About this study
Official title: A Pharmacokinetics Study Comparing Lopinavir Plasma Exposure When Given as Lopinavir/Ritonavir (1:1) in the Presence of Rifampicin and Lopinavir/Ritonavir (4:1) Without Rifampicin in HIV and TB Co-infected Children in South Africa.
The purpose of this study is to determine the lopinavir levels in blood of HIV and TB infected children (3-15kg) when given lopinavir/ritonavir in a 1:1 ratio with rifampicin containing TB regimen and its safety.
Read the detailed description
This is a multicentre, open label, non-randomized, prospective, noninferiority study to compare the pharmacokinetics of lopinavir administered with superboosting (LPV/r 1:1) and concurrent RIF treatment or with standard boosting (LPV/r 4:1) without concurrent RIF treatment, and to assess the safety, tolerance, and virological effect of superboosting in HIV-TB co-infected infants and children weighing >3 kg and ≤15 kg.
LPV/r will be administered as the liquid 80/20 mg/mL formulation (4:1 standard boosting ratio). During anti-TB treatment, additional RTV liquid formulation will be provided to deliver a 1:1 superboosting ratio of LPV to RTV. Actual doses for antiretrovirals and anti-TB drugs will be based on the South African (SA) weight band dosing recommendations and provided as per the site standard of care.

lopinavir with ritonavir in 1:1 ratioDrug
Also called Lopinavir/ritonavir, Ritonavir
During co-treatment of rifampicin containing tuberculosis treatment and lopinavir/ritonavir (4:1) based therapy, additional ritonavir is given to make lopinavir/ritonavir 1:1 ratio
Lopinavir/ritonavir 4:1Drug
Also called Lopinavir/ritonavir
This is the conventional dosing of LPV/r 4:1 for HIV when TB treatment has not been started or has been stopped

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing lopinavir with ritonavir in 1:1 ratio and Lopinavir/ritonavir 4:1 in people with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome and Tuberculosis, run by Drugs for Neglected Diseases at 5 sites in South Africa.
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 6 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 11 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites in South Africa. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Modelled C0/morning trough (time frame: Predose). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
