About this study

Official title: A Pilot Phase II Study of a Nucleoside Sparing Regimen of Dolutegravir + Atazanavir/r in HIV-1 Infected Patients With Detectable Viremia (DOLATAV Study)

Research ipotesis is to assess the efficacy and safety of a nucleos(t)ide sparing regimen of atazanavir/ritonavir 300 mg /100 mg QD + Dolutegravir 50 mg QD for the management of virological failure in HIV-1 infected patients.

The Primary Objective is to explore the 24-week efficacy of a nucleos(t)ide sparing regimen of atazanavir 300 mg QD/ ritonavir 100 mg QD + Dolutegravir 50 mg QD for the management of virologic failure in HIV-1 infected, integrase inhibitor-naïve subjects.

Read the detailed description

Study design;

  • 24-week prospective, single-arm, monocentric, open label, pilot study Participants will be seen at screening, baseline, day 8 and at week 4, 8, 12, 16, 24.

At each visit the following evaluations will be performed:

  • clinical assessment.
  • routine laboratory tests (hematological tests and clinical chemistry) including hemochromocytometric examination with leukocytic formula, creatinine, creatine kinase, transaminases, phosphorus, calcium, alkaline phosphatase, total and direct bilirubin, gammaGT, uric acid, lactate dehydrogenase, urine analysis, glucose, lipid profile, HIV-RNA and CD4 cell counts.

Additional blood samples will be collected at each visit for storage and further determinations.

During follow-up, at different timepoints, patients will additionally undergo:

  • HbA1c and fasting insulin levels and HOMA-IR determination (baseline, week 12, week 24)
  • Adherence assessment (questionnaire and/or pills counts) at week 4, 12 and 24.
  • ECG (baseline and week 24)

Protocol virologic failure is defined as

  • < 1 log10 decrease in plasma HIV-1 RNA by week 12, with subsequent confirmation, unless plasma HIV-RNA < 200 copies/ml OR
  • a confirmed rebound in plasma HIV-RNA levels ≥ 50 copies/ml after prior confirmed suppression to < 50 copies/ml OR a confirmed plasma increase in HIV-1 RNA levels > 1log10 copies/ml above the nadir value where nadir is ≥ 50 copies/ml OR
  • a plasma HIV-1 RNA level ≥ 50 copies/ml at week 24

Subjects who meet a protocol-defined virologic failure during follow-up will be discontinued from the study.

Patients who suppress HIV-1 RNA < 50 cp/ml before week 24 and have a viral blip ≥ 50 copies/ml at week 24 will undergo a plasma HIV-1 RNA re-test to confirm the virologic failure. At virologic failure subjects will perform genotypic and phenotypic tests and a plasma determination of ATV and DTG Cthrough.

No changes in study treatment are allowed with the exception of ritonavir (RTV) discontinuation in patients with hyperbilirubinemia and/or gastrointestinal adverse events judged as RTV-related by the Investigator. In this case, subjects will remain on study using the regimen ATV 400mg QD + DTG 50mg QD. The discontinuation of RTV will not be considered as treatment failure.

In subjects with plasma HIV-RNA < 50 copies/ml at week 24, the study treatment will be successively provided by Italian National Health system.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing atazanavir 300 mg + ritonavir 100 mg + dolutegravir 50 mg in people with HIV-1 Infection, run by Castagna Antonella at 1 site in Italy.

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 11 inclusion and 11 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 13 Feb 2024. 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 Italy. 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 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.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Primary endpoint - The proportion of patients with undetectable HIV RNA viral load ( < 50 copies/ml) at week 24 (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 NCT02542852, which also lists 8 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 13 Feb 2024.
