Background
New antiretrovirals are needed for HIV+ children.
IMPAACT P1066 is an international Phase I/II open label multicenter trial to evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability, and efficacy of multiple RAL formulations in treatment experienced HIV+ youth
Study Design (1) Open label, multi-center study conducted in US, South
Africa, Botswana, Brazil, Argentina Population: HIV+ youth who failed ≥ one ART regimen
with HIV RNA >1000 < 2yrs may have failed only PMTCT
2-stage study: Stage 1 performed intensive PK for dose
finding/safety Stage 2 enrolled additional patients at selected (final)
dose Dose selection based on intensive PK and safety data:
RAL film-coated (adult) tabs: 400 mg BID for 6-18 yrs and ≥ 25kg RAL chewable: weight-based dosing at ~6mg/kg (75-300mg)
BID for 2 -<12 yrs RAL oral granules for suspension (< 2yrs) ongoing
RAL was given with an optimized background regimen Subjects were enrolled sequentially in 5 age cohorts
Study Design (2) Formulation Summary
Cohort Age Formulation I 12-18 yrs Adult
IIA 6-11 yrs Adult IIB 6-11 yrs Chewable III 2-5 yrs Chewable IV 6mos – 2 yrs Granules for Susp V 4wks – 6mos Granules for Susp
Chewables available in 25 mg and 100 mg (scored), orange banana flavor Granules in sachets of 100 mg, reconstitute in 5mL water, banana flavor
Study Design (3) Endpoints: Safety: Grade 3+ or serious adverse events (AE) Efficacy:
Primary: vRNA < 400c/mL or ≥1 log reduction Secondary: vRNA < 50c/mL, change in CD4 count (%) Used Observed Failure missing data approach
Time points: Primary: 24 wk Secondary: 48 wk
Analysis Populations: Primary : subjects who received only the final selected dose ITT population: all treated subjects
Here we present demographics and 48 week safety and
efficacy data in 96 subjects 2-18yr (Cohorts I-III) who received RAL only at the final selected dose

Conclusions Two RAL formulations were studied in HIV
infected youth ages 2 to 18 years; PK targets were met for both formulations
At the selected final doses RAL was well-tolerated and showed favorable virologic and immunologic responses through 48 weeks of treatment
Data from All Treated subjects (who received other than Final Dose, N=126) were consistent (data not shown)
Conclusions (2) Data from this study has been used in
obtaining US FDA approval for use of raltegravir in HIV+ youth ages 2-18 yrs
RAL film-coated tablet: 400 mg BID Ages 12 to 18 yrs Ages 6 to <12 yrs, weight ≥ 25kg
RAL chewable tablet Ages 2 to <12 yrs, weight ≥10kg: weight
based dosing (75-300mg) BID
Recommended Dose for Raltegravir (ISENTRESS) Chewable Tablets in Pediatric Patients 2 to Less Than 12 Years of Age –
From US Product Circular Body weight (kg) Dose Number of Chewable
tablets 10 to <14 kg 75 mg twice daily 3 x 25 mg twice daily 14 to <20 kg 100 mg twice daily 1 x 100 mg twice daily 20 to <28 kg 150 mg twice daily 1.5 x 100* mg twice
daily 28 to < 40 kg 200 mg twice daily 2 x 100 mg twice daily At least 40 kg 300 mg twice daily 3 x 100 twice daily
• The weight based dosing recommendation for the chewable tables is based on approximately 6 mg/kg/dose twice daily
• *The 100 mg chewable tablet is scored and can be divided into equal halves
