Effectiveness of the Early Addition of Abacavir to an Anti-HIV Drug Combination
A Pilot Study of Early Treatment Intensification of Antiretroviral Therapy
The purpose of this study is to see if adding 1 drug to an anti-HIV drug combination early in treatment against HIV can lower the viral load (amount of HIV in the blood) to a level so low that it cannot be measured (undetectable). The drug that will be added to a treatment is abacavir (ABC).
Many patients who take 3 anti-HIV drugs together are able to achieve very low viral loads, for example, viral loads below 50 copies/ml. However, some patients taking only 3 drugs are not able to achieve a viral load this low. Doctors hope that, by adding the drug ABC to a current treatment, a viral load below 50 copies/ml can be achieved. Doctors would like to find out if it is effective to start patients on 3 drugs and then add another drug (treatment intensification) if the treatment is not working as well as hoped.

Szczegółowy opis
Combination antiretroviral therapy can offer patients potent suppression of HIV replication and improved immunologic functioning. However, despite aggressive antiretroviral regimens currently in use, only about 50 to 60 percent of patients attain plasma viral loads below 50 copies/ml after 24 weeks. Initiating treatment with a 4-drug regimen may increase this percentage, but this may also contribute to patient non-adherence, drug-related toxicities, potential cross-resistance to drugs used in future regimens, and high financial costs. Another strategy is early intensification (adding a single drug to an existing regimen) in patients who are at risk for attaining incomplete viral suppression after 24 weeks of therapy. ABC may produce a significant antiviral effect when used as an intensification agent in patients on a stable antiretroviral regimen. The results of this study will offer insight into the potential benefits of early treatment intensification.
Patients entering this study will have initiated potent antiretroviral therapy. Between 60 and 90 days [AS PER AMENDMENT 1/9/01: 60 and 104 days] after beginning their background regimen, patients are randomized to add either ABC (Arm A) or a matching placebo (Arm B) for 12 weeks. Patients completing 12 weeks of treatment continue on study for an additional 24 weeks to Week 36. Patients discontinue treatment if virologic failure occurs at any time. Patients still return to the clinic for HIV-1 RNA measurements at Weeks 12 and 36, depending on when discontinuation occurred. Patients who discontinue treatment at or after Week 12 due to virologic failure are offered open-label ABC for the remainder of the study (through Week 36). Blood samples are collected at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 20, 28, and 36. Plasma samples for population sequencing of HIV-1 PR and RT genes are collected on all patients at study entry and at the time of virologic failure. Baseline genotype (presence or absence of PR and RT resistance mutations and number of resistance mutations) is correlated to treatment outcome. Samples from the time of failure are analyzed for the accumulation of additional resistance mutations. [AS PER AMENDMENT 5/5/00: Patients and their primary care physicians will be unblinded to the patient's treatment after the study is completed at Week 36 or if virologic failure occurs at or after Week 12 [AS PER AMENDMENT 1/9/01: or if ABC hypersensitivity is suspected].]
