About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Neurological and Psychiatric Adverse Events of Dolutegravir and Bictegravir in Real Life (NEPALE)

The neurological and psychiatric adverse effects of antiretroviral drugs is a concern for clinicians and people living with HIV. In addition, clinical trials conducted prior to market authorization often have stric inclusion and exclusion criteria in terms of age, co-morbidity or co-medication, and the patients included in the studies are not always representative of the population for whom the drugs will be prescribed in real life. We propose a prospective cohort study to assess the occurrence of neurological and psychiatric adverse events in HIV+ patients starting an association with dolutegravir or bictegravir.

Patients will be included on the day dolutegravir or bictegravir is prescribed. Neurological and psychiatric disorders will be assessed using self-administered questionnaires, at inclusion, one month, three months and six months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV+ Patients, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild.

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 5 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2020. 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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

The presence of at least one of the following neurological or psychiatric disorders (time frame: 6 months). 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 27 Feb 2020.
