Lamivudine

The percentage of PAR with HIV-1 RNA virus \<50 c/ml determined from a blood sample drawn at Week 84 was tabulated by treatment arm with stratification by baseline HIV-1 RNA (\<100,000 c/ml and \>=100,000 c/ml). Per TLOVR algorithm, responders were PAR with confirmed viral load \<50 c/ml who had not met any non-responder criterion. Non-responders were PAR who never achieved confirmed HIV RNA \<50 c/ml, prematurely discontinued study or study medication for any reason, had confirmed rebound to at least 50 c/ml, or had an unconfirmed HIV RNA of at least 50 c/ml at last visit.

Change from baseline was the difference of the HBV DNA copy numbers (log10) in serum collected by blood draw between baseline and Week 52

Relative potencies of two monotherapy regimens (TDF alone vs. ABC alone) compared to the dual NRTI regimen of TDF+ABC as assessed by the short-term virologic response. (Change in HIV RNA copies/mL at baseline and day 7 for monotherapy, baseline and day 49 for dual therapy.)

At day 49 of Sequence 2 a 24-hour post dose plasma sample should be collected and processed. All 7 samples from the sparse PK (time 0, 30-min, 1-hr, 2-hr, 3-hr, 6-hr and 24-hr post dose) should be sent overnight to appropriate off-site lab for analysis. Since the patient is on dual therapy and the each drug is measured in separate labs each PBMC samples should be split at each time-point with half of the samples shipped to Gilead and half shipped to USC (two separate shipments). ALL plasma samples should be sent to USC. Since samples have to be split we will need to collect double the blood for the intracellular (PBMC) PK: Blood volume (PBMC-plasma): 40 mL - each draw Blood volume (plasma only): 3 mL - each draw Blood volume: 169 mL- over 2 days Plasma NRTI and intracellular ddNTP concentrations were measured 7 days after treatment with ABC or TDF alone and were compared to levels obtained after 7 days of treatment with both drugs
