About this study

Official title: A Cross-Sectional Study of HIV-Related Neurological Disorders in Ten Countries of the Asia Pacific Region

This study will determine the prevalence of HIV-related neurological disorders in the countries of the Asia-Pacific Region.

Read the detailed description

This a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence of HIV-related Neurological Disorders in the countries of the Asia-Pacific Region. Researchers will visit each country site for a period of 2-3 weeks and work with local investigators. Outpatients will be evaluated once-only for the presence of HIV-related symptomatic peripheral neuropathy and HIV-related Neurocognitive Impairment. Inpatients at the sites will be evaluated once-only for the presence of HIV dementia, cerebral toxoplasmosis, cerebral tuberculosis, cryptococcal meningitis, lymphoma, PML and CMV encephalitis.

The Primary outcomes are:

  1. To determine the prevalence of HIV-related neurocognitive impairment and ADC at the APNAC-10 sites
  2. To determine the prevalence of symptomatic peripheral sensory neuropathy at the APNAC-10 sites
  3. To determine the prevalence of central nervous system opportunistic infections and tumours at the APNAC-10 sites

The secondary outcomes are:

To determine the degree of cognitive impairment in patients presenting with HIV-related cognitive impairment at the APNAC-10 sites

  • To determine the CD4 cell counts, HIV viral loads HIV viral loads and prior AIDS defining illnesses (ADIs) of patients presenting with HIV-related neurocognitive impairment and ADC at the APNAC-10 sites
  • To compare the prevalence of HIV-related neurocognitive impairment and ADC at the APNAC-10 sites to the published pre-HAART prevalence of these conditions in developed countries
  • To compare the prevalence of HIV-related neurocognitive impairment and ADC between the APNAC-10 sites
  • To describe the severity of symptoms of patients presenting with symptomatic peripheral sensory neuropathy at the APNAC-10 sites
  • To determine the CD4 cell counts, HIV viral loads HIV viral loads and prior ADIs of patients presenting with symptomatic peripheral sensory neuropathy at the APNAC-10 sites
  • To determine what proportion of symptomatic peripheral sensory neuropathy may be ascribed to HIV alone, to the use of nucleoside analogues
  • To compare the prevalence of symptomatic peripheral sensory neuropathy at the APNAC-10 sites to the published pre-HAART prevalence of these conditions in developed countries
  • To compare the prevalence of symptomatic peripheral sensory neuropathy between the APNAC-10 sites
  • To determine the prevalence of asymptomatic peripheral neuropathy
  • To describe the presenting symptoms and signs of patients presenting with CNS OIs and tumours at the APNAC-10 sites
  • To describe the neuroradiological findings of patients presenting with CNS OIs and tumours at the APNAC-10 sites
  • To determine the serological, culture and other diagnostic test results of patients presenting with CNS OIs and tumours at the APNAC-10 sites
  • To determine the CD4 cell counts, HIV viral loads and prior ADIs of patients presenting with CNS OIs and tumours at the APNAC-10 sites
  • To compare the prevalence of CNS OIs and tumours at the APNAC-10 sites to the published pre-HAART prevalence of these conditions in developed countries
  • To compare the prevalence of CNS OIs and tumours between the APNAC-10 sites

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Infections and HIV Related Neurological Diseases, run by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) at 1 site in Australia.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 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 Australia. 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.

Are results available for this study?

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.

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 Feb 2007.
