Resistance profile of the HIV-1 maturation inhibitor GSK3532795 in vitro and in a clinical study.

ABSTRACT: GSK3532795 (formerly BMS955176) is a second-generation maturation inhibitor (MI) that progressed through a Phase 2b study for treatment of HIV-1 infection. Resistance development to GSK3532795 was evaluated through in vitro methods and was correlated with information obtained in a Phase 2a proof-of-concept study in HIV-1 infected participants. Both low and high concentrations of GSK3532795 were used for selections in vitro, and reduced susceptibility to GSK3532795 mapped specifically to amino acids near the capsid/ spacer peptide 1 (SP1) junction, the cleavage of which is blocked by MIs. Two key substitutions, A364V or V362I, were selected, the latter requiring secondary substitutions to reduce susceptibility to GSK3532795. Three main types of secondary substitutions were observed, none of
