Trial summary

Triple antiretroviral regimens have greatly improved the prognosis of patients living with HIV (PLHIV). Patients virologically controlled and having a good immune restoration can have a life expectancy close or equal to that of people not infected with HIV.[1] However, this is under the condition of a "lifetime"… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of a Dolutegravir Monotherapy (Tivicay®) Versus the Maintenance of a Successful Triple Therapy Using Abacavir + Lamivudine + Dolutegravir (Triumeq®) in HIV-1- Infected Patients

Triple antiretroviral regimens have greatly improved the prognosis of patients living with HIV (PLHIV). Patients virologically controlled and having a good immune restoration can have a life expectancy close or equal to that of people not infected with HIV.[1] However, this is under the condition of a "lifetime" maintenance of an undetectable plasma viral load (pVL) (<50 cp/ml). On the other hand it is well established that aging increases comorbidities among PLHIV and the burden of co-medications.[2] This also has the consequence of frequent drug-drug interactions. In this context it is important to decrease pills burden, side-effects and drug-drug interactions, while maintaining undetectability.

Currently, there is a strong interest for medical research to validate lightened regimens (i.e. bithérapies [3-7] and monothérapies [8,9], particularly in a maintenance strategy, with the primary objective of reducing burden of pills and side effects. Several monotherapy trials using a boosted protease inhibitor (PI/r) showed high level of viral suppression, even if this proportion was not always non-inferior to maintaining a triple therapy. [8,9] Fortunately, when virological failure occurred under monotherapy virologic suppression was easily restored by the addition of two NRTI. Patients who are most likely to maintain viral suppression under a reduced scheme are those that have a high nadir (> 100 CD4 / mm3), no previous AIDS event and a sustained virologic suppression (>12 months).

Monotherapy is the option that best reduces the burden of pills and the risk of side effects or drug-drug interactions. It must be considered using very powerful molecule that harbor a strong binding to its ligand in order to minimize the risk of selecting resistant mutants in the case of virologic failure. To be as simple as possible in its use, it must be a single agent administered as a single dose once a day and not boosted if possible. The molecule must have very good tolerance. Finally, to be effective in viral sanctuaries this molecule should have a good (or sufficient) diffusion to ensure effective Cmin on wild viral strains. Dolutegravir meets all these exigences.[10] In addition, our team recently presented results of a pilot study showing that the switch of a successful combined antiretroviral regimen to dolutegravir monotherapy maintained undetectable viral load (<20 cp/ml) after a median of 7 months (range 6.5-10 months).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing dolutegravir 50mg +abacavir 600mg +lamivudine 300mg and dolutegravir in people with HIV, run by Centre Hospitalier Régional d'Orléans at 9 sites 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 10 inclusion and 18 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 13 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: 5 patients on tivicay had virological failure). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Viral Load (time frame: Week 24). 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 NCT02596334, which also lists 12 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 Nov 2018.
