Pharmacokinetics of Atazanavir /Dolutegravir/Lamivudine Regimen as Maintenance Regimen

• Status: Terminated
• Trial end date: 2016-12-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

During the past years the treatment of HIV-1 infection has transformed towards chronic treatment. Patients are being treated with antiretroviral drugs for many years and become older. The risk of developing side-effects due to long term antiretroviral therapy is therefore more and more likely. New alternative once-daily maintenance regimes are needed for those who are extensively pre-treated and experience side-effects or toxicity on standard treatment combinations. A possible once-daily, fully active maintenance regimen is the combination of atazanavir (unboosted), dolutegravir and lamivudine (PRADAII regimen). This combination is expected to be a safe, once-daily maintenance regimen with a favorable side-effect profile. The combination suits patients with intolerance and/or resistance to NRTIs, NNRTIs and ritonavir, who have a suppressed viral load. However, for this new combination the pharmacokinetic profile is unknown and there are no data on short-term and long-term safety and efficacy. This study wille therefore asses the pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy in a small number of HIV-1 infected patients.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• HIV-infected as documented by positive HIV antibody test and confirmed by Western Blot.

• Subject is in need for a switch in maintenance regimen due to adverse effects, toxicities, simplification and/or resistance.

• Subject is at least 18 years of age at the day of screening.

• Subject is able and willing to sign the Informed Consent Form prior to screening evaluations.

• HIV-1 RNA < 40 copies/mL for at least 6 months on antiretroviral therapy prior to inclusion.
