What participants receive

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

  • kaletraDrug

    The study participants will receive Lopinavir/ritonavir heat-stable tablet (100/25 mg or 200/50 mg) q 12 hour plus NRTIs. The other NRTIs is depend on physician discretion.

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare the safety and efficacy of low-dose versus standard dose lopinavir/ritonavir containing HAART regimen in virological suppress, HIV RNA viral load < 50 copies/ml at 48 week

    proportion of patient who had HIV RNA < 50 copies/ml Safety issue: patient who had HIV RNA > 50 copies/ml during the study period will be checked for LPV blood level, if the LPV Cmin < 1 ug/ml. The dose of LPV/r will be adjusted to appropriate dose.

    Measured: 48 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing kaletra in people with HIV-infected Children, 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 3 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 25 Mar 2015. 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 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?

To compare the safety and efficacy of low-dose versus standard dose lopinavir/ritonavir containing HAART regimen in virological suppress, HIV RNA viral load < 50 copies/ml at 48 week (time frame: 48 week). 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 NCT01307124, 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 25 Mar 2015.
