Manufacturing Issues
• 106 steps (chemical reactions - PIs= 8-12 steps)
• 18 secondary suppliers (19 sources of raw materials)
• Complex (synthetic peptide)
• 45 Kg raw materials - 1 Kg of T-20
• Total peptide production 30 kg (worldwide)
• Need to produce 40000-70000 kg T20 /year to meet demand

Dosing and Administration of FUZEON
![Page 13: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Dosing and Administration of FUZEON
Dosage of FUZEON
• FUZEON is administered bid (usually the morning and evening) as a subcutaneous injection.
• Each dose consists of 1.0 mL injection containing 90 mg of FUZEON delivered with a 1 mL NMT Safety Syringe.
Preparation of FUZEON
• FUZEON is supplied as a lyophilized powder, which must be reconstituted in water for injection.
• All of the necessary components needed for FUZEON injection are supplied in a kit.
![Page 14: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Dosing and Administration of FUZEON The kit
The FUZEON kit contains the following five components:
• 60 vials of FUZEON
• 60 vials of water for injection
• Alcohol pads
• 60 - 3 mL NMT Safety Syringe
• 60 - 1 mL NMT Safety Syringe
![Page 15: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Dosing and Administration of FUZEON
• The 3 mL NMT Safety Syringe is used for sterile water; the 1 mL NMT Safety Syringe is used for injecting the FUZEON solution
• FUZEON typically requires 10 to 20 minutes to dissolve in sterile water, but may take up to 45 minutes
• The injection site should be rotated and should not include the area around the navel, the belt line, or any area where there is an ongoing injection site reaction

Individualised / Optimized Background
• Regimens are individualized through selection of maximally active drugs determined by prior treatment history and, wherever possible, HIV resistance testing
• Other considerations may include the use of pharmacokinetic enhancement and, for patients with few remaining options, attempts to limit HIV replicative capacity

TORO 2: Conclusions
• Safety:
– ISRs occur in almost all patients (only treatment limiting in 3%)
– Other AEs comparable across treatments
• Primary study endpoint:
– plasma HIV-1 RNA analysis statistically significant favouring the Fuzeon arm
• Secondary endpoints:
– Responder analyses (1 log drop, <400, <50 c/mL) statistically significant favouring the Fuzeon arm
– CD4 cell count change from baseline statistically significant favouring the Fuzeon arm
![Page 33: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
TORO 1 / TORO 2 Conclusions
• Patient Populations:
– BL RNA (median): 5.2 - 5.1 log10 copies/mL
– CD4 (median): 80 - 98 cells/mm3
– PSS (mean) 1.7 - 1.4
• Primary Efficacy ENF + OB vs. OB:
– TORO 1: -1.7 vs. -0.76; Delta = 0.93; p<0.0001
– TORO 2: -1.43 vs. -0.65; Delta = 0.78; p<0.0001
– Sensitivity analyses and analysis of secondary virologic and immunologic endpoints consistently demonstrated benefit of ENF+OB over OB
• Safety
– ISRs occur in almost all patients; treatment limiting in 3%
– Other AEs comparable across treatments
![Page 34: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
TORO 1 / 2:Conclusions
• Fuzeon, the most clinically advanced fusion inhibitor, was studied in two separate multinational studies in a total of approximately 1000 heavily pretreated patients.
– Injection site reactions were the most common AE; treatment limiting in only 3%
– Significant benefit in primary and secondary virological endpoints as compared to OB alone.
– Significant immunologic benefit as compared to OB alone.
• Results consistent across both studies

Patient acceptance of SC self-injections Conclusions
• In the Phase III trials, TORO 1 and TORO 2, patient acceptance of self-injections of FUZEON remained high over the 24 week treatment period.
• Most patients reported that self-injections were easy to administer and that injections had ‘little’ or ‘no impact’ on their daily routines.
• This should allow good treatment compliance, helping to ensure successful therapy.
• Additional analyses are planned once the 48-week data is available.

