Trial summary

Taking antiretrovirals once-a-day is considered the simpler way to improve adherence. However, it is not know if this assertion apply to patients taking their medication twice-a-day who change to once-a-day. We hypothesized that once-daily dosing improves adherence. Read more about this study

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Nevirapine from twice-a-day to once-a-dayBehavioural

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. MEMS adherence by electronic devices

    Measured: 28-week period (randomized phase)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Virologic efficacy (RNA HIV<400cp/ml)

  2. Immunologic efficacy (CD4 count cells)

  3. Tolerance (hepatic, cutaneous, ANRS safety grade scale)

  4. Pharmacokinetics (nevirapine dosages)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nevirapine from twice-a-day to once-a-day in people with HIV Infections, run by University Hospital, Caen.

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 2 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 28 Oct 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

MEMS adherence by electronic devices (time frame: 28-week period (randomized phase)). 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 NCT00466180, 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 28 Oct 2010.
