IAC 2006 Abs# THLB0214 MK-0518: Strand Transfer Inhibitor of HIV Integrase HIV integrase inhibition: a new mechanism of action MK-0518: potent in vitro activity IC 95 = 33 nM 23 nM in 50% human serum Preclinical evaluation favorable Metabolism primarily via glucuronidation (UGT1A1) Not a potent inhibitor or inducer of CYP3A4 Does not require “ritonavir boosting” Phase I and drug interaction data support: –Dosing 100 - 800 mg po bid without regard to food At 100mg b.i.d, mean C 12hr > IC 95 –No dose adjustment when used with other ARTs

Protocol 004: Part II Design Part I patients continued at same dose in Part II (pbo→efv) ~150 additional patients randomized for Part II Key inclusion criteria –Susceptible to EFV, 3TC, TFV (by genotype) –No prior ART (<7 days OK) – HIV RNA ≥ 5000 copies/mL baseline stratification for HIV RNA ≤ or > 50,000 copies/mL –CD4 ≥ 100 cells/mm 3 Endpoints –HIV RNA and CD4 counts, Adverse experiences Hypotheses: MK-0518 + TFV/3TC –will be generally safe and well tolerated –will have similar antiretroviral activity vs efavirenz + TFV/3TC

IAC 2006 Abs# THLB0214 Protocol 004: Safety MK-0518 safety profile was similar to efavirenz (both with TFV/3TC) Most clinical adverse experiences (AE) were mild to moderate 8 serious adverse experiences overall (7/160 or 4% in the 4 MK groups, 1/38 or 3% in EFV group); none considered drug related One discontinuation for increased AST/ALT Grade 3 / 4 lab abnormalities uncommon

IAC 2006 Abs# THLB0214 Conclusion MK-0518 is a promising new strand transfer inhibitor of HIV integrase with potent and durable antiretroviral effect. In treatment naïve patients with HIV RNA ≥ 5000 copies/ml and CD4 ≥ 100/mm 3, MK-0518 at all doses studied for 24 weeks had potent antiretroviral activity » 85-95% with HIV RNA < 50 copies/mL » achieved viral suppression faster than EFV was generally well tolerated
