Trial summary

HIV infection is associated with an immune activation and an inflammatory response - despite an active antiretroviral therapy - which may lead notably but not exclusively to cardiovascular diseases. Read more about this study

About this study

HIV infection is associated with an immune activation and an inflammatory response - despite an active antiretroviral therapy - which may lead notably but not exclusively to cardiovascular diseases. It has been shown that the use of Protease Inhibitors (PI) instead of Non Nucleosidic Inhibitors (NNRTI) may increase the risk of myocardial infarction. Platelets may play a role in the occurrence of the inflammatory state: they contain big amounts of chemokines, growth factors, and adhesion proteins. Today, the contribution of platelets to the inflammatory state associated with HIV infection has been little studied. Thus, it has been shown that platelets in HIV patients are able to release interleukin (IL)-18. The group has shown with others that the platelet function could be altered during HIV infection. Inversely, it doesn't know how antiretroviral therapy interacts with platelets.

The aim of the study is to evaluate, according to the antiretroviral therapy, the impact on the platelets activation markers.

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasmatic level of sCD40L

    Comparison of plasmatic level of soluble Cluster Differentiation (sCD40L) between 2 groups : HIV patients treated by antiretroviral therapy and HIV patients untreated. sCD40L is measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in ng/ml.

    Measured: day 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. sCD40L level

    Comparison of plasmatic level of sCD40L between 2 groups : patients treated with 2 Nucleosidic analogs of Transcriptase Reverse Inhibitors (NRTIs ) and 1 Protease Inhibitors (PI) and patients treated with 2 NRTIs and 1 NNRTI. sCD40L is measured by ELISA in ng/ml.

    Measured: day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Human Immunodeficiency Virus, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 3 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 25 Aug 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 France. 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?

Plasmatic level of sCD40L (time frame: day 1). 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 25 Aug 2015.
