Trial summary

Treatment of acute primary HIV infection may improve long-term outcome. However, optimal treatment is still debated.

About this study

Official title: Multicentric Trial Comparing Three Therapeutical Strategies in Patients With Acute Primary HIV Infection.ANRS 112 INTERPRIM

Treatment of acute primary HIV infection may improve long-term outcome. However, optimal treatment is still debated. The ANRS 112-INTERPRIM trial evaluates three different therapeutical strategies, combining permanent or intermittent HAART and a cytokine, interferon alpha, in order to determine which combination allows the best control of HIV viremia after 24 weeks of antiretroviral treatment interruption

Read the detailed description

Treatment of acute primary HIV infection may improve long-term outcome. However, optimal treatment is still debated. The main objective of this multicentric randomized phase II/III study is to compare HIV viremia 92 and 96 weeks after acute primary HIV infection, between patients treated with 3 different strategies. In the first group, patients receive antiretroviral drugs (HAART) continuously up to week 72. In the second group, patients receive HAART continuously up to week 36, then intermittently up to week 72. In the third group, patients receive HAART as in group II, and pegylated interferon alpha is administered for the initial 14 weeks, then for 3 weeks at each of the 3 HAART interruption between week 36 and week 72. All patients are monitored without any HAART up to week 96. Enrolled patients have circulating p24 antigen and/or HIV viremia, an uncompleted HIV western blot, between 18 and 65 years old, and agree to participate to the study. They should have received no antiretroviral drugs, not be pregnant, without neuro-psychological or autoimmune disorders, without chronic hepatitis. Secondary objectives of the study are: the quality of immune restoration, the anti-HIV immune response, safety and adhesion to treatment. A total of 90 patients (30 in each group) have been enrolled.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Antiretroviral combination (drugs) and Pegylated Interferon alpha (drug) in people with HIV Infections and Primary Acute Infection, run by French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis.

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 4 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 29 Aug 2006. 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.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was stopped early. 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?

Plasma HIV RNA at Week 92 and 96 (mean). 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 29 Aug 2006.
