Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 55 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Documented physician-diagnosed HIV-infection (HIV+ antibody or plasma HIV-RNA+); HIV-negative volunteers must have a negative HIV-ELISA.
  • Age 18 to 55 years;
  • Either antiretroviral naïve, or no HIV-therapy in the preceding 6 months;
  • Planned antiretroviral regimen includes standard doses of ZDV plus 3TC as part of the antiretroviral regimen. Once- or twice-daily 3TC will be allowed.

Who cannot join

  • Any medical condition that in the opinion of the investigators would jeopardize the intent of the study.
  • In the opinion of the investigator, any concomitant immunomodulatory medications, chemotherapeutic agents, investigational drugs, and alternative therapies, including, glucocorticoids, recombinant growth factors or cytokines (e.g. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, interferon-alpha or gamma, human growth hormone, etc), ribavirin, birth-control pills, and sex hormones that could interfere with the cellular pharmacology of the study medications;
  • Concomitant medications that interfere with renal drug clearances including, tenofovir, adefovir, cidofovir, ganciclovir, probenecid, or any similarly problematic medication in the opinion of the investigators;
  • Concomitant warfarin or daily aspirin (to prevent excess bleeding from biopsy).
  • Pregnancy or a plan to become pregnant, or menopause;
  • Any > or = grade II abnormality in hemoglobin, absolute neutrophil count, routine liver function tests, serum creatinine, or other organ function abnormalities.
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Any medical or personal condition that, in the judgment of the investigators, may influence the subject's ability to comply with study conditions, such as active mental illnesses, or plans to leave the geographical area.
  • Inability to give informed consent.
  • Triple nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase regimens.

About this study

Official title: Sex and Disease Dependent Nucleoside Analog Toxicity

This study evaluated the blood and blood cell concentrations of zidovudine and lamivudine in men versus women and in those with versus without HIV infection. Additionally, markers of side effects were correlated with blood levels of the drugs. The hypothesis was that women and those with HIV would have higher drug levels, as well as markers of side effects.

What participants receive

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

  • zidovudine 300mg and lamivudine 150mg as CombivirDrug

    twice daily for 12 days in the HIV-negative group and indefinitely for their care in the HIV-positive group

Study groups in NCT01386970
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HIV-negativeActive comparatorThis group was used to compare intracellular ZDV- and 3TC-triphosphate concentrations to the HIV-infected group and in men versus women.
Receives: Drug: zidovudine 300mg and lamivudine 150mg as Combivir
HIV-infectedActive comparatorThis group was started on ZDV-3TC based therapy. Intracellular ZDV- and 3TC-triphosphate concentrations were compared in men versus women and the HIV-negative group.
Receives: Drug: zidovudine 300mg and lamivudine 150mg as Combivir

What is being measured

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

  1. ZDV-TP Drug Levels Compared Between HIV Negative and HIV Infected Subject

    To compare ZDV- triphosphate concentrations in HIV-negative versus HIV-infected subjects.

    Measured: Day 12 of dosing

  2. 3TC-TP Drug Levels Compared Between HIV Negative and HIV Infected Subject

    To compare 3TC- triphosphate concentrations in HIV-negative versus HIV-infected subjects.

    Measured: Day 12 of dosing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing zidovudine 300mg and lamivudine 150mg as Combivir in people with HIV, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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 16 Mar 2020. 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 United States. 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 16 Mar 2020). 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?

ZDV-TP Drug Levels Compared Between HIV Negative and HIV Infected Subject (time frame: Day 12 of dosing). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01386970, which also lists 6 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 16 Mar 2020.
