Clinical Trial to Assess the Effect of the Change of Efavirenz (EFV) for Lopinavir/Ritonavir (LPV/r) in Lipoatrophy in HIV-infected Patients (LIPOKAL)

September 17, 2014 updated by: Juan A. Arnaiz

CT to Assess the Effect on the Subcutaneous Fat of Change of EFV for LPV/r in HIV-infected Patients Who Developed Lipoatrophy and Remains Despite Treatment With Efavirenz and Fixed-dose Combination of no Thymidine Nucleoside Analogues.

Eligible HIV-infected patients with clinically evident lipoatrophy despite treatment with efavirenz and fixed-dose combination of thymidine nucleoside analogues will be informed and asked to enroll in the study; will be randomized (1:1) into two branches, A: EFV + Fixed combinations of analogue tenofovir + emtricitabine.B (experimental): LPV/r + combination of correspondent analogues. The main variable is the evaluation of the absolute change in limb fat mass at 24 months from baseline in both groups.
