About this study

Official title: A Phase 1B Dose-Range Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Effects of (+)-Calanolide A on Surrogate Markers in HIV-Positive Patients With No Previous Antiretroviral Therapy

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of a new non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), (+)-calanolide A, in HIV-positive patients who have never received anti-HIV treatment.

Read the detailed description

Patients are randomized into 2 cohorts, with Cohort 2 receiving a higher dosage than Cohort 1. Patients in each cohort receive either (+)-calanolide A or a placebo for 14 days, followed by a 14-day follow-up period. Following study treatment, patients may elect to receive an open-label, 6-month course of anti-HIV drugs to be selected by and administered under the care of the patient's physician.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Calanolide A in people with HIV Infections, run by Sarawak MediChem Pharmaceuticals at 9 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jun 2005.
