Human Immunodeficiency Virus InfectionsPhase 3NCT00262522
Study of Lopinavir/Ritonavir Tablets Versus Soft Gel Capsules and Once Daily Versus Twice Daily Administration, When Coadministered With Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors in Antiretroviral Naive Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infected Subjects
A Phase 3 study testing lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) (tablet or capsule) with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in people with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infections, run by Abbott at 129 sites in 19 countries.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and tolerability of the to-be-marketed lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) tablet formulation with the marketed soft gel capsule (SGC) formulation and to compare the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of once daily (QD) and twice daily (BID) dosing of the LPV/r… Read more about this study

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) (tablet or capsule) with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in people with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infections, run by Abbott at 129 sites in 19 countries.
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 7 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 6 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 129 sites in United States, Spain, Canada, France, Germany and 14 more countries. 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 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Aug 2009). 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?
Percentage of Subjects With Adverse Events of Diarrhea During the First 8 Weeks (time frame: Week 8). 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?
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 6 Feb 2012.
