About this study

Official title: Effect of CCR5 Inhibition by Maraviroc on HIV-1 Infected Subjects Who Require Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant for Any Indication and Its Observed Effect on Graft Versus Host Disease and HIV-1 Persistence

The goal of this proposal is to determine the effect of maraviroc when it has been a part of the antiretroviral (ART) regimen given immediately after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) for HIV-1 infected participants who have a hematopoietic malignancy or other underlying disorder requiring an allogeneic transplant. Maraviroc has been given in practice to alleviate symptoms of graft vs. host disease (GvHD). Given its mechanism of action, it may also have an effect on the reservoir size of HIV-1 in infected patients. This study will inform potential future studies, evaluating the effect of this approach on the incidence and severity of GvHD, and determining its effect on HIV-1 reservoir.

Study groups in NCT03118661
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Maraviroc after allo-HCTExperimental* Step 1: participants who have received at least 30 days of maraviroc immediately post allo-HCT can be enrolled. Blood will be drawn at 2 time points at least 2 weeks apart, but within 4 weeks, and assessed for HIV-1 reservoir using both DNA assays and cell-associated reactivation by infectivity after stimulation. If any biopsies post allo-HCT are performed as part of standard of care and available, these will also be assessed for HIV-1 * Step 2: If HIV-1 reservoir is undetecable, antiretrovirals (ART) will be stopped in a structured treatment interruption (STI). HIV-1 VLs and CD4+ T-cells check weekly. Week 16, participants will have a large volume blood draw if remain suppressed. If confirmed return of viremia, ART will be reinitiated and he/she will be followed until HIV VL is <50 copies/ml. If he/she remains suppressed at Week 16 and repeat assays confirm no detectable HIV-1, HIV-1 VLs and CD4+ T-cell counts will be checked monthly until Week 52, and then quarterly until Year 5

What is being measured

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

  1. HIV-1 proviral DNA levels in peripheral blood

    • Obtained from peripheral blood
    • Used to determine if participant can proceed to Step 2

    Measured: Up to week 16 after transplant

  2. HIV-1 reactivation in stimulated assay

    • Obtained from peripheral blood
    • Used to determine if participant can proceed to Step 2

    Measured: Up to week 16 after transplant

  3. Presence and severity of GvHD

    -GvHD will be measured using the NIH Consensus Development Project on Criteria for Clinical Trials in Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease: IV. Response Criteria Working Group Report

    Measured: Through 5 years after transplant

  4. Time to hematopoietic cell and immune recovery

    -In general, the mean time of engraftment of the donor cells is approximately 90 to 100 days post-transplant and this can be monitored by measuring the percent chimerism of donor cells.

    Measured: Up to 100 days after transplant

  5. Number of participants who experience chimerism

    -Chimerism is measured by ≥ 98% of blood cells donor derived

    Measured: At the time of screening

  6. Survival of participants

    -Number of participants who are alive 100 days after transplant

    Measured: 100 days after transplant

  7. Survival of participants

    -Number of participants who are alive 26 weeks after transplant

    Measured: Week 26 after transplant

  8. Survival of participants

    -Number of participants who are alive 52 weeks after transplant

    Measured: Week 52 after transplant

  9. Survival of participants

    -Number of participants who are alive 5 years after transplant

    Measured: 5 years after transplant

  10. Event free survival

    -Defined as survival where the cancer does not recur, the graft takes, and there are no life-threatening events

    Measured: 100 days after transplant

  11. Event free survival

    -Defined as survival where the cancer does not recur, the graft takes, and there are no life-threatening events

    Measured: Week 26 after transplant

  12. Event free survival

    -Defined as survival where the cancer does not recur, the graft takes, and there are no life-threatening events

    Measured: Week 52 after transplant

  13. Event free survival

    -Defined as survival where the cancer does not recur, the graft takes, and there are no life-threatening events

    Measured: 5 years after transplant

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of participants who achieve a state of functional cure

    -Functional Cure: Following the discontinuation of all HIV-1 related treatment interventions, including HAART, a participant will be considered to have achieved an HIV-1 functional cure if for at least 5 years they: maintain an undetectable plasma viral load, using standard clinical assays, have achieved full CD4+ lymphocyte recovery with normal levels of T cell activation and proliferation, and normal levels of immunoglobulins with no disease progression. It is anticipated that participants who have achieved a functional cure will continue to have detectable HIV-1 DNA in peripheral blood cells and/or tissues.

    Measured: Through 5 years after transplant

  2. Number of participants who achieve a state of sterilizing cure

    -Sterilizing cure: same definition of functional cure but no detectable replication-competent virus in peripheral blood and minimal (near limits of detection) HIV-1 DNA in peripheral blood and or tissue

    Measured: Through 5 years after transplant

  3. Number of participants who have plasma viral load <50 copies/ml

    -Obtained from peripheral blood

    Measured: Through 5 years after transplant

  4. Number of participants who have existence of replication competent HIV-1 reservoirs in peripheral blood, gut and other tissue compartments

    -Obtained from peripheral blood

    Measured: Through 5 years after transplant

  5. Number of participants who have gut immune reconstitution

    -Will consist of tissue immunohistochemistry to analyze CD4 T cells when feasible, and for plasma markers of gut microbial translocation namely lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and soluble CD14 (sCD14) a marker of monocyte activation attributed to LPS effects

    Measured: Through 5 years after transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing For Step 2: Structured treatment interruption and Peripheral blood draw in people with HIV-1-infection, run by Washington University School of Medicine.

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 21 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Nov 2018. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

HIV-1 proviral DNA levels in peripheral blood (time frame: Up to week 16 after transplant). The study lists 13 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Nov 2018.
