Investigation of The Effect of Cenicriviroc (CVC) Plus FTC/TDF on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01474954
Purpose
This is a single-site substudy, "Investigation of the Effect of Cenicriviroc (CVC) plus
Emtricitabine/Tenofovir (FTC/TDF) on Atherosclerosis Risk Factors", open to all patients
enrolled in the primary study, "A Phase 2b Randomized, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy Trial of
100 or 200 mg Once-Daily Doses of Cenicriviroc (CVC, TBR-652) or Once-Daily EFV, Each With
Open-Label FTC/TDF, in HIV-1-Infected, Antiretroviral Treatment-Naïve, Adult Patients With
Only CCR5-Tropic Virus", in the San Francisco Bay area to evaluate changes in brachial flow
mediated dilation in patients in one of three treatment groups: 1. Cenicriviroc (CVC) at
100mg (2 tablets, 50mg each) QD + CVC matching placebo (2 tablets) QD + Efavirenz (EFV)
matching placebo (1 capsule) QHS + emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) (1
tablet) QD; 2. CVC at 200mg (4 tablets, 50mg each) QD + EFV matching placebo (1 capsule) QHS
+ FTC/TDF (1 tablet) QD; 3. CVC matching placebo (4 tablets) QD + EFV 600 mg (1 capsule) QHS
+ FTC/TDF (1 tablet) QD. The substudy will run for the duration of the primary study. 50
patients of the 150 total enrolled in the primary study will be referred to and enrolled in
the cardiovascular substudy.
Patients enrolled in the substudy and substudy protocol staff will be blinded to study
treatment. Data obtained on this substudy will be analyzed in conjunction with laboratory
data for cardiovascular disease risk factors and HIV-1 RNA levels obtained on the primary
study.
The primary study is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, 48-week, comparative study in
approximately 150 HIV-1-infected, treatment-naïve patients with CCR5-tropic virus. Patients
will be stratified by Screening HIV-1 RNA level (≥100,000 copies/mL versus <100,000
copies/mL) and randomized 2:2:1 to one of the three treatment groups. Patients will receive
all medications from the primary study, and thus the primary study site will be responsible
for any adverse outcomes with the drug.

- Body mass index (BMI) 18 to <=35 kg/m2
- Antiretroviral treatment-naive (no prior non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitor, other than in women who received a single dose of perinatal nevirapine who
have no K103 viral mutation, no prior CCR5 antagonist therapy, no more than 10 days of
any other prior antiretroviral therapy)
- HIV-1 CCR5-tropic-only virus, as determined on both a tropism genotype and the
enhanced Trofile assay
- Plasma HIV-1 RNA level >= 1,000 copies/mL at Screening Visit 1
- CD4 count >= 250 cells/mm3 at Screening Visit 1
- Able and willing to provide written informed consent
- Willing to take appropriate precautions to prevent pregnancy
- Women of child-bearing potential may be enrolled following a negative urine pregnancy
test. If participating in activity that could lead to pregnancy, men and women must
agree to use two forms of barrier method contraception during the trial and for 3
months after stopping the medication.
- Women who are not of reproductive potential (documented to be surgically sterile or
postmenopausal [defined as amenorrhea >= 1 year and follicle stimulating hormone>= 30
mU/mL]) are eligible to be enrolled
- Signed informed consent for participation in the sub-study
Exclusion Criteria:
- Presence of CXCR4- or dual/mixed-tropic HIV-1 virus on either the enhanced Trofile
assay or a tropism genotype
- Presence of primary resistance mutations or phenotypic resistance to TDF, FTC, or EFV
and/or mutations associated with multidrug nucleoside/nucleoside resistance
- An active CDC category C disease (except cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma not requiring
systemic therapy during the trial)
- Any historical CD4 count <200 cells/mm3
- Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) value Grade
>=2 or total bilirubin greater than the upper limit of normal (ULN) during Screening
- History of HIV-2, hepatitis B and/or C, cirrhosis of the liver, or any known active or
chronic liver disease. Hepatitis B vaccinated patients are eligible, as follows:
- Patients with a recent history of hepatitis B (positive hepatitis B surface antigen
[HBsAg]) are excluded.
- Patients with prior exposure to hepatitis B but with no virus present (positive
hepatits B surface antibody [HBsAb]) are eligible provided liver function tests (AST
and ALT) are within normal ranges, the patient has no signs/symptoms of hepatitis, and
all other entry criteria are met.
- Patients with positive hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) may be chronic carriers of
hepatitis B or have cleared the virus and are eligible provided liver function tests
(AST and ALT) are completely normal, the patient has no signs/symptoms of hepatitis,
and all other entry criteria are met.
- Patients with positive hepatitis C antibody (HCVAb) are excluded, except those with
proof of viral clearance and normal liver function tests (LFTs) may be eligible with
Medical Monitor approval.

protein derivative (PPD) test. Cases of active infection and latent TB infection with
a documented history of adequate treatment may be considered for enrollment provided
the subject has a negative chest x-ray following treatment and within 6 months before

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). National Institutes of Health
(NIH), and the HIV Medicine Association of the Infectious Diseases Society of America
(IDSA) guidelines, or other CDC recommendations if the patient was treated before the
