Abstract

Background

The T-20 vs. Optimized Regimen Only Study 2 (TORO 2) compared the efficacy and safety of 24 weeks of treatment with the fusion inhibitor enfuvirtide in combination with an optimized background antiretroviral regimen with the efficacy and safety of the optimized background regimen alone.

Methods

The patients had previous treatment with each of the three classes of antiretroviral drugs, documented resistance to each class, or both and a plasma level of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA of at least 5000 copies per milliliter. They were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either enfuvirtide (90 mg twice daily) plus a background regimen optimized with the aid of resistance testing (enfuvirtide group) or the background regimen alone (control group).

Results

Of the 512 patients who underwent randomization, 335 in the enfuvirtide group and 169 in the control group received at least one dose of study medication and had at least one follow-up measurement of plasma HIV-1 RNA. The median base-line plasma HIV-1 RNA level was 5.1 log10 copies per milliliter in both groups. The median CD4+ cell count was 98.0 cells per cubic millimeter in the enfuvirtide group and 101.5 cells per cubic millimeter in the control group. Patients had a median of seven years of previous treatment and had received a median of 12 antiretroviral drugs. The background regimen comprised a mean of four antiretroviral drugs in both groups. At 24 weeks, the least-squares mean change from base line in the plasma viral load (intention-to-treat, last observation carried forward) was a decrease of 1.429 log10 copies per milliliter in the enfuvirtide group and a decrease of 0.648 log10 copies per milliliter in the control group, a difference of 0.781 log10 copies per milliliter (P<0.001). The mean increase in the CD4+ cell count was greater in the enfuvirtide group (65.5 cells per cubic millimeter) than in the control group (38.0 cells per cubic millimeter, P=0.02).

Conclusions

The addition of enfuvirtide to an optimized background regimen provided significant viral suppression and immunologic benefit over a 24-week period in HIV-1–infected patients who had previously received multiple antiretroviral drugs.

Article

The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy has proved extremely successful over the past several years.1,2 However, in about 50 percent of patients, viral suppression is incomplete, and patients are obliged to switch from one combination of antiretroviral drugs to another to combat resistant virus.3 Cross-resistance within each of the three classes of approved antiretroviral drugs is extensive and often limits the treatment options for patients who are receiving their third or fourth regimen.4-6 New classes of drugs directed at targets other than the reverse transcriptase or protease would be of great benefit.

Enfuvirtide (previously known as T-20) is a synthetic 36-amino-acid peptide that binds to the first heptad-repeat region (HR1) of envelope glycoprotein 41 of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), a protein that is critical for the fusion of the virus with the cell membrane.7 In phase 1 and 2 clinical trials, enfuvirtide reduced the plasma viral load and was well tolerated when given as short-term monotherapy or as part of long-term combination therapy in patients who had previously been treated with multiple antiretroviral drugs.8-12

In the T-20 vs. Optimized Regimen Only Study 2 (TORO 2), a randomized, controlled phase 3 study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of enfuvirtide therapy in combination with an optimized background antiretroviral regimen in patients who had been treated with multiple antiretroviral drugs, including drugs in all currently available antiretroviral classes. The trial was conducted in centers throughout Europe and Australia. A similar study was conducted in North America and Brazil (the T-20 vs. Optimized Regimen Only Study 1 [TORO 1]).13

Methods

Study Design and Patients

We conducted a randomized, open-label, controlled, parallel-group, phase 3 study involving 67 investigators in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Sweden. The study design, patient-selection criteria, conduct, monitoring, and protocol-specific analyses were identical to those of the TORO 1 trial,13 except for two minor differences in the criteria for inclusion. Patients included in the study were HIV-1–infected adults (defined as persons at least 16 years of age) with a plasma HIV-1 RNA level of at least 5000 copies per milliliter and at least three months of previous treatment with at least one antiretroviral drug from each of the three currently approved classes, demonstrated resistance to each class, or both (whereas TORO 1 required at least six months of previous treatment and treatment with at least two protease inhibitors). Patients provided written informed consent, and the protocol and the provisions for informed consent were reviewed and approved by the independent ethics committee or institutional review board at each center.

