About this study

Official title: The Effect of Pregnancy on the Pharmacokinetics of the Kaletra Tablet: A Longitudinal Investigation in the Second and Third Trimesters Including Empiric Dosage Adjustment

In this study, we are looking at blood concentrations of Kaletra in HIV positive patients during pregnancy. The patients will come in for 4 visits lasting ~24hrs. These visits take place at 20-24 weeks, 30 weeks, 32 weeks and 8 weeks post-partum. At the end of vist 2 (week 30), we will increase your dose to 2 adult Kaletra tablets, and one pediatric Kaletra tablet (total dose 500/125mg). The dose will remain increased until you are 2 weeks post partum, then it will return to the standard 2 adult tablets (400/100mg).

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare the C12h and AUC0-12h of protein bound and unbound blood plasma lopinavir (LPV) using standard doses during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

    Measured: 20-24 weeks, 30weeks, 32 weeks gestation and 8 weeks postpartum

  2. To compare the C12h and AUC0-12h of protein bound and unbound blood plasma LPV between standard doses (400mg/100mg BID) and increased doses (500/125mg BID) of Kaletra® during the third trimester of pregnancy.

    Measured: 20-24weeks, 30 weeks, 32 weeks gestation, 8weeks postpartum

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To compare the C12h and AUC0-12h of protein bound and unbound blood plasma ritonavir (RTV) using standard doses during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

    Measured: 20-24weeks, 30weeks, 32weeks gestation, 8 weeks postpartum

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Kaletra in people with Pregnancy and HIV, run by University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 15 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 13 May 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 United States. 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?

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?

To compare the C12h and AUC0-12h of protein bound and unbound blood plasma lopinavir (LPV) using standard doses during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. (time frame: 20-24 weeks, 30weeks, 32 weeks gestation and 8 weeks postpartum). 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 13 May 2011.
