Trial summary

This will be a retrospective analysis of efficacy, safety and tolerability of raltegravir as part of an optimized therapy in a clinical setting. Follow-up is calculated from the treatment initiation (with or without raltegravir) up to the date of discontinuation of the considered regimen or the date of last visit or… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This study will include subjects who received raltegravir and were previously exposed to NRTIs, NNRTIs, PIs, regardless of the stage of HIV disease at the start of the treatment. A control group will be used for the evaluation of the primary and secondary objectives in comparison to patients treated with raltegravir (study patients). The control group will be constituted by subjects who never received raltegravir, matched (in a ratio 1:3) with the study subjects by gender, age (± 3 years), CD4+ cells counts (± 50 cells) and HCV co-infection status yes/no). For control patients, the last antiretroviral regimen prescribed will be considered.

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects who received raltegravir and were previously exposed to NRTIs, NNRTIs, PIs, regardless of the stage of HIV disease at the start of the treatment.

Who cannot join

  • None

About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Raltegravir in a Large Urban HIV Clinic Population in Milan (Efficacy of Raltegravir in a Large Urban HIV Clinic Setting)

This will be a retrospective analysis of efficacy, safety and tolerability of raltegravir as part of an optimized therapy in a clinical setting.

Follow-up is calculated from the treatment initiation (with or without raltegravir) up to the date of discontinuation of the considered regimen or the date of last visit or the date of lost to follow-up, whichever came first.

The Aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of raltegravir-containing regimens in a urban clinic setting.

What is being measured

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

  1. Real-Life

    Primary endpoint is the proportion of patients with HIV-1 RNA<50 copies/ml at weeks 48 after treatment initiation (baseline).

    Measured: baseline and week 48

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Real-Life

    Secondary endpoints are:

    • Proportion of patients with HIV-1 RNA<50 copies/ml at the end of the treatment/last available visit
    • Proportion of patients with HIV-1 RNA<400 copies/ml at week 48
    • Increase in absolute CD4 cell count from baseline
    • Frequency of side effects associated with raltegravir treatment
    • Frequency of reasons for starting/stopping raltegravir treatment

    Measured: baseline and week 48

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Infections, run by Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 11 Feb 2013. 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 Italy. 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?

Real-Life (time frame: baseline and week 48). 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 NCT01467349, 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 11 Feb 2013.
