About this study

MATCH is an observation study of HIV-infected adults on effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) and demographically matched uninfected adults to evaluate muscle and aging.

Read the detailed description

MATCH is a non-randomized observational longitudinal study. We will recruit HIV infected adults (50 to 65 years old) and demographically matched uninfected control subjects to be followed for 4 years over the course of a 5 year study. The targeted age range of 50-65 is chosen to evaluate aging HIV infected individuals at risk for early frailty in the United States. All subjects will undergo blood draws and physical function assessment, and a subset will undergo a CT scan of muscle and will have a muscle biopsy taken.

A substudy will be performed on a subgroup of HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected men from the main cohort to measure daily physical activity by using an activity tracker.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT03011957
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1HIV positive viral load < 200 copies/ml 50-65 years old CD4 > 350 cells/ml Male or Female
Group 2HIV negative 50-65 years old CD4 > 350 cells/ml Male or Female

What is being measured

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

  1. Inflammation at baseline and 3 years

    Inflammation at baseline and yearly for 3 years will be assessed by measuring circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines (e.g., CRP, IL6) and soluble monocyte/macrophage biomarkers (e.g., sCD14, sC163). These multiple measurements will be aggregated to arrive at one composite inflammatory score. Outcome will be assessed in association with HIV status and physical function.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV, run by Brigham and Women's Hospital 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 15 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2018. 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?

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?

Inflammation at baseline and 3 years (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT03011957, 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 18 Jan 2018.
