About this study

Official title: P1060 Substudy Comparing Differences in Malaria Parasitemia by Real Time Quantitative PCR in HIV-Infected Infants and Children on PI-Based HAART Versus NNRTI-Based HAART

More than 1.5 million deaths of African children under 5 years of age have been due to Plasmodium falciparum malaria. When HIV and malaria are present as coinfections, they enhance each other's progression. The primary purpose of this study is to compare the malarial infection levels in HIV-infected infants and children receiving protease inhibitor (PI)- or non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).

Read the detailed description

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports 1 to 2 million malaria deaths annually, with most malaria-related deaths occurring in children. The malaria burden is compounded by the HIV epidemic, which is most prevalent in areas endemic for malaria, notably Sub-Saharan Africa where nine in ten children younger than 15 years of age are infected with HIV. The purpose of this study is to compare parasitemia levels in HIV-infected infants and children receiving PI- or NNRTI-based HAART regimens.

This study will enroll a total of 140 participants, 35 from each of the 4 groups in IMPAACT P1060.

This substudy will last until 24 weeks after the last P1060 enrollment or until P1060 study discontinuation. Participants must meet enrollment criteria for P1060 as well as additional criteria for this study. Study visits will occur as a part of P1060 study visits, all of which include a physical exam, blood collection, and assessments of HIV-related symptoms.

Participants are also encouraged to return to the primary clinic site for intercurrent illness visits for assessment, thick and thin blood smear, and filter paper blood collection, however these visits are not mandatory for study participation.

Being tested
Lamivudine, Lopinavir/Ritonavir, Nevirapine, Zidovudine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Lamivudine, Lopinavir/Ritonavir and Nevirapine in people with HIV Infections and Malaria, run by International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials Group at 3 sites in 3 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 19 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Malawi, Uganda, Zambia. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Parasitemia in blood samples (time frame: Throughout study). 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 NCT00719602, which also lists 3 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 19 Sep 2016.
