About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetics of and Rate of HIV-1 RNA Decline in ARV-naive HIV-1 Infected Patients Treated With Low- or Standard-dose Saquinavir HGC (Invirase®) and Lopinavir/Ritonavir (Kaletra®

Treatment with only protease inhibitors might benefit HIV patients. Laboratory data have shown that the combination of saquinavir with lopinavir and ritonavir may a good regimen. This study will explore this idea.

Read the detailed description

Treatment with only protease inhibitors might benefit HIV patients, who experience problems with the other antiretrovirals drugs classes. Another reason to only use protease inhibitors is that the remaining classes are spared. This leaves the option to use these classes in the future, for instance in cases of drug resistance. Laboratory data have shown that the combination of saquinavir with lopinavir and ritonavir may a good regimen. This study will explore this idea.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Saquinavir, lopinavir, ritonavir in people with HIV Infections, run by The HIV Netherlands Australia Thailand Research Collaboration 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 4 inclusion and 9 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 Apr 2012. 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. 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?

study the pharmacokinetics of low dose and standard dose lopinavir/ritonavir and saquinavir HGC in ARV naive HIV-1 infected Thai patients (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT00400738, which also lists 2 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 Apr 2012.
