. Failure is defined as: Any life threatening AE, including death, assessed as at least possibly related to the study drug, AEs of Grade 3 or higher judged by the Core Protocol Team to be probably or definitely related to the study drug, or that result in permanent discontinuation of study drug due to an AE, judged by Core Protocol Team to be at least possibly related to study drug

    Measured: Measured from first dose of maraviroc to Week 6 Visit (up to 42 days)

  3. Number of Participants Failing to Meet PK Target

    Number of failures. The pharmacokinetic (PK) target is Average Concentration (Cavg) greater than or equal to 75 ng/mL (based on a dose interval of every 12 hours). Failure is defined as Cavg <75 ng/mL at each intensive PK visit.

    For Cohort 1:

    For the Entry Visit, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and at 1-2, 4-8, 11-13, 20-24, and 48-72 hours post-dose. For the Week 1 Visit, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and 1-2 and 22-26 hours post-dose.

    For Cohort 2:

    For both intensive PK visits, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and 1-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 11-13 hours post-dose.

    Measured: Cohort 1: Measured at Entry (First visit) and Week 1 Visit (Second visit). Cohort 2: Measured at Week 1 (First visit) and Week 4 Visit (Second visit).

  4. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Average Concentration (Cavg)

    Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from plasma concentration-time profiles using non-compartmental methods (Phoenix 64, WinNonlin, Pharsight Corp., Mountain View, CA). Cavg was determined as the area-under-the-curve (AUC) divided by the dose interval, tau (τ) of every 12 hours.

    For Cohort 1:

    For the Entry Visit, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and at 1-2, 4-8, 11-13, 20-24, and 48-72 hours post-dose. For the Week 1 Visit, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and 1-2 and 22-26 hours post-dose.

    For Cohort 2:

    For both intensive PK visits, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and 1-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 11-13 hours post-dose.

    Measured: Cohort 1: Measured at Entry and Week 1 Visit. Cohort 2: Measured at Week 1 and Week 4 Visit

  5. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Area-under-the-curve (AUC)

    Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from plasma concentration-time profiles using non-compartmental methods (Phoenix 64, WinNonlin, Pharsight Corp., Mountain View, CA). For Cohort 1 (single doses), area-under-the-curve (AUC) was determined from time zero to infinity. For Cohort 2 (at steady-state), area-under-the-curve (AUC) was determined from time pre-dose to tau (12 hours).

    For Cohort 1:

    For the Entry Visit, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and at 1-2, 4-8, 11-13, 20-24, and 48-72 hours post-dose. For the Week 1 Visit, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and 1-2 and 22-26 hours post-dose.

    For Cohort 2:

    For both intensive PK visits, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and 1-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 11-13 hours post-dose.

    Measured: Cohort 1: Measured at Entry (First visit) and Week 1 Visit (Second visit). Cohort 2: Measured at Week 1 (First visit) and Week 4 Visit (Second visit).

  6. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Maximum Concentration (Cmax)

    Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from plasma concentration-time profiles. Cmax was the observed highest concentration.

    For Cohort 1:

    For the Entry Visit, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and at 1-2, 4-8, 11-13, 20-24, and 48-72 hours post-dose. For the Week 1 Visit, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and 1-2 and 22-26 hours post-dose.

    For Cohort 2:

    For both intensive PK visits, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and 1-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 11-13 hours post-dose.

    Measured: Cohort 1: Measured at Entry (First visit) and Week 1 Visit (Second visit). Cohort 2: Measured at Week 1 (First visit) and Week 4 Visit (Second visit).

  7. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Time of Maximum Concentration (Tmax)

    Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from plasma concentration-time profiles. Tmax was the time at which Cmax, the observed highest concentration, occurred.

    For Cohort 1:

    For the Entry Visit, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and at 1-2, 4-8, 11-13, 20-24, and 48-72 hours post-dose. For the Week 1 Visit, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and 1-2 and 22-26 hours post-dose.

    For Cohort 2:

    For both intensive PK visits, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and 1-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 11-13 hours post-dose.

    Measured: Cohort 1: Measured at Entry (First visit) and Week 1 Visit (Second visit). Cohort 2: Measured at Week 1 (First visit) and Week 4 Visit (Second visit).

  8. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Trough Concentration (Ctau)

    Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from plasma concentration-time profiles. Ctau was the observed concentration at the trough time of 12 hours post-dose with steady-state dosing.

    For Cohort 2:

    For both intensive PK visits, PK samples were drawn at: pre-dose and 1-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 11-13 hours post-dose.

    Measured: Measured at Week 1 and Week 4 Visit
