About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Tolerability of an Antiretroviral bi-Therapy in HIV-1 Infected Patients With Multidrug Resistant HIV ANRS 109 Vista Trial.

This study investigated whether a calibrated reduction in antiretroviral drug pressures could stabilize the evolution and the pathogenic potential of resistant HIV viruses.

Read the detailed description

In patients with HIV multidrug resistance, maintaining a failing full-dose HAART regimen usually results in significant drug toxicity and in continued accumulation of resistance mutations that can preclude future therapeutic options. In contrast, treatment interruption provokes the reemergence of wild-type virus with full replicative and pathogenic capacity. The researchers investigated whether a calibrated reduction in drug pressure could stabilize the evolution and the pathogenic potential of resistant virus.

A prospective pilot study was conducted in patients receiving protease inhibitor-based HAART with a resistance genotype predicting less than two active drugs according to the 2002 ANRS algorithm, CD4 counts over or equal to 100/mm3 and plasma HIV RNA below or equal to 5 log/ml. The treatment was low-dose IDV/RTV (200/100 BID) and 3TC 150mg BID. IDV doses were adjusted at week 4 to ensure a Cmin of 250+/-100ng/ml, which, based on a panel of multi-PI resistant viruses, was calculated to yield an inhibitory quotient (Cmin/IC50) of 0.50. Primary end-points were over 25% decrease in CD4 counts (immunological failure-IF), or over 0.7 log increase in plasma HIV RNA (virological failure-VF) at two consecutive monthly visits during the 24-week study. Inclusions were to stop when the total number of failures (VF+IF) reached 7

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Decrease over 25% in CD4 counts (immunological failure-IF), or increase over 0.7 log in plasma HIV RNA (virological failure-VF) at two consecutive monthly visits during the 24-week study

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Development of an HIV-1-related AIDS defining event

  2. Death

  3. Change in CD4 cell count between baseline and week 24

  4. Change in plasma HIV-RNA level between baseline and week 4, week 8, week 12 and week 24

  5. Change in genotypic and phenotypic resistance between baseline and week 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Indinavir, Lamivudine and Ritonavir in people with HIV Infections, run by French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis at 1 site in France.

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 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Decrease over 25% in CD4 counts (immunological failure-IF), or increase over 0.7 log in plasma HIV RNA (virological failure-VF) at two consecutive monthly visits during the 24-week study. 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 18 Jan 2007.
