About this study

Official title: A Phase 4, Single-Arm Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide in HIV-1 Infected Patients With Active Illicit Substance Use

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) in HIV-1 infected patients who actively use illicit substances. The study will also evaluate retention in care and adherence to B/F/TAF by self-report and pharmacokinetic analysis.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, single-arm, prospective, pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of B/F/TAF in viremic HIV-1 infected treatment naive or experienced patients with active illicit substance use outside of nicotine, alcohol, and marijuana use.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL as Determined by the FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm

    The percentage of participants achieving HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 24 analyzed by the snapshot algorithm, which defines a participants virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within an allowed window of time, along with study drug discontinuation status.

    Measured: Week 24

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Grade 3 or Greater Adverse Events

    The percentage of participants experiencing grade 3 or greater adverse events at Week 24

    Measured: Week 24

  2. Percentage of Participants With Grade 3 or Greater Adverse Events

    The percentage of participants experiencing grade 3 or greater adverse events at Week 48

    Measured: Week 48

  3. Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL as Determined by the FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm

    The percentage of participants achieving HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 48 analyzed by the snapshot algorithm, which defines a participants virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within an allowed window of time, along with study drug discontinuation status.

    Measured: Week 48

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide in people with HIV-1-infection, run by University of Nebraska 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 7 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 4 Oct 2023. 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 20 Dec 2022). 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?

Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL as Determined by the FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm (time frame: Week 24). 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 4 Oct 2023.
