An Open-label, Non-randomized, Single-arm Study to Investigate the Mechanism(s) by Which Nevirapine Increases Plasma HDL in HIV+ Subjects

January 29, 2025 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

An Open-label, Non-randomized, Single-arm Study, to Investigate the Mechanism(s) by Which Nevirapine Increases Plasma High Density Lipoproteins Concentration in HIV+ Subjects Treated With VIRAMUNE® Tablets

  1. In order to obtain further insight as to how NVP affects HDL metabolism, the in vivo kinetics of the HDL apolipoprotein, Apo A-1, before and 6 weeks after initiation of NVP containing treatment were evaluated. In addition, the activity of the key enzymes related to HDL metabolism were assessed.

    [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

  2. In order to determine the relevance of the HDL increase in decreasing cardiovascular risk in HIV-positive subjects we evaluated endothelial function (FMD) as a surrogate marker for cardiovascular disease in patients.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Percentage change of fractional synthetic rate (FSR) of Apo A-1
Time Frame: after 6 weeks of treatment
after 6 weeks of treatment
Percentage change of flow mediated dilatation (FMD)
Time Frame: after 6 and 24 weeks of treatment
after 6 and 24 weeks of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Percentage change in the proteins involved in HDL metabolism
Time Frame: after 6 and 24 weeks of treatment
after 6 and 24 weeks of treatment
The percentage change in plasma levels of lipoproteins in the fasting lipid panel (TC, LDL, HDL, TG) from Week 0 (baseline) to 6 and 24 weeks of treatment with NVP-based antiretroviral therapy
Time Frame: from week 0 to 6, and 24 weeks of treatment

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

NO

IPD Plan Description

Clinical studies sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, phases I to IV, interventional and non-interventional, are in scope for sharing of the raw clinical study data and clinical study documents. Exceptions might apply, e.g. studies in products where Boehringer Ingelheim is not the license holder; studies regarding pharmaceutical formulations and associated analytical methods, and studies pertinent to pharmacokinetics using human biomaterials; studies conducted in a single center or targeting rare diseases (in case of low number of patients and therefore limitations with anonymization).
