Trial summary

Interleukin33 organize local immune reactions, especially at epithelial barriers. ST2 is the IL33 receptor. The sST2 rate is higher for patient living with HIV and is an independent predictable factor of mortality. Interleukin33 induce tissue Treg ST2+ lymphocytes proliferation and amphireguline production. Read more about this study

Show all 18Show fewer
  • NB : an additional inclusion criteria for the Group 1 will be defined after the "phase 0" which will define two levels of fibrosis (low / high)

Who cannot join

  • - HIV-2 infection or HIV-1 \& HIV-2 co-infection
  • Active infection or cancer
  • Contraindication to rectal biopsies (coagulation disorders, anticoagulation therapy, anorectal surgery, inflammatory bowel disease, post-radial rectitis)

About this study

Official title: Role of the IL33/Amphiregulin Pathway as a Potential Therapeutic Target in HIV Infection : a Prospective Cross-sectional Observational Study

Interleukin33 organize local immune reactions, especially at epithelial barriers.

ST2 is the IL33 receptor. The sST2 rate is higher for patient living with HIV and is an independent predictable factor of mortality. Interleukin33 induce tissue Treg ST2+ lymphocytes proliferation and amphireguline production. Amphireguline is member of epithelial growth factors family, which contributes to tissue repair, and fibrose. Amphireguline also helps immunosuppressives functions. Targetting amphiregulin for people living with HIV who has poor restauration of LTCD4+ could be a future therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quantification of amphiregulin plasma levels

    Quantification of amphiregulin plasma levels in HIV-infected subjects and correlation these levels with blood TCD4 cell count and clinical parameters (cardiac diastolic dysfunction, organ dysfunctions likely to be secondary to fibrosis phenomena) recorded in the CARDAMONE cohort.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Phenotypic characterization of gut Treg cells and CD8+ T lymphocytes (CTL) isolated from the intestinal mucosa

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Study of fibrosis markers in the intestinal mucosa

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  4. In vitro functional analysis of amphiregulin from isolated CTL of the lamina propria

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Characterization of HIV reservoir of the digestive mucosa

    (i) Analysis at the blood and digestive compartment (rectum) for different CD4 CD32a T lymphocyte populations, marker of the viral reservoir; (ii) Quantification HIV DNA and the HIV reservoir competent for replication from blood and gut

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Determination of antiretroviral drugs levels in digestive tissue and in plasma and correlation between antiretroviral drugs levels and viral reservoir and lymphocyte phenotype

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV I Infection, run by ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases.

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 18 inclusion and 7 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 9 Aug 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.

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?

Quantification of amphiregulin plasma levels (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 9 Aug 2018.
