About this study

Official title: A Phase 2/3, Open-Label Study of the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Antiviral Activity of the Elvitegravir/ Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Single Tablet Regimen (STR) in HIV-1 Infected Antiretroviral Treatment-Naive Adolescents

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the steady-state pharmacokinetics (PK) and confirm the dose of the elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF) single-tablet regimen (STR) (Part A) and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF STR through Week 48 (Part B) in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral (ARV) treatment-naive adolescents.

A total of 50 adolescent participants (12 to < 18 years of age) will be enrolled to receive EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF as follows:

  • Part A: Twelve to 16 eligible participants will be enrolled to evaluate steady-state PK, and confirm the dose, with the intent to enroll at least 4 participants 12 to < 15 and at least 4 participants 15 to < 18 years of age.
  • Part B: Following confirmation of EVG exposure in at least 12 participants from Part A, 34 to 38 participants in addition to those enrolled in Part A will be enrolled to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF STR.

EVG/COBI/FTC/TDFExperimentalParticipants will receive treatment for 48 weeks and then had the option to enter an Extension Phase to receive EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF until 1) the age of 18, 2) EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF becomes commercially available in the country the participant is enrolled, or 3) Gilead elects to terminate the development of EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF in that country.
Receives: Drug: EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF

What is being measured

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

  1. For Part A, Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: AUCtau of EVG

    AUCtau is defined as concentration of drug over time (the area under the concentration verses time curve over the dosing interval).

    Measured: Predose, 2, 4, 4.5, 5, 8, and 12 hours postdose on Day 10

  2. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and All Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs)

    Measured: Up to Week 48 plus 30 days

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. For Part A, PK Parameter: Ctau of EVG, FTC, Tenofovir (TFV), and COBI

    Ctau is defined as the observed drug concentration at the end of the dosing interval.

    Measured: Predose, 2, 4, 4.5, 5, 8, and 12 hours postdose on Day 10

  2. For Part A, PK Parameter: Cmax of EVG, FTC, TFV, and COBI

    Cmax is defined as the maximum concentration of drug.

    Measured: Predose, 2, 4, 4.5, 5, 8, and 12 hours postdose on Day 10

  3. For Part A, PK Parameter: AUCtau of FTC, TFV, and COBI

    AUCtau is defined as concentration of drug over time (the area under the concentration verses time curve over the dosing interval).

    Measured: Predose, 2, 4, 4.5, 5, 8, and 12 hours postdose on Day 10

  4. Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Weeks 24 and 48 as Defined by the FDA Snapshot Analysis

    Measured: Weeks 24 and 48

  5. Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 400 Copies/mL at Weeks 24 and 48 as Defined by the FDA Snapshot Analysis

    Measured: Weeks 24 and 48

  6. Change From Baseline in Plasma log10 HIV-1 RNA at Weeks 24 and 48

    Measured: Baseline; Weeks 24 and 48

  7. Change From Baseline in CD4+ Cell Count at Weeks 24 and 48

    Measured: Baseline; Weeks 24 and 48

  8. Change From Baseline in CD4 Percentage at Weeks 24 and 48

    Measured: Baseline; Weeks 24 and 48

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF in people with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome and HIV Infections, run by Gilead Sciences at 18 sites in 3 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 20 inclusion and 16 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 17 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in United States, South Africa, 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 combined 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Apr 2017). 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?

For Part A, Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: AUCtau of EVG (time frame: Predose, 2, 4, 4.5, 5, 8, and 12 hours postdose on Day 10). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01721109, which also lists 4 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 17 Aug 2018.
