Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate if the switch from TDF / FTC / EFV to TDF / FTC / RPV is associated with an improvement in neurocognitive performance or neuropsychological wellness;Secondary Objective: - To evaluate if the switch to TDF / FTC / RPV is associated with a rate of HIV virologic suppression comparable to that obtained with regimen containing EFV. - To evaluate if the switch from TDF / FTC / EFV to TDF / FTC / RPV is associated with an improvement in fasting lipid parameters. - To evaluate if the switch from TDF / FTC / EFV to TDF / FTC / RPV is associated with an improvement in the quality of life perceived by patients. - To evaluate if the switch from TDF / FTC / EFV to TDF / FTC / RPV is associated with an improvement in subjective CNS disorders. - Measure the proportion of patients who, in the course of a stable regimen containing EFV, present: • mild EFV-associated CNS side effects, • mild or asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment;Primary end point(s): - Proportion of patients with an improvement in neurocognitive performance in one of the investigated domains, evaluated in binary form (Normal / Abnormal) or on a continuous scale (absolute change in deficit score) - Proportion of patients with an improvement in the scores of depression, anxiety or sleep quality, measured in binary (Yes / No) and on a continuous scale - Proportion of patients with an improvement in any of the two previous binary end-point (composite end point);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 28 WEEKS | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Symptomatic, neuropsychological or neurcognitive end-points • Variation in scores of quality of life • Proportion of patients with an improvement in CNS symptoms • Proportion of patients with an improvement in the CFQ - Virological end-points • Proportion of patients with HIV-RNA 50 copies /ml results in two consecutive determinations, distant at least 4 weeks apart • Number of patients with genotypic resistance at failure - Immunological end-points • Modification from baseline of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells at weeks at 12 and 24 - Safety and tolerability end-points • Proportion of patients who discontinue treatment because of intolerance to study drugs or due to the development of adverse events • Proportion of patients who develop an adverse event of grade III or IV;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 28 WEEKS | — |
