Introduction
• Long term toxicity and costs of cART
highlight the need of treatment simplification
strategies
• Monotherapy with boosted PIs has been
investigated with controversial results
• Dual therapy could be a suitable option in
certain patients
Atazanavir/ritonavir + lamivudine
• Tolerability:
– ATV is a PI with a low metabolic impact;
– 3TC generally very well tolerated.
• Once daily administration
• Relatively limited pill burden
• Relatively limited costs
ATLAS
• Pilot study (40 patients)
– Prospective single-arm, single center, 48 weeks
– Safety and tolerability
– Max allowed failure rate (confirmed VL>50 cp/mL):
12.5%
– Enrolment June 2009 – May 2010
– Clinicaltrials.gov NCT00885482
• Inclusion criteria:
– Patients on ATV/rit + 2 NRTIs from at least 3 months
– HIV-RNA <50 copies/mL from at least 3 months
– CD4 >200 cells/µL from at least 6 months
ATLAS
• Exclusion criteria:
– Previous virological failure of 3TC or PIcontaining regimens or exposure to mono-dual
NRTI
– Virological failure with other regimens but a GRT
with any RAM to 3TC or ATV
– Proton pump inhibitors co-administration
– HBsAg positive
– Pregnancy
ATLAS: study procedures
• At baseline simplification to ATV/rit 300/100 mg OD +
3TC 300 mg OD
• Follow up visits at 4, 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks
• At each visit: chemistry, CD4 and HIV-RNA, TDM, self
reported adherence (VAS)
• At baseline and at 48 weeks: Quality of Life, self-reported
symptoms, Neurocognitive assessment, Bone density
(DXA), Fat distribution (DXA, Liposound), carotid IMT
and endothelial function (brachial FMD)

Results of 24 weeks interim analysis
• 40/40 patients completed Week 4, 38/40 Week 12, 36/40 week 24
• All patients maintained an HIV-RNA<50copies/mL, without
viremic blips
• No significant modifications of CD4 cells count

Severe clinical adverse events
A total of 5 severe adverse events were
observed in 5 patients :
• 2 renal colic
• 1 hypertensive crisis
• 1 brain hemorrhage
• 1 pregnancy (the only dropped patient)
Laboratory toxicity
• 14 patients with baseline grade 3 elevation of total
bilirubin
• New grade 3 laboratory toxicities were observed in 18 pts

Conclusions
• Simplification regimen with ATV/rit+3TC maintained
virological suppression through 24 weeks
• 2 severe adverse events possibly related to drugs (renal
colic); no severe laboratory adverse event; bilirubin
increased temporarily.
• TC, HDL and LDL increased (a lipid-lowering effect of
TDF was recently suggested)*; TC/HDL and HDL/LDL
ratios were unchanged.
• Renal function improved significantly (probably due to
TDF discontinuation)

Conclusions
• 48 weeks efficacy and safety results are necessary to
confirm preliminary safety and efficacy of simplification
to ATV/r+3TC
• Results will form the basis for definitive testing of this
strategy in a randomized controlled trial.
