patients. He is also deeply involved in HIV-related research: He is the principal investigator for
the Orlando Immunology Center Research Facility, where he oversees several phase 1-4
clinical trials. In this capacity, he has presented study results at major international conferences,
including the International AIDS Conference, International AIDS Society Conference,
Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, Conference on
Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections and European AIDS Conference.

What Drives the Search for New
Antiretroviral Agents?
The Body PRO
HIV Drug Resistance
Safety and Tolerability
Cost and Convenience
• Five to 15% of newly
diagnosed patients
have drug resistance1-4
• Metabolic side effects:
lipoatrophy, dyslipidemia,
insulin resistance5
• A proportion of
treatment-experienced
patients have multiclass resistance4
• Other side effects: bone,
hematologic, central
nervous system, renal,
reproductive and
gastrointestinal
• Treatment-experienced
patients may need
mega-HAART with as
much as seven agents
or more6
• Patients must take
lifelong therapy7

Goals of Therapy for TreatmentExperienced Patients
The Body PRO
IAS-USA Guidelines,
August 20061:
US DHHS Guidelines,
January 29, 20082:
“Trials with newer antiretroviral
agents have shown that
it is possible to achieve plasma
HIV-1 RNA levels below
50 copies/mL even in highly
treatment-experienced patients.”
“The goal of treatment for
patients with prior drug exposure
and drug resistance is to reestablish maximal virologic
suppression, HIV-1 RNA < 50
copies/mL.”

Tropism Testing
The Body PRO
Standard Trofile Assay
Enhanced Trofile Assay
The Trofile test, which was used to
establish eligibility for clinical trials of
maraviroc, has been proven an
effective test for identifying individuals
with X4-tropic virus.1
It identified D/M tropism in more
patients in ACTG 5211 than the
standard assay:2
However, the test sometimes fails to
identify X-4 tropic minority
subpopulations.
25 of the 116 patients who were
believed to have changed from
CCR5-only to D/M tropism while
taking vicriviroc, were found to have
D/M virus at study entry when the
enhanced Trofile assay was used.

ARV development has been very successful in the
past decade.
The availability of new agents and new classes have
increased treatment options for our treatment
experienced patients.
The potential use of these agents earlier in therapy
have opened the door for new treatment strategies.
There are several other agents in development that
can further complement the enhanced activity of these
new agents.