Patients were randomly assigned to receive enfuvirtide (90 mg subcutaneously twice daily) plus an optimized background regimen of three to five antiretroviral drugs (enfuvirtide group) or the optimized background regimen alone (control group). Changes to the treatment regimen were permitted for the management of toxic effects or in the event of virologic failure. Virologic failure was defined by one of the following: a decrease from base line in the plasma HIV-1 RNA level of less than 0.5 log10 copies per milliliter on two or three consecutive measurements after week 6, with at least 14 days between the first and last measurements; a decrease from base line of less than 1.0 log10 copies per milliliter on such consecutive measurements after week 14; or a decrease from base line of at least 2.0 log10 copies per milliliter on such consecutive measurements, followed by a rebound of more than 1.0 log10 copies per milliliter from the average of the two lowest values (not necessarily consecutive) after week 6. Patients who had virologic failure after week 8 were allowed to undergo repeated genotypic and phenotypic resistance testing and encouraged to modify their background regimen; if they were in the control group, they could also add enfuvirtide to their regimen.

Efficacy Analysis

The primary efficacy analysis was conducted at week 24 in the intention-to-treat population, defined as patients who had received at least one dose of study medication and had at least one follow-up measurement of plasma HIV-1 RNA. The primary efficacy end point was the reduction in the plasma HIV-1 RNA level, and secondary efficacy end points included the categorical virologic response, the time to virologic response, the time to virologic failure, and changes in the CD4+ and CD8+ cell counts. Three categories of virologic response were defined on the basis of the plasma HIV-1 RNA load at week 24: less than 50 copies per milliliter, less than 400 copies per milliliter, or a decrease from base line of at least 1.0 log10 copies per milliliter, on two consecutive measurements.

Safety Analysis

The safety analysis was conducted in the population of all patients who had received at least one dose of study medication and had follow-up data on safety. Safety end points included adverse events, serious adverse events (including death), adverse events leading to premature withdrawal from the study, injection-site reactions, results of clinical laboratory tests (hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis), results on electrocardiography, and vital signs. An additional updated safety analysis combining data from the two phase 3 studies (TORO 1 and TORO 2) has been conducted.13

Results

Study Population

A total of 512 patients were enrolled and underwent randomization between February 2001 and July 2001. Three patients randomly assigned to the enfuvirtide group and 1 randomly assigned to the control group withdrew their consent and never received any study medication, leaving 338 subjects in the enfuvirtide group and 170 in the control group (Figure 1Figure 1Disposition of All Randomized Patients to Week 24.). Of the patients who received at least one dose of the study drugs, one patient in each group had neither follow-up data on safety nor a post-treatment measurement of plasma HIV-1 RNA, and two additional patients in the enfuvirtide group had no post-treatment measurement of plasma HIV-1 RNA. Thus, the intention-to-treat population comprised 335 patients in the enfuvirtide group and 169 patients in the control group, and the population for the safety analysis comprised 337 patients in the enfuvirtide group and 169 patients in the control group.

In the intention-to-treat population, 130 patients in the control group (76.9 percent) met the protocol-defined criteria for virologic failure between week 8 and week 24. Of these patients, 114 (87.7 percent) switched to enfuvirtide. In the enfuvirtide group, 165 patients (49.3 percent) had virologic failure by week 24. A total of 57 patients in the enfuvirtide group (17.0 percent) withdrew from the study by week 24, as did 8 of the 55 patients in the control group who had continued to receive the background regimen alone (14.5 percent) and 9 of the patients in the control group who had switched to enfuvirtide (7.9 percent).

Demographic and Base-Line Characteristics

The demographic characteristics of the intention-to-treat population were similar in the two treatment groups (Table 1Table 1Demographic and Base-Line Characteristics of the Patients in the Intention-to-Treat Population.). The two groups were also well balanced in terms of previous antiretroviral therapy, with both groups having previous exposures to a median of 12 antiretroviral drugs for a median of seven years. The majority of patients had received treatment with at least five nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (84.5 percent in the enfuvirtide group and 89.9 percent in the control group), at least two nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (56.7 percent in the enfuvirtide group and 58.6 percent in the control group), and at least five protease inhibitors (51.9 percent in the enfuvirtide group and 53.8 percent in the control group). The percentage of patients who had been treated with lopinavir–ritonavir was higher in the enfuvirtide group than in the control group (60.6 percent vs. 52.1 percent). A small percentage of patients in each treatment group had been treated with tenofovir (4.5 percent in the enfuvirtide group and 1.8 percent in the control group).

