Study on the Usage, Dosing, Tolerability, and Effectiveness of Kaletra Tablet

May 18, 2017 updated by: AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott)

Use of KALETRA® Tablets in Adult HIV-infected Patients: Data From the Multicenter Star/Stella Cohort

The objective of this study is to observe and collect data on the usage, dosing, tolerability, and effectiveness of Kaletra (lopinavir/ritonavir) tablets in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. In some patients, the study is to show the impact on tolerability of changing therapy to Kaletra tablets from other regimens.

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 to 99 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

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.
HIV-infected Participants

HIV-infected participants starting with Kaletra tablets.

Participants included 3 subgroups:

  • antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment-naïve participants starting with Kaletra tablets
  • participants receiving their first protease inhibitor (PI)-containing regimen (apart from Kaletra) pretreated with any non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-containing or nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI)-containing regimen
  • participants pretreated with a PI-containing regimen (apart from Kaletra).

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
Change From Baseline in Absolute Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) Cell Count
Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 144
Changes in participants' CD4 cell counts were assessed by measuring the change from Baseline in the number of CD4 cells at scheduled visits planned as part of routine care.
Baseline (Week 0) to Week 144
Change From Baseline in HIV-1 Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Viral Load
Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 144
Changes in participants' HIV-1 RNA viral load were assessed by measuring the change from Baseline at scheduled visits planned as part of routine care.
Baseline (Week 0) to Week 144

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Prevalence of Adverse Events (Weeks 0-144), Per Event
Time Frame: Weeks 0 to 144
Percentage of overall number of adverse events experienced during Weeks 0-144 by adverse event type. Doctors asked participants for adverse events, grouped them into categories given in the electronic case report form (eCRF). The list of adverse events included in the eCRF were hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, low high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, high low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, hyperglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST), elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT), elevated gamma glutamyl transferase (γGT), elevated alkaline phosphatase, stomatitis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, mood disorder, neurocerebellar disorder, neurocontrol disorder, headache, fatigue, fever, other (listed as 'not specified').
Weeks 0 to 144
Prevalence of Adverse Events (Weeks 0-144), Per Participant
Time Frame: Weeks 0 to 144
Percentage of participants who experienced at least 1 adverse event during Weeks 0-144 by adverse event type. Doctors asked participants for adverse events, grouped them into categories given in the eCRF. The list of adverse events included in the eCRF were hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, low HDL cholesterol, high LDL cholesterol, hyperglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, elevated AST, elevated ALT, elevated γGT, elevated alkaline phosphatase, stomatitis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, mood disorder, neurocerebellar disorder, neurocontrol disorder, headache, fatigue, fever, other (listed as 'not specified').

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.