ISR and related variables
• Severity of local ISRs is not dose related in the range used in
adults.
• Grade 3 & 4 ISRs were comparable in patients with and
without fat redistribution.
• Trend towards more frequent grade 3 signs/symptoms with
low BMI.
• Incidence of Grade 3/4 ISRs was not increased in patients
with a higher CD4 cell count.
![Page 51: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
ISRs - Drug-demographic interactions
• Demographic Subpopulations:– Gender (male or female)– Race (white or non-white)– Age (<40yrs or 40yrs)– Gp41 Antibody
• No apparent differences seen for subpopulations on:– Incidence– Most common symptom & signs– Severity of symptom & signs– Severity with duration of treatment– Duration of lesions– No. of lesions at any given visit
![Page 52: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
ISR discontinuation rate remains low & similar from week 24 to safety updatecut-off (week 48)
• Low ISR discontinuation rate and high adherence to treatment despite high overall incidence of ISR
• Week 24: 3% of patients discontinued due to ISRs
• Safety update: 4% of patients discontinued due to ISRs (majority patients reached Week 48)
![Page 53: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Possible reasons for low discontinuation rate and high adherence to treatment despite high incidence of ISRs
• Motivated patients: heavily experienced
– Median duration of prior therapy: 7 years
– Median number of ARVs: 12
– Mean PSS: 1.6
• ISRs mostly mild to moderate in intensity
• While rate of ISR remain stable overtime, no apparent increase in severity overtime
![Page 54: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
ENF is the predominant factor for eliciting ISRs
• Animal studies suggest some role of vehicle, but a major contribution of enfuvirtide.
• Cannot be evaluated clinically (no placebo-control)
• Conclusions limited by:
– repeated injections in animals vs. “single” injections in humans
– placebo is not ideally matched (hypo-osmotic)
– uncertain relevance of animal findings to humans.
![Page 55: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Pathological characterization of injection site changes in animals
• Gross (visible) changes:
– swelling, hardening, discoloration
• Microscopic changes:
– mixed inflammatory infiltrate (primarily macrophages, lymphocytes, eosinophils)
– nonspecific changes of hemorrhage, edema
– repeated injections of high concentrations resulted in granulomatous reaction (foreign-body type?)
![Page 56: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
No data currently available for guidance with medical management of local ISRs
• Anecdotal reports:
– massaging injection site or applying ice helpful in adult patients
– proper injection technique reduce severity/frequency
• Pediatric patients: optional use of topical anesthetic
– however, effect of topical anesthetic use not prospectively studied
• Three ongoing studies may assist in determining appropriate measures to prevent and/or treat ISRs
– Intervention study (T20-305): massage, topical steroids, heat, self injected vs. partner injected
– Clinical, histological, and immunochemical characteristics of ISRs at various times after the injection of ENF (T20-306)
– Injection site pathology study (NV16471)

FUZEON and RESISTANCE
![Page 58: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Resistance testing
Drug resistant HIV can be identified by two in vitro methods;
• Genotyping and
• Phenotyping
![Page 59: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Genotypic Resistance - 1
• Fuzeon
– a completely new class of ARV
– a unique MoA
• Mutations in the target enzymes of protease and the reverse transcriptase cause no reduction in susceptibility to T-20
• Baseline resistance to T-20 is rare.
![Page 60: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Genotypic resistance - 2
• In vitro resistance:
– HIV- 1 isolates with substitutions in amino acids (aa) 36– 38 of the gp41 ectodomain correlated with varying levels of reduced FUZEON susceptibility in HIV site-directed mutants.
• In vivo resistance:
– Treatment- emergent substitutions in aa 36– 45 of gp41 HR 1 region have been observed in viruses from patients receiving FUZEON in Phase II and Phase III clinical studies. The substitutions observed in decreasing frequency were at amino acid positions 38, 43, 36, 40, 42 and 45.
![Page 61: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Genotypic resistance - 3
• In Phase 11 studies (T20-205, 206 and 208) the most common substitutions in plasma virus on treatment were as follows;
– V38A (n=18)
– G36D (n=15)
– G36S (n=11)
– N43D (n=10)
– N42T (n=5)
• At the time of protocol defined virological failure, viruses from a total of 31/40 (78%) patients showed substitutions in gp41 aa 36-45.

