Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a therapy with an all once daily regimen of stavudine extended release (d4T XR), lamivudine (3TC), and efavirenz (EFV) leads to improved outcomes, as measured by viral load, CD4 counts, adherence, safety, and tolerability. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Daily Antiretroviral Therapy (DART-II): An Open-Label, Single-Arm, Prospective, Multicenter Clinical Trial To Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety fo Stavudine Extended Release (d4T XR) in Combination With Lamivudine (3TC) and Efavirenz (EFV) Once Daily in Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) Naive HIV-Infected Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a therapy with an all once daily regimen of stavudine extended release (d4T XR), lamivudine (3TC), and efavirenz (EFV) leads to improved outcomes, as measured by viral load, CD4 counts, adherence, safety, and tolerability.

What is being measured

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

  1. Estimate efficacy of d4T-XR/3TC/EFV given QD determined by

  2. proportion of patients with plasma HIV RNA < 400 copies/mL after 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Evaluate proportion of patients with plasma HIV RNA < 400 copies/mL at Weeks 24, 48, 72, and 96

  2. Evaluate the proportion of patients with plasma HIV RNA < 50 copies/mL at Weeks 24, 48, 72, and 96

  3. Determine viral suppression of plasma HIV RNA change in baseline at week 48

  4. Determine proportion of patients whose HIV viral load doesn't drop to undetectable level within 24 weeks of therapy initiation

  5. Evaluate time to undetectable plasma HIV RNA

  6. Evaluate proportion of patients demonstrating virologic breakthrough

  7. Evaluate proportion of patients demonstrating virologic failure

  8. Evaluate time to virologic breakthrough and virologic failure

  9. Measure magnitude and durability of changes in CD4 cell counts

  10. Evaluate patient adherence with QD regimen using pill counts and AMAF

  11. Determine pattern and emergence of HIV genotype resistance mutations in subjects experiencing virologic failure

  12. Explore QoL changes using MOS-HIV health survey

  13. Evaluate safety and tolerability of QD regimen

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing efavirenz, stavudine extended release, lamivudine in people with HIV Infections and AIDS, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 10 sites in United States.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Estimate efficacy of d4T-XR/3TC/EFV given QD determined by. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00116116, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 26 Apr 2011.
