About this study

Official title: Phase IIb, Double-Blinded, Multicenter, Randomized Study to Assess the Effect on Central Nervous System (CNS) Toxicity of Switching From ATRIPLA™ (Efavirenz, Tenofovir, Emtricitabine) to MK-1439A (Doravirine, Tenofovir, Lamivudine) in Virologically-Suppressed Subjects.

This study aims to evaluate a switch from fixed dose combination (FDC) treatment with ATRIPLA^TM for 12 weeks prior to screening to FDC treatment with Doravirine, Tenofovir, Lamivudine (MK-1439A) in virologically-suppressed, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected participants. The primary hypothesis is that switching from ATRIPLA^TM to Doravirine, Tenofovir, Lamivudine results in a lower proportion of participants with at least one CNS toxicity of at least Grade 2 intensity at Week 12 than continuation of ATRIPLA^TM treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With at Least One Central Nervous System (CNS) Toxicity of at Least Grade 2 Intensity at Week 12

    A questionnaire was used to solicit for CNS toxicity based on the following 10 events: dizziness; depression/low mood; insomnia/sleeplessness; anxiety/nervousness; confusion; impaired concentration/attention; headache; somnolence/daytime sleepiness; aggressive mood/behavior; and abnormal dreams. Participants were asked to rate the intensity for each of the 10 events as none (Grade 0), mild (Grade 1), moderate (Grade 2), or severe (Grade 3). Mild = symptom is noticeable but does not interfere with normal activities; moderate = symptom has some impact on normal activities; severe = symptom prevents conduct of normal activities. Percentage of participants with at least one CNS toxicity of Grade 2 or higher were recorded, based on the last observation carried forward (LOCF) approach.

    Measured: Week 12

Secondary outcomes (19)

  1. Percentage of Participants With at Least One CNS Toxicity of at Least Grade 2 Intensity at Week 4

    A questionnaire was used to solicit for CNS toxicity based on the following 10 events: dizziness; depression/low mood; insomnia/sleeplessness; anxiety/nervousness; confusion; impaired concentration/attention; headache; somnolence/daytime sleepiness; aggressive mood/behavior; and abnormal dreams. Participants were asked to rate the intensity for each of the 10 events as none (Grade 0), mild (Grade 1), moderate (Grade 2), or severe (Grade 3). Mild = symptom is noticeable but does not interfere with normal activities; moderate = symptom has some impact on normal activities; severe = symptom prevents conduct of normal activities. Percentage of participants with at least one CNS toxicity of Grade 2 or higher were recorded, based on the last observation carried forward (LOCF) approach.

    Measured: Week 4

  2. Change From Baseline in CNS Toxicity Score at Week 4

    A questionnaire was used to solicit for CNS toxicity based on the following 10 events: dizziness; depression/low mood; insomnia/sleeplessness; anxiety/nervousness; confusion; impaired concentration/attention; headache; somnolence/daytime sleepiness; aggressive mood/behavior; and abnormal dreams. Participants were asked to rate the intensity for each of the 10 events as none (Grade 0), mild (Grade 1), moderate (Grade 2), or severe (Grade 3). Mild = symptom is noticeable but does not interfere with normal activities; moderate = symptom has some impact on normal activities; severe = symptom prevents conduct of normal activities. The CNS toxicity score was calculated by summing across all 10 CNS toxicities and converting the sum to a percentage of the maximum possible sum of intensities (10 x 3 = 30). A positive change from baseline score indicates worsening symptoms. A negative change from baseline score indicates improvement in symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 4

  3. Change From Baseline in CNS Toxicity Score at Week 12

    A questionnaire was used to solicit for CNS toxicity based on the following 10 events: dizziness; depression/low mood; insomnia/sleeplessness; anxiety/nervousness; confusion; impaired concentration/attention; headache; somnolence/daytime sleepiness; aggressive mood/behavior; and abnormal dreams. Participants were asked to rate the intensity for each of the 10 events as none (Grade 0), mild (Grade 1), moderate (Grade 2), or severe (Grade 3). Mild = symptom is noticeable but does not interfere with normal activities; moderate = symptom has some impact on normal activities; severe = symptom prevents conduct of normal activities. The CNS toxicity score was calculated by summing across all 10 CNS toxicities and converting the sum to a percentage of the maximum possible sum of intensities (10 x 3 = 30). A positive change from baseline score indicates worsening symptoms. A negative change from baseline score indicates improvement in symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  4. Percentage of Participants With at Least One CNS Toxicity of at Least Grade 2 Intensity at Time of Switch, and at 24 Weeks Post-switch for the Combined Treatment Groups

