About this study

The ANRS ( Agence Nationale de Recherches sur le Sida et les Hépatites virales) 0093s Aging HAND study is to assess whether PLHIV (People Living with HIV) initially between 55-70 years of age at baseline analysis under antiretroviral therapy have accelerated decline of neurocognitive function after 6 years of follow-up.

Aging HAND is a French, multicentric, longitudinal, transversal, prospective study with inclusion of 290 PLHIV.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to analyze whether PLHIV initially aged between 55-70 years of age at baseline under antiretroviral therapy have accelerated decline of neurocognitive function after 6 years of follow-up in comparison with an age, gender and educational level matched HIV non-exposed control group from the CONSTANCES cohort.

The secondary objectives of this study are :

  • To determine the prevalence of neurocognitive impairment (NCI) according to the Frascati criteria, clinical consensus and alternative classifications, after additional accrual of individuals aged 55 to 76 years for a more precise and extensive age range analysis of NCI
  • To describe the incidence and prevalence of the frailty syndromes, and their relation with co-morbidities and NCI, using the Fried score as a measure of frailty
  • To constitute a plasma and serum biobank for biomarkers study related to the aging of PLHIV

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients with cognitive decline

    The global cognitive decline of patients, expressed through the mean Z-score (with higher scores indicating better cognition) using the mean of z scores of the 5 following cognitive tests (NPZ 5 score): Trail Making Test A-B (TMT A-B), Digit Symbol Substitution Task (DSST) of the WAIS-IV (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale), digital finger tapping test, word fluency and formal lexical and semantic evocation for language, Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Proportion of patients with NCI

    Presence of neurocognitive impairment (NCI) according to the Frascati criteria and alternative classifications used to define HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder (HAND) in PLHIV

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Description of the causes of NCI confirmed

    Description of the causes of NCI confirmed after a consensus reached by an expert panel group

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Incidence and prevalence of frailty

    The Fried frailty score for the ancillary study on incidence and prevalence of frailty

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cognitive functional assessment in people with HIV Infections, run by ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases at 11 sites in France.

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 10 inclusion and 9 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 30 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in France. 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?

Proportion of patients with cognitive decline (time frame: 12 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 30 Jan 2025.
