  • Current alcohol or substance abuse judged by the investigator to potentially interfere with subject adherence.
  • Malignancy other than cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) or basal cell carcinoma. Subjects with biopsy-confirmed cutaneous KS are eligible, but must not have received any systemic therapy for KS within 30 days of baseline and are not anticipated to require systemic therapy during the study.
  • Active, serious infections (other than HIV 1 infection) requiring parenteral antimicrobial therapy within 15 days prior to screening.
  • Prior history of significant renal or bone disease.
  • Any other clinical condition or prior therapy that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for the study or unable to comply with the dosing requirements.
  • Current imprisonment or involuntary incarceration in a medical facility for psychiatric or physical (e.g., infectious disease) illness.

About this study

Official title: Boosted Atazanavir and Truvada Given Once-Daily (BATON Study): A Phase 4 Study of Safety, Efficacy & Adherence in HIV Infected, Antiretroviral Naïve Subjects Treated With a Simple Once-Daily Regimen

To determine the safety and efficacy of a simple, once-daily antiretroviral (ARV) regimen consisting of a fixed-dose combination tablet containing Truvada combined with atazanavir boosted with ritonavir in treatment naive patients.

Read the detailed description

To determine the safety and efficacy (viral load suppression and cluster of differentiation 4 [CD4] changes) of a simple, once-daily (QD) antiretroviral (ARV) regimen consisting of a fixed-dose combination tablet containing Truvada combined with the protease inhibitor atazanavir (ATV) boosted with ritonavir (ATV/r).

To evaluate fasting glucose, insulin, C peptide and lipid panel (total cholesterol, high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL, LDL), and serum triglycerides) in subjects receiving Truvada and boosted atazanavir.

To evaluate adherence to a QD ARV regimen of Truvada and boosted atazanavir.

To evaluate steady-state plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of Truvada and atazanavir in study subjects receiving Truvada and boosted atazanavir.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Truvada, Atazanavir and Ritonavir in people with HIV Infections, run by Gilead Sciences at 1 site in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 45 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 10 Jan 2013. 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 United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Determine the safety/efficacy (viral load suppression and CD4 changes) of a once-daily (QD) antiretroviral (ARV) regimen consisting of a fixed-dose combination tablet containing Truvada. (time frame: Baseline to Week 48). 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 10 Jan 2013.
