About this study

Official title: KALETRA in Combination With New Substances (PROTEKT)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the tolerability of Kaletra (lopinavir/ritonavir) in combination with new substances such as integrase inhibitors (INIs), C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) antagonists, and new non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), as there are many reasons (intolerability, complex resistant patterns or even personal reasons) which may result in a change from the daily clinical routine and lead to the use of a newly approved antiretroviral agent in combination with Kaletra.

Read the detailed description

This study was designed as a non-interventional observational study. Kaletra was prescribed in the usual manner in accordance with the terms of the local market authorization with regards to dose, population and indication as well as local guidelines.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of Adverse Events (Weeks 0-144), Per Event

    Percentage of overall number of adverse events experienced during Weeks 0-144 by adverse event type. Doctors asked participants for adverse events, grouped them into categories given in the electronic case report form (eCRF). The list of adverse events included in the eCRF were hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, low high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, high low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, hyperglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST), elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT), elevated gamma glutamyl transferase (γGT), elevated alkaline phosphatase, stomatitis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, mood disorder, neurocerebellar disorder, headache, fatigue, fever, other (listed as 'not specified').

    Measured: Weeks 0 to 144

  2. Prevalence of Adverse Events (Weeks 0-144), Per Participant

    Percentage of participants who experienced at least 1 adverse event during Weeks 0-144 by adverse event type. Doctors asked participants for adverse events, grouped them into categories given in the eCRF. The list of adverse events included in the eCRF were hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, low HDL cholesterol, high LDL cholesterol, hyperglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, elevated AST, elevated ALT, elevated γGT, elevated alkaline phosphatase, stomatitis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, mood disorder, neurocerebellar disorder, headache, fatigue, fever, other (listed as 'not specified').

    Measured: Weeks 0 to 144

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Change From Baseline in Absolute Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) Cell Count

    Changes in participants' CD4 cell counts were assessed by measuring the change from Baseline in the number of CD4 cells at scheduled visits planned as part of routine care.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 144

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving Absolute CD4 Cell Count Increases From Baseline of ≥ 100 Cells/μL at All Time Points, Modified Intent-to-Treat Analysis

    Changes in participants' CD4 cell counts were assessed by measuring the number of CD4 cells at scheduled visits planned as part of routine care.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 144

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving Absolute CD4 Cell Count Increases From Baseline of ≥ 100 Cells/μL at All Time Points, As Treated Analysis

    Changes in participants' CD4 cell counts were assessed by measuring the number of CD4 cells at scheduled visits planned as part of routine care.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 144

  4. Time to CD4 Cell Count Increase From Baseline of ≥ 100/ Cells/μL

    Measured: From Week 0 to Week 144

  5. Number of Participants With Lopinavir (LPV) Resistance at Baseline

    Characterization of baseline resistance and development of resistance using the interpretation system HIV-Genotypic Resistance-Algorithm Deutschland (GRADE; available at www.hiv-grade.de.

    Genotypic interpretation was performed using the HIV-GRADE algorithm updated in December 2015). "Susceptible" indicates full susceptibility of a virus to a certain drug without any limitations in terms of resistance. "Partial" resistance is indicated if severe limitations in susceptibility have to be expected and the drug can not count for a fully active drug any more. However, these drugs can still be very useful in situations with generally limited options (salvage). "Resistant" indicates that high level drug resistance has to be expected.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0)

  6. Number of Participants With LPV Resistance During Follow-Up

    Characterization of baseline resistance and development of resistance using the interpretation system HIV-GRADE (available at www.hiv-grade.de. Genotypic interpretation was performed using the HIV-GRADE algorithm updated in December 2015). "Susceptible" indicates full susceptibility of a virus to a certain drug without any limitations in terms of resistance. "Partial" resistance is indicated if severe limitations in susceptibility have to be expected and the drug can not count for a fully active drug any more. However, these drugs can still be very useful in situations with generally limited options (salvage). "Resistant" indicates that high level drug resistance has to be expected.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Human Immunodeficiency Virus, run by AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott).

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 19 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 May 2017). 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?

Prevalence of Adverse Events (Weeks 0-144), Per Event (time frame: Weeks 0 to 144). 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 19 May 2017.
