About this study

Official title: An Open Label Long Term Safety Extension Study of Apricitabine in Treatment-experienced HIV-1 Infected Subjects

The study will examine how safe and effective apricitabine is when given long term (as ongoing treatment) to HIV patients who have already completed the AVX-201 trial

Read the detailed description

An ongoing study (AVX-201) is examining the safety and efficacy of apricitabine compared to 3TC in HIV patients who are failing therapy containing 3TC and have the presence of the M184V mutation in reverse transcriptase. This extension study (AVX-201E) is available to patients who complete the AVX-201 protocol.

Patients will continue to receive apricitabine open label for a further 96 weeks (making a total of 144 weeks from starting AVX-201) in addition to an optimised background. Safety markers and efficacy markers will be followed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to virological failure (DHSS definition)

    Measured: week 144

  2. incidence of AEs and laboratory abnormalities

    Measured: Week 144

  3. time to withdrawal due to AEs

    Measured: Week 144

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change from baseline HIV RNA

    Measured: weeks 72, 96, 120, and 144

  2. Proportion of subjects with plasma HIV RNA <400 and <50 copies/ml

    Measured: at weeks 72, 96, 120, and 144

  3. Change from baseline and change in ratio of CD4+ and CD8+ counts

    Measured: at weeks 72, 96, 120, and 144

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing apricitabine in people with HIV Infection, run by Avexa at 1 site in Australia.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 23 Jun 2011. 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 Australia. 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 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Time to virological failure (DHSS definition) (time frame: week 144). The study lists 3 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 23 Jun 2011.
