The enhanced version of this assay has greater sensitivity for detecting minority CXCR4-using strains than the original Trofile assay. This led to exclude 107 of the 721 original patients MERIT Cooper DA. JID 2010;201:803-13

8 MERIT Study: maraviroc vs efavirenz, in combination with ZDV/3TC  Discussion - Conclusion –MVC was not non inferior to EFV, when combined with ZDV/3TC –Increase in CD4 count was significantly greater for MVC than for EFV –There were more discontinuations for lack of efficacy in the MVC group –When the screening samples were retested with the more sensitive Trofile assay, 15% of patients were found to have CXCR4 virus at screening –In the post hoc reanalysis, excluding these patients MVC was non inferior to EFV, for proportion of HIV RNA < 50 c/mL at W48 Virologic response rates were similar between MVC and EFV within each viral load stratum (HIV RNA 100,000 c/mL) Response rate was higher for MVC in patients from Northern Hemisphere due to higher adverse event-related discontinuations for EFV Response rate was lower for MVC in patients from Southern Hemisphere, this result being driven by more black patients receiving MVC than EFV defaulting –MVC was associated with significantly fewer adverse event-related discontinuations than EFV and with fewer malignancies and category C events –There were no difference between groups in the incidence of elevation in transaminases, and there were no unexpected safety findings MERIT Cooper DA.
