Background: MOTIVATE
1 (USA, Canada) and MOTIVATE 2 (Europe, Australia, USA) are randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled phase III studies assessing the efficacy and safety of
maraviroc (MVC), a recently approved oral CCR5 antagonist, in treatment-experienced
patients with CCR5-tropic HIV-1. In both studies, MVC + optimized background
therapy (OBT), (once-daily/twice-daily) demonstrated significantly greater
virologic and immunologic efficacy and a similar safety profile compared with placebo+OBT
in the week-48 primary analysis. A planned analysis of pooled data from the 2
studies was conducted.
Methods: Patients with triple drug-class experience
or triple-class resistance, R5 virus, and HIV-1 RNA ≥5000 copies/mL were
randomized 2:2:1 to MVC once-daily or twice-daily +OBT (3 to 6 antiretrovirals ±
low-dose ritonavir; darunavir/r not permitted) or placebo+OBT. Efficacy endpoints
at week 48 included change from baseline (mean of all pre-dose assessments) in
HIV-1 RNA and CD4+ cell count, and proportion of subjects achieving <50
and <400 copies/mL. Superior virologic and immunologic efficacy of each MVC+OBT group vs placebo +OBT was demonstrated. Pooled analysis revealed no new or unique safety
findings at 48 weeks. Discontinuations due to adverse events, serious adverse
events, and laboratory abnormalities (including grade-3 or -4 transaminase
elevations) occurred with similar frequency between treatment groups. Category
C (AIDS-defining) events were also balanced across treatment groups.

Conclusions: MVC+OBT demonstrated statistically
greater efficacy and similar safety compared with placebo+OBT in this pooled week
48 analysis. These results demonstrate that treatment with MVC+OBT provides sustained antiretroviral efficacy and tolerability in treatment-experienced
patients with R5 virus.
