About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and antiviral activity of rilpivirine (TMC278) 25 milligram (mg) or adjusted dose once daily in combination with an investigator-selected background regimen containing 2 nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (N[t]RTIs) (zidovudine [AZT], abacavir [ABC], or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [TDF] in combination with lamivudine [3TC] or emtricitabine [FTC] in antiretroviral (ARV) treatment-naïve adolescents and children aged greater than or equal to (>=) 6 to less than (<) 18 years.

Full description

This is a Phase II, open-label (all people involved know the identity of the assigned drug) and single arm study. The study will consist of a screening period of maximum 8 weeks, an initial treatment period of 48 weeks, a post week 48 treatment extension period of 4 years (Cohort 1 only), and a 4 week follow-up (cohort 2 only) period. Participants who withdraw from the trial on or before the Week 48 visit or subjects with ongoing (serious) adverse events ([S]AEs), laboratory abnormalities, or viral load increase at the last on-treatment visit in the extension, will be seen for a follow-up visit 4 weeks later. The initial 48-week treatment period will be structured into 2 age Cohorts; Cohort 1 (Aged greater than or equal to [>=] 12 to less than [<] 18 years) and Cohort 2 (Children Aged >= 6 to < 12 years). The trial is designed to evaluate the steady-state pharmacokinetic (PK) profile (based on intensive PK analysis) and the short-term safety and antiviral activity of rilpivirine (RPV). Participants will receive RPV 25 milligram (mg), or weight-adjusted dose orally once daily for 240 weeks when administered in combination with 2 nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). The trial will also evaluate long-term (48 weeks and 240 weeks [Cohort 1]) safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of rilpivirine in combination with the background regimen of 2 NRTIs. Patients safety will be monitored throughout the study and during the follow up visits.

Inclusion criteria

  • Has documented human immuno deficiency virus (HIV-1) infection
  • Patients who meet the following criteria; a) Cohort 1: Patients Aged greater than or equal to (>=) 12 to less than (<) 18 years, weight is >= 32 kilogram (kg), b) Cohort 2; Aged >= 6 to < 12 years, weight is >= 17 kg
  • Must have HIV-1 plasma viral load at screening greater than equal to 500 HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) copies/mL
  • Have not received treatment with a therapeutic HIV vaccine or an HIV drug with the exception of a single dose of nevirapine (NVP) (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2) or up to 6 weeks of zidovudine (AZT) use (Cohort 2 only) prior to screening to prevent mother-to-child transmission (MTCT)
  • In the judgment of the investigator, it is appropriate to initiate antiretroviral therapy (ARV) therapy based on a patient's medical condition and taking into account guidelines for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in children of this age group

Exclusion criteria

  • Any previous use of ARVs with the exception of single dose NVP (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2) or up to 6 weeks of AZT (Cohort 2 only) to prevent MTCT
  • Plasma viral load at screening greater than 100,000 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL
  • Documented genotypic evidence of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) resistance at screening or from historical data available in the source documents
  • Use of disallowed concomitant therapy from 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit
  • Patient has any currently active Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) defining illness
  • Patient has active tuberculosis and/or is being treated for tuberculosis at screening
  • Personal history of cardiac disease (including congenital heart disease), or symptomatic arrhythmias, with the exception of sinus arrhythmia; personal history of asymptomatic arrhythmias is excluded if the asymptomatic arrhythmia is clinically significant in the opinion of the investigator
