About this study

Official title: Prospective Epidemiological Study of the Prevalence of HLA-B*5701 in HIV-1 Infected UK Patients

This is a study to determine the prevalence of a genetic marker, HLA-B5701, in the UK population. HLA-B*5701 has been strongly associated with the risk of an allergic reaction to a HIV medicine, Abacavir. The allergic reaction is known as a hypersensitivity reaction.

The study is a prospective study inviting HIV-1 positive patients over the age of 18 years to participate. Each participant will complete one study visit. They will be asked for details of their background including their age, sex, ethnicity, country of origin and parental country of origin.

They will be asked to give two samples to test for the presence of the genetic marker HLA-B*5701. The two samples are:

  • A cheek swab
  • A blood sample

In selected centres patients may be asked to provide up to two additional blood samples. These samples will be used to help develop and validate new methods of determining HLA-B*5701 testing.

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?

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?

Prevalence of HLA-B*5701 in the UK population via central labs (time frame: 2 Hours). 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 NCT00453440, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
