Lopinavir Capsules to Kaletra or Invirase Tablets (LoCKIT)

July 15, 2011 updated by: Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust

A 24-week, Randomized, Open-label, 2-arm Study to Compare the Safety, Efficacy and Tolerability of Invirase® Tablets With Ritonavir Versus Kaletra® Tablets in HIV 1 Infected Adults on a Kaletra® Based Regimen With 2 Nucleosides/Nucleotides

This study will compare the benefit for patients switching from Kaletra® to Invirase® tablets over remaining on Kaletra® (based on randomization), to elicit the lipid benefits inferred in previous studies

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, phase IV, multicentre, randomised, open-label, 2-arm, 24-week study. Approximately 130 HIV-1 infected patients on a stable antiretroviral regimen containing Kaletra® with 2 nucleoside/nucleotide analogues will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms: saquinavir with ritonavir 1000/100 mg BID (using Invirase® tablets) or lopinavir/ritonavir 400/100 mg BID (using Kaletra® tablets).Eligibility for enrollment will be determined at a screening visit that will occur within 30 days of the baseline visit. Protocol-defined study assessments will take place at clinic visits at the end of Weeks 4, 12, and 24.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or non-pregnant, non-nursing females >18 years of age
  • Seropositive for HIV-1
  • On an antiretroviral combination of Kaletra® with 2 nucleoside/nucleotide analogues for at least 6 months
  • HIV-1 RNA viral load <50 copies/mL (2 consecutive measurements in the prior 6 months) plus screening viral load <50 copies/ml.
  • Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent and adhere to the study regimen
  • Females of childbearing potential must have a documented negative serum or urine pregnancy test at screening/baseline and ensure that 2 reliable forms of contraception are being used, including a barrier method, for the duration of the study and for 90 days after the last dose of study medication

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Documented virological failure on a protease inhibitor ARV regimen prior to commencing Kaletra® regimen
  • Documented protease mutation (one or more from the following list) prior to commencing Kaletra® regimen:
  • M46I/L/V, I47A/V, G48V/M, I50V, F53L/Y, I54L/M/V/A/T/S, V82A/T/S/F/M/L, I84A/V/C, L90M
  • Patients with acute hepatitis B or C infection
  • Females who are pregnant, breast-feeding, or who plan to become pregnant or breast-feed during the study·
  • Significant renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance [CrCl] <60 mL/min) and/or hepatic impairment (aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase [AST/ALT] >3 X ULN and/or documented liver cirrhosis)

Note: The site will calculate each patient's CrCl using the Cockcroft-Gault formula [28] as shown below:

CrCl = [140 - age (yr)] × weight (kg) × constant 72 × serum creatinine (Cr) (mg/dL) where, constant = 1 for men and 0.85 for women

  • Any current known clinical or laboratory parameter of ACTG Grade 4 (see Appendix 4). However, asymptomatic Grade 4 abnormalities will be permitted at the discretion of the investigator if deemed clinically appropriate. Abnormalities deemed insignificant by the investigator must be discussed with the sponsor prior to enrollment.
  • Evidence of active, untreated opportunistic infection, intercurrent illness, drug toxicity or any other condition such that in the judgment of the investigator the patient would not be able to take or continue a prescribed antiretroviral regimen
  • Malignancy requiring chemotherapy or radiotherapy
  • Known hypersensitivity to any of the prescribed antiretroviral drugs or formulation components
  • Evidence of alcohol and/or drug or substance abuse that in the judgment of the investigator would likely result in the patient being unreliable in fulfilling the conditions of the protocol
  • History of psychological illness or conditions that in the judgment of the investigator might interfere with the patient's ability to understand the requirements of the study
  • History of drug non-adherence that in the judgment of the investigator would result in the patient being unreliable in fulfilling the conditions of this protocol
  • Patients who had received an investigational new drug within the last 4 weeks
  • Currently taking, or anticipate taking during the course of the study, any drug contraindicated with the antiretroviral drugs they have been randomized to receive
