Participating country : FRANCE

Primary objective : Comparing the kinetic of HIV-RNA decay in blood plasma and in seminal plasma in patients starting a triple combination regimen with dolutegravir + tenofovir DF (TDF) + emtricitabine (FTC) at the time of PHI.

Secondary objectives :

  • Comparison of HIV-1 RNA level in plasma (threshold 20 and 1 copies/ml) and in seminal plasma (threshold 60 copies/ml) at each visit D0, W2, W4, W8, W12, W24, W36, W48
  • To assess the frequency of intermittent shedding in seminal plasma once virological suppression has been achieved and until W48
  • Evolution of cellular HIV-1 DNA level in PBMC and in non-sperm cells between D0 and W48
  • Comparison of dolutegravir concentration in blood plasma and seminal plasma
  • Study of risk factors associated with viral persistence of HIV-RNA in the seminal plasma
  • Analysis by deep sequencing of the viral population (quasi-species) in both compartments (blood plasma and seminal plasma) before virological suppression has been achieved (i.e. at D0 and W12)

Inclusion criteria :

  • Patients diagnosed at the time of primary HIV infection (PHI) (i) a negative or indeterminate HIV ELISA associated with a positive antigenemia or plasma HIV RNA, (ii) a western blot profile compatible with ongoing seroconversion (incomplete western blot with absence of antibodies to pol proteins (p34, p68)) or (iii) an initially negative test for HIV antibodies followed within 3 months by a positive HIV serology
  • Treatment including dolutegravir (DTG 50mg) + tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC 245 mg/200 mg) initiated by the referee physician within a maximum of 15 days after diagnosis of PHI
  • Genotypic sensitivity to TDF, FTC and DTG
  • Patient with medical care insurance

Exclusion criteria :

  • Chronic infection
  • Infection or co-infection with HIV-2

Study treatment : Dolutegravir and tenofovir/emtricitabine Number of subjets : 20 patients (exploratory study)

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparing the kinetic of HIV-RNA decay in blood plasma and in seminal fluid

    Measure of HIV-RNA level in blood plasma and seminal fluid at each point and comparaison about the decay between both

    Measured: 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks and 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The evolution of HIV proviral DNA in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and in seminal fluid

    Measured: Day 0 and 48 weeks

  2. Comparison of dolutegravir concentration in blood plasma and seminal fluid

    Measure of doltegravir concentration in blood and seminal fluid at each points and comparaison of the value between the 2 compartments

    Measured: 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks and 48 weeks

  3. Analysis by deep sequencing of the viral population (quasi-species) in both compartments (blood plasma and seminal plasma) before virological suppression has been achieved

    Measured: Day 0 and 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Dolutegravir in people with HIV Infection Primary, run by Institut de Médecine et d'Epidémiologie Appliquée - Fondation Internationale Léon M'Ba.

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 2 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 30 Oct 2019. 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.

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?

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?

Comparing the kinetic of HIV-RNA decay in blood plasma and in seminal fluid (time frame: 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks and 48 weeks). 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 30 Oct 2019.
