About this study

Official title: IMPAACT 1077HS: HAART Standard Version of the Promoting Maternal and Infant Survival Everywhere (PROMISE) Study

This study was a randomized strategy trial conducted among women who received highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) during pregnancy for purposes of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV but did not otherwise meet criteria to initiate HAART for their own health. The study was designed to determine whether continuation of HAART after delivery or other pregnancy outcome reduced morbidity and mortality compared to discontinuation and re-initiation of HAART when protocol specified criteria were met.

Read the detailed description

This randomized strategy trial addressed therapeutic questions for women from regions where antepartum HAART for PMTCT (for all CD4+ cell counts) and postpartum formula feeding is standard of care, and who also had both a pre-HAART CD4+ cell count >400 cells/mm^3 and a screening (on-HAART) CD4+ cell count > 400 cells/mm^3. For these women, the objectives related to the relative efficacy and safety of continuing HAART (when it is no longer used for PMTCT) versus discontinuing HAART.

Potential participants were identified/recruited and consented during pregnancy or after delivery or other pregnancy outcome. Study-specific screening was initiated in the third trimester or after pregnancy outcome. Women who were screened for the study were counseled to continue their HAART until they were randomized.

Randomization would occur within 0-42 days after pregnancy outcome. Women who did not carry their pregnancy to the third trimester but otherwise meet study eligibility criteria could be enrolled.

Participants were randomized to one of the two study arms:

Arm A: Continuation of HAART Arm B: Discontinuation of HAART and resume HAART when protocol-specified criteria were met

Participants were to be followed until 84 weeks after the last participant was randomized.

Key evaluations were conducted at Screening, Entry, post entry visits were scheduled to take place 4 weeks after entry, 12 weeks after entry, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Key evaluations included physical examinations, clinical assessments, and blood collection.

On 7 July 2015, the study sites received formal communications regarding the results of the Strategic Timing of Antiretroviral Treatment (START) study and associated changes were implemented to the 1077HS study in response to these results. All sites were instructed that all women in the 1077HS study were to be informed of the START study results and that antiretroviral therapy (ART) was recommended for all women based on the START study results.

What participants receive

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

  • Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)Drug

    A combination of three or more HIV medications belonging to two or more drug classes.

    The preferred study-supplied HAART regimen was lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/RTV) plus fixed dose combination tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC). Additional ARVs provided for use in this study included fixed dose combination lamivudine/zidovudine (3TC/ZDV), lamivudine (3TC), zidovudine (ZDV), tenofovir (TDF), fixed dose combination tenofovir/emtricitabine/rilpivirine (TDF/FTC/RPV), didanosine (ddI), atazanavir (ATV), raltegravir (RAL), and ritonavir (RTV). While LPV/RTV plus TDF/FTC was the preferred study-supplied regimen, the study clinicians in conjunction with participants would determine the optimal drug combination for each participant.

  8. Incidence Rate of Cardiovascular or Other Metabolic Events

    This outcome was intended as an exploratory analyses and was not included in the primary analyses conditional on primary results and funding. Given the results of the primary analyses it was decided that this outcome was no longer scientifically important. No resources and funding was allocated by NIH.

Higher scores indicate better Quality of Life (QoL). The range is 0-100 units on a scale

    Measured: week 0, 48 and 96

  18. Changes in Plasma Concentrations of Inflammatory and Thrombogenic Markers

    This outcome was intended as an exploratory analyses and was not included in the primary analyses conditional on primary results and funding. This outcome required additional funding for laboratory testing which was not available and so this outcome is not reported.

    Measured: Measured at baseline, after 4 and 12 weeks, and then every 6 months until study termination. All participants were followed until July 7, 2015 (an average of 125 weeks of follow-up).

  19. Cost Effectiveness and Feasibility of Treatment Models

    This outcome was intended as an exploratory analyses and was not included in the primary analyses. Given the results of the primary analyses and changes in WHO guidelines to recommend lifelong antiretroviral therapy, the protocol team decided that this outcome was no longer scientifically important. No resources and funding was allocated by NIH.

    Measured: Measured at baseline, after 4 - 12 and 24 weeks, and then every 6 months until study termination. All participants were followed until July 7, 2015 (an average of 125 weeks of follow-up).

A Phase 4 study testing Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in people with HIV Infection, run by International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials Group at 50 sites in 9 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 16 inclusion and 9 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 14 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 50 sites in United States, Brazil, Thailand, Botswana, Peru and 4 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 19 Feb 2018). 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?

Incidence Rates of AIDS - Defining Illness, Serious Non-AIDS Defining, Cardiovascular, Renal, Hepatic Event, or Death (time frame: From study entry to study termination, all participants were followed until July 7, 2015 (an average of 125 weeks of follow-up).). 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 NCT00955968, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 Aug 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
