Trial summary

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetic disposition of raltegravir in pregnant HIV-1 infected women. These results will be compared to pharmacokinetic data obtained following pregnancy as well as to studies previously carried out in nonpregnant women and male patients. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 16 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Preliminary eligibility will be determined by the study investigators, research staff, and the patient's primary pregnancy healthcare provider. During a dedicated visit to the primary investigator's office, potential participants will undergo a screening examination including review of physical exam and blood work obtained by their primary pregnancy provider within two weeks of study enrollment. Those that qualify will then provide written consent and be able to continue in the study.

Who may be able to join

  • Female, 16 years old or older
  • Pregnant, at least 14 weeks gestation in order to initiate raltegravir treatment if decided by their pregnancy health care provider. The first pharmacokinetic study visit occurs no sooner than 26 weeks gestation (3rd trimester)
  • Normal fetal heart motion by ultrasound, vital signs and brief physical exam as conducted by their primary pregnancy health care provider within two weeks of study entry (part of their standard prenatal care)
  • Intolerance or resistance to at least two classes of antiretroviral agents
  • Availability of a raltegravir-optimized background regimen based on referring provider's selection and resistance testing
  • English or Spanish speaking

Who cannot join

  • Inability to follow study protocol or drug administration
  • Women who are planning to breastfeed (this is not recommended for HIV-infected women to reduce HIV transmission to the baby)
  • Women unable to sign informed consent
  • Women with a history of anaphylaxis or other life threatening adverse event associated with antiretroviral therapy

About this study

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetic disposition of raltegravir in pregnant HIV-1 infected women. These results will be compared to pharmacokinetic data obtained following pregnancy as well as to studies previously carried out in nonpregnant women and male patients. By determining the disposition characteristics for this specific patient population, antiretroviral (ARV) dosing can be optimized during pregnancy. Appropriate dosing is necessary to minimize adverse effects, slow progression of disease, and further reduce the risk for vertical transmission. Data will also be obtained on genital tract penetration and placenta transfer of raltegravir to the newborn.

The subjects enrolled in this study will take an antiretroviral based regimen containing raltegravir twice daily both during and after their pregnancy. The specific regimen will be chosen by their own primary care provider based on their antiretroviral history and resistance testing. They will undergo a series of blood sampling for pharmacokinetic analysis over 12 hours on two occasions; a) during their 3rd trimester and b) approximately 3 months postpartum. Concentrations of raltegravir in the infant will be assessed by cord and infant blood sample at delivery and a blood sample at approximately 3 months of age.

Hypothesis: The pharmacokinetic exposure of raltegravir as measured by the 12 hour area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC0-12h) during third trimester pregnancy is similar to the AUC0-12h estimated three months post-partum.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Infections, run by University of California, San Francisco at 4 sites in United States.

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 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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.

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 29 Mar 2012.
