Trial summary

Raltegravir is a potent antiretroviral agent that could be used as an alternative to efavirenz in HIV-1 infected patients with tuberculosis. However due to pharmacokinetic interactions, the optimal dose of raltegravir to be used in combination with rifampin is currently unknown. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Open-label Randomized Multicenter Trial to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Two Different Doses of Raltegravir and Efavirenz, All in Combination With Tenofovir and Lamivudine, in Naive HIV-1-infected Patients Receiving Rifampin for Active Tuberculosis

Raltegravir is a potent antiretroviral agent that could be used as an alternative to efavirenz in HIV-1 infected patients with tuberculosis. However due to pharmacokinetic interactions, the optimal dose of raltegravir to be used in combination with rifampin is currently unknown.

This phase II open-label randomized multicenter trial is designed to estimate the antiviral efficacy of two doses of raltegravir and one dose of efavirenz at week 24, in HIV-1 naive patients co-infected with active tuberculosis (TB) treated with rifampin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Virologic success, using Time to Loss of Virologic Response (TLOVR) algorithm: -Plasma HIV RNA below 50 copies/ml at week 20, confirmed at week 24 -Absence of permanent treatment discontinuation -Absence of death -Still follow-up at week 24

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Proportion of patients with virologic response with the following definitions: - Plasma HIV RNA <50 copies/ml at week 24 - Rate of strategy discontinuation and treatment changes - Proportion of death - Proportion of patients loss to follow-up

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Proportion of patients with virologic response with the following definitions: o Plasma HIV RNA <50 copies/ml o Plasma HIV RNA <400 copies/ml

    Measured: 24 and 48 weeks

  3. Evolution in HIV RNA and HIV DNA (total and 2 LTR circular) from baseline to week 48

    Measured: 48 weeks

  4. Rate of viral resistance mutations in the plasma at the time of virologic failure and in comparison with HIV-RNA mutations at W0

    Measured: At the time of virologic failure

  5. Evolution of CD4 cell counts from baseline to week 48

    Measured: 48 weeks

  6. Frequency, type and time to a new AIDS-defining event or death

    Measured: Through out the trial

  7. Frequency, type, time to grade 3 or 4 adverse event

    Measured: Through out the trial

  8. Rate of success of TB treatment

    Measured: 48 weeks

  9. Anti-TB resistance rate

    Measured: 48 weeks

  10. Evolution of raltegravir and efavirenz trough concentration

    Measured: Through out the trial

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing efavirenz and raltegravir in people with HIV Infections and Tuberculosis, run by ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases at 9 sites in 2 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 10 inclusion and 8 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 17 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Brazil, France. 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?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Virologic success, using Time to Loss of Virologic Response (TLOVR) algorithm: -Plasma HIV RNA below 50 copies/ml at week 20, confirmed at week 24 -Absence of permanent treatment discontinuation -Absence of death -Still follow-up at week 24 (time frame: 24 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 NCT00822315, 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 17 Jul 2013.
