  • Ability and willingness to provide adequate information for locator purposes.
  • Participants who are currently on ART or who previously received antiretrovirals as part of post-exposure prophylaxis, pre-exposure prophylaxis, or previous treatment regimen will be eligible for inclusion in this protocol. Their previous treatment history will be collected. If a participant has been on ART for more than 2 years, please consult with the protocol team leadership prior to enrollment.
  • For participants initiating ART, agreement of participant and PHCP to initiate potent and durable ART regimens in accordance with local and international guidelines. Examples of potent and durable regimens are provided in Appendix H. Participants who initiate ART not consistent with regimens outlined in Appendix H may enroll with permission of the protocol chair or designee(s).

Who cannot join

  • Persons who meet the following criteria will be excluded from the study:
  • Any medical, psychiatric, alcohol/drug dependency or other condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, would interfere with, or serve as a contraindication to, protocol adherence or a participant's ability to give informed consent.
  • Participants who meet these additional criteria will be excluded from the study:
  • Participants undergoing acute therapy for serious medical illnesses (in the opinion of the site investigator) within 14 days prior to initiation of ART.
  • Participants with chronic, acute, or recurrent infections that are serious (in the opinion of the site investigator).
  • Participants who must continue with chronic (maintenance) therapy (e.g., tuberculosis [TB], pneumocystis pneumonia [PCP]), must have completed at least 14 days of therapy and be clinically stable prior to initiation of ART.
  • Oral and vaginal candidiasis, mucocutaneous herpes simplex, and other minor illnesses, as defined by the site investigator, present no restriction to eligibility.
  • Participants undergoing radiation therapy, systemic chemotherapy, or receiving an immunomodulator within 45 days prior to initiation of ART. (A tapering course of corticosteroids as acute therapy for PCP or other conditions is an exception.)

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4+ T cell counts longitudinally

    Blood samples will be processed for PBMCs and then cryopreserved. These specimens will be stimulated with synthetic HIV-1 peptide pools. This process will allow ex vivo HIV-specific T-cell responses to be assessed by IFN-γ ELISpot and/or flow cytometry.

    Measured: 8 years

  2. Measure time to initiation of ART

    Blood samples will be processed for PBMCs and then cryopreserved. These specimens will be stimulated with synthetic HIV-1 peptide pools. This process will allow ex vivo HIV-specific T-cell responses to be assessed by IFN-γ ELISpot and/or flow cytometry.

    Measured: 8 years

  3. Measure time to HIV-1 related clinical events

    Blood samples will be processed for PBMCs and then cryopreserved. These specimens will be stimulated with synthetic HIV-1 peptide pools. This process will allow ex vivo HIV-specific T-cell responses to be assessed by IFN-γ ELISpot and/or flow cytometry.

    Responses from ELISpot assays will be reported as the number of spot-forming cells Blood samples will be processed for PBMCs and then cryopreserved. These specimens will be stimulated with synthetic HIV-1 peptide pools. This process will allow ex vivo HIV-specific T-cell responses to be assessed by IFN-γ ELISpot and/or flow cytometry.

    Measured: 8 years

  4. Proportion of individuals with plasma HIV-1 RNA level <50 copies/mL at 24 weeks after initiation of ART

    Blood samples will be processed for PBMCs and then cryopreserved. These specimens will be stimulated with synthetic HIV-1 peptide pools. This process will allow ex vivo HIV-specific T-cell responses to be assessed by IFN-γ ELISpot and/or flow cytometry.

    Responses from ELISpot assays will be reported as the number of spot-forming cells Blood samples will be processed for PBMCs and then cryopreserved. These specimens will be stimulated with synthetic HIV-1 peptide pools. This process will allow ex vivo HIV-specific T-cell responses to be assessed by IFN-γ ELISpot and/or flow cytometry.

    Measured: 8 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time from initiation of ART to treatment failure due to virologic, immunologic, and clinical reasons

    Blood samples will be processed for PBMCs and then cryopreserved. These specimens will be stimulated with synthetic HIV-1 peptide pools. This process will allow ex vivo HIV-specific T-cell responses to be assessed by IFN-γ ELISpot and/or flow cytometry.

    Measured: 8 years

  2. Occurrence of HIV/AIDS associated events, including death

    Blood samples will be processed for PBMCs and then cryopreserved. These specimens will be stimulated with synthetic HIV-1 peptide pools. This process will allow ex vivo HIV-specific T-cell responses to be assessed by IFN-γ ELISpot and/or flow cytometry.

    Measured: 8 years

  3. Proportion of subjects with HIV-1 RNA level <50 copies/mL post-initiation of ART; log change in plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and change in CD4+ T cell levels between baseline (at initiation of ART) and post-initiation of ART

    Blood samples will be processed for PBMCs and then cryopreserved. These specimens will be stimulated with synthetic HIV-1 peptide pools. This process will allow ex vivo HIV-specific T-cell responses to be assessed by IFN-γ ELISpot and/or flow cytometry.

    Measured: 24, 48, 96, and 144 weeks

  4. Adherence information collected at 24, 48, 96, and 144 weeks following initiation of ART

    Blood samples will be processed for PBMCs and then cryopreserved. These specimens will be stimulated with synthetic HIV-1 peptide pools. This process will allow ex vivo HIV-specific T-cell responses to be assessed by IFN-γ ELISpot and/or flow cytometry.

    Measured: 24, 48, 96, and 144 weeks

  5. Side effects collected at 24, 48, 96, and 144 weeks following initiation of ART

    Blood samples will be processed for PBMCs and then cryopreserved. These specimens will be stimulated with synthetic HIV-1 peptide pools. This process will allow ex vivo HIV-specific T-cell responses to be assessed by IFN-γ ELISpot and/or flow cytometry.

    Measured: 24, 48, 96, and 144 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Infections, run by HIV Vaccine Trials Network at 21 sites in 6 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 8 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 18 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in United States, South Africa, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Peru and 1 more country. 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?

Measure plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4+ T cell counts longitudinally (time frame: 8 years). The study lists 4 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 18 Apr 2022.
