Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With At-least One Adverse Event as a Measure of Safety Until Etravirine (ETR)-Based Treatment Regimen is Commercially Available
Up to 10 years and 11 months

An adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.

Proportion of Patients With at Least 1 Treatment-emergent Grade 1-4 Central Nervous System or Psychiatric Adverse Event
between baseline and 12 weeks

Proportion of patients with at least 1 treatment-emergent Grade 1-4 Central Nervous System or psychiatric Adverse Event, observed between Baseline through Week 12 and judged by investigator to be at least possibly related to the study drug in ETR group versus EFV group. All Adverse Events were graded according to the Division of AIDS Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events ("DAIDS AE grading table"). Grade 1-4 covers all severities.

Frequently asked questions about Etravirine

What is etravirine used for?

Etravirine is used to treat HIV and HIV infection. It is a small molecule antiviral studied in HIV-1 infected patients, including treatment-experienced and treatment-naive adults and children. Trials have evaluated it both as part of combination antiretroviral regimens and in drug interaction studies.

Who makes etravirine?

Etravirine is developed by Johnson & Johnson, which trades under the ticker JNJ. The company has sponsored clinical studies of the drug in HIV, including a continued access program for treatment-experienced HIV-1 infected participants and a tolerability comparison against efavirenz.

What phase is etravirine in?

Etravirine has been studied across Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 clinical trials, all of which are completed. No trials are currently active. The program includes a Phase 3 continued access study and a Phase 2 tolerability trial.

What clinical trials is etravirine in?

Etravirine has been evaluated in completed trials including NCT01876966, a Phase 1 interaction study with darunavir/ritonavir and artemether/lumefantrine in 33 healthy volunteers; NCT00980538, a Phase 3 continued access study in 180 HIV-1 infected participants; and NCT00903682, a Phase 2 tolerability trial in 157 treatment-naive patients.

Is etravirine the same as TMC125?

Yes. Etravirine is also known as TMC125 and is abbreviated ETR. The 200 mg dose is referred to as etravirine (ETR) 200 mg. These names refer to the same small molecule HIV treatment developed by Johnson & Johnson.

How many patients have been enrolled in etravirine trials?

Across the reported etravirine trials, total enrollment is 337 participants. The studies were randomized and controlled, with enrollment ranging from 33 healthy volunteers in a Phase 1 interaction study to 180 participants in a Phase 3 continued access program.
