Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
Subjects who meet all of the following criteria are eligible for this trial:

Subjects with documented HIV-1 infection.

Male or female ages > 18 years old.

Subjects who have voluntarily signed and dated the consent form.

Subjects currently receiving HAART for at least 24 weeks.
Note: HAART is defined as the combination of 2 NRTIs with at least 1 additional ARV from the NNRTI and/or PI class. A regimen with 3 NRTIs is allowed.

Plasma HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL for at least 24 weeks prior to screening (two results must be documented).

Subjects taking the same ARV combination for at least 8 weeks before screening.

Subject and physician’s preference to change the current HAART regimen for reasons of simplification and/or toxicity (examples of toxicities include but are not limited to: CNS, gastrointestinal disturbances, jaundice, anaemia, nausea, neuropathy, paresthesia, hyperlipidaemia, glucose intolerance or diabetes, nephrolithiasis, lipodystrophy, hepatotoxicity, rash and skin related events, any other AE or intolerability or laboratory abnormalities caused by current HAART).

CD4 > 100/mm(3) at the start of HAART and > 200/mm(3) at screening.

Subjects can comply with the protocol requirements.



Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria:
Subjects meeting one or more of the following criteria cannot be selected for this trial:·

History of virological failure defined as two consecutive plasma HIV-1 RNA > 500
copies/mL while on previous or current antiretroviral therapy.

History of any primary PI mutations as defined by the IAS-USA guidelines 2006.

Clinical or laboratory evidence of significantly decreased hepatic function or decompensation, irrespective of liver enzyme levels (liver insufficiency).

Subjects diagnosed with acute viral hepatitis at screening.

Subjects co-infected with hepatitis B.
Note: Subects co-infected with hepatitis B are disallowed to avoid a flare-up when discontinuing NRTIs. Subjects co-infected with chronic hepatitis C will be allowed to enter the trial if their condition is clinically stable and is not expected to require treatment during the study period. See section 9.3.3.3. for further guidelines on enrolment of hepatitis C co-infected subjects.

Subjects with a grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormality as defined by DAIDS grading table (see addendum 1: DAIDS AE grading Table), with the following exceptions unless clinical assessment foresees an immediate health risk to the subject:
-Subjects with pre-existing diabetes or with asymptomatic glucose grade 3 or 4 elevations.
-Subjects with asymptomatic triglyceride or cholesterol elevations of grade 3 or 4.

Presence of any currently active AIDS defining illness (Category C conditions according to the CDC Classification System for HIV Infection 1993) with the following exceptions:
-Stable cutaneous Kaposi’s Sarcoma (i.e., no internal organ involvement other than oral lesions) that is unlikely to require any form of systemic therapy during the study.
-Wasting syndrome due to HIV infection.
Note: An AIDS defining illness that is not clinically stabilized for at least 30 days will be considered as currently active.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Active drug abuse, including alcohol or recreational drugs, which, in the opinion of the investigator, is expected to interfere with the subject’s ability to adhere to the study procedures and treatment regimen. Subjects on a methadone program will be accepted if deemed appropriate by the investigator.

Previous or current use of darunavir.

Previous or current use of enfuvirtide.

Any active clinically significant disease (e.g., tuberculosis, cardiac dysfunction, pancreatitis, acute viral infections) or life threatening disease or findings during screening of medical history or physical examination that, in the investigator’s opinion, would compromise the subject’s safety or outcome of the study.

Any medical or psychiatric condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the subject's safety or adherence to the trial protocol.

Previously demonstrated clinically allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of the investigational medication (DRV).
Note: DRV is a sulfonamide. Subjects who have previously experienced a sulfonamide allergy will be allowed to enter the trial. To date, no potential for cross sensitivity between drugs in the sulfonamide class and DRV has been identified in subjects participating in phase II trials.

Hypersensitivity to ritonavir or to any of the other ingredients found in the ritonavir tablet.

Use of disallowed concomitant therapy (see Section 4.4 and addendum 3)

Primary Outcome(s)
Secondary Objective: To compare safety and tolerability of a treatment simplification regimen by a DRV/r monotherapy versus a triple combination therapy containing DRV/r.

To compare the immune response in terms of changes in the CD4+ T cell count from baseline over 48 weeks of a treatment simplification regimen by a DRV/r monotherapy with a triple combination therapy containing DRV/r.

To compare the frequency of development of at least one new mutations in the RT and PR gene.

To compare changes in laboratory parameters at all time points from baseline to 48 weeks in both treatment groups.

To assess the incidence and severity of body composition changes over 48 weeks in both treatment groups.

To assess and compare the resolution of toxicities present at the screening visit over 48 weeks in both treatment groups.

To evaluate and compare the subject-reported Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) at baseline and the evolution of HRQoL over 48 weeks in both treatment groups.


Primary end point(s): Percentage of subjects with a plasma HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at week 48 by intent to treat (ITT) analyses (see statistical section for details).
Main Objective: To demonstrate non-inferiority in efficacy of DRV/r versus the triple combination therapy containing DRV/r, with respect to confirmed virologic response, defined as plasma HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at 48 weeks.
