PRINCE: Study of Atazanavir (ATV)/Ritonavir (RTV)

AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization.

ALT=alanine aminotransferase; SGPT=serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase; AST=aspartate aminotransferase; SGOT=serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase; ULN=upper limit of normal.

Neutrophils, absolute (/mm^3): Gr 1=>=1000-<1500; Gr 2= >=750-<1000; Gr 3=>=500-<750; Gr 4=<500. ALT/SGPT (*ULN): Gr 1=1.25-2.5; Gr 2=2.6-5; Gr 3=5.1-10; Gr 4=>10. AST/SGOT (*ULN): Gr 1=1.25-2.5; Gr 2=2.6-5; Gr 3=5.1-10; Gr 4=>10. Alkaline phosphatase(*ULN): Gr 1=1.25-2.5; Gr 2=2.6-5: Gr 3=5.1-10; Gr 4=>10. Total bilirubin (*ULN): Gr 1=1.1-1; Gr 2=1.6-2.5; Gr 3=2.6-5; Gr 4=>5. Amylase (*ULN): Gr 1=1.10-39; Gr 2=1.40-2; Gr 3=2.10-5.0; Gr 4=>5.0. Lipase (*ULN): Gr 1=1.10-1.39: Gr 2=1.40-2; Gr 3=2.10-5.0; Gr 4=>5.0. Uric acid (mg/dL): Gr 1=7.5-10.0; Gr 2=10.1-12.0; Gr 3=12.1-15.0; Gr 4=>15.

Electrocardiogram parameters were measured at baseline for QTC Bazett, QTC Fridericia, and PR interval. The mean change from baseline at week 48 is reported by arm in milliseconds.

CDC Class C events are AIDS-defining events that include recurrent bacterial pneumonia (>=2 episodes in 12 months); candidiasis of the bronchi, trachea, lungs, or esophagus; invasive cervical carcinoma; disseminated or extrapulmonary coccidioidomycosis; extrapulmonary cryptococcosis; chronic intestinal cryptosporidiosis (>1 month); cytomegalovirus disease; HIV-related encephalopathy; herpes simplex: chronic ulcers, or bronchitis, pneumonitis, or esophagitis; disseminated or extrapulmonary histoplasmosis; chronic intestinal isosporiasis; Kaposi sarcoma; immunoblastic or primary brain Burkitt lymphoma; mycobacterium avium complex, kansasii, or tuberculosis; mycobacterium, other species; Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia; progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy; Salmonella septicemia; recurrent toxoplasmosis of brain; HIV wasting syndrome (involuntary weight loss >10% of baseline body weight) with chronic diarrhea or chronic weakness and documented fever for ≥1 month.

The definition of virologic success included HIV RNA levels <50 c/mL or 400 c/mL at the Week 48 analysis window. .

The definition of virologic success included HIV RNA levels <50 c/mL or <400 c/mL at the Week 48 analysis.

Participants who received at least 1 dose of atazanavir (ATV) and had an HIV RNA measurement on ATV powder at did not switch to the capsule formulation before Week 48

Criteria for resistance testing= meeting at least 1 of the following: <1 log10 drop from baseline in HIV RNA level by Week 16 and confirmed by a second HIV RNA level; an HIV RNA level >200 copies/mL after Week 24, confirmed by a second HIV RNA level; repeated HIV RNA levels ≥50 copies/mL after Week 48; an HIV RNA level ≥400 copies/mL confirmed by a second HIV RNA level of ≥400 copies/mL at any time in a participant who had previously achieved a plasma HIV RNA level <50 copies/mL; or discontinued due to lack of efficacy. Virologic failure was defined as an incomplete virologic response to therapy or as a viral rebound after the achievement of virologic suppression. The phenotypic resistance to a drug is defined as a fold change (ie, ratio of the 50% inhibitory concentration [IC50] of the clinical isolate to the IC50 of the reference strain) greater than the cut-off for reduced susceptibility.

Calculated as dose divided by AUC(TAU). AUC(TAU)=area under the concentration-time curve in 1 dosing interval from time 0 to 24 hours post observed dose.

Calculated as CLT/F divided by body weight
