About this study
Official title: Randomized Phase 3 Trial to Evaluate Two Simplified Antiretroviral Treatment Strategies in HIV Infected Children, Treated by Antiretroviral Triple Therapy Before One Year of Age, in Virological Success in Africa (Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Rwanda)
The MONOD trial aim to evaluate the implementation of early antiretroviral treatment strategies in HIV-infected infants and assess the feasibility and efficacy of simplifying the initial proposed regimen after a successful one year treatment. The initial treatment is AZT-3TC-LPV/r twice a day. After one year, the children will be randomized in one of the following : arm 1-reference AZT-3TC-LPV/r twice daily; arm 2-simplified ABC-3TC-EFV once daily.
The perspective of this project is to identify antiretroviral strategies to improve treatment access and adherence for children in sub-saharian Africa.

Measured: 6, 19 and 25 months
Tolerance
occurence of grade 3 and 4 adverse events related to the trial treatment, particularly occurence of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing AZT-3TC-LPV/r twice a day and ABC-3TC-EFV once a day in people with HIV Infections, run by ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases at 4 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 6 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 12 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire. 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 combined 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.
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 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?
Initial therapeutic cohort: Virological success (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01127204, which also lists 7 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 12 Jul 2016.
