About this study

Evaluation of the impact of initiation of protease inhibitor/ritonavir on PCSK9 levels in HIV-infected antiretroviral-naïve patients from the ANRS C09 COPANA cohort.

Read the detailed description

Background: HIV-infected subjects are at high risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) partly in relation with atherogenic dyslipidemia including increased triglycerides (TG) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C). Mechanisms of HIV-associated dyslipidemia are complex, involving HIV itself and some antiretrovirals (ARV), particularly protease inhibitors (PI/r). Elevated proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9) level is associated with increased LDL-C in the general population. How PCSK9 level is regulated in HIV-infected treated patients has never been investigated.

Objectives: We aimed to identify factors associated with circulating PCSK9 concentration in ART-naïve and treated patients and to evaluate the impact of 1st line ARV therapy (ART) comprising a PI/r, on PCSK9 level in HIV-infected patients.

Methods: Fasting plasma concentrations of PCSK9 were measured using ELISA assay in HIV-infected individuals from the ANRS COPANA cohort, at ART initiation and after one year of PI/r-based therapy without any disruption. Subjects not virologically suppressed at follow-up, or taking any lipid lowering therapies at baseline or during follow-up were excluded. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to determine the association between PCSK9 levels and metabolic parameters at baseline and under PI/r.

What is being measured

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

  1. PCSK9 plasma level change after initiation of ART including protease inhibitor boosted with ritonavir (PI/r)

    Mean percent change in PCSK9 plasma levels after initiation of ART including protease inhibitor boosted with ritonavir (PI/r)r in naïve HIV-infected patients: comparison of values at ART initiation.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. PCSK9 correlation with lipid parameters

    Correlations between PCSK9 levels under PI/r and lipid parameters (LDLc, HDLc, triglycerides) and other parameters (glycemia, HOMA_IR) - from baseline to end.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. PCSK9 correlation with inflammatory makers/adipocytokines

    Comparison of inflammatory makers/adipocytokines (IL6, hsCRP, leptin, adiponectin) and PCSK9 change - from baseline (naive) to after ART initiation.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. PCSK9 comparison between HIV-infected and uninfected patients

    Comparisons of PCSK9 levels between controls (HIV-uninfected from blood donors) and HIV-infected patients - from baseline (naive) and after ART initiation.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Seropositivity and Dyslipidemias, run by Franck Boccara at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 30 Jan 2024. 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 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.

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?

PCSK9 plasma level change after initiation of ART including protease inhibitor boosted with ritonavir (PI/r) (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT03139630, 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 30 Jan 2024.
