Measured: Baseline, Day of Delivery ± 2 Days
Mean HIV RNA Level at Baseline

Hyperbilirubinemia (Grade 1=1.1 to 1.5 upper limit of normal [ULN] [mild], Grade 2=1.6 to 2.5 ULN [moderate], Grade 3=2.6 to 5.0 ULN [severe], Grade 4= > 5.0 ULN [potentially life threatening]).
Measured: During Study Period and 30 Days Post-Study.
SAEs in Enrolled Mothers
SAEs were evaluated for all treated and untreated participants. An SAE was defined as an untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event); might have caused death if it were more severe, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, an important medical event that required intervention to prevent serious outcomes.
Measured: During Study Period and 30 Days Post-Study.
SAEs in Enrolled Infants
SAEs were evaluated for all treated and untreated participants. An SAE was defined as an untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event); might have caused death if it were more severe, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, an important medical event that required intervention to prevent serious outcomes.
Measured: Birth Through Week 16 of Life
Mean Atazanavir Maternal Plasma Concentration and Neonatal Cord Blood Concentration
Mean atazanavir maternal plasma concentration and neonatal cord blood concentration as measured at the time of delivery.
Measured: At Time of Delivery
Median Infant Total Bilirubin Level

Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) Participant Adherence to Regimen and Drug Components for ATV 300 mg / RTV 100 mg Test Dose
The MACS was administered to evaluate participant adherence to each drug and the adherence to the regimen. The MACS adherence questionnaire asks patients how many medication doses they missed during the previous day, 2 days, 3 days and 4 days. Drug-specific questions included adherence with dose and frequency. Adherence was defined as taking all doses and numbers of pills as prescribed for each medication. This strict adherence cut-off was based on the guidelines stating that anything less than excellent adherence may result in a virus breakthrough and development of resistance.
Measured: Study Week 2, Pregnancy Weeks 20 to Weeks 28, Pregnancy Weeks 28 to Delivery, Week 2 Postpartum, Week 4 Postpartum

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Atazanavir + Ritonavir + Combivir in people with HIV Infection, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 6 sites in 3 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 5 inclusion and 0 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 16 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 6 sites in South Africa, United States, Puerto Rico. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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 7 Apr 2011). 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?
Infant Gestational Age at Delivery (time frame: At the time of delivery). The study lists 13 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 NCT00326716, which also lists 3 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 16 Nov 2011.
