About this study

Official title: A Phase 2/3 Multicenter, Open-Label, Multicohort, Two-Part Study Evaluating the Pharmacokinetics (PK), Safety, and Antiviral Activity of Elvitegravir (EVG) Administered With a Background-Regimen (BR) Containing a Ritonavir-Boosted Protease Inhibitor (PI/r) in HIV-1 Infected, Antiretroviral Treatment-Experienced Pediatric Subjects

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability and steady-state PK and confirm the dose of EVG/r in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-experienced children 4 weeks to <18 years of age.

The study consists of 2 parts: Part A and Part B. Part A will enroll participants with suppressed viremia (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) or failing a current antiretroviral (ARV) regimen (HIV-1 RNA > 1,000 copies/mL only for participants in Cohort 2, Part A) to evaluate the steady state PK and confirm the dose of EVG. Part B will enroll participants who are failing a current ARV regimen (HIV-1 RNA > 1,000 copies/mL) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of EVG. The study consists of 4 age cohorts with each cohort including 2 parts (Part A and Part B) with the exception of the adolescent age cohort (Cohort 1: 12 to < 18 years old) containing Part B only.

What is being measured

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

  1. 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 and up to 12 hours postdose on Day 10

  2. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Cmax of EVG at Day 10

    Cmax is defined as the maximum concentration of drug.

    Measured: Predose and up to 12 hours postdose on Day 10

  3. Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-emergent Adverse Events

    Measured: Baseline up to the last dose date plus 30 days (maximum exposure: 173.6 weeks for participants age 6 to < 18 Years Screening HIV-1 RNA > 1000 copies/mL and 2.0 weeks for participants age 6 to < 12 Years Screening HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL)

  4. Percentage of Participants Experiencing Laboratory Abnormalities

    Treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities were defined as values that increase at least one toxicity grade from baseline. The most severe graded abnormality from all tests was counted for each subject. The criteria used to grade laboratory results were as follows: Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), and Grade 4 (life-threatening).

    Measured: Baseline up to the last dose date plus 30 days (maximum exposure: 173.6 weeks for participants age 6 to < 18 Years Screening HIV-1 RNA > 1000 copies/mL and 2.0 weeks for participants age 6 to < 12 Years Screening HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL)

Secondary outcomes (18)
  1. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Ctau of EVG

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

    Measured: Predose and up to 12 hours postdose on Day 10

  2. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: CL/F of EVG

    CL/F is defined as the apparent oral clearance following administration of the drug.

    Measured: Predose and up to 12 hours postdose on Day 10

  3. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Vz/F of EVG

    Vz/F is defined as the apparent volume of distribution of the drug.

    Measured: Predose and up to 12 hours postdose on Day 10

  4. Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 24 as Defined by the FDA Snapshot Algorithm

    The percentage of participants achieving HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 24 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defines a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within an allowed window of time, along with study drug discontinuation status.

    The percentage of participants achieving HIV-1 RNA < 400 copies/mL at Week 24 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defines a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within an allowed window of time, along with study drug discontinuation status.

    Measured: Week 24

  7. Percentage of Participants With Plasma HIV-1 RNA < 400 Copies/mL at Week 48 as Defined by the FDA Snapshot Algorithm

  14. Tanner Stage Evaluation by Sex at Week 24

    Tanner Stage (pubic hair and breasts for females; pubic hair and genitalia for males) at Week 24 visit was summarized using frequency count and percentage. Tanner Stages is a scale that defines physical measurements of development based on external primary and secondary sex characteristics. It was used in this study to assess pubertal development with values ranging from Stage 1 (pre-pubertal characteristics) to Stage 5 (adult or mature characteristics).

  15. Tanner Stage Evaluation by Sex at Week 48

    Tanner Stage (pubic hair and breasts for females; pubic hair and genitalia for males) at Week 48 visit was summarized using frequency count and percentage. Tanner Stages is a scale that defines physical measurements of development based on external primary and secondary sex characteristics. It was used in this study to assess pubertal development with values ranging from Stage 1 (pre-pubertal characteristics) to Stage 5 (adult or mature characteristics).

    Measured: Week 48

  16. Age of First Menses

    Age of first menses for female participants.

    Measured: Baseline through end of study (maximum exposure: 173.6 weeks for participants age 6 to < 18 Years with Screening HIV-1 RNA > 1000 copies/mL and 2.0 weeks for participants age 6 to < 12 Years with Screening HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing EVG and Background regimen in people with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and HIV Infections, run by Gilead Sciences at 11 sites in 6 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 14 inclusion and 19 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 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 11 sites in United States, South Africa, Spain, Thailand, Italy and 1 more country. 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 11 Jul 2018). 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?

Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: AUCtau of EVG (time frame: Predose and up to 12 hours postdose on Day 10). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Aug 2018.
