Pilot Simplification Study to Lopinavir/Ritonavir 800/200 mg Monotherapy Regimen Once Daily

October 5, 2016 updated by: Daniel Podzamczer
Lopinavir/ritonavir monotherapy is currently a well known and widely used strategy, while Lopinavir/ritonavir 800/200 mg once a day in a triple-therapy was approved a few years ago. The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Lopinavir/ritonavir 800/200 mg monotherapy once a day.

Study Overview

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

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.

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
plasma viral load <40 copies/mL
Time Frame: Week 48
HIV Plasma Viral Load <40 copies/ml at week 48.
Week 48

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.
