About this study

Official title: A Phase IV, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Two-Phase Crossover Study of the Metabolic Impact of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate on HIV-1 Seronegative Healthy Adult Males

Metabolic changes commonly occur in HIV therapy. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact on insulin sensitivity from the administration of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg compared with placebo in non-HIV-1 infected healthy adult males. Additionally, endothelial function, adipocytokines and lipids will be monitored.

Read the detailed description

Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study using a two-sequence two-period crossover structure. Sixteen HIV-1-negative males will be randomized 1:1 to one of two treatment arms.

Group 1:

  • Tenofovir DF 300 mg QD (equivalent to 245 mg of tenofovir disoproxil) for the first 14 days of the study.
  • Tenofovir DF placebo tablet QD for the last 14 days of the study.

Group 2:

  • Tenofovir DF placebo tablet QD for the first 14 days of the study.
  • Tenofovir DF 300 mg QD (equivalent to 245 mg of tenofovir disoproxil) for the last 14 days of the study.

Physical examinations and laboratory analyses are conducted at screening, baseline, Day 14, and Day 28. A euglycaemic clamp protocol and an ECG are performed at the baseline, Day 14 and Day 28 visits.

The primary efficacy endpoint of this study is insulin-mediated glucose disposal during a hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp study. Endothelial function will be monitored by Selectin P/E and PAI-1 levels; adipocytokine levels will be monitored by measuring adiponectin and leptin levels; and lipid subfractions, including cholesterol (large and small subfractions of HDL and LDL) triglycerides and non-esterified fatty acids will be measured. Safety will be evaluated by adverse event and clinical laboratory test reporting.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the impact on insulin sensitivity (determined by peripheral glucose uptake suing a euglycaemic clamp) of the administration of tenofovir DF compared with placebo for two weeks in HIV-1 seronegative healthy male volunteers.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To assess endothelial function by monitoring changes in Selectin P/E and PAI-1 assays.

  2. To monitor adipocytokines by assessing adiponectin and leptin levels.

  3. To monitor lipids by assessing large and small lipoprotein sub-fractions of HDL and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and non esterified fatty acid concentrations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate in people with HIV Infections, run by Gilead Sciences at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 13 inclusion and 39 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 1 Apr 2008. 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 Kingdom. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

To assess the impact on insulin sensitivity (determined by peripheral glucose uptake suing a euglycaemic clamp) of the administration of tenofovir DF compared with placebo for two weeks in HIV-1 seronegative healthy male volunteers.. 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 1 Apr 2008.
