Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine if treatment with B vitamins effect the rate of neuronal damage measured by plasma NFL in HIV-infected individuals;Secondary Objective: Effect on neurocognitive performance Effect on homocysteine levels ;Primary end point(s): Changes in P-NFL levels in the Triobe-arm compared to controls from baseline to 12 months;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1, 3, 6 and 12 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months and 24 months;Secondary end point(s): 1. Changes in neuropsychological assessment measured by Cogstate compared to controls after 12 months 2. Changes in P-NFL and Cogstate levels from baseline after 24 months of Triobe treatment 3. Assessing relationship between P-homocysteine levels and P-NFL at baseline (all screened subjects included in this analysis, also those with P homocysteine < 12). 4. Changes in P-NFL and Cogstate in the period between 12 and 24 months compared with the period between 0 and 12 months in the control group, i.e. during the period on compared to off Triobe treatment in the control group.
