NCT00525733

Brief Summary

The researchers are involved in a phase II, randomized, two-arm study, comparing the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of open-label ritonavir (RTV)-enhanced darunavir with Truvada to a 5-drug multi-class regimen including truvada, darunavir/ritonavir/maraviroc/and raltegravir on acutely HIV-1-infected, antiretroviral (ARV) drug-naïve men and women. Subjects will participate for at least 60 weeks and up to 96 weeks if in the opinion of the investigator and patient that continued therapy is in the patient's best interest. Hypotheses:

  • Multi-class antiretroviral therapy (ART) is superior to RTV-enhanced ATV in combination with Emtricitabine/Tenofovir DF (FTC/TDF) with respect to suppression of viral replication.
  • Multi-class ART is superior to RTV-enhanced ATV in combination with FTC/TDF with respect to immune reconstitution in peripheral blood and in the gastrointestinal mucosa.
  • Multi-class ART is equivalent to RTV-enhanced ATV in combination with FTC/TDF with respect to tolerability.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The Primary Outcome of This Study is the Proportion of Patients Having Detectable HIV-1 RNA Using the Single Copy Assay After 48 Weeks of Treatment and the Study Hypothesis is That New Treatment is Better Than the Control Group.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Acute HIV-1 infection defined as:
  • Negative ELISA/Western Blot or indeterminate Western Blot in the presence of HIV-1 RNA \> 5,000 copies/ml.
  • Positive HIV-1 serology with a detuned ELISA O.D. value below 0.5.
  • A documented negative serology within 180 days of screening and a positive HIV-1 serology at screening
  • Antiretroviral (ARV) drug-naïve (defined as ≤ 7 days of ARV treatment at any time prior to entry\*).
  • The only exceptions are:
  • Use of antivirals as part of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) provided the subject did not acquire HIV-1 infection from the event that required PEP.
  • Therapy with an investigational ARV drug that was not an NRTI, NNRTI, or PI.
  • Laboratory values obtained within 30 days prior to study entry.
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 500/mm3
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL
  • Platelet count ≥ 40,000/mm3
  • AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT), and alkaline phosphatase ≤ 7.5 × ULN
  • Total bilirubin ≤2.5 x ULN
  • Calculated creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min as estimated by the Cockcroft-
  • +13 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Currently breast-feeding.
  • Use of immunomodulators (e.g., interleukins, interferons, cyclosporine), systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy, or investigational therapy within 30 days prior to study entry. NOTE: Subjects receiving stable physiologic glucocorticoid doses, defined as prednisone ≤ 10 mg/day, will not be excluded.
  • Known allergy/sensitivity to study drugs or their formulations.
  • Active drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the site investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements.
  • Serious illness requiring systemic treatment and/or hospitalization until candidate either completes therapy or is clinically stable on therapy, in the opinion of the site investigator, for at least 7 days prior to study entry.
  • NOTE: Oral candidiasis, vaginal candidiasis, mucocutaneous herpes simplex, and other minor illnesses (as judged by the site investigator) have no restriction.
  • Clinically relevant cardiac conduction system disease. This includes severe first degree atrioventricular block (PR interval \> 0.26 seconds), or second, or third-degree atrioventricular block.
  • Requirement for any current medications that are prohibited with any study treatment.
  • Evidence of major resistance-associated mutations on genotype performed within 14 days of day 1. Major resistance-associated mutations include: NRTI: K65R or inserts Q151M, M184V/I, PI: I50L/V, I84V, N88S.
  • Viral population that is either dual tropic or X4 tropic using the Monogram assay (patients will be entered and be treated pending this result performed within 28 days of day 1).
  • Current imprisonment or involuntary incarceration in a medical facility for psychiatric or physical (e.g., infectious disease) illness.
  • Participation in any other clinical trial within 30 days prior to screening.
  • Any other clinical conditions or prior therapy that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for the study or unable to comply with the requirements.
