About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Randomized Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Lower Dose Atazanavir /Ritonavir (ATV/r 200/100 OD) Versus Standard Dose (ATV/r 300/100 mg OD) in Combination With 2NRTIs in Well Virology Suppressed HIV-infected Adults

This study will compare the efficacy and safety of ATV/r at either 200/100 mg or 300/100mg given daily in Thai patients in combination with 2NRTIs.

Read the detailed description

To demonstrate non-inferiority of treatment with atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV/r) 200/100 mg once daily (OD) compared to the control group (ATV/r 300/100 mg OD) in regards to the proportion of virologic responders (plasma HIV RNA < 200 copies/mL) at 48 weeks in ARV-experienced HIV-1 infected subjects.

What participants receive

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

  • ATV/rDrug

    All participants will be randomized to take ATV/r 200 mg/100 mg OD or ATV/r 300/100 mg OD. NRTIs background regimens will remain unchanged if possible. NRTIs background may include zidovudine/lamivudine, zidovudine plus ddI, ddI plus lamivudine, tenofovir plus lamivudine, tenofovir/emtricitabine, zidovudine plus tenofovir. NRTI backbone could be switched or modified due to toxicity or intolerance

What is being measured

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

  1. noninferiority

    ATV/r 200/100 mg will be judged to be non-inferior to ATV 300/100mg if the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportion of patients with virological response between the two groups does not exceed -10%

    Measured: Dec. 2013

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. viral load

    A secondary efficacy analysis will explore the impact of changing the lower limit of detection of viral load to <50 copies/mL

    Measured: DEc. 2013

  2. serious adverse events

    Changes in HDL, LDL, cholesterol, triglycerides and bilirubin, or having grade 3 and 4 laboratory adverse events

    Measured: Dec. 2013

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ATV/r in people with HIV Infections, run by The HIV Netherlands Australia Thailand Research Collaboration at 10 sites in Thailand.

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 5 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 18 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Thailand. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

noninferiority (time frame: Dec. 2013). 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 NCT01159223, 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 18 Aug 2016.
