About this study

The primary objective of this trial was to assess the presence of susceptibility to tipranavir and other ARVs of the HIV-1 isolates in treatment experienced patients. The secondary objective was to examine clinicians' use of HIV drug resistance testing in treatment experienced patients currently failing a PI based HAART regimen.

What is being measured

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

  1. Level of sensitivity of a patient's HIV-1 isolate to tipranavir

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Levels of sensitivity of a patient's HIV-1 isolate to other marketed ARVs (PIs, NRTIs, and NNRTIs).

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Protease inhibitor(s) (PI) identified by the clinician prior to resistance testing to which a patient's HIV-1 virus was thought to be susceptible

    Measured: Day 1

  2. PI that was discontinued or initiated after receiving resistance testing results

    Measured: up to 45 days

  3. Non-PI ARVs that were discontinued or initiated after receiving resistance testing results

    Measured: up to 45 days

  4. Rationale reported for modifying or not modifying baseline ARV regimen after receiving resistance testing results

    Measured: up to 45 days

  5. Utilization (yes/no) of expert interpretation by a clinician after receiving resistance testing results

    Measured: up to 45 days

  6. Relationship between prior number of PIs utilized and number of available (sensitive) PIs as determined by resistance testing

    Measured: up to 45 days

  7. The physician's assessment of whether the phenotypic testing (as part of combined testing) provided more information than the genotypic test alone did

    Measured: up to 45 days

  8. Physician reported limitations that influence access to resistance testing

    Measured: day 1

  9. Clinician reported reasons why tipranavir was or was not considered as an option for each patient

    Measured: up to 45 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Infections, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 36 sites in 2 countries.

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 3 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 21 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 36 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. 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?

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?

Level of sensitivity of a patient's HIV-1 isolate to tipranavir (time frame: Day 1). 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?
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 21 Nov 2013.
