INTELENCE (etravirine)

Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors Trial Activity: Declining 1 active trials
Infectious Disease Approved 2008-01-18

Intelence (etravirine) is indicated, in combination with other antiretroviral agents, for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in treatment-experienced adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older. It is specifically intended for patients who have evidence of viral replication and HIV-1 strains resistant to a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) and other antiretroviral agents.

How INTELENCE Works

Etravirine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) of HIV-1. It binds directly to the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme and blocks RNA-dependent and DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activities by causing a conformational change at the enzyme's catalytic site. Unlike many other NNRTIs, etravirine is designed to maintain activity against many HIV-1 strains with common NNRTI-resistance mutations.

How We Calculate These Metrics

Trial Activity Stage

Measures the current development activity pattern based on trial phases, status, and trends. Important: This measures R&D activity, not commercial lifecycle.

Trial statuses: "Active" means recruiting or ongoing. "Completed" means reached planned endpoint. "Terminated" means stopped early—often due to safety, efficacy, or business reasons.

  • Growth: High proportion of early-phase trials (Phase 1/2), active development
  • Expansion: Significant Phase 3 activity, approaching or pursuing approvals
  • Mature: Substantial Phase 4 post-marketing studies
  • Stable: Mixed phase distribution, steady development
  • Declining: Low active trial ratio, reduced R&D investment
