About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of the Universal Use of EFV-TDF-FTC and AZT-3TC-LPV/r Combinations in Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women to Prevent mother-to Child Transmission of HIV-1 o, Resource-limited Settings: A Multicentre Randomized Phase 3 Clinical Trial

To assess the maternal and infant safety of a single daily fixed-dose combination of TDF/FTC/EFV (Atripla®), compared to the association of LPV/r (Kaletra® or Aluvia®) and 3TC/ZDV (Combivir®) given to African women to prevent overall MTCT in populations practicing breastfeeding.

Read the detailed description

The prevention of MTCT during pregnancy and through breastfeeding exposure remains challenging to date in most resource-limited settings. Peripartum HIV transmission is already amenable to ARV interventions. These ARV regimens, partially efficacious are insufficiently used despite their apparent simplicity. The postnatal transmission via breastfeeding remains a serious additional threat.

This is a multicentric, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial aiming at assessing the maternal and infant safety of a single daily fixed-dose combination of TDF/FTC/EFV (Atripla®), compared to the association of LPV/r (Kaletra® or Aluvia®) and 3TC/ZDV (Combivir®) given to African women (in Cote d'Ivoire an in Zambia) to prevent MTCT overall in breastfeeding population.

The fixed-dose combination of Tenofovir/Emtricitabine/Efavirenz (TDF/FTC/EFV or Atripla®) is a highly effective HAART combination and the simplest ARV regimen currently available in resource-limited settings and is therefore likely to become soon the lead first-line HAART regimen for adults in such settings. Its anticipated widespread prescription in women of childbearing age requires the proper documentation of its use in pregnancy and during breastfeeding.

The combination of ZDV/3TC (Combivir®) and Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) (Kaletra® or Aluvia®) is chosen as a reference regimen as it is one of the most commonly used first-line HAART for adults and the reference regimen for PMTCT in industrialised settings.

The maternal ARV regimen will be initiated as soon as possible from 20 weeks of gestation until at least the cessation of breastfeeding (with the advice to cease at six months). The decision to stop or continue the maternal ARV regimen after breastfeeding cessation will be based on the baseline maternal CD4 count and the maternal clinical stage at baseline and/or at breastfeeding cessation. A woman with a baseline CD4 <500 cells/ml will always be proposed to continue her treatment after breastfeeding cessation. A woman with a baseline CD4 count >500 will be asked to stop her treatment after breastfeeding cessation unless she has reached the WHO clinical stage IV at that time.

Infants will receive daily Zidovudine syrup from birth during the first week of life, or an updated ARV post-exposure prophylaxis recommended by WHO when women receive HAART.

What is being measured

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

  1. cumulative occurence of : -adverse pregnancy outcomes (spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, congenital abnormality requiring surgical correction in children < 1 yr of age); -paediatric HIV infection; -infant mortality

    Measured: at 6 and 12 months following delivery/birth

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. occurence of grade 4 events in treated women, and of grade 3 or 4 events in ARV-exposed infants

    Measured: at 6 and 12 months following delivery/birth

  2. frequency of virological failure (>300 copies/mL) and viral resistance profile

    Measured: at 6 month and 12 months post-delivery

  3. frequency of premature delivery (<37 weeks) and frequency of low birth weight (<2500 g)

    Measured: at delivery/birth

  4. cumulative incidence of paediatric HIV infection

    Measured: at 12 months after delivery

  5. tolerability of the ARV combination in treated women

    Measured: at 6 and 12 months following delivery/birth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Efavirenz-Tenofovir-Emtricitabine and Zidovudine-Lamivudine-Lopinavir/Ritonavir in people with HIV Infection and Pregnancy, run by French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis at 2 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 9 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 15 Feb 2012. 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 Côte d’Ivoire, 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?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cumulative occurence of : -adverse pregnancy outcomes (spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, congenital abnormality requiring surgical correction in children < 1 yr of age); -paediatric HIV infection; -infant mortality (time frame: at 6 and 12 months following delivery/birth). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 15 Feb 2012.
