Brief Summary

CCTG 589 is a randomized, open-label, pilot study comparing the efficacy, safety and tolerability of RAL plus LPV/r to EFV plus TDF/FTC in HIV-infected, treatment-naïve subjects. Subjects will be inel...

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to determine how well a new anti-HIV drug combination (RAL plus LPV/r) taken twice a day decreases the amount of HIV found in participants' blood (viral load) compared to ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Documented HIV-1 infection.
  • Treatment naïve (defined as having never received any HIV antiretroviral agents in past).
  • CD4+ T-cell count greater than or equal to 50 cells/mm3
  • HIV viral load greater than or equal to 5,000 copies/mL
  • Laboratory values obtained by screening laboratories within 30 days of entry:
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than 750/mm3.
  • Hemoglobin greater than 8.0 g/dL.
  • Platelet count greater than 50,000/mm3.
  • Calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) \> 60 mL/min as estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation:
  • For men, (140 - age in years) x (body weight in kg) ÷ (serum creatinine in mg/dL x 72) = CrCl (mL/min)
  • For women, multiply the result by 0.85 = CrCl (mL/min)
  • AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT), and alkaline phosphatase less than 5 x ULN.
  • Total bilirubin less than 2.5 x ULN.
  • Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and agree to use a double-barrier method of contraception throughout the study period.
  • Men and women age greater than or equal to 18 years.
  • Ability to obtain prescription for HIV antiretroviral medications and to have required prescriptions filled prior to entry.
  • Ability and willingness of subject to give written informed consent

Exclusion

  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding
  • Serious illness requiring systemic treatment and/or hospitalization until subject either completes therapy or is clinically stable on therapy, in the opinion of the investigator, for at least 30 days prior to study entry (day 0).
  • Acute therapy for serious infection or other serious medical illnesses (in the judgment of the site investigator) requiring systemic treatment and/or hospitalization within 14 days prior to study entry (day 0).
  • Evidence of HIV seroconversion within 6 months prior to study entry.
  • Evidence of any major HIV drug resistance-associated mutation on any genotype performed prior to study entry or at the time of screening.
  • History of chronic hepatitis C (defined as HCV antibody positive and HCV RNA detectable).
  • History of chronic active hepatitis B (defined as surface antigen positive and/or HBV DNA detectable).
  • Active drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements.
  • Use of any immunomodulator, HIV vaccine, or investigational therapy within 30 days of study entry.
  • Use of human growth hormone within 30 days prior to study entry.
  • Initiation of testosterone or anabolic steroids within 30 days prior to study entry. (Exception: Chronic replacement dosages in patient's with diagnosed hypogonadism is allowed).
