Trial summary

Sixty HIV participants will be enrolled and stratified by PBMC HIV DNA levels, either high (greater than or equal to 5000 copies/106 cells) or low (less than 5000 copies/106 cells). Individuals will be enrolled into each group until filled. 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 20 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: HIV-infected individuals meeting MOPH criteria to initiate HAART and planning to initiate HAART within a month of screening. Consequently, all participants will have plasma CD4 counts at less than 250 cells.

Who may be able to join

  • HIV-infected individuals meeting MOPH criteria to initiate HAART and planning to initiate HAART within a month of screening.
  • Consequently, all participants will have plasma CD4 counts at less than 250 cells.

Who cannot join

  • Head injury with loss of consciousness greater than 1 hour or cognitive sequela
  • Current/past illicit drug use or positive drug screen for methamphetamines, amphetamines, or cocaine at screening or entry.
  • Any of the following laboratory abnormalities:
  • PT/PTT > the upper limit of normal (ULN) or INR > 1.1
  • Hemoglobin < 9.0 mg/dL
  • ALT > 5x ULN
Show all 16Show fewer
  • serum creatinine > 2x ULN or creatinine clearance < 30 cc per min by Cockroft-Gault formula
  • Acute illness within 30 days prior, persistent and active AIDS-defining OI of any organ system or autoimmune disease.
  • Current or recent fevers or meningeal signs suggestive of CNS opportunistic infection
  • CNS opportunistic infection, past or present (Patients diagnosed with opportunistic infection after CSF examination will be excluded from further analysis. In such a situation, an additional patient will be enrolled)
  • History of pre-existing neurologic disease to include stroke, multiple sclerosis or psychiatric illness including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, panic attacks, major depression, or post traumatic stress disorder. Patients with past depression that is controlled and patients with or minor depressive symptoms will be allowed to enroll.
  • Known learning disability including dyslexia or unable to read or write basic Thai
  • Positive Hepatitis C serology (Hepatitis C Ab)
  • Confusion or other signs and symptoms of metabolic encephalopathy or delirium
  • Other conditions that could explain neurocognitive decline in the opinion of the investigator such as hypothyroidism, vitamin B12 deficiency or neurosyphilis
  • Pregnancy or metal objects that would preclude MRI

About this study

Sixty HIV participants will be enrolled and stratified by PBMC HIV DNA levels, either high (greater than or equal to 5000 copies/106 cells) or low (less than 5000 copies/106 cells). Individuals will be enrolled into each group until filled. Screening PBMC HIV DNA levels will be performed at SEARCH in real-time with less than one-week turn around time. All individuals will intend to initiate ARV due to meeting MOPH guidelines for such. The protocol team will work with the primary care physician to facilitate initiation of standard ARV care; however, initiation of ARV is not a requirement of the study and ARV will not be provided by the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Infections, run by SEARCH Research Foundation at 1 site in Thailand.

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 16 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 26 Sep 2014. 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 Thailand. 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?

To determine the long-term relationship between cognition and HIV DNA in circulating PBMCs and monocytes (CD14+ PBMCs) among patients initiating HAART for the first time (time frame: After March 30, 2016). 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 NCT00782808, 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 26 Sep 2014.
