Safety/Effectiveness of Oral Chemokine Coreceptor 5 (CCR5) Antagonist INCB009471 in R5-tropic HIV Infected Patients

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study Exploring the Safety, Tolerability, PK & Virological Effect of Once Daily Oral Dosing of INCB009471 as Monotherapy for 14 Days in ARV-naïve/Limited ARV-experienced, HIV-1 Infected Pts.

This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of the CCR5 antagonist INCB009471 in HIV-1 infected patients who are antiretroviral therapy naïve, or who are not currently on a HAART regimen and have not received any antiretroviral agents for 3 months prior to the Screening visit. Subjects will receive study medication (INCB009471) admnistered orally or placebo once daily with food for 14 days. Clinical safety laboratories, 12-lead electrocardiograms, physical examinations and virologic assessments, including viral load, viral tropism and CD4+ cell count determinations will be performed at the Screening visit and at regularly scheduled visits throughout the study. A blood sample will also be obtained and stored to potentially determine the genotype of the CCR5 receptor.

The primary objectives are:

1. Assess the safety and tolerability of 3 doses of INCB009471 or placebo when administered orally, once daily, as monotherapy for 14 days;
2. Determine the pharmacokinetics of 3 doses of INCB009471 or placebo when administered orally, once daily, as monotherapy for 14 days;
3. Evaluate the anti-retroviral activity of 3 doses of INCB009471 or placebo when administered orally, once daily, as monotherapy for 14 days

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Asymptomatic HIV-1 infected individuals that are treatmen naïve (ie less than 2 weeks prior ARV exposure) or treatment experienced subjects who are not currently on HAART and have not received any ARVs for 3 months prior to Screening.

• Males between 18 years and 65 years of age, utilizing adequate contraceptive methods.
• Post menopausal or surgically sterile females between 18 years and 65 years of age. Women of childbearing potential, utilizing adequate contraceptive methods.
• CD4-lymphocyte count >350 cells/mm3

• HIV-1 is CCR5 tropic virus only.
• CCR5 antagonist treatment naive.
• BMI > 16 to < 32 kg/m2.
• Have no clinically significant findings on screening evaluations, which in the opinion of the Investigator would interfere with the subject's ability to comply with the protocol.

• Current treatment or treatment within 30 days or 5 half-lives with another investigational medication or current enrollment in another investigational drug protocol.
• Subjects with unstable medical condition (s), which , in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise their participation in the trial

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Time Frame
Safety and tolerability will be assessed by monitoring adverse experiences.	Baseline, every 1-7 days following the initiation of treatment through Day 28 and then at Day 42 or the early study termination visit.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Time Frame
The virological response to INCB009471 as monotherapy will be assessed by measuring HIV-1 RNA levels by the Roche Amplicor HIV-1 Monitor® Test, v1.5 - Quantitative.	Baseline, Days 4, 7, 10, 14, 16, 20 and 28 or the early termination study visit.
