HIV Infections
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for HIV Infections
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Main inclusion criteria for the study are:
- HIV-1 infected adults, men and women at least 18 years of age.
- 3-class (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), and protease inhibitor (PI)) treatment-experienced (min of 3-months duration for each class) with resistance to more than one PI (on screening resistance testing). NNRTI-naïve patients who have genotypically documented NNRTI-resistance mutations on past or screening resistance testing would be eligible.
- CD4+ T lymphocyte count >=50 cells/mm3.
- HIV-1 viral load >=1,000 copies/mL at screening.
- The antiretroviral (ARV) study treatment regimen must consist of TPV/r in combo with an optimized background regimen (OBR) of 2-4 agents: N(t)RTIs (NRTI or NtRTI), enfuvirtide (ENF), and/or, where available, a trial approved expanded access program (EAP) investigational agent.
- Acceptable screening laboratory values that indicate adequate baseline organ function.
- Acceptable medical history with a chest X-ray without evidence of active disease and an electrocardiogram (ECG) without clinically important abnormalities within one year of the study.
- A reliable method of barrier contraception will be used by all female patients who are of childbearing potential.
Exclusion Criteria:
Main exclusion criteria for the study are:
- Known hypersensitivity to the tipranavir (TPV) or ritonavir (RTV).
- ARV medication naïve.
- Genotypic resistance to TPV (defined as a TPV mutation score >7).
- Patients on recent drug holiday, defined as off antiretroviral (ARV) medications for at least 7 consecutive days within the month prior to screening.
- Prior tipranavir use.
- Inability to adhere to the requirements of the protocol.
- Patients with prior history of hemorrhagic stroke or intracranial aneurysm.
- Patients with a history of ischemic stroke, neurosurgery or skull trauma within 4 weeks prior to screening.
- History of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy, Visceral Kaposi's Sarcoma, and/or any malignancy.
- Any acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) defining illness that is unresolved, symptomatic or not stable on treatment for at least 12 weeks at screening visit.

Standard of Care (SoC)
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM)
Standard of Care (SOC) Arm = Tipranavir/ritonavir (TPV/r) capsules taken orally at a dose of 500 mg/200 mg twice a day (BID) plus optimized background regimen (OBR). No TPV/r dose changes were permitted.
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) Arm = Patients began by receiving standard of care (SOC) tipranavir/ritonavir (TPV/r) capsules orally at a dose of 500 mg/200 mg twice a day (BID) plus optimized background regimen (OBR) followed, if needed, by TPV or ritonavir (RTV) dose adjustments at Week 4, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26 and 30 based on viral response, phenotypic inhibitory quotient (IQ), and TPV trough concentrations.
