Study on the Effect of Kaletra + Nevirapine as Maintenance Bitherapy Compared to a Triple Therapy Including Kaletra + Analogues in HIV Patients
Randomised, Prospective Multicentre Clinical Study on the Effect of the Combination of Lopinavir/Rtv + Nevirapine as Maintenance Bitherapy (Without Nucleoside Analogues) in Comparison With a Triple Therapy Including Lopinavir/Rtv + Nucleoside Analogues in HIV-Infected Patients

Brief Summary
The study aims to evaluate the changes in mitochondrial DNA (mDNA) by means of the mDNA/nuclearDNA (nDNA) ratio as a marker of mitochondrial toxicity following the interruption of nucleoside analogues.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The primary outcome measures are changes in the mDNA/nDNA ratio at each visit with regard to the baseline visit.
At 24 and 48 weeks with regard to the baseline visit
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Study of the efficacy of the therapy with Lopinavir/rtv (3 tablets every 12 h) + Nevirapine (1 tablet every 12 h) in the maintenance of viral suppression and immune recovery in patients on HAART therapy for more than 9 months
At 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks.
and CV<50 copies/mL over at last 6 months
At 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks
To determine whether the combination with Lopinavir/rtv +Nevirapine is efficacious in avoiding progression to lipoatrophy/lipodystrophy or else the reversal thereof
At 24 and 48 weeks
To study whether the combination with Lopinavir/rtv +Nevirapine makes it possible to control dyslipidemia associated with the use of Lopinavir/rtv on proving the "lipid-lowering" action of NVP
At 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks.
To check whether the simplified combination with the standard dose of Lopinavir/rtv with NVP is sufficient to maintain suppression of viral replication. Pharmacokinetic studies (PK) would be performed to estimate this point
At 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks
- +2 more secondary outcomes
