About this study

Official title: HAART Regimen Comprising 3TC + ddI + EFV in Once-daily Administration in HIV-1 Infected Children in Burkina Faso

The purpose of this study is to try a known antiretroviral combination in HIV- infected children with only one intake a day, in order to simplify the prescription and improve adherence to treatment. This is what is called a phase II clinical trial, only recruiting and following a small number of children (50) during one year to evaluate the quantity of drug in the blood just before it is taken and one to three hours after it is taken. The other important objective is to study the tolerance of drugs in that mode of prescription of the triple combination.

Read the detailed description

The data relating to pharmacology tolerance and efficacy of the once-daily combination of 3TC + ddI + EFV have never been studied.

This regimen may lead to a better treatment of the HIV-1 infected children in developing countries, as well as in Europe. Because of its simplicity it would facilitate observance that is one of the essential parameters of efficacy of treatments.

The main objectives are those of a phase II clinical trial:

  • Assess the virological and immunological efficacy of a once daily HAART regimen comprising lamivudine (3TC) + didanosine (ddI) + efavirenz (EFV) [pediatric reference];
  • Analyse the pharmacological characteristics of this combination in children;
  • Assess the tolerance;
  • Study the appearance of resistance;
  • Evaluate the observance to treatment. 50 HIV-1 infected children aged 30 months to 15 years whose clinical and immunological state (stage B or C) requires antiretroviral treatment, will be included in the study. They should be naive of any ARV treatment (except the treatment received in the framework of PMTCT (Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission).

Data Collection and Development of the Study:

  • Monthly clinical examination;
  • RNA HIV-1 and CD4 counts;
  • Pharmacological dosages;
  • Haematology and biochemistry surveillance;
  • Genotypic resistance at inclusion; and, in case of unsuccess or failure,
  • Assessment of observance according to alternate methods.

Laboratory examinations will be carried out at Centre Muraz except for genotyping and for pharmacological tests sent to Montpellier Teaching Hospital (France).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Efavirenz (EFV), Lamivudine (3TC) and Didanosine (ddI) in people with HIV Infections and AIDS, run by French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis at 1 site in Burkina Faso.

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 6 inclusion and 4 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 5 Dec 2011. 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 Burkina Faso. 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?

Percentage of patients with HIV RNA less than 400 copies per ml and less than 50 copies per ml at month 12 (M12) (time frame: 12 and 24 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00122538, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 5 Dec 2011.
