About this study

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a single dose of the drug nevirapine (NVP) given to pregnant women at onset of labor and to their infant 48-72 hours after birth in addition to standard oral zidovudine (ZDV or AZT) prophylaxis for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1.

Read the detailed description

Multicenter, randomized, three arms, double-blind, controlled study. Study population was HIV-infected pregnant women who were on ZDV prophylaxis for more than two weeks and gave informed consent. If eligible, women completed a baseline check-up. Women meeting selection criteria were randomly assigned to receive one of three study regimens, in addition to ZDV prophylaxis:

  1. One dose maternal NVP treatment at onset of labor, and one dose of infant NVP treatment 48-72 hours after birth
  2. One dose maternal NVP treatment at onset of labor, and one dose of infant placebo 48-72 hours after birth
  3. One dose maternal placebo at onset of labor, and one dose of infant placebo 48-72 hours after birth. This was the reference study arm.

Follow-up of women and infants was carried out on an outpatient basis except for delivery and the first three days after delivery.

AMENDMENT

After the first interim analysis, enrollment in Placebo-Placebo arm was terminated on May 2, 2002, according to the recommendation of the Data and Safety Monitoring Board. The target sample size was increased to 660, instead of 510, in each of the two remaining arms (N-N and N-P) to ensure enough power to test for non-inferiority between these arms with a limit of 2.5%.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Single dose nevirapine to the mother and to the child in people with HIV Infections and Pregnancy, run by Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement at 1 site in Thailand.

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 7 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 7 May 2008. 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 Thailand. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Definitive HIV infection in infants as assessed by positive HIV DNA PCR on two peripheral blood samples. 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 NCT00398684, which also lists 5 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 7 May 2008.
