About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blinded Study of the Safety and Efficacy of GS-9350-boosted Atazanavir (ATV/GS-9350) Compared to Ritonavir-boosted Atazanavir (ATV/r) in Combination With Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (FTC/TDF) in HIV-1 Infected, Antiretroviral Treatment-Naive Adults

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a regimen containing cobicistat-boosted atazanavir (ATV+COBI) plus emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Truvada®; FTC/TDF) versus ritonavir-boosted atazanavir (ATV+RTV) plus FTC/TDF in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-naive adults.

Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio. Randomization will be stratified by HIV-1 RNA level (≤ 100,000 copies/mL or > 100,000 copies/mL) at screening. After Week 48, participants will continue to take their blinded study drug and attend visits every 12 weeks until treatment assignments are unblinded, at which point all participants will return for an unblinding visit and be given the option to participate in an open-label rollover extension and receive ATV+COBI+FTC/TDF until COBI tablets become commercially available, or until Gilead Sciences elects to terminate the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 24

    The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 24 was analyzed using the missing = failure method, where participants with missing data were considered to have failed to achieve the endpoint.

    Measured: Week 24

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 48

    The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 48 was analyzed using the missing = failure method.

    Measured: Week 48

  2. Change From Baseline in HIV-1 RNA at Week 24

    The change from baseline in log_10 HIV-1 RNA at Week 24 was analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

  3. Change From Baseline in HIV-1 RNA at Week 48

    The change from baseline in log_10 HIV-1 RNA at Week 48 was analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 48

  4. Change From Baseline in CD4 Cell Count at Week 24

    The change from baseline in CD4 cell count at Week 24 was analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

  5. Change From Baseline in CD4 Cell Count at Week 48

    The change from baseline in CD4 cell count at Week 48 was analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 48

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing COBI, RTV and ATV in people with HIV-1 Infection, run by Gilead Sciences at 31 sites 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 15 inclusion and 24 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 15 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 31 sites 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Oct 2014). 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?

Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 24 (time frame: Week 24). 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 NCT00892437, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Feb 2016.
