Raltegravir-based Antiretroviral Therapy for Resistant HIV-1 Infection

Raltegravir-based Antiretroviral Therapy for Resistant HIV-1 Infection in China

This study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RAL-based regimen in treatment-experienced patients with resistant HIV infection

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: AIDS/HIV PROBLEM
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: RAL+TDF+LPV/r; Drug: 3TC+TDF+LPV/r

Detailed Description

In our study, both efficacy and safety of raltegravir(RAL)-based therapy will be assessed. 300 treatment-experienced patients with drug-resistant HIV will be randomized to two arms (2:1). Group A (n=200) will be assigned with RAL-based regimen (RAL+TDF+LPV/r).Group B (n=100) will be assigned with current second-line regimen in China (3TC+TDF+LPV/r). Both virological and immunological profiles and responses at baseline and at week 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 48 will be evaluated. This study will be the first large-scale, multicenter, randomized, prospective RAL-based therapy study in China for HIV/AIDs patients. The result will provide proves for further practical antiviral therapy for China or other resource-limiting countries.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age between 18-65 years
2. HIV seropositive and confirmed by western blot

3. have taken first line antiretroviral therapy for over one year and have any one of the criteria listed below (viral load of all the patients meeting these criteria should be confirmed at PUMCH laboratory)

• Previous use of integrase inhibitors
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding
• poor compliance and drug interaction,
• opportunistic infections or malignancy at recruitment; or opportunistic infections within three months but still unstable within 14 days prior to recruitment
• HBsAg positive
• patients with the any of the following test results during screening for inclusion: WBC count<2000/μl, neutrophil count<1000/μl, Hb<9g/dl, platelet count<75000/μl, serum creatinine>1.5 ULN, transaminases or alkaline phosphatase >3 ULN, total bilirubin>2 ULN, serum creatinine kinase>2 ULN
