  • Ages 6 to 12 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: HIV-infected children (6-12 years) using once daily darunavir/ritonavir.

Who may be able to join

  • Parents/carers are able and willing to sign the informed consent form prior to screening evaluations
  • Subject is HIV infected
  • Subject is at least 6 and less than 12 years at day of screening
  • Subject has a body weight of at least 15kg
  • Subject is able to swallow tablets
  • Subject has an undetectable viral load (<50 copies/mL) for the last 6 months prior to screening (at least 2 measurements)

  • Receiving concomitant therapy except for prophylaxis for opportunistic infections; some treatments may be allowed, but must first be discussed with the principal investigator or project manager.

About this study

Official title: Once Daily Darunavir/Ritonavir in HIV-infected Children 6-12 Years Old: a Pharmacokinetic Validation of Model Based Dosing Recommendations

Darunavir/ritonavir is one of the preferred antiretroviral agents as part of combination antiretroviral therapy for treatment of HIV-infected adults according to international guidelines. For children 3-12 years old, FDA has approved once daily dosing of darunavir/ritonavir. Dosing recommendations for children 6-12 years old have been approved based on a modelling and simulation procedure by the company.

This pharmacokinetic study is designed to validate the proposed dosing recommendation for once daily darunavir/ritonavir in HIV-infected children aged 6-12 years old.

Read the detailed description

The EMA and FDA recommended weight band dosing for once daily DRV/r dosing in children 3 -12 years of age has been derived from pharmacokinetic modelling. Results from population pharmacokinetic modelling and simulation in these children predict similar DRV plasma exposures compared to treatment-naïve adults, but has not been formally studied in the target population. Although no clinical trial was conducted to collect exposure-safety data, the predicted exposures from the once daily dosing is supported by exposures observed in a paediatric clinical trial where twice-daily dosing was administered. To validate the weight band based dosing recommendations, we want to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of DRV/r administered once daily, using DRV tablets, in HIV-infected children.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Children, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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 7 Dec 2020. 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 Netherlands. 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?

The exposure of darunavir, compared to the target exposure (AUC0-24) in adults (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT02285478, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Dec 2020.
