What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02532673
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hyperbilirubinemia CohortPatients will be included who have evidence of hyperbilirubinemia (laboratory test of grade 2 or greater or > 2 medical claims with an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification code of 782.4 or 277.4 in any position) in the first 90 days after initiating Atazanavir therapy.
Non-hyperbilirubinemia cohortPatients will be included who have no evidence of hyperbilirubinemia (no laboratory test of grade 2 or greater or any medical claims with an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification of 782.4 or 277.4 in any position) in the 12-month follow-up period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Atazanavir persistence among treated patients who develop hyperbilirubinemia compared with Atazanavir-treated patients without evidence of hyperbilirubinemia

    Discontinuation rate, defined as proportion of patients having discontinued Atazanavir at 1 year, of HBR vs. non-HBR patients. Persistence, defined as mean days to Atazanavir discontinuation, of HBR vs non-HBR patients. Compliance defined as mean medication-possession ratio of HBR vs non-HBR patients

    Measured: One year after starting Atazanavir

  2. Atazanavir compliance among treated patients who develop hyperbilirubinemia compared with Atazanavir-treated patients without evidence of hyperbilirubinemia

    Discontinuation rate, defined as proportion of patients having discontinued Atazanavir at 1 year, of HBR vs. non-HBR patients. Persistence, defined as mean days to Atazanavir discontinuation, of HBR vs non-HBR patients. Compliance defined as mean medication-possession ratio of HBR vs non-HBR patients

    Measured: One year after starting Atazanavir

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Healthcare costs for HBR vs non-HBR patients

    Health care costs:

    Health care costs will be computed as the combined health plan and patient paid amounts for all claims in the 12-month post-index period. Mean costs will be calculated for total costs, medical costs, pharmacy costs, ambulatory costs, emergency services costs, inpatient costs, and other costs.

    • Costs will be adjusted into 2013 US dollars using the annual medical care component of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to reflect inflation between 2003 and 2013

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Health care resource utilization for HBR vs non-HBR patients

    Health care resource utilization:

    Binary indicators and counts of mean number of ambulatory visits (office and outpatient), ER visits, and inpatient admissions over 12 months will be calculated. Total number of inpatient days and mean length of inpatient stay will also will be captured.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Changes (increase, decrease, no change) in the grade of bilirubin laboratory test results during follow-up among Atazanavir-treated patients who develop hyperbilirubinemia

    Grade of the bilirubin test result will be captured and defined as follows: Grade 0 = normal; Grade 1 ≥ 1.0 to 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (x ULN), Grade 2 ≥1.5 to 2.5 x ULN; Grade 3 ≥ 2.5 to 5 x ULN; Grade 4 ≥ 5 x ULN

    The upper limit of normal range was used to standardize the laboratory results across different lab systems. Each laboratory vendor provides a normal range for their results. These results were then transformed based on the normal ranges provided. The ranges below were used to categorize the patients:

    =0, if result in normal rage

    =1, if result > 1.0-1.5 times the upper limit of normal (x ULN)

    =2, if result > 1.5-2.5 x ULN

    =3, if result > 2.5-5 x ULN

    =4, if result > 5 x ULN

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Rate of Human immunodeficiency virus viral suppression among patients treated with Atazanavir who develop hyperbilirubinemia compared with patients without evidence of hyperbilirubinemia

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Liver function based on Alanine aminotransferase and Aspartate aminotransferase test results among patients treated with Atazanavir who develop hyperbilirubinemia compared with patients without evidence of hyperbilirubinemia

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV/AIDS, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

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 0 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 26 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Atazanavir persistence among treated patients who develop hyperbilirubinemia compared with Atazanavir-treated patients without evidence of hyperbilirubinemia (time frame: One year after starting Atazanavir). 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?
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 26 Aug 2015.
