About this study

Official title: A Phase III Open-Label, Randomized, Active-Controlled Study Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of T-20 (HIV-1 Fusion Inhibitor) in Combination With an Optimized Background Regimen, Versus Optimized Background Regimen Alone, in Patients With Prior Experience and/or Prior Documented Resistance to Each of the Three Classes of Approved Antiretrovirals (Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase, Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase and Protease Inhibitors)

The purpose of this study is to show if a dose of T-20 added to an anti-HIV combination (chosen specifically for each patient) lowers viral load by at least a certain level after 24 weeks as compared to an anti-HIV combination (chosen specifically for each patient) alone. Another purpose is to show if the patient response to T-20 will be maintained for 48 weeks.

Read the detailed description

An OB regimen is selected to be initiated at baseline by the physician and patient. The OB regimen is based on the patient's prior treatment history as well as the results from the first screening visit HIV-1 genotypic and phenotypic (GT and PT) resistance testing and prior GT/PT antiretroviral resistance testing (if available). Prior or current laboratory abnormalities, including triglycerides and cholesterol, should also be taken into account when selecting the OB regimen. Patients are stratified with respect to the following: 1) screening viral load (less than 40,000 or 40,000 or more copies/ml); and 2) number of allowed investigational antiretrovirals (0, 1, or 2). Patients then are randomized to receive 1 of the following treatments for 48 weeks: OB regimen or OB plus T-20 regimen. Patients are seen for evaluation of efficacy and safety at Weeks 1, 2, and 4, every 4 weeks through Week 24, and then every 8 weeks through Week 48. In addition, efficacy only is evaluated at Weeks 6, 10, and 14. Patients also may be seen at additional visits during the study for plasma HIV-1 RNA measurements to potentially confirm virological failure.

Patients initially randomized to the OB arm who meet the criteria for virological failure and who switch to OB plus T-20 after Week 8 are followed under a new ("switch") schedule of assessments. Patients are encouraged to change their OB regimen at the time of switch.

Patients initially randomized to the OB plus T-20 arm who meet the criteria for virological failure may continue to receive OB plus T-20 if the patient and the physician feel that there is sufficient benefit. Patients are encouraged to change their OB regimen after Week 8 if they choose to continue on OB plus T-20 despite meeting the criteria for virological failure.

Patients on OB or OB plus T-20 arm who meet the criteria for virological failure but who do not wish to either switch to T-20 (for patients initially randomized to OB arm) or continue with T-20 (for patients initially randomized to OB plus T-20) are allowed to remain in the study for a maximum of 1 month.

At the end of the 48 weeks of treatment, patients are allowed to participate in 1 of the following treatment extensions: a) roll-over and receive OB plus T-20 (for patients receiving OB alone); or b) continue taking OB plus T-20 (for patients already receiving OB plus T-20), for a maximum of an additional 48 weeks (plus 4 weeks safety follow-up period), or until 12 weeks after commercial availability of T-20 in the country in which they are treated, whichever comes first. All patients are followed for a maximum of 100 weeks from their initial baseline visit date.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Enfuvirtide in people with HIV Infections, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 37 sites in 9 countries.

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 0 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 37 sites in United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and 4 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00021554, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
