What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment Response at Week 48

    Treatment response is a confirmed virologic response, defined as a viral load less than 50 copies/mL at two consecutive measurements at least 5 days apart, without death, permanent discontinuation, or introduction of a new antiretroviral

    Measured: 48 weeks

  2. The Primary Safety Endpoint Was the Occurrence of Dose-limiting Hepatotoxicity During the Study.

    Dose-limiting hepatotoxicity was defined as Grade 4 ALT or AST elevation confirmed in 48h or any evocative symptoms or signs of hepatitis, if it not clearly attributable to another cause. Patients who experienced dose-limiting hepatotoxicity stopped TPV/r and were considered treatment failures for the analysis.

    Measured: From the start of the study through 48 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Virologic Response Defined as Viral Load <50 Copies/mL at Each Visit

    Virologic response defined as viral load less than 50 copies/mL

    Measured: After 4 weeks of treatment until the end of the trial

  2. Occurrence of Viral Load Less Than 400 Copies/mL at Weeks 24 and 48

    Patients with a viral load of less than 400 copies/mL at Weeks 24 and 48 as measured from a plasma sample.

    Measured: 24 and 48 weeks

  3. Occurrence of Viral Load Less Than 400 Copies/mL at Each Visit

    Patients with a viral load of less than 400 copies/mL at each visit as measured from a plasma sample.

    Measured: After 4 weeks of treatment until the end of the trial

  4. Occurrence of ≥1 log10 Drop in Viral Load From Baseline at All Visits, Including Visits at Weeks 24 and 48

    Occurrence of greater than or equal to 1 log10 drop in viral load from baseline at all visits, including visits at Weeks 24 and 48

    Measured: Baseline, 24 and 48 weeks

  5. Change in Viral Load From Baseline at Each Visit

    Change in viral load (measured from a plasma sample) from baseline at each visitPatients with a viral load of less than 400 copies/mL at each visit as .

    Measured: After 4 weeks of treatment until the end of the trial

  6. Time to Treatment Failure

    For patients who never achieve a confirmed virologic response, time to treatment failure is defined as 0. For patients who achieve a confirmed virologic response, time to treatment failure is the earliest time of either: death, permanent discontinuation of the study drug or loss to follow-up, introduction of a new anti-retroviral drug to the regimen if it is not solely related to either toxicity or intolerance clearly attributable to a background drug, but not the study drug, or first occurrence of a VL >50 copies/mL at two consecutive measurements after having achieved a VL <50 copies/mL.

    Measured: After Day 1 of treatment until the end of the trial

  7. Time to New AIDS or AIDS Related Progression Event or Death

    Time to new AIDS or AIDS related progression event or death as defined by AIDS defining and/or AIDS-related illnesses.

    Measured: After Day 1 of treatment until the end of the trial

  8. Change in CD4+ and CD8+ Cell Counts From Baseline to Week 48

    Change from baseline to Week 48 for CD4+ and CD8+ cell counts. Samples were obtained for CD4+ and CD8+ as measurements of viral suppression during antiretroviral therapy.

    Measured: after 2 weeks of treatment till Week 48

  9. Change in Ratio of CD38+/CD8+ From Baseline to Week 48

    Change from baseline to Week 48 for the ratio of CD38+ to CD8+ cell counts. Samples were obtained for CD38+ and CD8+ as measurements of viral suppression during antiretroviral therapy.

    Measured: after 2 weeks of treatment till Week 48

  10. Change in Ratio of CD3+ CD8+ CD38+ HLA DR From Baseline to Week 48.

    Change from baseline to Week 48 for the ratio of CD3+ CD8+ CD38+ HLA DR . Samples were obtained for CD3+ CD8+ CD38+ HLA DR as measurements of viral suppression during antiretroviral therapy.

    Measured: after 2 weeks of treatment till Week 48

  11. Tipranavir (TPV) and Ritonavir (RTV) Trough Concentrations at Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 24, Week 36 and Week 48

    Tipranavir (TPV) and Ritonavir (RTV) trough concentrations from plasma samples at Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 24, Week 36 and Week 48

    Measured: after 2 weeks of treatment till Week 48

  12. Patients Adherence With Study Medication Based on Pill Count

    number of pills actually taken divided by the planned number of pills the patient should take

    Measured: After 4 weeks of treatment until the end of the trial

  13. Occurrence of Tipranavir (TPV) Inhibitory Quotient (IQ) >60 at Each Visit Where TPV Concentration is Measured

    A high inhibitory quotient (IQ), the ratio of trough plasma drug concentration to the protein-adjusted viral IC50, is a useful indicator of the potential efficacy margin of antiretroviral drugs. The IQ for TPV is calculated by the formula IQ = TPV Ctrough / (3.75 x Z x fold change of the patients virus), where Z = wild type control IC50 IIIB.

    Measured: After 2 weeks of treatment until the end of trial

  14. Occurrence of Tipranavir (TPV) Trough Concentration >120 μM

    Patients with TPV trough above 120 μM are at high risk of developing a Grade 3 or 4 ALT or AST elevations. The risk of Grade 3 or greater transaminase elevations appeared to be uniform at TPV trough concentration below 120 μM. Hence, for this study the TPV trough should be maintained below 120 μM.

    Measured: After 2 weeks of treatment until the end of trial

  15. Post-dose Tipranavir (TPV) and Ritonavir (RTV) Concentrations at Week 4

    Post-dose Tipranavir (TPV) and Ritonavir (RTV) plasma concentrations at Week 4

    Measured: Week 4

  16. Frequency of Patients (%) With Possible Clinically Significant Abnormalities of Laboratory Measurements

    Frequency of patients (%) with possible clinically significant abnormalities of laboratory measurements (haematology, differentials (automatic and absolute), coagulation, electrolytes, enzymes, substrates, urinalysis, serology and T-cells)

    Measured: Baseline through 48 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing tipranavir and ritonavir in people with HIV Infections, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 30 sites in 7 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 11 inclusion and 22 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 14 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 30 sites in France, United States, Italy, Brazil, Spain and 2 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 23 Dec 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?

Treatment Response at Week 48 (time frame: 48 weeks). 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 14 May 2014.