Antiviral EC50 values are dependent upon the assay type/protocol
DATA FOR WT (PRE-TREATMENT) HIV
• Using a cMAGI cell assay the geo mean EC50 was 0.016 g/ml (n=130)
• Using a JC53-BL cell assay mean EC50 was 0.16 g/ml (n=35) (Derdeyn et al)
• Using a PhenoSense Assay the mean EC50 was 0.26 g/ml (n=612)
• All are valid assays

FUZEON treatment emergent substitutionsin gp41 aa 36-45 in virological failure patients
• Of the patients who met virological failure, 94% carried virus with ENF-associated substitutions
• The most common substitutions were
– V38A, N43D, Q40H, G36D
• These mutations are associated with diminished
– ENF sensitivity in vitro
– replicative capacity in vitro
![Page 71: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
The high incidence of resistance to FUZEON at VF reflects the lack of sensitivityto the OB regimen
• 43.5% of patients had a PSS of 0
• 38.5% of patients had a PSS of 1 or 2
• A large proportion of patients were essentially treated with ENF as monotherapy

Viruses with aa36-45 resistance mutations are less fit than wild-type
• Wild-type virus outgrows mutants in in vitro grow competition
• Mutants are outgrown by wild-type in vivo on cessation of FUZEON therapy

FUZEON-resistance mutations are not seen in pre-treatment HIV
• There is a low incidence of variants in aa 36-45 of pre-treatment HIV gp41
– these are not resistance mutations in in vitro assays
• Patients carrying viruses with pre-treatment variants or wild-type respond equally to FUZEON treatment in terms of VF
• Viruses carrying the most common pre-treatment variant, N42S, are slightly more sensitive to FUZEON in vitro
![Page 75: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Resistance summary

T1249-102 Conclusions Interim analysis First 25 patients
T-1249 demonstrates potent short term antiviral activity in most patients failing an ENF-containing regimen.
The time on ENF following virological failure inversely correlates with short-term antiviral responses to T-1249
The safety and efficacy of T-1249 remains to be tested in clinical trials during chronic administration.
The results from this study demonstrate that fusion inhibitors constitute an expanding class of antiretroviral agents with the potential to be sequenced

How do we interpret resistance tests?One possible approach:
• Resistance does not always have a binary classification (ie: ‘fully sensitive’ or ‘fully resistant’). PSS and GSS may not be integer
• New regimens are selected to give maximal PSS or GSS
• A PSS or GSS of at least 2 may be needed for durable suppression
• A PSS or GSS >2 is preferable if possible
PSS: Phenotypic sensitivity score
GSS: Genotypic sensitivity score
The number of drugs in a
regimen to which a patient’s
virus is considered
sensitive by phenotyping
Phenotypic resistance
determined by reference to
‘cut-off’ thresholds of
fold-resistance
The number of drugs in a
regimen to which a patient’s
virus is considered
sensitive by genotyping
Genotypic resistance
determined by mutation

Phenotypic cut-offs used in resistance testing
TECHNICAL BIOLOGICAL CLINICAL
• Based on assay reproducibility
• Not drug-specific
• Being superceded by biological and clinical cut-offs
• Based on upper limit of susceptibility range observed in panel of wild-type isolates
• Drug specific
• Based on direct fold change/ response correlation from clinical studies
![Page 115: Enfuvirtide (T-20)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/568138e4550346895da094b4/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
A test may give only a partial answer to drug sensitivity
THEREFORE
Resistance tests must be performed on therapy
Prior resistance test results and/or full clinical history must be factored in to new drug selection
Low fitness of resistant strains
Patient stops drugs
Reversion to wild type
BUT
• Undetectable minority populations remain
• HIV sanctuary sites in body compartments
• Latently infected CD4 cells
