About this study

Lipodystrophie, peripheral neuropathy and mitochondrial toxicity has been associated to stavudine at standard doses The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of reduced doses of stavudine (30 mg b.i.d.) in HIV patients with controlled viral load and body weight > 60 kg, receiving an antiretroviral therapy containing stavudine 40 mg b.i.d.

Read the detailed description

Stavudine is a nucleoside inhibitor larged used in HIV treatments and has been associated to mithocondrial toxicity. As it is still largely used in developping countries,the evaluation of reducing dose is of importance.

A single-arm open pilot 48 weeks study to evaluate the capacity of a switch from d4T 40 mg to 30 mg bid in patients with body weight > 60kg to maintain full viral load suppression. Clinical and biological evaluations were carried out at baseline, W24 and W48. Primary end-point is viral load suppression (<400 coies/ml) at W24.

Secondary end-points are : Evolution of CD4 count at W24 and W48, neurological examination at Baseline, W24 and W48, metabolic parameters and stavudine PK at W24.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing stavudine in people with HIV, run by Groupe Hospitalier Pitie-Salpetriere at 1 site 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

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?

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 viral load < 400 copies/ml at week S24. 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 25 Oct 2005.
