About this study

Official title: Feasibility and Benefit of a Telerehabilitation Program in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-infected Patients

The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and the effects of a 6-week telerehabilitation on the three domains of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health in HIV-infected patients under highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).

HIV-infected patients were randomized either into an Endurance and Resistance Training Exercise (ERTE) group or a control (CON) group. Telerehabilitation was realized in a public fitness center, with online guidance and weekly telephone advice, 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Feasibility was determined by recruitment rate, retention rate and adverse events. Secondary outcomes were impact on body composition, inflammation and coagulation (C-reactive protein, D-dimer), physical fitness and quality of life (WHOQOL-HIV).

What is being measured

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

  1. Recruitment rate

    Number of eligible participants who enrolled in the program out of the number were recruited

    Measured: At study completion (after 6 weeks)

  2. Retention rate

    Percentage of patients lost to follow-up

    Measured: At study completion (after 6 weeks)

  3. Adverse events

    Percentage of patients who experienced one or more adverse events

    Measured: At study completion (after 6 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Weight

    Weight (kg) is measured by using a bioelectrical impedance analysis

    Measured: Assessments at baseline and at 6 weeks

  2. Lean body mass

    Lean body mass (kg) is measured by using a bioelectrical impedance analysis

    Measured: Assessments at baseline and at 6 weeks

  3. Fat body mass

    Lean body mass (kg) is measured by using a bioelectrical impedance analysis

    Measured: Assessments at baseline and at 6 weeks

  4. C-reactive protein

    C-reactive protein is measured by a blood test

    Measured: Assessments at baseline and at 12 weeks

  5. D-dimer

    D-dimer is measured by a blood test

    Measured: Assessments at baseline and at 12 weeks

  6. CD4+ T cell counts

    CD4+ T cell counts is measured by a blood test

    Measured: Assessments at baseline and at 12 weeks

  7. Viral load

    Viral load is measured by a blood test

    Measured: Assessments at baseline and at 12 weeks

  8. Functional exercise capacity

    Functional exercise capacity is measured by a 6-minute walk test

    Measured: Assessments at baseline and at 6 weeks

  9. Flexibility

    Flexibility is measured by Toe touch test and sit and reach test

    Measured: Assessments at baseline and at 6 weeks

  10. Lower body muscular strength

    Lower body muscular strength is measured by 30-s chair-stand test

    Measured: Assessments at baseline and at 6 weeks

  11. Upper limb strength

    Upper limb strength is measured by hand grip strength tool

    Measured: Assessments at baseline and at 6 weeks

  12. Quality of life

    Quality of life is measured by World Health Organization Quality of Life HIV Instrument

    Measured: Assessments at baseline and at 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Endurance ad Resistance Training Exercise in people with Human Immunodeficiency Virus, run by Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain.

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 4 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 Nov 2017. 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.

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?

Recruitment rate (time frame: At study completion (after 6 weeks)). The study lists 3 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 2017.
