Key Mutations
Major DRV-associated
V32I
I47V
I50V
I54M/L
L76V
I84V
V11I, V32I, L33F, I47V, I50V, I54L/M, G73S, L76V, I84V, and L89V are associated with decreased DRV susceptibility and decreased virological response to DRV/r salvage therapy (De Meyer et al. 2006a; De Meyer et al. 2006b; De Meyer et al. 2006c; Picchio et al. 2006). In the POWER studies, bout 60% with 0, 45% with 1-2, and <=20% with >=3 DRMs had RNA <50 copies/ml at wk 24. In an independent study, V32I, L33F, and I47VA were found to be associated with decreased virological response to DRV/r salvage therapy (Pellegrin et al. 2007).

In phenotypic studies, I50V, I54M, L76V, and I84V reduced susceptibility to the greatest extent (Van Marck et al. 2007).

V32I, L33F, I47V, I54ML, G73CS, and I89V have been the most common mutations to emerge with DRV/r treatment failure (Prezista prescribing information) (Delaugerre et al. 2007).
 
Potential cross resistance
V82F
Although V82F has not been reported to develop in viruses from patients receiving DRV/r, it has had a major effect on DRV/r susceptibility in multivariate analyses of the mutations present in DRV/r resistant virus isolates (Van Marck et al. 2007).
 
Accessory
V11I
L33F
G73S
L89V
In addition to the seven major PI-resistance mutations, these four mutations were associated with a decreased virological response to DRV/r in the POWER studies (De Meyer et al. 2006c).
 
Clinical Uses
Initial therapy
DRV/r is currently being studied for use in initial PI-containing HAART regimens. It is currently not recommended for use outside of salvage therapy.
 
Salvage therapy
DRV/r has outperformed ATV/r, SQV/r, FPV/r, and LPV/r when used for salvage therapy in patients previously treated with multiple PIs (Clotet et al. 2007; Katlama et al. 2007). Although it has not been compared directly to TPV/r, it is likely to be more active in the majority of PI-experienced patients (Hill and Moyle 2007).

Preliminary data suggests that DRV/r is also more efficacious virologically than LPV/r in LPV/r-naive PI-experienced patients (Madruga et al. 2007).

DRV/r has a high genetic barrier to resistance. Decreased clinical efficacy requires at least 10-fold decreased susceptibility. Complete loss of activity requires about 90-fold decreased susceptibility (Coakley et al. 2007 ; Winters et al. 2006).
