Trial summary

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate how easy it is for female HIV- positive subjects taking Complera to comply with the dietary requirement using a food diary in the short term (4 weeks) and long term (24 weeks and 48 weeks) and to determine association between calorie intake and virologic suppression.

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 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: HIV positive females ≥ 18 years of age who are currently on Complera with suppressed viral load (VL) defined as having VL <50 copies/ml in the 6 months prior to study entry and no known resistance to FTC, TDF, or rilpivirine. Subjects may or may not be of child bearing potential.

Who may be able to join

  • HIV-1 infection documented by HIV serology or detectable viral load at any point prior to study entry or other documentation confirming HIV infection. If no documentation is available to confirm HIV infection, a rapid test may be performed to document HIV infection.
  • HIV+ female ≥18 years old and obtaining care at UNC Health Care Infectious Diseases Clinic, Wake County Human Services Clinic, or Durham County Early Intervention Clinic. Patients receiving care at other clinics may be entered with approval of the study team.
  • HIV viral load (VL) < 50 copies/ml as measured by any FDA-approved test for quantifying HIV-1 RNA during the six months prior to study entry (PSE). The timing of the viral load may be longer than 6 months depending on the schedule of the last clinic visit attended by the subject. The intent of the protocol was to assess viral load status at the previous clinic visit which may occur at an interval longer than six months due to the scheduling constraints of the UNC Infectious Diseases clinic. Viral loads drawn > than 6 months (but not > 8 months) prior to the study entry visit are acceptable. A single "blip" of > 50 and < 200 copies/ml is permissible provided the most recent VL is <50 copies/ml.
  • No documented resistance to FTC, TDF or rilpivirine. Note: genotyping will not be performed on study. Subjects with no historical genotype will be considered to have no documented resistance.
  • Able and willing to provide informed consent.
  • In the opinion of the investigator, able to comply with study medication and procedures, including ability to complete food diary.
  • Willing to receive monthly phone calls.
  • Agreement between ID clinic provider and study team that clinical monitoring and care of patient will reside with the ID clinic provider. The study responsibility is limited to providing 48 weeks of Complera.

Who cannot join

  • Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would be likely to interfere with ability to take the study medications appropriately and comply with the study protocol.
  • Current active illness requiring systemic treatment and/or hospitalization until the individual completes therapy or, in the opinion of the investigator, is clinically stable on therapy for at least 7 days prior to study entry.
  • Acute viral hepatitis.
  • Known allergy/hypersensitivity to components of the study drugs or their formulations.
  • Current or expected use of medication on the prohibited medication list.

About this study

Official title: CID 1213 - Assessing Short and Long Term Compliance With Caloric Intake in HIV Positive Women After Switching to Fixed Dose Combination of Rilpivirine, Emtricitabine and Tenofovir DF

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate how easy it is for female HIV- positive subjects taking Complera to comply with the dietary requirement using a food diary in the short term (4 weeks) and long term (24 weeks and 48 weeks) and to determine association between calorie intake and virologic suppression. A secondary goal of the study is to evaluate subjects' attitudes towards contraception.

What is being measured

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

  1. Compliance with meal instruction

    Compliance will be assessed monthly by a subject-completed food diary and phone assessments.

    Measured: once per month over 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluation of subjects' attitudes toward contraception

    Subjects are questioned about their contraceptive choices.

    Measured: up to 48 weeks

  2. Association between caloric intake and virologic suppression

    Measured: up to 48 weeks

  3. Assessment of medication adherence

    Subjects will self-report adherence on a visual analog scale.

    Measured: up to 48 weeks

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 5 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 2 Dec 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?

Compliance with meal instruction (time frame: once per month over 48 weeks). 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 NCT01701895, which also lists 12 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 2 Dec 2015.