Mutations associated with resistance to protease inhibitors, nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors, and nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors were found in at least 85 percent, more than 90 percent, and more than 75 percent of patients, respectively, and base-line genotypic and phenotypic sensitivity scores indicated that HIV from the majority of patients was sensitive to fewer than two of the antiretroviral drugs in their background regimen (Table 1).

The mean (±SD) number of drugs in the optimized background regimen was 3.8±0.8 in the enfuvirtide group and 3.9±0.9 in the control group. The percentage of patients using lopinavir–ritonavir was slightly lower in the enfuvirtide group (35.8 percent [120 patients]) than in the control group (42.0 percent [71 patients]). Otherwise, the two groups were similar in terms of patterns of use of antiretroviral drugs in the background regimen.

Virologic Response

At week 24, the least-squares mean change from base line in the plasma HIV-1 RNA level in the intention-to-treat population was a decrease of 1.429 log10 copies per milliliter in the enfuvirtide group and a decrease of 0.648 log10 copies per milliliter in the control group — a significant difference of 0.781 log10 copies per milliliter favoring the enfuvirtide group (P<0.001) (Table 2Table 2Efficacy in the Intention-to-Treat Population at Week 24.).

Two modified sensitivity analyses with the last observation carried forward, one in which the change from base line in the viral load was set at zero for patients who withdrew from the study and one in which it was set at zero for both patients who withdrew and patients who had virologic failure, also showed a significant difference in favor of the enfuvirtide group (P<0.001). In a cohort analysis, the least-squares mean differences favored the enfuvirtide group at all time points up to week 24, and the differences were significant (P<0.05) at weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16.

At week 24, a greater proportion of patients in the enfuvirtide group than in the control group were classified as having a virologic response according to each of the three criteria for response (Table 2). Similar differences between the treatment groups were also seen at week 8 and were significant for all categories of virologic response except a plasma HIV-1 RNA level of less than 50 copies per milliliter.

The enfuvirtide group also had a significantly shorter time to virologic response than the control group when the criterion for a response was an HIV-1 RNA level below 400 copies per milliliter (P<0.001 by the log-rank test) and when the criterion was a decrease from base line in the plasma HIV-1 RNA level of at least 1.0 log10 copies per milliliter (P<0.001 by the log-rank test). The median time to a virologic response defined as an HIV-1 RNA level of less than 400 copies per milliliter was estimated as 113 days in the enfuvirtide group and could not be estimated in the control group. The median time to a decrease from base line in the plasma HIV-1 RNA level of 1.0 log10 copies per milliliter was estimated to be nine days in the enfuvirtide group; in the control group, the time to this threshold for virologic response could not be estimated.

The percentage of patients with protocol-defined virologic failure was much lower in the enfuvirtide group than in the control group at week 8 (19.1 percent vs. 40.2 percent) and remained so at week 24 (49.3 percent vs. 76.9 percent). The time to protocol-defined virologic failure differed significantly between treatment groups (P<0.001 by the log-rank test) (Figure 2Figure 2Kaplan–Meier Estimates of Time to Virologic Failure, as of Week 24.); the median time to failure was approximately 71 days in the control group and could not be estimated in the enfuvirtide group.

Immunologic Response

In both groups, the CD4+ cell count increased between base line and all time points from week 4 through week 24, with consistently greater increases in the enfuvirtide group. At week 24, the least-squares mean increase from base line in the CD4+ cell count was significantly greater in the enfuvirtide group than in the control group (65.5 cells per cubic millimeter vs. 38.0 cells per cubic millimeter) (Table 2). The CD8+ cell counts increased in both groups, and the least-squares mean change from base line to week 24 in the CD8+ cell count was similar in the two groups.

Safety

Local Injection-Site Reactions

Nearly all enfuvirtide-treated patients (97.6 percent) had at least one injection-site reaction, with most having their first such reaction during the first week of the study. Of the 315 patients who reported pain or discomfort from injection-site reactions, 120 (38.1 percent) had mild tenderness at the injection site and 163 (51.7 percent) had moderate pain without limitation of usual activities. The most common signs and symptoms of injection-site reactions were induration, seen in 318 patients (94.4 percent); erythema, seen in 306 patients (90.8 percent); and nodules and cysts, seen in 237 patients (70.3 percent). Only 11 patients (3.3 percent) in the enfuvirtide group and 3 patients in the control group who switched to enfuvirtide (2.6 percent) discontinued treatment with enfuvirtide owing to injection-site reactions.

