A Study of Single Dose Nevirapine (NVP) Combined With Combivir® for the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (pMTCT) - Treatment Options Preservation Study (TOPS)
An Open-label Study Evaluating the Resistance Profile of Single Dose Nevirapine(NVP) When Combined With a 4 or 7 Day Course of Combivir® (ZDV/3TC) Compared to Single Dose Nevirapine for the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (pMTCT) of HIV - Treatment Options Preservation Study (T.O.P.S.)

Brief Summary
To determine whether a regimen of single dose nevirapine combined with either 4 or 7 days of Combivir®, compared to a regimen of single dose nevirapine, for the prevention of mother to child transmission can reduce the rate of development of drug resistant mutations of HIV-1, in HIV-1 infected pregnant women, who have not received antiretroviral therapy previously.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of mothers with HIV-1 isolates with new NNRTI (Non Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor) resistance-associated mutations identified by genotype testing
6 weeks following delivery
Interventions
Nevirapine 200mg once daily for 14 days followed by 200mg twice daily thereafter for the remainder of the treatment period. Combivir®, one tablet twice daily.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Pregnant women identified at antenatal clinics after from 34 weeks gestation and who are antiretroviral drug naive.
- Mothers with a documented positive HIV Rapid test confirmed by a detectable HI V-1 RNA PCR (viral load).
- Mother to have a screening viral load of \> 2000 RNA copies/mL.
You may not qualify if:
- Mothers who, in the opinion of the investigator ,cannot be relied on to return with their infants for postnatal visits.
- Mothers who have received any antiretroviral drugs previously.
- Clinical suspicion of intra-uterine foetal death
- Unwillingness or inability to reasonably comply with the protocol requirements.
- Use of any other investigational product during the pregnancy and for the dura tion of the study period.
- Patients with a recent history of pancreatitis or peripheral neuropathy.
- Patients with renal failure requiring dialysis.
- Patients with evidence of hepatic dysfunction as measured by total bilirubin \> 2.5 times ULN or AST/ALT \> 5 times ULN at the screening visit.
- Patients with any one of the following additional laboratory abnormalities at screening : Haemoglobin concentration \< 7.5 g/dl. Neutrophil count \< 750 cells/mm3. Platelet count \< 75,000 cells/mm3. Serum amylase \> 2 x ULN.
- recent history ( during the pregnancy) of drug abuse or alcoholism.
- Mothers who will undergo elective caesarean section.
- If known prior to delivery, mothers with foetuses with anomalies incompatible with life.
