  • Subject agrees to take all doses of the study drug from the bottles provided by the sponsor (rather than other containers, i.e., "pill box").
  • Subject has voluntarily signed and dated an informed consent form, approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC), after the nature of the study has been explained and the subject has had the opportunity to ask questions. The informed consent must be signed before any study-specific procedures are performed.

Who cannot join

  • Subject has a history of an allergic reaction or significant sensitivity to LPV/r, INV or Combivir.
  • Subject has a history of substance abuse or psychiatric illness that could preclude adherence with the protocol.
  • Screening laboratory analyses show any of the following abnormal laboratory results:
  • Hemoglobin ≤ 10.0 g/dL
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≤ 1000 cells/µL
  • Platelet count ≤ 50,000 per mL
Show all 10Show fewer
  • ALT or AST ≥ 3.0 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN)
  • Creatinine ≥ 1.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN)
  • Subject has received any investigational drug within 30 days prior to study drug administration.
  • For any reason, subject is considered by the investigator to be an unsuitable candidate for the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lopinavir/ritonavir, Saquinavir mesylate and Lamivudine/zidovudine in people with HIV Infections, run by Abbott at 11 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 13 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 27 Sep 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United States, Canada. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of subjects with plasma HIV RNA level below 50 copies/mL (time frame: 48 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 27 Sep 2007.