Adverse Events

After 24 weeks of treatment, the adverse-event profiles (excluding injection-site reactions) in the two treatment groups were similar and were generally consistent with common side effects of antiretroviral medication, underlying HIV infection, or both. Aside from injection-site reactions, 241 patients in the enfuvirtide group (71.5 percent) had at least one adverse event that was considered to be related to the study medication, as compared with 114 patients in the control group (67.5 percent). The most frequently reported treatment-related adverse events in both groups were diarrhea and nausea (Table 3Table 3Frequent Treatment-Related Adverse Events at Week 24.). Most treatment-related adverse events were mild or moderate, and their rates differed between treatment groups by less than 5 percentage points. Overall, 106 patients in the enfuvirtide group (31.5 percent) and 38 patients in the control group (22.5 percent) had at least one severe adverse event. The higher percentage of severe adverse events in the enfuvirtide group was not attributable to any specific type of event.

Adverse events led to withdrawal from the study by 26 patients in the enfuvirtide group (7.7 percent) and 2 patients in the control group (1.2 percent). The most frequent adverse event leading to withdrawal was depression (in six patients, all in the enfuvirtide group [1.8 percent]). Vomiting and hypersensitivity each led to the withdrawal of two patients in the enfuvirtide group (0.6 percent). All other adverse events that led to withdrawal occurred in only one patient in either treatment group. Eight patients in the control group who switched to enfuvirtide (7.0 percent) had adverse events that began after the switch to enfuvirtide and subsequently led to withdrawal; each type of event that led to withdrawal was reported by only one patient.

The percentages of patients who died (1.8 percent [6 patients] in the enfuvirtide group and 0.6 percent [1 patient] in the control group) or had a serious adverse event (23.7 percent [80 patients] in the enfuvirtide group and 24.3 percent [41 patients] in the control group) while receiving the treatment to which they had been randomly assigned were similar in the two treatment groups.

Updated Safety Analysis

The update on safety combining data from the two phase 3 studies (including 663 patients in the enfuvirtide groups and 334 patients in the control groups) was completed after a longer exposure to the study drugs (813 patient-years of exposure for patients in the enfuvirtide groups [median, 1.48 years per patient; range, <0.01 to 1.92] and 163 patient-years of exposure for patients in the control groups [median, 0.35 year per patient; range, 0.04 to 1.60], for a ratio of 5:1). The results of this analysis are described by Lalezari et al.13 The safety profile seen in the 24-week review was generally confirmed. Sepsis and pneumonia, primarily bacterial, occurred more frequently in the enfuvirtide group than in the control group; however, the difference between groups in the exposure-adjusted rates was significant only for pneumonia (P=0.02).

Two cases of systemic hypersensitivity reaction (both in TORO 1) were considered to be related to enfuvirtide treatment, and both recurred on rechallenge. Rash, fever, and vomiting developed in one patient, and the other reaction took the form of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis; on rechallenge with the antiretroviral regimen, severe respiratory distress developed in the patient with the latter reaction.13 Eosinophilia (>700 cells per cubic millimeter) that emerged with treatment was more common in patients who received enfuvirtide (74 of 662 patients who could be evaluated [11.2 percent], or 11.5 patients per 100 patient-years) than in the control group (8 of 332 patients who could be evaluated [2.4 percent], or 4.9 patients per 100 patient-years) but was not associated with clinical events suggestive of systemic hypersensitivity.

Aside from eosinophilia, differences between the treatment groups in the incidence of grade 3 or grade 4 laboratory abnormalities that emerged with treatment were small. No consistent pattern was evident to suggest a definitive association of enfuvirtide with any particular laboratory abnormality.

Adherence

Adherence to the overall regimen was high in both groups, with 298 patients in the enfuvirtide group (89.0 percent) and 145 patients in the control group (85.8 percent) achieving adherence of at least 85 percent. In the enfuvirtide group, 314 patients (93.7 percent) had adherence of at least 85 percent to the twice-daily injections of enfuvirtide.

