Design Objective –Non inferiority of the monotherapy group in the proportion of patients with HIV-1 RNA < 50 c/mL at W48 without modification of treatment (per-protocol analysis) ; lower limit of two-sided 90% CI for the difference = - 12%, 80% power –Patients lost to follow-up or with no HIV-1 RNA value at W48 were considered as failures (missing = failure) Continuation current triple antiretroviral therapy (CART) LPV/r 400/100 mg bid Randomisation* 1 : 1 Open-label HIV+ ≥ 18 years On stable cART > 3 months No history of prior virologic failure on PI HIV-1 RNA 6 months N = 87 N = 99 W48 KALESOLO Study: Switch to LPV/r monotherapy Meynard JL, JAC 2010;65: KALESOLO * Randomisation was stratified by centre, and ongoing treatment (LPV/r, PI other than LPV/r, NNRTI)

KALESOLO Study: Switch to LPV/r monotherapy Multivariate analysis: treatment failure was not associated with adherence to therapy but was associated with older age at baseline Of samples with HIV-1 RNA > 50 c/mL, 20 genotypes from 14 patients (all in the LPV/r monotherapy group) could be analysed: 1 patient developed major PI resistance mutation, no patient developed mutations conferring resistance to LPV/r For lipids, fasting total cholesterol changes were significantly higher in the LPV/r monotherapy group ( mmol/L vs mmol/L ; p = 0.04) None of the 12 serious adverse events were drug-related Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities occurred in 3 patients in each group Diarrhoea was more frequent in the LPV/r monotherapy group (N = 34 vs N = 13 ; p < 0.001) Other outcomes Meynard JL, JAC 2010;65: KALESOLO
KALESOLO Study: Switch to LPV/r monotherapy Conclusions –In patients with virologic suppression, by per-protocol analysis, LPV/r monotherapy did not achieve non inferiority versus continuation of current antiretroviral regimen for maintaining HIV-1 RNA < 50 c/mL –The incidence of virologic failure was low and successfully managed by treatment reintensification Meynard JL, JAC 2010;65: KALESOLO
