Summary

The purpose of this trial is to compare the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of TMC278 given at a dose of 25 mg once daily versus efavirenz (EFV) at a dose of 600 mg once daily, when combined with a background regimen containing 2 nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors ( investigator choice of ABC/3TC, TDF/FTC or AZT/3TC) in HIV-1 infected patients who have not yet taken any anti-HIV drugs. The following evaluations will be done: antiviral activity, immunologic changes, and viral geno-/phenotype evolution, relationship of Pharmacokinetics (PK) and PK/Pharmacodynamics and Medical resource utilization and treatment adherence.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patient with documented HIV-1 infection
  • Patient has never been treated with a therapeutic HIV vaccine or an ARV drug prior to screening
  • Patient's HIV-1 plasma viral load at screening is > 5,000 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL (assayed by RNA PCR standard specimen procedure)
  • Patient's virus is sensitive to the 2 nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors chosen for treatment
  • Patient agrees not to start ART before the baseline visit
  • Patient is HLA-B*5701 negative in case abacavir is included in the patient's treatment regimen.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Previous use of ANY ARV drug for ANY length of time
  • Any documented evidence of NNRTI resistance associated mutations in patient's HIV
  • Category C AIDS defining illness, except, Stable Kaposi Sarcoma Wasting syndrome if not progressive
  • Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) that is considered not cured
  • Active TB
  • Allergy or hypersensitivity to study or background ARTs
  • Specific grade 3 or 4 toxicity
  • Kidney impairment: calculated creatinine clearance <50 ml/min
