About this study

Official title: Initiation of a Once Daily Regimen of Tenofovir, Lamivudine and Efavirenz After 4 Weeks Versus 12 Weeks of Tuberculosis Treatment in HIV-1 Infected Patients (Time Study)

To study the optimal timing to initiate antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected patients who are receiving tuberculosis treatment between at 4 weeks and at 12 weeks after tuberculosis treatment by comparing the composite end point of death rate, hospitalization rate and adverse drug reactions at week 48, 96 and 144.

Read the detailed description

The growing epidemic of HIV poses a serious public health threat in many countries, including Thailand. Mortality is clearly reduced in HIV and tuberculosis (TB) co-infected patients who initiate antiretroviral therapy (ART) after the treatment of TB, but the optimal timing to initiate ART is one of the major concern for patients concurrently receiving both therapies. To date, the prospective, randomized, control trial to study the optimal timing to initiate ART in the patients is still limited. In addition, the current recommendation to start ART in patients co-infected with HIV and TB is still based on expert opinions. Here, the investigators plan to investigate the optimal timing to initiate antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected patients who are receiving tuberculosis treatment between at 4 weeks and at 12 weeks after tuberculosis treatment by comparing the composite end point of death rate, hospitalization rate and adverse drug reactions at week 48, 96 and 144 at Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Institute, Ministry of Public Health, Nonthaburi, Thailand.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing tenofovir, lamivudine, efavirenz in people with HIV Infections and Tuberculosis, run by Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Institute at 1 site in Thailand.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Nov 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 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 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: this study was ended prematurely by ethical committees with a reason of the final outcome was achieved with no longer recruitment was needed.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

death rate (time frame: 48 weeeks). 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 NCT01014481, 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 17 Nov 2011.
