Clinical Update #7 - News from the latest update to the virco®TYPE-HIV-1 report, version 4.2.01.

Bridgewater, New Jersey
January 23, 2008

On Wednesday January 23, 2008, Virco released the latest update to the virco®TYPE-HIV-1 report, version 4.2.01. When laboratories update to this new version, they can begin to deliver reports to their clients which provide resistance information for INTELENCE™(etravirine). The virco®TYPE-HIV-1 report is the first resistance report to have a resistance call for INTELENCE™ and list the relevant mutations. Some of the new features of the new report are:

• Updated Clinical Cut-Off (CCO) values for all drugs listed on the report. These are based on a significant increase in the size of Virco’s  Clinical Outcomes Database
• Resistance information for INTELENCE™ (etravirine) with Clinical Cut-Offs  
• An improved method for calculating Fold Change values in the presence of  viral mixtures
• New mutations listings on page 1 and 2 of the report
• Updated viral clading algorithm
