About this study

Official title: Double-Blind, Randomized, Dose Optimization Trial of Three Doses of Tipranavir Boosted With Low Dose Ritonavir (TPV/RTV) in Multiple Antiretroviral Drug-Experienced Subjects.

The purpose of this research study is to determine which of three different dose combinations of tipranavir and ritonavir, when taken with a standard approved anti-HIV drug therapy, is most effective and safe. Tipranavir is an investigational protease inhibitor which has been demonstrated to have in vitro activity against HIV-1.

Read the detailed description

This study will be conducted in HIV+, multiple ARV medication experienced patients. All patients must have received treatment from each of three ARV classes: NRTIs, NNRTIs and PIs, have received at least two PI-based ARV regimens (may include the current regimen) with a viral load greater than or equal to 1000 copies/mL at the time of study entry. The two separate PI-based regimens must each have been taken for at least 3 months. At least one resistance-conferring PI-mutation (from a pre-established panel) must be present. Baseline genotypic screening will be performed and will be used in conjunction with ARV medication history to determine new background therapy for each individual subject to use.

Following genotypic screening at baseline, qualifying subjects will be randomized to one of three blinded treatment regimens. Subjects will discontinue their current protease inhibitor and initiate TPV/RTV for 2 weeks of functional monotherapy. Thereafter, the background ARV medications will be optimized and subjects will remain on blinded TPV/RTV plus optimized background therapy for the duration of the trial. Trial duration ranges between 12-32 weeks, depending on when the subject is entered into the trial and the interim analyses for determination of optimized TPV/RTV regimen is completed. On determination of the optimal TPV/RTV dose, subjects may opt to continue open-label treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Protease inhibitor tipranavir in people with HIV Infections, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 51 sites in 2 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 10 inclusion and 14 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 20 Sep 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 51 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 20 Sep 2005.
