February 5, 2016 updated by: Simona Di Giambenedetto, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart

Switch to Darunavir/r + Maraviroc QD in Patients With R5 Tropism by Viral DNA Genotyping With Suppressed Viremia (GUSTA): a Multicenter, Open-label, Randomized Controlled Trial

Objectives of the study:

  1. To verify the safety and the efficacy of the study treatment, defined as the persistent control of the virus' replication at 48 weeks after the simplification to maraviroc + darunavir with ritonavir in patients with R5 tropism by viral DNA genotyping.
  2. To collect relevant information about the safety, the immunologic and the economic impact of this strategy.

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

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
proportion of patients with virological failure (two consecutive measures of HIV-RNA higher than 50 copies/mL or a single measure higher than 1000 copies/mL) within 48 weeks at per protocol analysis, with switch=failure

48 weeks

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.
