Trial summary

The main goal is to confirm, among HIV1-infected patients, data from in vitro studies showing that antiretroviral therapies induce an accelerated aging through the same mechanisms than genetic laminopathies or than "physiological " aging, that is through the synthesis and persistence of farnesylated prelamin A.

About this study

The main goal is to confirm, among HIV1-infected patients, data from in vitro studies showing that antiretroviral therapies induce an accelerated aging through the same mechanisms than genetic laminopathies or than "physiological " aging, that is through the synthesis and persistence of farnesylated prelamin A. The secondary goal is to measure the impact of HIV infection and of antiretroviral therapies on markers of cell ageing (proteasome, mitochondria, telomere). The perspective is to fix antiretroviral therapy side effects using the same drug combination that will be used in few weeks in Marseille to treat children suffering from progeria

Read the detailed description

Protease inhibitors block viral protease, as well as various other cell enzymes : ZMPSTE24 cliping off prelamin A into mature lamin A ; at least one of the Golgi proteases involved in the release of SREBP, controlling the transcription of lipid metabolism regulating genes ; mitochondrial proteases involved in the importation and further maturation of nuclear genome encoded proteins ; proteasome regulating the transcription of several genes through NF-B ; P450 cytochromes. Nucleosides inhibitors of the viral reverse transcriptase exhibit nuclear and mitochondrial DNA toxicity, disrupt lipid and protein glycosylation and inhibit telomerase. Therefore antiretroviral therapies target several pathways involved in accelerated or normal aging. Their combined effects are added to viral infection direct symptoms or to cell abnormalities induced by viral proteins.

Our multicentric (the 3 CISIH from Marseille, Nice and Montpellier) 3 year- long study will analyse 50 HIV1-infected naive patients (A group), apparied to 50 age- and sex-matched seronegative control subjects (recruited by CIC-UPCET of Marseille) and 100 HIV1-infected patients in first line of antiretroviral therapy for at least 12 months (B group). Patients of group A and B will be recruited in the 3 clinical unit. The HIV1- infected patients will be evaluated four times, at baseline, then every 12 months during 3 years. In case of initiation or changing of antiretroviral therapy, patients will be evaluated once more. Control subjects will be only evaluated at baseline.

Peripheral blood biological tests will be the following [Laboratory designation] : i/ viral load measurement, PBMC isolation, DNA extraction, proviral DNA measurement, cell and DNA storage [Virology, Timone CHU, Marseille]; ii/ assays of CD4, CD8, glycemia, insulinemia, HOMA, total-, LDL- and HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides [Biochemistry labs from the 3 CHU] ; iii/ antiretroviral drug assay (mass spectrometry) [Pharmacokinetics, Timone CHU, Marseille]; iv/ detection (western blotting, immunocytochemistry combined to image analysis of nuclear abnormalities) of PBMC nuclear, cytosolic and mitochondrial targets of antiretroviral drugs : A and B lamins, NF-B + I-B and proteasome activity assay, CD36 (glycosylation), mitochondrial Hsp70, ROS mitochondrial production, mitochondrial inner membrane potential, cytochrome C oxidase subunits 2 and 4 [Cell Biology, Timone CHU, Marseille] ; v/ genotyping the antiretroviral targets : lamin A (ZMPSTE24) and B (Rce1) processing proteases, Golgi SREBP-releasing proteases (MBTPS1 and S2), mitochondrial deoxynucleoside transporters (SLC25A4 to A6), mitochondrial proteases (MPPA, paraplegin) involved in processing of nuclear encoded proteins during their mitochondrial import ; quantitative PCR measurement of telomere length [Molecular Genetics, Timone CHU, Marseille]. Marseille's CIC-UPCET collaborated to the protocol design, will recruit control subjects and will be responsible for statistical treatment of data.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Infection and Aging Accelerated, run by French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis 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 6 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 27 Dec 2012. 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?

lamin A measurement by western blotting. 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 NCT01038999, which also lists 2 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 27 Dec 2012.
