What is being measured

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

  1. Total Number of Patients With Adverse Drug Reactions

    Number of patients with adverse drug reactions, defined as adverse events for which the causal relationship with Kaletra was something other than "not related" by the investigator (i.e., "probable," "possible," or "unclear"), that occurred in ≥ 5% of patients. Adverse drug reactions are reported by preferred term and inclusive of all those reported at each visit. Although a patient may experience a particular preferred term more than once, each patient was counted only once for each preferred term.

    Measured: During the course of the survey period up to Year 8

  2. Cluster of Differentiation 4 Lymphocyte Count (CD4)

    The evolution of patients' CD4-positive (CD4+) T-lymphocyte counts after starting treatment with Kaletra was assessed by measuring the number of CD4+ cells at baseline and each subsequent study visit. CD4+ counts are reported as the number of CD4+ cells per cubic millimeter (cmm) and presented by the mean at each visit. Only observed cases were included in analyses; no data were imputed. n = xx, xx is the number of patients naive to previous antiretroviral treatment and those that were not who had CD4+ T-cell counts available for analysis at each study visit.

    Measured: Baseline (Month 0), every 3 months thereafter up to Month 12 and every year thereafter up to Year 8 (Month 96) during the course of the survey period

  3. Mean Number of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Copies Per Milliliter (mL) Using a Logarithmic (Base 10) Transformation at Each Visit

    Number of HIV RNA copies per mL is presented by the mean per visit for patients that were naive to previous antiretroviral treatment and those that were not. HIV-RNA data reported as < 400 copies/mL were considered 399 copies/mL in calculations. The mean and standard deviation of HIV-RNA levels were thus calculated after logarithmic (base 10) transformation (log10 399 is 2.6). Only observed cases were included in analyses; no data were imputed. n = xx, xx is the number of treatment-naive, treatment-experienced participants who had CD4+ T-cell counts available for analysis at each study visit.

    Measured: Baseline (Month 0), every 3 months thereafter up to Month 12 and every year thereafter up to Year 8 (Month 96) during the course of the survey period

  4. Number of Patients Included in Each Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Classification Category for HIV-infected Adults and Adolescents

    Number of patients in each CDC category at Baseline (last assessment within 30 days prior to first dose of Kaletra) and after treatment. CDC categories defined as: Category A (asymptomatic acute HIV infection), Category B (symptomatic HIV infection; not Categories A and C), Category C (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS] indicator status), Class P-0 (children not confirmed for HIV infection), Class P-1 (children with asymptomatic HIV infection), or Class P-2 (children with symptomatic HIV infection).

    Measured: Baseline (Month 0) and following last treatment dose during the course of the survey period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Human Immunodeficiency Virus, run by Abbott at 29 sites in Japan.

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 1 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 1 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in Japan. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Mar 2012). 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?

Total Number of Patients With Adverse Drug Reactions (time frame: During the course of the survey period up to Year 8). The study lists 4 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 1 Mar 2012.
