Girard, ICAAC 2006 September 27-30, 2006, San Francisco, CA. Poster #H Introduction HIV-1 infection is a long term illness requiring long term therapy Antiretroviral therapy may induce metabolic abnormalities and fat tissue redistribution Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are associated with such toxicity A 48 week randomized study (the COOL Study) enrolled 143 virologically controlled (BLQ) patients who were switched to 2 simplified new regimens TDF+3TC+EFV vs TDF+EFV

Girard, ICAAC 2006 September 27-30, 2006, San Francisco, CA. Poster #H Objectives Primary objective: Evaluation of the efficacy of TDF+3TC+EFV versus TDF+EFV QD to maintain plasma HIV-1 RNA BLQ (< 50 copies/mL) (c/mL) at 48 weeks (W48) Main Secondary objectives: – Comparison of the two arms for genotypic resistance profile in case of virological failure – CD4 changes from baseline – Evolution of the lipid profile and morphological changes in fat distribution, and safety Efficacy and genotypic profile data, results of lipid markers, morphological changes and main biological parameters are presented

Girard, ICAAC 2006 September 27-30, 2006, San Francisco, CA. Poster #H Methods Main Eligibility Criteria: –Stable HAART ≥ 3 months –HIV-1 RNA < 50 c/mL ≥ 6 months –No HAART failure history –Weight > 45 kg –No CD4+ cell count criteria –No significant laboratory or clinical abnormalities –Creatinine Clearance > 60 mL/min Follow-up was performed at Week 4, 12, 24, 36 and 48 including clinical examination, adverse events assessment, CD4 cell count, HIV-1 RNA level, metabolic parameters and morphologic evaluation. Creatinine Clearance was calculated according to the Cockcroft-Gault equation Success rate was defined as maintained VL BLQ (< 50 c/mL) without study drug modification at W48 Non inferiority limit:14% L4 CT-Scans were performed at baseline and Week 48 (SAT and VAT measurement) Two DSMB meetings were scheduled for formal unblinded statistical review of the first 40 and 80 patients at Week 12 for HIV-1 RNA, CD4, and AE Clinical and biological data were collected via an Electronic Data Capture system (eCRF) allowing a tight follow-up by DSMB in a timely manner Statistical analysis was performed with SAS, version 8.2 –Intent To Treat (ITT) Population defined as all included patients having received at least one dose of study treatment –As Treated (AT) Population defined as all included patients having received at least one dose of study treatment, with at least one evaluation at baseline and after baseline and with no major deviation to the protocol

Poster #H Conclusions TDF + 3TC + EFV demonstrates an optimal success rate (97%) as a maintenance regimen when compared to TDF + EFV (82%) TDF + EFV demonstrated lower efficacy due to: –Virological Failure: 4% –Study Drug Discontinuation: 14% Switching to a QD tenofovir based regimen can significantly improve lipid profile even when lipids are within the median normal range at baseline Other improvements in biological parameters were observed following a switch from BID HAART to QD TDF-based HAART No glomerular filtration rate decrease or hypophosphatemia was observed
