  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Confirmed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection diagnosed by a positive virologic test result on 2 separate occasions by:
  • HIV DNA polymerase chain reaction
  • HIV RNA with values ≥1,000 copies/mL
  • Positive HIV enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at ≥18 months of age, with confirmatory Western blot or indirect immunoflourescence antibody

For the purposes of this study, participants exposed to ARVs in utero or intrapartum may be included in the study but will be considered treatment naive. ATV-naive participants must have genotypic sensitivity at screening to ATV (fold change in susceptibility <2.2) and to both components of the local NRTI backbone. The NRTIs must have been approved for pediatric use at the local country level.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Atazanavir powder, Ritonavir oral solution and Atazanavir capsules in people with HIV Infections, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 18 sites in 6 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 9 inclusion and 10 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 24 May 2018. 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 Mexico, South Africa, Chile, Peru, Thailand and 1 more country. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 6 Feb 2014). 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?

Number of Participants With Death as Outcome, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Discontinuation (time frame: From Day 1 to Week 48). 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 24 May 2018.
