Enrollment: 129 participants; Allocation: RANDOMIZED; Intervention model: PARALLEL

Brief summary:
This is a pilot study to examine if the novel treatment regimen maraviroc plus boosted atazanavir can be expected to be safe and efficacious in treatment naive HIV infected patients. Based on the results from this study, a confirmatory phase 3 study may be conducted.

Detailed description:

Arms: arm 1: maraviroc (Selzentry, Celsentri) 150 mg QD + atazanavir (Reyataz) /ritonavir (Norvir) 300/100mg QD Subjects experiencing unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia attributable to atazanavir (Reyataz) /ritonavir (Norvir) without any other etiology of hyperbilirubinemia, responding to the therapy without virologic failure, but expressing cosmetic concerns because of the jaundice or scleral icterus (associated with bilirubin elevations) and wish to discontinue atazanavir (Reyataz) in spite of reassurances by the investigator, will be permitted on a single occasion only to switch to another protease inhibitor either darunavir (Prezista)/ritonavir (Norvir)((800/100 mg) QD or lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra, Aluvia)(400/100mg) BID and remain in the study. If the investigator decides to switch to a protease inhibitor other than darunavir (Prezista)/ritonavir (Norvir) or lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra, Aluvia)(, then the subject must be discontinued from the study. arm 2: emtricitabine/tenofovir (Truvada) 200/300mg QD + atazanavir (Reyataz) /ritonavir (Norvir) 300/100 mg QD

Subjects experiencing unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia attributable to atazanavir (Reyataz) /ritonavir (Norvir) without any other etiology of hyperbilirubinemia, responding to the therapy without virologic failure, but expressing cosmetic concerns because of the jaundice or scleral icterus (associated with bilirubin elevations) and wish to discontinue atazanavir in spite of reassurances by the investigator, will be permitted on a single occasion only to switch to another protease inhibitor either darunavir/ritonavir (800/100 mg) QD or lopinavir/ritonavir (400/100mg) BID and remain in the study. If the investigator decides to switch to a protease inhibitor other than darunavir/ritonavir or lopinavir/ritonavir, then the subject must be discontinued from the study.
