About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between anti-retroviral therapy (ART) adherence with levels of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reservoir and residual viremia in suppressed, HIV-infected individuals on chronic ART.

Read the detailed description

Understanding whether the size and dynamics of the HIV reservoir are associated with adherence, measured by an objective biomarker, could have significant clinical and therapeutic implications for ART and HIV cure.

  1. First, this aim will quantify levels of CA-RNA, CA-DNA, and plasma residual viremia in suppressed, HIV infected individuals and correlate them with levels of TFV-DP in DBS as a measure of cumulate drug exposure (adherence).
  2. Second, this study will evaluate the changes in the HIV reservoir in relation to changes in ART adherence over time.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02797093
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HIV suppressed individualsHIV suppressed individuals on chronic ART, suboptimal adherence and exposure, measured through TFV-DP in DBS.

What is being measured

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

  1. Level of tenofovir diphosphate in dried blood spots associated with the size of the HIV reservoir measured by the amount of CA-RNA and CA-DNA in PBMCs.

    Evaluation of variations in ART cumulative adherence are associated with the size of the HIV reservoir and with the degree of chronic inflammation and immune activation in HIV-infected, virologically suppressed individuals.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Level of self-reported adherence (4-day, 30-day and 3-months using a visual analog scale) associated with the size of the HIV reservoir measured by CA-RNA and CA-DNA in PBMCs.

    Evaluation of variations in ART self-reported adherence are associated with the size of the HIV reservoir and with the degree of chronic inflammation and immune activation in HIV-infected, virologically suppressed individuals.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Human Immunodeficiency Virus, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 2 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 8 Mar 2022. 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 United States. 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?

Level of tenofovir diphosphate in dried blood spots associated with the size of the HIV reservoir measured by the amount of CA-RNA and CA-DNA in PBMCs. (time frame: 6 months). 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 8 Mar 2022.
