Trial summary

Vicriviroc (vye-kri-VYE-rock) is an investigational drug (not yet approved by Government Regulatory Authorities for commercial use) that belongs to a new class of drugs, called CCR5 receptor blockers. This group of drugs blocks one of the ways HIV enters T-cells (the cells that fight infection). Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 16 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects must be at least 16 years of age (or minimal age that defines an adult as determined by local regulatory authorities or legal requirements), of either sex and of any race, with dual/mixed CCR5/CXCR4 tropic HIV infection.
  • Subjects must have treatment failure (defined by plasma HIV RNA [ribonucleic acid] >1000 copies/mL) on an existing regimen.
  • Subjects must be antiretroviral therapy (ART)-experienced and have documented genotypic and/or phenotypic resistance to at least one drug in 2 of the following 3 drug classes: nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), or protease inhibitor (PI)
  • OR
  • Antiretroviral class experience for at least 6 months (sequential or cumulative) with at least two of the following:
  • one NRTI
Show all 9Show fewer
  • one NNRTI
  • one PI (excluding low dose ritonavir).
  • In the opinion of the investigator, the best treatment regimen for the subject must be an optimized ART regimen consisting of >=3 drugs, the optimized regimen must contain at least 2 active drugs, one of which must be a ritonavir-boosted PI (>=100 mg ritonavir). With the exception of etravirine, NNRTIs may not be a component of the optimized regimen.

Who cannot join

  • Any condition likely to increase the risk of seizures.
  • CD4 count <100 cells/mm^3.
  • Current or prior history of malignancy.

About this study

Official title: Vicriviroc in Combination Treatment With an Optimized ART Regimen in Treatment-Experienced Subjects With R5/X4 HIV Infection (VICTOR-E2; Protocol No. P05057)

Vicriviroc (vye-kri-VYE-rock) is an investigational drug (not yet approved by Government Regulatory Authorities for commercial use) that belongs to a new class of drugs, called CCR5 receptor blockers. This group of drugs blocks one of the ways HIV enters T-cells (the cells that fight infection). Previous smaller studies in HIV treatment-experienced patients, have shown that vicriviroc is safe and effective. The purpose of this study is to investigate in subjects with detectable dual/mixed CCR5/CXCR4-tropic HIV whether vicriviroc when added to other appropriate HIV drugs can decrease the level of HIV (viral load) in the blood and that it is well tolerated.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center study of vicriviroc maleate in HIV subjects infected with dual/mixed CCR5/CXCR4-tropic virus and who have documented resistance to at least 2 of the 3 antiretroviral drug classes (NRTI, NNRTI or PI) or at least 6 months experience with at least 2 of the following: one NRTI, one NNRTI, or one PI (excluding low-dose ritonavir) and failure on their current stable regimen. The study will compare the virologic benefit of adding vicriviroc to an optimized background regimen to a control group receiving placebo plus the new optimized background therapy. The optimized background regimen will be chosen by the investigator based on results of drug susceptibility tests performed at Screening, history of prior antiretroviral drug use by the patient, and drug toxicity. Primary efficacy analysis will be conducted when all subjects have completed 48 weeks of treatment. An interim analysis will be performed when all subjects have completed 24 weeks of treatment. Subjects who complete 48 weeks of treatment, or who discontinue early but are deemed eligible upon rescreening, will be offered participation in the open-label segment of the study, and will receive vicriviroc 30 mg once daily, if appropriate, until commercially available or until the sponsor terminates the clinical development of vicriviroc.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Vicriviroc in people with HIV Infections and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 9 inclusion and 3 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 21 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Change from baseline in HIV RNA (log10 copies/mL) (time frame: At Week 48). 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 21 Dec 2015.
