In an 8 day monotherapy study of subjects infected with HIV-1 (subtype B) (NCT01009814), BMS-626529 (an attachment inhibitor that binds to HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120), administered as the prodrug BMS-663068, produced substantial declines in plasma HIV-1 RNA. However, large variability in susceptibility to BMS-626529 was noted and virus with low susceptibility was less likely to be suppressed by BMS-663068 administration. The current analysis sought to investigate the genotypic correlates of susceptibility to BMS-626529.
