Trial summary

Improved survival of people living with HIV has resulted in an increased occurrence of other comorbidities, such as cardiovascular, renal, bone and endocrine pathologies. The data that is currently available on cART-associated changes in bone mineral density, body composition and hormonal values is short-term and… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of Body Composition, Bone Health and Hormonal Status After Initiation of an Integrase-inhibitor-based Anti-retroviral Therapy in Treatment-naïve HIV-1-infected Individuals

Improved survival of people living with HIV has resulted in an increased occurrence of other comorbidities, such as cardiovascular, renal, bone and endocrine pathologies.

The data that is currently available on cART-associated changes in bone mineral density, body composition and hormonal values is short-term and mainly derived from patients initiating cART in accordance with previous treatment guidelines. As current guidelines recommend earlier cART initiation and as PI-based regimens are becoming less frequently used, a favorable outcome on bone health, body composition measures and endocrine status might be expected.

This study will therefore prospectively document alterations in bone mineral density, body composition and endocrine status in HIV-infected patients in whom, in the current treatment era, an INSTI-based cART regimen is initiated as a first line regimen.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be included at the initiation of cART. The follow up for this study is planned to fit within the routine follow up consultations and includes some extra experimental investigations, such as the medical body composition measurements, resting energy expenditure measurement, Achilles bone ultrasonometer and DXA scans. Standard blood and urine samples will be taken, including standard analyses and some extra analyses for the study.

Physical activity will be monitored for 5 consecutive days using a bracelet device while patients will be asked to record their food intake using a standardized diet agenda.

Total follow up time will be 144 weeks and includes 12 visits in total.

Being tested
DXA scan, Achilles bone US, Medical body composition measurements, Resting energy expenditure measurement

  • Resting energy expenditure measurementOther

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of changes in BMD from baseline

    Measured: 144 weeks of follow-up

  2. Assessment of changes in trunk fat from baseline

    Measured: 144 weeks of follow-up

  3. Determination of the incidence of subclinical and clinical hypothyroidism

    Measured: Within 144 weeks of follow-up

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Correlation between T-scores obtained by Achilles bone ultrasonometer (screening tool) and hip and spine DXA scan (gold standard)

    Measured: 144 weeks of follow-up

  2. Correlations between changes in body composition and endocrine values

    Measured: 144 weeks of follow-up

  3. Correlation between changes in VAT and trunk fat and changes in waist circumference

    Measured: 144 weeks of follow-up

  4. Description of changes in body composition in relation to the resting energy expenditure

    Measured: 144 weeks of follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV-1 and Treatment-naïve, run by Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel at 1 site in Belgium.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Oct 2018. 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 Belgium. 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 was stopped early (reason given: recruitment slower than expected). 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?

Assessment of changes in BMD from baseline (time frame: 144 weeks of follow-up). 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 17 Oct 2018.
