Background: UK-453,061 is a next-generation NNRTI showing potent antiviral activity against both wild-type and clinically-relevant drug-resistant viruses. Three separate studies in healthy male subjects investigated the effect of tenofovir/emtricitabine (Truvada®), lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra™) and atazanavir (ATZ) on the pharmacokinetics of UK-453,061 and a fourth evaluated the safety and tolerability of UK-453,061.

Methods: Each drug interaction study enrolled 14 volunteers, treated for at least 10 days in an open, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study. Blood samples were collected during the 24 hours following the last dose. A 28-day randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study assessed safety and tolerability of UK-453,061 (500 mg BID or 750 mg QD) compared to efavirenz (600mg QD) or placebo in 66 subjects. Laboratory tests were carried out throughout the study and the effect on the 6-b-hydroxycortisol/cortisol ratio was examined.

Combinations were generally well tolerated with mild to moderate adverse events characteristic of those previously reported with each agent. The most frequent adverse events with UK-453,061 monotherapy were headache, diarrhea, dizziness and nausea; no serious or severe treatment-emergent adverse events or permanent discontinuations were reported for UK-453,061 monotherapy nor did any laboratory abnormalities lead to withdrawal. The 6-b-hydroxycortisol/cortisol ratios were raised.

Conclusions: UK-453,061 was well tolerated with no unexpected serious or severe adverse events. Co-administration with ATZ or Truvada did not lead to any clinically relevant interaction, although UK-453,061 increased tenofovir exposure. The presence of Kaletra halved UK-453,061 exposure, consistent with the induction of UK-453,061 metabolic pathways by lopinavir and ritonavir.
