A Phase II/III Trial of Lopinavir/Ritonavir Dosed According to the WHO Pediatric Weight Band Dosing Guidelines
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Because of previous exposure to nevirapine or other non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), either by direct treatment or through their mothers in pregnancy, infants must often receive an alternate antiretroviral regimen that includes LPV/r. Dosing of LPV/r is currently based on a child's specific weight, and calculations of proper dosages are often too complicated to be practical in busy clinics, particularly those in limited resource settings. In order to simplify medication delivery and reduce prescribing errors, the WHO has released a dosing schedule for LPV/r based on groupings of infants and children by weight. This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerance of LPV/r dosed according to these guidelines. The following strata were used to guide accrual:
Number of Participants to be Enrolled by Weight Band:
3-4.9 kg: 11 liquid
5-6.9 kg: 11 liquid
7-9.9 kg: 17 liquid
10-16.9 kg: 11 liquid, 22 tablet
17-19.9 kg: 11 tablet
20-24.9 kg: 11 tablet
Participation in this study will last 6 months. Infant participants and their caretakers will need to attend study visits at entry and Weeks 2, 4, 12, and 24. At entry, participants will be given LPV/r either in liquid or tablet form, depending on whether they can swallow pills. Dosing will be calculated using the WHO schedule. At all study visits, participants will undergo a physical exam and caretakers will be asked about how well the child is taking the study medications. In addition, at Weeks 4, 12, and 24, blood samples will be taken from the participant to determine health and levels of the medication in the body. The visit on Week 4 will also require pharmacokinetic testing, which means the child will need to be monitored at the hospital for 12 hours and complete six additional blood drawls. All other study visits will last 1 to 2 hours.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:

- Clinical condition requiring the use of a prohibited medication (see protocol for more details)
- Clinically unstable child requiring acute treatment for a serious opportunistic infection
- Chemotherapy for active malignancy
- Any clinically significant diseases (other than HIV-1 infection) or clinically significant findings during the screening medical history or physical examination that, in the investigator's opinion, would compromise participation in this study
