About this study

Official title: TMC125-TiDP2-C238: A Randomized, Exploratory, Open-label 48-week Trial to Investigate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, Tolerability and Antiviral Activity of Etravirine (ETR) in Combination With Ritonavir-boosted Atazanavir (ATV/Rtv) and 1 NRTI in Treatment-experienced HIV-1 Infected Subjects

The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics (how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes and eliminates a drug) (PK) of ETR when given with ATV/rtv and 1 NRTI in treatment experienced HIV-1 infected patients. In addition, safety, tolerability and anti-HIV effect of this regimen will also be studied. A total of 46 patients will be enrolled.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized (study drug assigned by chance), exploratory, open-label (all involved people know the identity of the intervention) trial to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability and anti-HIV (anti Human Immunodeficiency Virus) activity of etravirine (ETR ) when given with atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV/rtv) and 1 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) in 46 treatment experienced HIV-1 infected patients. The trial will consist of : 4 weeks of Screening Period, 2 weeks Pre-Treatment Phase, 48-week Treatment Period, and a Final Visit followed by a 4-week Follow-up Period (only for patients not continuing treatment with ETR in another trial or program). Safety evaluations (AE reporting, labs, vital signs, etc.) will be monitored at each study visit. A PK substudy (included in the protocol, with optional participation) with tenofovir (TDF) added to the antiretroviral regimen for 7 days will be conducted in patients with > 24 weeks of treatment with suppressed HIV-1 viral load. In Pre-Treatment Phase, all patients will receive ATV/rtv 300/100 mg once daily to be taken following a meal each morning + 2 NRTIs (dose as specified in the labels) for 14 days. In Treatment Phase, patients will receive ETR 200 mg twice daily in addition to ATV/rtv (300/100 mg or 400/100 mg) once daily with meals + 1 investigator-selected NRTI for 48 weeks. In substudy TDF 300 mg once daily will be added to the treatment regimen x 7 days.

Being tested
Atazanavir (ATV) 300 mg, Atazanavir (ATV) 400 mg, Ritonavir (rtv) 100 mg, Nucleo(side)/(tide) reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), Etravirine (ETR) 200 mg

Time to virologic failure was the time to subsequent loss of virologic response, and the time was calculated from Prebaseline (Week -2). Participants who never achieved a virologic response were defined as nonresponders and counted as virologic failures on Day 1.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Atazanavir (ATV) 300 mg, Atazanavir (ATV) 400 mg and Ritonavir (rtv) 100 mg in people with HIV Infections and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, run by Janssen R&D Ireland at 18 sites in 5 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 30 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in United States, South Africa, Argentina, France, Thailand. 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 30 Sep 2013). 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?

Pharmacokinetic Results of Atazanavir (ATV): Treatment A: ATV/Low-Dose Ritonavir (Rtv) 300/100 mg (Results for C0h, Cmin, and Cmax) (time frame: Day -1 (Pretreatment); Week 2 (Test)). The study lists 11 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 30 Sep 2013.
