About this study

Official title: Virologic and Immunologic Evaluation of the Deep Viral Reservoirs in HIV-1 Infected Patients With Long Term Viral Suppression

Prospective study in HIV-1 infected patients with a plasma viral load below the limit of detection and stable for at least 5 years.

Read the detailed description

Evaluation of the mucosal HIV reservoirs (HIV-DNA quantification and distribution of the infected T lymphocytes in the gut mucosa associated lymphoid tissue compared to the blood in HIV-1 infected patients under antiretroviral treatment with an undetectable plasma viral load below the 50 copies/ml limit of detection for at least 5 years).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Rectal mucosa biopsyProcedure or surgery

    Collection of a maximum of 15 rectal mucosa samples in the high portion of the rectum near the rectosigmoidal junction

What is being measured

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

  1. Quantification of the HIV-RNA plasma viral load using ultrasensible assay (limit of detection: 1 copy/ml)

    Measured: Single patient visit

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Quantification of the HIV proviral DNA in the rectal mucosa biopsies and in the PPBMCs

    Measured: Single patient visit

  2. Quantitative, phenotypic and functional description of the long-term immune reconstitution in the rectal mucosa biopsies

    Measured: Single patient visit

  3. Quantification of HIV proviral DNA in the total CD4 lymphocytes

    Measured: Single patient visit

  4. Pharmacokinetics of the antiretroviral molecules in the rectal mucosa biopsies and in the blood

    Measured: Single patient visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV-1 Infection, run by Objectif Recherche Vaccins SIDA at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 13 Feb 2013. 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 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.

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?

Quantification of the HIV-RNA plasma viral load using ultrasensible assay (limit of detection: 1 copy/ml) (time frame: Single patient visit). 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 NCT01019044, 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 13 Feb 2013.
