What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical Safety--Creatinine Elevations

    Grade 3 or 4 Creatinine elevations (per National Institutes of Health Division of AIDS toxicity scale)

    Measured: 24 months (immediate arm) and 15 months (delayed arm)

  2. Clinical Safety--Hypophosphatemia

    Grade 3 or 4 hypophosphatemia (per National Institutes of Health Division of AIDS toxicity scale)

    Measured: 24 months (immediate arm), 15 months (delayed arm)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Breakthrough HIV Infections

    Number of participants with HIV seroconversions occuring while on study drug

    Measured: 24 months (immediate arm) and 15 months (delayed arm)

  2. Adherence to Study Drug

    Estimated exposure to study drug (active and placebo) as assessed by Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) caps.

    Measured: 24 months (immediate arm) and 15 months (delayed arm)

  3. Behavioral Safety--Unprotected Anal Sex (UAS)

    Change in percent of participants reporting unprotected anal intercourse--baseline vs. months 3 through 9 on study.

    Measured: Nine months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in people with HIV Infection, run by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at 3 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 17 inclusion and 13 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 10 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Mar 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Clinical Safety--Creatinine Elevations (time frame: 24 months (immediate arm) and 15 months (delayed arm)). 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 NCT00131677, 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 10 Mar 2014.
