Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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.

Study Type

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)

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
Antiretroviral combination therapy including raltegravir
Participants received ARV combination treatment including raltegravir. Treatment of participants was at the discretion of the investigator who provided standard care in a real life setting.
Drug: Raltegravir
Raltegravir was administered in combination with ARV therapies at the discretion of the investigator in accordance with the product label. The recommended dose of raltegravir is 400 mg twice daily.
Other Names:
  • Isentress
Drug: ARV (non-raltegravir)
ARV treatments were administered in combination with raltegravir at the discretion of the investigator in accordance with the product labels, and could include nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor, non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor, protease inhibitor, entry inhibitor, and integrase inhibitor catagories.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Receiving Antiretroviral Treatments Administered With Raltegravir
Time Frame: Up to 25 months after start of raltegravir treatment
Participants received ARV combination treatment including raltegravir. Treatment of participants was at the discretion of the investigator who provided standard care in a real life setting. ARV treatments included any nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), combination of tenovir/emitricitabine (FTC/TDF), combination of lamivudine/abacavir (3TC/ABC), protease inhibitors, and others.
Up to 25 months after start of raltegravir treatment
Percentage of Participants Responding to Treatment: All Treated Participants
Time Frame: 24 months after start of raltegravir treatment
Response to treatment was defined as a viral load <50 RNA copies/mL
24 months after start of raltegravir treatment
Percentage of Participants Responding to Treatment: Participants Still Receiving Raltegravir Treatment at Month 24
Time Frame: 24 months after start of raltegravir treatment
Response to treatment was defined as a viral load <50 RNA copies/mL
24 months after start of raltegravir treatment
Mean Change From Baseline in Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) Cell Count: All Treated Participants
Time Frame: Baseline and 24 months after start of raltegravir treatment
Baseline and 24 months after start of raltegravir treatment
Mean Change From Baseline in CD4 Cell Count: Participants Still Receiving Raltegravir Treatment at Month 24
Time Frame: Baseline and 24 months after start of raltegravir treatment
Baseline and 24 months after start of raltegravir 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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event
Time Frame: Up to 25 months after start of raltegravir treatment
An adverse event was defined as any untoward, undesired, or unplanned clinical event in the form of physical signs, symptoms, disease, laboratory or physiological observations in a participant administered the sponsor's product whether or not related to the use of the product.
Up to 25 months after start of raltegravir treatment

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 1, 2010

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
