Detailed Description

Fixed dose combination of d4T+3TC+NVP (GPOvir) is widely used in Thai HIV infected since June 2002. The prevalence of NNRTI resistance has increased since 2005. Tuberculosis can develop following NNRTI-based regimen failure or after introduction of a new salvage regimen with a boosted PI (immune recovery syndrome). Although, Efavirenz based HAART is preferred in TB/HIV with rifampicin containing antituberculosis. However, Efavirenz could not be used in case of NNRTI failure, intolerance or toxicity. It remains unknown how to optimally treat HIV /TB in populations in which rifampicin has to be used. Moreover, Rifabutin which is recommended when use concomitant with boosted PI4, 5, is not feasible in Thailand and other developing countries due to cost, toxicity and dosing considerations. If ritonavir-boosted LPV demonstrates suitable pharmacokinetics, and is well tolerated, this regimen might prove extremely useful and could be widely implemented. LPV/r is potent and widely available boosted PI in National Health System in Thailand. We therefore believe that there is a strong rationale and impetus for the study of LPV/r 400/100 mg bid versus LPV/r 600/150 mg bid as a boosted-PI combination that in the presence of RMP, is able to produce a satisfactory PK profile associated with adequate antiretroviral potency, tolerability and efficacy .

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
