About this study

Official title: Benefits and Risks of Early Antiretroviral Therapy in HIV-infected Adults in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire: Randomized Controlled Trial (ANRS 12136 TEMPRANO)

The Temprano trial is based on the following assumptions:

  • ART initiation at CD4 counts <800/mm3 could significantly reduce the probability of severe HIV-related morbidity or death in the medium term.
  • Tuberculosis and tuberculosis-related deaths are likely to represent a considerable proportion of morbidity and mortality among HIV-infected patients with high CD4 counts in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, 6-month Isoniazide Prophylaxis for Tuberculosis (IPT) and early ART could enhance each others efficacy.
Read the detailed description
  • The main individual benefit of very early ART initiation is likely a reduction in early severe AIDS-defining and non-AIDS-defining morbidity. While the diseases that might justify earlier initiation in high-income countries are generally non-infectious (non-AIDS-defining malignancies, renal diseases and cardiovascular diseases), the leading cause of early severe AIDS-defining morbidity in sub-Saharan Africa is tuberculosis and the main causes of severe non-AIDS-defining morbidity are non-invasive bacterial diseases. As a result of poor access to diagnosis and care, some HIV-infected people die from early infectious diseases before reaching current WHO criteria for starting ART.
  • Although the Côte d'Ivoire National Tuberculosis Program (PNLT) does not authorize the use of prophylaxis against tuberculosis, it has allowed the Temprano trial to provide a six-month course of isoniazid (INH) prophylaxis to half of the study subjects. This will allow us to (i) put early ART in perspective with a early 6-month INH prophylaxis use, in a setting where tuberculosis is the first cause of severe HIV-associated morbidity; and (ii) to describe and assess the feasibility of a six-month course of INH prophylaxis among patients with high CD4 counts.
  • Some drug toxicities are immediate but reversible. If early ART is compared to no ART in the short term, these toxicities may demonstrate erroneously that early ART is unfavorable. The risks and benefits of early ART initiation should therefore be evaluated over the long term. In the Temprano trial, we will: (i) follow patients for at least 30 months and analyze the primary outcome at 30 months; (ii) follow some study subjects for 80 months and evaluate the evolution of the ART efficacy / toxicity ratio from month 30 to month 80 as a secondary endpoint, to inform future policies if early ART is found to be beneficial at 30 months.

Main objective: To assess the benefits and risks of starting ART immediately and/or to receive a 6-month IPT among HIV-infected adults with CD4 counts <800mm3 and no criteria for starting ART immediately according to the most recent WHO guidelines.

Location: Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

Methods: randomized 2x2 factorial superiority trial

Main inclusion criteria: (i) HIV-1 or HIV-1+2 infection; (ii) age >18 years; (iii) nadir CD4 count <800/mm3 and no criteria for starting ART immediately according to the most recent WHO guidelines; and (iv) no active tuberculosis.

Trial arms: Arm I: ART initiation according to WHO criteria, at any time during follow-up; Arm II: INH prophylaxis (300 mg/day) for six months and ART initiation according to WHO criteria, at any time during follow-up; Arm III: immediate ART initiation, before reaching the WHO criteria; Arm IV: INH prophylaxis (300 mg/day) for six months and immediate ART initiation, before reaching the WHO criteria.

First-line ART regimens

  • Tenofovir / emtricitabine + efavirenz for all HIV-1-infected men and all HIV-1-infected women who meet the following requirements: on effective contraception and no history of nevirapine use for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT).
  • Tenofovir / emtricitabine + lopinavir / ritonavir for all HIV-1+2-infected patients and all women who do not use effective contraception or who have a history of nevirapine use for PMTCT.

Primary endpoint: Death (all-cause), AIDS-defining disease, non-AIDS-defining malignancy, or non-AIDS-defining invasive bacterial disease.

Main secondary endpoint: Grade 3 or 4 clinical event (including renal and cardiovascular events) or laboratory test result, as defined by the ANRS classification system of drug-related adverse events.

Final primary analysis: It will be performed once the last patient has reached 30 months of follow-up. Time-dependent analyses will compare the primary outcome : (i) among patients initiating ART immediately (arms III and IV) versus patients initiating ART according to the WHO criteria (arms I and II); (ii) among patients who were prescribed a 6-months (arms II and IV) IPT versus those who were not (arms I and III).

Intermediate analysis on safety criteria:

  • Toxicity: all-cause mortality. We have not planned to perform any intermediate analyses for this criterion. If the number of observed deaths is higher than anticipated, however, the DSMB may decide to carry one out. In this case, we will adjust the alpha coefficient using the method suggested by Pocock to account for the large variety of available tests.
  • Efficacy: incidence of severe morbidity. Intermediate analysis: We have not planned any intermediate analyses for this criterion. If the number of severe morbidity evens is higher than anticipated once all patients have reached 12 months of follow-up, the DSMB may decide to carry one out. In this case, we will adjust the alpha coefficient using the method suggested by Haybittle-Peto, to account for the large variety of available tests.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Antiretroviral medications and Antiretroviral medications+Isoniazid prophylaxis in people with HIV Infections and Tuberculosis, run by French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis at 9 sites in Côte d’Ivoire.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 3 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Côte d’Ivoire. 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 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?

Death (all-cause), or severe HIV-related disease (AIDS-defining diseases, non-AIDS-defining malignancies, and non-AIDS-defining invasive bacterial diseases) (time frame: 30 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00495651, which also lists 7 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 3 Jun 2015.
