Darunavir/r Versus Other PIs in Treatment-Experienced Patients
Explore the comparison between darunavir/r and other protease inhibitors in treatment-experienced HIV patients with PI resistance. Two phase 2b trials evaluated the efficacy and safety, showing promising results at week 48 in terms of virologic response and HIV RNA reduction.

Darunavir/r versus Other PIs in Treatment Experienced POWER 1 and 2
Darunavir/r versus other PIs in Treatment-Experienced POWER 1 and 2: Study Design Study Design: POWER 1 and 2 Background: Two randomized, phase 2b trials to compare the efficacy and safety of ritonavir-boosted darunavir with other protease inhibitors in treatment- experienced HIV-infected patients with PI resistance Darunavir BID + RTV BID + OBR (n = 131) Inclusion Criteria (n = 155) - Age 18 - HIV RNA >1000 copies/mL - On PI-containing regimen - History of taking >1 NRTI, and 1 NNRTI as part of failing regimen - At least 1 primary PI mutation at screening Control PI + RTV + OBR (n =124) Treatment Arms - Darunavir 600 mg BID + Ritonavir 100 mg bid + OBR* - Investigator-selected control PI + OBR* *OBR = Optimized background regimen: 2 NRTIs +/- enfurvirtide Source: Clotet B, et al.

Darunavir/r versus other PIs in Treatment-Experienced POWER 1 and 2: Conclusions Interpretation: Efficacy responses with darunavir-ritonavir 600/100 mg twice daily plus optimised background regimen were greater than those with control PI and were sustained to at least week 48, with favourable safety and tolerability in treatment-experienced patients. This regimen could expand the treatment options available for such patients. Source: Clotet B, et al. Lancet. 2007;369:1169-78.