Discussion

TORO 2 was an open-label, randomized, phase 3 trial designed to evaluate the incremental virologic and immunologic benefit of adding a new class of antiretroviral drug (enfuvirtide, 90 mg twice daily) to an optimized background regimen of conventional antiretroviral drugs, as compared with the use of the optimized background regimen alone. The patients included in this study had received extensive previous treatment. Genotypic and phenotypic resistance tests were used to select the optimized background regimen for all patients in the study; the benefit of such testing is suggested by the relatively high proportion of patients who had a response to treatment, even in the control group (20.7 percent with a reduction of at least 1 log10 copies of HIV-1 RNA per milliliter of plasma at week 24). This rate of response compares well with that seen in patients in other trials who had previously been treated with all three available classes of antiretroviral drugs.15,16

The reduction in the plasma HIV-1 RNA level evident in both groups during the first 24 weeks of treatment was substantial, given the degree of antiretroviral resistance in this population of patients. Even so, the difference in the decrease in viral load at week 24 favoring enfuvirtide was clinically relevant and statistically significant. The results of the sensitivity analyses confirm the robustness of this primary response. The effect of enfuvirtide was also statistically significant at week 24 according to all criteria for virologic response in analyses using the intention-to-treat population and the conservative data-handling rules according to which patients with virologic failure and patients who withdrew from the study were considered to have treatment failure. Recent analyses indicate that the absolute magnitude of antiviral response in patients who are treated with enfuvirtide is greatest in those receiving a combination of enfuvirtide and at least two drugs to which the patient's virus is sensitive.17,18 The reductions in plasma viral load at week 24 in both treatment groups were accompanied by a corresponding increase in CD4+ cell counts, with significantly greater increases in the enfuvirtide group. Given that patients entered the trial with a median CD4+ cell count of approximately 100 cells per cubic millimeter, the increase in CD4+ cell counts observed at 24 weeks in the enfuvirtide -treated patients (65.5 cells per cubic millimeter) is likely to be clinically relevant.

Levels of response equivalent to those seen in the enfuvirtide group (42.7 percent with a reduction of ≥1 log10 copies of HIV-1 RNA per milliliter of plasma and 28.4 percent with fewer than 400 copies per milliliter at week 24) have been seen in studies using regimens of more than five antiretroviral drugs with or without an interruption of treatment before the switch to the study regimen.16,19 These multidrug regimens of “mega–highly active antiretroviral therapy” require a high level of patient commitment for good adherence and may also be associated with greater toxicity.

The development of resistance to all three currently available classes of antiretroviral drugs represents a substantial challenge to the successful treatment of HIV. It is therefore important to understand the potential influence of resistance to fusion inhibitors. A recently presented analysis of resistance to enfuvirtide in TORO 1 and TORO 2 found that 94 percent of patients with protocol-defined virologic failure and demonstrated suboptimal viral suppression had virus with amino-acid substitutions at codons 36 through 45 of the viral glycoprotein 41 (known to be associated with resistance to enfuvirtide).20,21 These substitutions were associated with a wide range of decreases (by a factor of 5 to 401) in susceptibility to enfuvirtide.

Overall, with the exception of local injection-site reactions, the safety and tolerability of enfuvirtide in combination with an optimized background regimen were similar to those of the background regimen alone during 24 weeks of therapy. The pooling of the data from TORO 1 and TORO 2 for an updated safety analysis offered a larger population with a longer duration of exposure, so that we could better characterize the safety profile of enfuvirtide; this pooled analysis was appropriate because the studies had similar designs, patient-selection criteria, conduct, monitoring, and protocol-specified analyses. The results of this analysis showed higher rates of bacterial pneumonia and sepsis among patients receiving enfuvirtide than among patients in the control groups. There was a higher incidence of eosinophilia in the enfuvirtide group than in the control group, even after adjustment for exposure. A review of data for individual patients with eosinophilia did not reveal any clinical adverse events that were suggestive of systemic hypersensitivity to enfuvirtide.

The most common adverse events associated with enfuvirtide treatment were injection-site reactions, which occurred in 97.6 percent of enfuvirtide-treated patients. However, only a very small number of patients discontinued enfuvirtide use because of an injection-site reaction (3.3 percent of patients in the enfuvirtide group and 2.6 percent of patients in the control group who switched to enfuvirtide), and adherence to enfuvirtide therapy was high (≥85 percent in 93.7 percent of patients). Research continues into ways of minimizing local injection-site reactions and ways of managing them more effectively.

The week 24 findings of this study are supported by similar results obtained in TORO 1 in North America and Brazil.13 The results of these two concomitant studies of an HIV-1 fusion inhibitor provide firm proof of principle that HIV-1 glycoprotein 41 can be a viable target for the effective treatment of HIV-1 infection. The promising efficacy and tolerability profile of enfuvirtide suggests that the introduction of this new antiretroviral agent could represent a major advance in the care of previously treated patients.
