The RESPOND Outcomes Study

April 10, 2024 updated by: Jens D Lundgren, MD, Rigshospitalet, Denmark

The RESPOND Outcomes Study - A Study in the RESPOND Consortium (RESPOND: International Cohort Consortium of Infectious Diseases)

The RESPOND Outcomes study is a research study around use of antiretroviral and other relevant drugs and long-term clinical outcomes in patients living with HIV. Data collected in this study will be used to answer key unanswered questions regarding treatment of people living with HIV.

Detailed Description

The specific objectives, falling into three main categories, are as follows:

  1. Monitor the uptake of newer antiretroviral treatment (ART) drugs and drugs for treatment of co-infections and co-morbidities;
  2. To evaluate the safety profiles of the newer individual ART drugs when used in routine clinical practice as part of either first-line or subsequent treatment regimens.
  3. Investigate long term outcomes and clinical disease progression overall and in specific sub-groups

The Outcomes study is a collaboration between investigators from clinics and cohorts across Europe, Australia and South America with a willingness to share data and to use a common follow-up schedule and assessment. Participating sites have a commitment to continue to follow this large cohort that is heterogeneous in both its demographic profile and in ART prescribing patterns thus resulting in enough power to answer many key clinical questions.

The Outcomes study is a study in the RESPOND International Cohort Consortium of Infectious Diseases. RESPOND is an innovative, flexible and dynamic cohort consortium for the study of infectious diseases, including HIV, built as a generic structure for facilitating multi stakeholder involvement. In RESPOND all collected data is part of a common data repository or 'data lake', which is stored in a database located at CHIP, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark. Data collection in RESPOND is modular with a core data collection module onto which additional modules/studies can be added. Pseudonymised patient data can be entered manually via an online secure platform or be electronically transferred from existing local, regional or national data structures to the data lake.

In the Outcomes study data will be collected at enrolment and at annual follow-up (FU) visits. For patients living with HIV-1 enrolled and under FU, demographic, laboratory, therapeutic and clinical data on HIV and viral hepatitis will be collected once a year. Clinical event data (except AIDS other than AIDS defining malignancies) will be collected in real-time on RESPOND event forms.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Signed Informed consent for the Outcomes study, if required by local/national legislation
  2. Signed informed consent for the RESPOND consortium and data repository, if required by local/national legislation
  3. Age ≥ 18 years of age

Persons receiving integrase inhibitor (INSTI) based antiretroviral therapy if have started after the later of 1/1/2012 and local cohort enrolment (i.e., during prospective follow-up in the cohort and after 1/1/2012) and have a CD4 and HIV viral load in the 12 months prior to starting INSTI or within 3 months after starting INSTI.
  6. ART experienced and ART naïve persons not receiving INSTI if have a CD4 and HIV viral load in the 12 months prior to baseline or within 3 months after baseline (here, the latest of 1/1/2012 or cohort enrolment).
  7. Persons lost to follow-up or who died before RESPOND enrolment should therefore still be included in the Outcomes study, provided they satisfy the other inclusion criteria.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Persons receiving INSTI before 1/1/2012 are excluded from the Outcome study
  2. Persons aged < 18 at baseline are excluded from the Outcome study
