Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The change in neurocognitive function in patients randomized to a less neurotoxic regimen (maraviroc, emtricitbaine, darunavir);Secondary Objective: The change in surrogate markers of cerebral function (MRI with resting state fMRI, EEG, lumbar puncture) in patients randomized to a less neurotoxic regimen (maraviroc, emtricitbaine, darunavir); The correlation of such effect to plasma and CSF concentrations of antiretorvirals.;Primary end point(s): 6-month variation in global deficit score in NPZ-8 complete neurocognitive tests according to the study arm;;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): change in neuronal integrity, perfusion and connectivity using MRI and resting state fMRI in the two arms; change in EEG waves using a EEG with LIORETA software in the two arms; change in CSF HIV RNA in the two arms; change in CSF biomarkers (neuronal damage, immune activation and astrocytosis) in the two arms; change in intima media thickness in the two arms; change in serum TMA/TMAO in thw two arms; Association of changes in primary and secondary endpoints with plasma and CSF concentrations of antiretrovirals;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months; 6 months; 6 months; 6 months; 6 months; 6 months; 6 months | — |
