Introduction • Protease inhibitors (PIs) are a cornerstone of HAART • Majority of PIs require PK boosting with ritonavir – Advantages • Increases drug exposure • Reduces dosing frequency and pill burden • Improves antiretroviral efficacy – Disadvantages • Increases GI side effects • Increases lipid levels • Risk of generating protease resistant mutants in non-PI containing regimens

4

Goals of the Sequoia PKE Program • Develop a potent and selective inhibitor of CYP3A4 that lacks inherent antiviral activity • Enhance exposure of co-administered PIs comparable to ritonavir • Favorable safety and tolerability profile • Favorable metabolic/lipid profile • Stand alone or fixed dose combination

SPI-452 Lead Candidate from PKE Program • Discovered through a targeted internal PKE research program • Potent inhibitor of CYP3A – IC50 in microsomes ≈ 10-20 nM – Preferential inhibition of CYP3A4/3A5 • No anti-HIV activity • No alteration in anti-HIV activity of HAART drugs in vitro

Study 0452-002: Proof of Clinical Concept Summary •

SPI-452 was generally safe and well tolerated

•

No statistically significant changes in triglyceride and LDL levels compared to placebo

•

SPI-452 PK – Reached steady state by day 14 – Accumulation of SPI-452 was slightly greater than linear with multiple dosing

•

SPI-452 significantly enhanced systemic exposures of darunavir and atazanavir

•

Cmin is the parameter most sensitive to SPI-452 enhancement

Conclusion SPI-452 achieved all PKE Program goals: • Potent and selective inhibitor of CYP3A4 that lacks inherent antiviral activity • Favorable safety and tolerability profile • Favorable metabolic/lipid profile • Enhances exposure of co-administered PIs comparable to ritonavir

SPI-452 is a promising new agent that may expand future treatment options and enhance current standard of care
