3 No Sign of Pandemic Abating Issues  No vaccines on horizon  Resistance to ARV drugs increasing  Western World - re-invigorate public health campaigns - new ARV to address resistance & compliance  Developing World - ARV to break infection cycle - healthcare infrastructure & public education - economic stability - global political leadership

5 1. Prevention of progressive immunodeficiency; potential maintenance or reconstruction of a normal immune system 2. Control of viral replication and mutation; reduce viral burden Goals of Antiretroviral Treatment Delayed progression to AIDS and prolongation of life Decreased risk of selection of resistant virus

6 Anti-Retroviral Therapy  Explosion in HIV research since 1980 & AZT in 1987  But…HIV challenging target - obligate parasite, so few viral targets - high mutation rate & genetic plasticity  > 20 approved agents but only 4 targets  Combination therapy (at least 3 agents) = HAART introduced in reduce propensity to resistance

7 Genetic Plasticity  10 9 new virions produced daily  One mutation during every replication cycle per cellular genome  Genetic plasticity enables HIV to: - evade immune system - develop resistance to ARV - produce mutants with different ‘fitness’  Multiple strains co-exist & are archived in patients’ immune cells

10 Problems with HAART  HAART = HIV chronic disease & saves lives  But… most agents designed for acute disease  HAART has considerable drawbacks: - toxicity & side effects - drug interactions - high pill burden & inconvenient dosing  Tox. & inconvenient dosing reduce compliance  Resistance emerges within 6 months to 5 years - up to 27% of newly diagnosed HIV is resistant

11 Requirements on HIV medicines Ideal features of an antiretroviral agent: - low dose - convenient regimen - better toleration - non cross resistant - new mechanisms & targets - low COG = compliance & durability

22 HIV-1 Tropism Assays: MT-2 Cell Assay  Indirect measure of co-receptor use -Depends on the presence of X4 or R5/X4 isolates  Uses viral stocks from stimulated patient lymphocytes Results are reader dependent and involve the interpretation of typical cytopathic changes  Limitations HIV derived from stimulated lymphocytes may differ from that of plasma virus Qualitative nature of the assay result Detection of CXCR4 only Moore JP, et al. AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses. 2004;20: DAIDS Virology Manual for HIV Laboratories Publication NIH U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, DC.

23 MT2 cell assay  Prior to the discovery of the role that CCR5 and CXCR4 play in viral entry, viruses were characterized by ability to infect T-cells and cause syncytium formation MT-2 cell lines were used MT-2 cells express only CXCR4  Syncytium inducing (SI) Changed to CXCR4-using virus  Non-syncytium inducing (NSI) Changed to CCR5-using virus Schuitemaker H, et al. J Virol. 1991;65: Japour AJ. J Clin Microbiol. 1994;32: Syncytium Formation in MT-2 Cells

24 HIV-1 Tropism Assays: Recombinant Phenotypic Assays  Direct measure of co-receptor use Infect engineered cell lines to determine co-receptor utilization  Obtained by RT-PCR from patient plasma sample  Virus stocks pseudotyped with envelope sequences derived from patient plasma samples  Limitations >500 copies/mL May fail to detect X4 when X4 virus constitutes <10% of the viral population Sequence variation may result in assay failure Coakley E, et al. Curr Opin Infect Dis. 2005;18:9-15.

42 Impact of Current Antiretroviral Agents on R5 and X4 Virus Dynamics  In 3 cohorts, patients on HAART who were X4 or X4/R5 tropic showed a: 1-4 Preferential suppression of X4 Shift from X4 to R5 Loss of X4 from T-cell reservoirs in some cases Treatment experience associated with greater risk of X4 in some cohorts 5  Acquisition of X4 virus in 8 persons homozygous for  32 6 Rapid initial CD4 decline Established wide variation in viral load “set point” Rapid progression not invariable Suggested behavior of X4 virus less pathogenic than in late stage Is X4 cause or effect of progression? 1 Skrabel K, et al.

43 Data summary

44 CCR5 Antagonists: Potential Advantages  Inhibit entry of HIV-1 into host cells  Activity against viral strains resistant to current agents  Human protein target versus viral gene target  Extracellular mechanism of action

45 Challenges in CCR5 Antagonist Use  Utility may be related to disease stage, rather than treatment experience Higher prevalence of X4 virus in patients with advanced disease Trends toward later initiation of therapy may limit utility of CCR5 antagonists  Clinical trials underway to address: Long-term safety of CCR5 inhibition Frequency/risk/implications of X4 emergence/unmasking Risk/benefit in patients with mixed infection  Possible need for laboratory monitoring of viral tropism?

46 Possible scenarios  Noninferiority proven  New class Unknown risks  Laboratory issues  ‘Superiority’ proven  Salvage – as part of last viable regimen  NRTI sparing  Substitution studies
