Brief summary

The MONOD trial aim to evaluate the implementation of early antiretroviral treatment strategies in HIV-infected infants and assess the feasibility and efficacy of simplifying the initial proposed regimen after a successful one year treatment. The initial treatment is AZT-3TC-LPV/r twice a day. After one year, the children will be randomized in one of the following : arm 1-reference AZT-3TC-LPV/r twice daily; arm 2-simplified ABC-3TC-EFV once daily. The perspective of this project is to identify antiretroviral strategies to improve treatment access and adherence for children in sub-saharian Africa.

Interventions

DRUGAZT-3TC-LPV/r twice a day

AZT sirup (10mg/ml): 4 mg/kg or 180 mg/m2 twice daily 3TC sirup (10mg/ml): 4 mg/kg twice daily LPV/r sirup (80/20 mg/ml): 12 mg/kg twice daily

DRUGABC-3TC-EFV once a day

ABC sirup (20mg/ml): 16 mg/kg once daily in the morning 3TC sirup (10mg/ml): 8 mg/kg once daily in the morning EFV sirup (30mg/ml): 25 mg/kg once daily in the morning before food intake

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Initial therapeutic cohort: Virological success12 monthssurvival without virological failure (death or loss of follow-up or virologic failure, i.e. HIV-ARN ≥400 copies/mL on one consecutive sample), analysis of resistance profile.
Randomised simplification phase: Virological success25 monthssurvival without virological failure (death or loss of follow-up or virologic failure (HIV-ARN ≥400 copies/mL ))from M13 to M25.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Virological success12 monthsHIV RNA \< 400 copies / mL
Immunological response12 and 25 monthsCD4+ lymphocyte absolute count and percentage
Adherence12 and 25 monthsmeasurement at each protocol visit of the three last days treatment intake to be corelated to the antiretroviral concentration and virological success
Tolerance12 and 25 monthoccurence of grade 3 and 4 adverse events related to the trial treatment, particularly occurence of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome
Antiretroviral and cotrimoxazol pharmacokinetic parameters6, 19 and 25 monthsThe following parameters will be measured or calculated: maximal and minimal concentration (Cmax, Cmin), half life (t1/2), Aire Under the Curve (AUC), clearance and volume of distribution, for all antiretroviral (according to treatment arm : AZT, 3TC, LPV, ABC, EFV) and cotimoxazol.
Resistance to antiretroviral12 and 25 monthsGenotyping to analyse resistance mutation when virological failure
