APV10017 was a pharmacokinetic study that evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of fosamprenavir/ritonavir (FPV/RTV) at reduced doses over 14 days in HIV-infected subjects with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (HI). Based on these data, two new regimens have recently been approved by the EMEA and FDA in these patient groups; FPV 700mg BID/RTV 100mg QD for those with mild HI (Child-Pugh score 4-6) and FPV 450mg BID/RTV 100mg QD for those with moderate HI (Child Pugh score 7-9). The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has requested longer-term safety data among this hepatically impaired HIV-infected population who have received the recently updated FPV/RTV dosing regimens.
An observational cohort study will be conducted using routinely collected data in three European HIV patient cohorts with a high proportion of hepatitis co-infected individuals. Patients who received FPV/RTV will be followed to address the following objectives.
Primary: To assess the safety and tolerability of FPV/RTV-based ART in subjects with mild to moderate hepatic impairment.
Secondary: A). To compare the safety and tolerability of FPV/RTV-based ART in subjects with mild to moderate hepatic impairment when compared to FPV/RTV-based ART in hepatitis B (HBV) or hepatitis C (HCV) co-infected subjects with normal hepatic function. B). To compare the safety and tolerability of FPV/RTV-based ART to lopinavir/ritonavir LPV/RTV-based ART in subjects with mild to moderate hepatic impairment.

- Incidence Rates Per 100 Person-years of Follow-up (PYFU) of Study Main Outcome Measures [ Time Frame: Incidence of these events was assessed over time during Year 1 ]Incidence rates per 100 person-years of follow-up of study primary outcome. The numbers analyzed in the category titles represent the number of patients with each event. Incidence rate is the number of new cases per population in a given time period, where the denominator is the sum of the person-time of the at-risk population.
- Median Length of Participant Follow-up and Length of Time on Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Participant characteristics at baseline are presented according to treatment group. ART is used for the treatment of HIV.
- Cluster of Differentiation (CD4) Count at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Participant characteristics at baseline according to treatment group. CD4 count is a measurement of how many functional CD4 T-cells are circulating in the blood. The lower the absolute CD4 count, the weaker the immune system.
- Median Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)-Platelet Ratio Index (APRI) Score at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ]The APRI score (AST to platelet ratio index) is an index comprised of biochemical values and is used to determine the degree of hepatic fibrosis. It is calculated as follows: APRI score = ([AST level/Upper Limit Normal]/Platelet counts) x 100. AST = Aspartate aminotransferase. In general, APRI scores range from 0 to >2.0, where scores <0.5 indicate no significant fibrosis, scores >1.5 indicate significant fibrosis, and scores >2.0 have been shown to be best correlated with the presence of cirrhosis.
- Median FIB (a Model of End-stage Liver Disease) Score at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ]The FIB-4 score is an index that combines biochemical values (platelets, ALT, AST) and age to determine the degree of hepatic fibrosis. FIB-4 = (Age x AST)/(Platelet counts x ALT1/2). The FIB-4 score ranges between values of 0 to 13. A score of <1.45 indicates no/moderate fibrosis (F0-F1-F2-F3 in the ISHAK classification of fibrosis), whereas a score >3.25 is indicative of extensive fibrosis or cirrhosis (F4-F5-F6). The ISHAK classification of fibrosis is a commonly used scoring system that stages fibrosis from 0-6 (1-2, portal fibrotic expansion; 3-4, bridging fibrosis; 5-6, cirrhosis).
- Median Model of End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) Score at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ]MELD is a scoring system for assessing the severity of chronic liver disease and is used to predict participant survival. It is calculated using biochemical values as follows: MELD = (0.957 x Log[Creatinine]) + (0.378 x Log[Bilirubin]) + (1.120 x Log[INR]) + 0.6431. INR = International Normalized Ratio for prothrombin time. MELD scores range between 0 and 40, with 40 being the most severe, i.e., 100% mortality. In interpreting the MELD score in hospitalized participants, the 3-month mortality is: score >=40, 100% mortality; 30-39, 83% mortality; 20-29, 76% mortality; 10-19, 27% mortality.
- Median ALT and AST Scores at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Participants characteristics at baseline according to treatment group.
- Median Blood Platelet Count at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Participant characteristics at baseline according to treatment group.
- Median Bilirubin Level at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Participant characteristics at baseline according to treatment group.
