Study population: Adult subjects (≥ 18 years of age) infected with HIV-1 treated in the Infectious Disease Clinic at Duke University Medical Center between 3/1/98 to 3/1/08 who meet eligibility criteria.

  • Subjects within this group that remain on ART for an additional 12 months (total 24 months) as initiated with substitution allowed for toxicity management within the same class of drug will continue to be followed longitudinally for the 24 month period;
  • Availability of repository samples.
  • Followed in the Duke Primary Care Clinics during the years of inclusion with available data on weight, race and gender.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy during period of observation or within 6 months of study entry;
  • Malignancy (other than squamous or basal cell carcinomas of the skin);
  • Newly diagnosed thyroid disorder within 6 months of study entry;
  • Use of megace or marinol;
  • Long-term use of glucocorticoids (greater than 1 month of prednisone 5mg or higher or an equivalent dose of another glucocorticoid);

About this study

Official title: Changes in Overweight/Obesity Status, hsCRP, and D-dimer in HIV-infected Patients After 12 Months of Initial Antiretroviral Treatment

This is a retrospective longitudinal study that evaluates the prevalence and incidence of overweight/obesity within an HIV-infected population before and after 12 and 24 months of a stable antiretroviral therapy (ART). The study group will be compared to the weight of a healthy, matched population that is not infected with HIV. The primary hypothesis states that the proportion of HIV-infected persons newly classified as overweight/obese will increase by ≥20% after 12 months of initial ART, and this incidence will be greater than that of a matched HIV-uninfected control population. The effect of immune function variables, such as CD4, HIV viral load, and ART regimen on weight will be analyzed. In addition, the study will analyze the effect of weight and immune function markers on the inflammatory markers, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and D-dimer. An HIV samples repository will be used for specimens to be assayed for hsCRP and D-dimer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV and AIDS, run by Duke University at 1 site in United States.

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 22 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 14 Oct 2015. 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 United States. 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?

Change in BMI from baseline after 12 months of initial antiretroviral therapy (time frame: 12 months). 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 14 Oct 2015.
