About this study

Hypothesis 1: Ritonavir-based regimens increase triglycerides and VLDL by both increasing VLDL production and decreasing VLDL clearance.

Specific Aim 1A: To quantify the effect of ritonavir on VLDL production and clearance using stable isotope turnover and other clearance methods.

Read more

Specific Aim 1B: To determine the composition of the triglyceride rich particles.

Protocol 1: The effects of ritonavir-based regimens on VLDL production, VLDL clearance and triglyceride-rich lipoprotein composition in healthy normal volunteers. HIV-seronegative volunteers will be studied before and at the end of four weeks of taking ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir or atazanavir/ritonavir.

Hypothesis 2: NNRTI drugs do not increase HDL by increasing apo AI production, but rather by decreasing apo AI clearance, prolonging time in circulation.

Specific Aim 2A: To determine the composition of HDL before and after NNRTI and assess its function.

Specific Aim 2B: To quantify the effect of NNRTI on apo AI production and clearance using stable isotopes.

Specific Aim 2C: To determine if the NNRTI induced increase in HDL is accompanied by improvement in flow mediated vasodilation and circulating markers of endothelial function Protocol 2A: The effects of efavirenz on HDL composition, HDL function, apo AI production, apo AI clearance, flow mediated vasodilation and circulating markers of endothelial dysfunction in healthy normal volunteers. HIV-seronegative volunteers will be studied before and at the end of six weeks of taking efavirenz.

Protocol 2B: The effects of starting an efavirenz-based regimen on HDL composition, HDL function, apo AI production, apo AI clearance, flow mediated vasodilation and circulating markers of endothelial dysfunction in patients with HIV infection. HIV-infected patients whose care providers have prescribed an efavirenz-based regimen will be studied before and after six weeks of starting efavirenz.

Hypothesis 3: Ritonavir-based PI regimens impair insulin secretion. Specific Aim 3: To determine which ritonavir-based PI regimens alter insulin secretion.

Protocol 3: The effects of ritonavir-based regimens on insulin secretion in healthy normal volunteers. HIV-seronegative volunteers will be studied before and at the end of four weeks of taking ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir or atazanavir/ritonavir.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Mar 2011. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Carl Grunfeld, M.D., Ph.D. (415-750-2005, carl.grunfeld@ucsf.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effect of HIV Protease Inhibitors on Glucose Metabolism by Hyperglycemic Clamp (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 NCT00525239, which also lists 10 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 16 Mar 2011.
