About this study

Official title: Determinants of Skin, Muscle and Bone Aging in HIV-1 Infected Patients

this study consists of the study of markers of skin, muscular, neurocognitive and bone aging in HIV infected adults and to compare the frequency of these signs to the general population of same gender and age.

Read the detailed description

Nowadays, the elevated frequency of cancers as well as cardiovascular, neurocognitive and bone diseases seems to denote a process of accelerated aging in the treated HIV-infected population of western countries, who are 40 to 50 years old in median. Markers of age-related alterations should be compared to the distribution among the general population whenever possible, to disentangle the effect of HIV and "normal" ageing or ageing due to other conditions. Common mechanisms should be better understood, more specifically those related to the impact of tobacco, antiretroviral treatments, and nutritional components. For markers of skin, muscle, neurocognitive function and bone ageing, the distribution of the general population is available and, in addition, alteration of these markers might have common mechanisms, such as insufficiency in 25 hydroxy vitamin D or nutritional parameters. Therefore, a joint study of these three organs seems particularly relevant.

This aim is to study markers of skin, muscular, neurocognitive and bone aging in HIV infected adults and to compare the frequency of these signs to the general population of same gender and age.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DXA (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometric) measurementProcedure or surgery

    DXA, evaluation of muscular function and muscle strength; neurocognitive tests; non invasive analysis of mechanical skin properties; food frequency questionnaire; laboratory assessment (25 hydroxy vitamin D, calcium/phosphate metabolism, bone remodelling markers, T cell activation).

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients with an alteration in bone, muscle, neurocognitive or skin parameters

    presence of osteoporosis or osteopenia on DXA (T-score < -2.5 and <-1, respectively), locomotor test results > 2 standard deviations of the mean of the general population, presence of premature hair whitening in patients aged < 40 years (defined by>50% of gray hair before the age of 40)

    Measured: At the earliest at the inclusion visit and within a 9-month window after inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing DXA (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometric) measurement in people with HIV-1-infection and Marker; Structural, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux.

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 5 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 24 Jun 2026. 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 stopped early (reason given: target number of patient not reached). 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?

Proportion of patients with an alteration in bone, muscle, neurocognitive or skin parameters (time frame: At the earliest at the inclusion visit and within a 9-month window after inclusion). 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 24 Jun 2026.
