Trial summary

Infections with HIV-1 group O are found in 1 to 3 % of persons living with HIV in Cameroon. The natural history and treatment response is not well understood. The natural resistance to non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and their possible low sensitivity to protease inhibitors complicate the choice of an… Read more about this study

About this study

Infections with HIV-1 group O are found in 1 to 3 % of persons living with HIV in Cameroon. The natural history and treatment response is not well understood. The natural resistance to non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and their possible low sensitivity to protease inhibitors complicate the choice of an adequate treatment options.

This observational study is aimed at evaluating the antiretroviral treatment response of HIV-1 group O infected patients in comparison with HIV-1 group M infected patients. The proposed standardized follow-up will facilitate a better understanding of the natural history and treatment specificities to improve the patients management.

This is a non randomized study, open label, with standardized follow-up. A total of 171 patients

What participants receive

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

  • Treatment initiation for HIV-1 group O infected patientsDrug

    The first line regimen is adapted according to the hemoglobin level and the AgHBs status :

    • If Hb > 8 g/ml and negative AgHBs : AZT-3TC (DUOVIR) + LPV/RTV (ALUVIA)
    • If Hb <= 8 g/ml and negative AgHBs : TDF-3TC (LAMIVIR-S) + LPV/RTV (ALUVIA)
    • If positive AgHBs : TDF + 3TC + LPV/RTV (ALUVIA)
  • Treatment initiation for HIV-1 group M infected patientsDrug

    The first line regimen is adapted according to the hemoglobin level and the AgHBs status :

    • If Hb > 8 g/ml and negative AgHBs : AZT-3TC (DUOVIR) + LPV/RTV (ALUVIA)
    • If Hb <= 8 g/ml and negative AgHBs : TDF-3TC (LAMIVIR-S) + LPV/RTV (ALUVIA)
    • If positive AgHBs : TDF + 3TC + LPV/RTV (ALUVIA)

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients with plasmatic HIV viral load bellow 60 copies / ml

    Measured: 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Proportion of patients with plasmatic HIV viral load bellow 60 copies / ml

    Measured: 24 and 96 weeks

  2. Early and late slope of viral load decrease

    Measured: between weeks 2 and 12, and week 24

  3. Early and late slope of CD4 counts increase

    Measured: between weeks 2 and 12, and week 24

  4. Proportion of patients with a stabilized CD4 counts gain over 50%

    Measured: 96 weeks

  5. Time to virological failure

    Measured: Through out the trial

  6. Resistance mutation profile when virological failure

    Measured: Through out the trial

  7. Clinical evaluation : proportion of adverse events, AIDS related events, deaths, morphologic modification

    Measured: Through out the trial

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Infections, run by ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases at 2 sites in Cameroon.

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 3 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 12 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Cameroon. 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?

Proportion of patients with plasmatic HIV viral load bellow 60 copies / ml (time frame: 48 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 NCT00658346, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Jan 2017.
