NCT00302822

Brief Summary

HIV infection is diagnosed late in a substantial proportion of patients having an increased risk of clinical progression (AIDS, new AIDS-defining event or death). The currently recommended antiretroviral therapy has suboptimal activity in this setting and potent quadruple-drug therapy has not been sufficiently evaluated. Enfuvirtide may be an appropriate candidate as the fourth antiretroviral agent, regarding its activity, its parenteral administration avoiding gastrointestinal symptoms that often lead to interruption of treatment, the lack of pharmacokinetic interactions and the absence of systemic toxicity. The aim of this study is to investigate, in a comparative intensification trial, the immunological benefit of adding enfuvirtide for 6 months to a conventional antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1 infected and severely immunosuppressed patients, naïve of any antiretroviral treatment. We postulate that addition of enfuvirtide to a first-line antiretroviral therapy consisting in emtricitabine/tenofovir combined with either efavirenz or lopinavir/r may improve immunological restoration, measured as the proportion of patients with more than 200 CD4 cells per mm3 after 24 weeks of antiretroviral therapy.
