Abstract Dengue is a major health threat and the number of symptomatic infections caused by four dengue serotypes estimated to be 96 million 1 with annually around 10,000 deaths 2 . However, no antiviral drugs are available for treatment or prophylaxis dengue. We recently described interaction between non-structural proteins NS3 NS4B as promising target development pan-serotype virus (DENV) inhibitors 3 Here we present JNJ-1802—a highly potent DENV inhibitor that blocks NS3–NS4B within viral...

Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are an important component of antiretroviral therapy for HIV type-1 (HIV-1)-infected patients. Development NNRTI resistance can lead to treatment failure and is conferred by the presence specific resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) in transcriptase. In addition widely used list RAMs provided International AIDS Society-USA HIV-1 Drug Resistance Mutation Group, which were identified on basis clinical experience with approved NNRTIs, a...
Background. Simeprevir is an oral, once-daily, hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease inhibitor for the treatment of chronic HCV genotype 1 infection. Human immunodeficiency (HIV) coinfection accelerates progression liver disease. This uncontrolled, open-label trial explored safety and efficacy simeprevir in patients with 1/HIV type (HIV-1) coinfection.
Dengue virus (DENV) infections are major causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the tropics subtropics. More than 400 million estimated to occur every year, resulting in nearly 100 symptomatic more 20,000 deaths. Early immune response kinetics infection remain unclear, large part due variable incubation period exhibited by DENVs after introduction into a susceptible host. To fill this knowledge gap, we performed comprehensive virologic immunologic analysis individuals experimentally...

This study investigated strategies that may increase the yield of drug resistance testing prior to starting antiretroviral therapy (ART), and whether transmitted polymorphic resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) correlated with virological outcomes. We carried out retrospective baseline samples from patients entering SENSE trial first-line ART in Europe, Russia Israel. Prior randomization etravirine or efavirenz plus two nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), plasma...
JNJ-54257099 (9) is a novel cyclic phosphate ester derivative that belongs to the class of 2'-deoxy-2'-spirooxetane uridine nucleotide prodrugs which are known as inhibitors HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). In Huh-7 genotype (GT) 1b replicon-containing cell line 9 devoid any anti-HCV activity, an observation attributable inefficient prodrug metabolism was found be CYP3A4-dependent. contrast, in vitro incubation primary human hepatocytes well pharmacokinetic evaluation thereof...
Abstract The prevalence of susceptibility to etravirine was investigated among clinical samples submitted for routine testing in the United States using two separate weighted genotypic scoring systems. presence mutations and by phenotype from HIV-1-infected patients, Monogram Biosciences resistance between June 2008 2009, were analyzed. Susceptibility genotype determined Tibotec etravirine-weighted systems, with scores ≤3 ≤2, respectively, indicating full susceptibility. PhenoSense HIV...
Etravirine is a recently approved nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. The ability of etravirine to limit the emergence resistance protease inhibitors, and specifically darunavir, was investigated in subset treatment-experienced patients with virologic rebound phase III DUET trials. Of those experiencing rebound, fewer etravirine-treated than placebo-treated developed mutations associated inhibitors general darunavir particular, more placebo-group maintained baseline susceptibility...

We assessed etravirine resistance in treatment-experienced, HIV-1-infected children (n=41)/adolescents (n=60) who received twice-daily 5.2 mg/kg and a background regimen (boosted protease inhibitor plus nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors, optional enfuvirtide/raltegravir) Phase II, open-label, multicentre trial (PIANO).In addition to phenotypes, viral genotypes were by population deep sequencing (PS DS) virological failures (VFs; baseline end point) responders (baseline)....
Introduction In DUET, etravirine (ETR) 200 mg bid had durable efficacy and a favourable safety profile versus placebo, both arms with an optimised background regimen (BR) including darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r). TMC125IFD3002 (VIOLIN; NCT01422330) investigated ETR plus ARVs other than DRV/r. Materials Methods This was 48 week, Phase IV, open‐label, single‐arm, multicentre study. HIV‐1‐infected treatment‐experienced adult patients on=8 weeks ARV therapy prior to screening, switching either for...
Methods In this analysis, patients with a virologic rebound were defined as those who showed response at earlier time-points but rebounded to >50 copies/ml in the DUET week 48 dataset. Phenotyping and genotyping baseline end-point performed AntivirogramTM Virco® TYPE HIV-1 assays, respectively, if viral load (VL) was >1000 copies/ml. Emerging mutations present (i.e. last available resistance test on treatment) not baseline. Patients discontinued trial for non-virologic reasons excluded.
VIOLIN (TMC125IFD3002; NCT01422330) evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of etravirine with antiretrovirals other than darunavir/ritonavir in HIV-1-infected patients.In a 48-week, phase IV, single-arm, multicenter study, patients on prior antiretroviral therapy (⩾8 weeks) who needed to change regimen for virologic failure (viral load ⩾ 500 copies/mL) or simplification/adverse events < 50 received 200 mg bid ⩾1 active antiretroviral, excluding only nucleoside/tide reverse...
