Pilot Study of Maraviroc/Raltegravir for Naive HIV-1 Patients (NNNB)

Phase II Pilot Study of Simplification to Maraviroc - Raltegravir Dual Therapy After 6 Months of Maraviroc - Raltegravir - Tenofovir - Emtricitabine Quadruple Therapy in ARV Treatment-naive, HIV-1-infected Patients With CCR5- Virus

Background and Rationale

Raltegravir and Maraviroc, the first in class of 2 new families of antiretroviral drugs have demonstrated a high potency in treatment experienced and naive patients. Both drugs appeared well tolerated with low metabolic toxicity. No data are currently available concerning the combination of these 2 drugs.

Hypothesis

Maraviroc + Raltegravir should be potent enough to maintain virological efficacy in naive patients infected by CCR5 HIV-1 previously treated for 6 months with a Maraviroc-Raltegravir-Tenofovir-Emtricitabine combination.

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: HIV
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: MVC/RAL/FTC/TDF followed by Maraviroc/Raltegravir

Detailed Description

Objectives:

• To establish the ability of a Maraviroc-Raltegravir combination to maintain HIV-1 viral load < 50 copies/ml at week 48 in naive patients infected by CCR5 HIV-1, following an initial 6 month phase of Maraviroc-Raltegravir-Tenofovir-Emtricitabine combination (Intent to treat and strategy analysis)
• To study CD4 progression from baseline to week 48
• To study the time to virological failure during the simplification phase of the study (from week 24 to week 48)
• To study the proportion of patients with HIV RNA < 50 copies/ml at each time point
• To study the kinetics of viral load decrease from baseline to week 12
• To study the kinetics of proviral DNA decrease from baseline to week 12, 24, 36 and 48
• To study the clinical and biological tolerance of Maraviroc-Raltegravir combination through week 48