    A questionnaire was used to solicit for CNS toxicity based on the following 10 events: dizziness; depression/low mood; insomnia/sleeplessness; anxiety/nervousness; confusion; impaired concentration/attention; headache; somnolence/daytime sleepiness; aggressive mood/behavior; and abnormal dreams. Participants were asked to rate the intensity for each of the 10 events as none (Grade 0), mild (Grade 1), moderate (Grade 2), or severe (Grade 3). Mild = symptom is noticeable but does not interfere with normal activities; moderate = symptom has some impact on normal activities; severe = symptom prevents conduct of normal activities. For the Immediate Switch Group (ISG) time of switch was study Day 1, and week 24 post-switch was week 24. For the Delayed Switch Group (DSG) time of switch was study week 12, and week 24 post-switch was week 36.

    Measured: Baseline (time of switch) and 24 weeks post-switch

  5. CNS Toxicity Scores at Time of Switch, and at 24 Weeks Post-switch for the Combined Treatment Groups

    A questionnaire was used to solicit for CNS toxicity based on the following 10 events: dizziness; depression/low mood; insomnia/sleeplessness; anxiety/nervousness; confusion; impaired concentration/attention; headache; somnolence/daytime sleepiness; aggressive mood/behavior; and abnormal dreams. Participants were asked to rate the intensity for each of the 10 events as none (Grade 0), mild (Grade 1), moderate (Grade 2), or severe (Grade 3). The CNS toxicity score was calculated by summing across all 10 CNS toxicities and converting the sum to a percentage of the maximum possible sum of intensities (10 x 3 = 30). A higher CNS score indicates worse symptoms. A positive change in CNS score indicates worsening symptoms. A negative change indicates improvement in symptoms. For the ISG time of switch was study Day 1, and week 24 post-switch was week 24. For the DSG time of switch was study week 12, and week 24 post-switch was week 36.

    Measured: Baseline (time of switch) and 24 weeks post-switch

    Measured: 24 weeks post-switch

  9. Change From Time of Switch to Week 24 Post Switch in CD4 T-cell Count for the Combined Treatment Groups

    Blood was collected at time of switch and at 24 weeks post-switch in order to determine the CD4 T-cell count. For the ISG time of switch was study Day 1, and week 24 post-switch was week 24. For the DSG time of switch was study week 12, and week 24 post-switch was week 36.

    Measured: Baseline (time of switch) and 24 weeks post-switch

  10. Number of Participants With One or More Adverse Events (AEs) Through Study Week 12

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol - specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol - specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE.

    Measured: Up to Week 12

  11. Number of Participants With One or More Drug-related AEs Through Study Week 12

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol - specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol - specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE. A drug-related AE was determined by the investigator to be related to the drug.

    Measured: Up to Week 12

  12. Number of Participants With One or More Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Through Study Week 12

    A serious adverse event (SAE) is any AE occurring at any dose or during any use of Sponsor's product that results in any of the following: death; is life threatening; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in or prolongs an existing hospitalization; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is another important medical event; is a cancer; is associated with an overdose.

    Measured: Up to Week 12

  13. Number of Participants With One or More Drug-related SAEs Through Study Week 12

A drug-related SAE was determined by the investigator to be related to the drug.

    Measured: Up to Week 12

  14. Number of Participants Who Discontinued Treatment Due to an AE Through Study Week 12

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol - specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol - specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Doravirine, Tenofovir, Lamivudine - Blinded, Doravirine, Tenofovir, Lamivudine - Open-Label and ATRIPLA^TM in people with HIV-1 and Central Nervous System, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 8 inclusion and 12 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 Feb 2025. 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Aug 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants With at Least One Central Nervous System (CNS) Toxicity of at Least Grade 2 Intensity at Week 12 (time frame: Week 12). 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 NCT02652260, 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 Feb 2025.
