About this study

Official title: A Long Term Open-Label Extension Study Of Lersivirine For The Treatment Of HIV-1 Infection

This is a study to assess long-term safety and efficacy of lersivirine in patients who have completed 96 weeks of treatment with lersivirine in studies A5271015 and A5271022.

Read the detailed description

The trial was terminated prematurely on January 29, 2013, due to the decision of the sponsor to discontinue development of lersivirine. The decision to terminate the trial was not based on any safety or efficacy concerns.

Conditions
HIV-1
Being tested
lersivirine, efavirenz, etravirine

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Plasma Human Immunodeficiency Virus - 1 (HIV-1) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Level <50 Copies/mL at 144 Weeks From Day 1 of the Parent Protocol

    Number of participants with HIV-1 RNA level <50 copies/mL plasma was summarized at 48 weeks i.e. 144 weeks from Day 1 of the parent protocol. Roche Amplicor HIV-1 Monitor assay was used to measure the HIV-1 RNA level.

    Measured: 144 Weeks from Day 1 of the parent protocol

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants With Plasma HIV-1 RNA Level <50 Copies/mL up to Week 208

    Number of participants with HIV-1 RNA level <50 copies/mL plasma was summarized at last visit. Abbott RealTime HIV-1 assay was used to measure the HIV-1 RNA level.

    Measured: Up to Week 208

  2. Change From Baseline in CD4+ Lymphocyte Counts (Absolute) at 144 Weeks From Day 1 of the Parent Protocol

    Participant's immunological status assessed by CD4+ lymphocyte count (absolute and percentage) at 48 weeks (ie, 144 weeks from Day 1 of the parent protocol)

    Measured: 144 Weeks from Day 1 of the parent protocol

  3. Change From Baseline in CD4+ Lymphocyte Counts (Percentage) at 144 Weeks From Day 1 of the Parent Protocol

    Participant's immunological status assessed by CD4+ lymphocyte count (absolute and percentage) at 48 weeks (ie, 144 weeks from Day 1 of the parent protocol)

    Measured: 144 Weeks from Day 1 of the parent protocol

  4. Change From Baseline in CD4+ Lymphocyte Counts (Absolute) at 192 Weeks From Day 1 of the Parent Protocol

    Participant's immunological status assessed by CD4+ lymphocyte count (absolute and percentage) at 192 weeks from Day 1 of the parent protocol.

    Measured: 192 Weeks from Day 1 of the parent protocol

  5. Change From Baseline in CD4+ Lymphocyte Counts (Percentage) at 192 Weeks From Day 1 of the Parent Protocol

    Participant's immunological status assessed by CD4+ lymphocyte count (absolute and percentage) at 192 weeks from Day 1 of the parent protocol.

    Measured: 192 Weeks from Day 1 of the parent protocol

  6. Virology Analysis Participant Accountability From Week 96 Through Study Termination

    Virology analysis included virus susceptibility (phenotype and genotype)to a standard panel of approved antiretrovirals as determined by the Monogram Biosciences PhenoSense GT assay. Below analysis table included the following parameters: 1. "protocol-defined treatment failure" was defined as an increase in HIV-1 RNA to detectable levels (≥50 copies/mL) on 2 consecutive measurements, the second measurement taken no more than 14 days after the first measurement); 2. "Treatment failure": treatment failure (both virologic and non-virologic) was defined as a subject who met the protocol-defined treatment failure criterion or discontinued from the study; 3. "NRTI or NNRTI resistance mutations": nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor or lersivirine-associated resistance-associated mutations (RAM) based on the International AIDS Society-USA (IAS-USA) RAM guidelines; 4. 'with result' meant an analyzed sample returned genotypic result or phenotypic result or both.

    Measured: Week 96 through study termination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing lersivirine, efavirenz and etravirine in people with HIV-1, run by Pfizer at 23 sites in 9 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 3 inclusion and 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in South Africa, Canada, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Australia and 4 more countries. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jun 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Plasma Human Immunodeficiency Virus - 1 (HIV-1) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Level <50 Copies/mL at 144 Weeks From Day 1 of the Parent Protocol (time frame: 144 Weeks from Day 1 of the parent protocol). 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 9 Jun 2014.
