Brief summary

A switch to a regimen consisting of ATV/RTV 300/100 mg QD + 3TC 300 mg QD in HIV-1 infected subjects in their first antiretroviral regimen and who are virologically suppressed on a regimen which consists of 2 NRTIs + any 3rd agent, is non-inferior to continue or switch to ATV/RTV 300/100 mg QD + 2 optimized NRTIs for maintenance of virological suppression.

Detailed description

Clinical Trial, phase IV, randomized, open label, multicenter with approved drugs in their use conditions. A switch to a regimen consisting of ATV/RTV 300/100 mg QD + 3TC 300 mg QD in HIV-1 infected subjects in their first antiretroviral regimen and who are virologically suppressed on a regimen which consists of 2 NRTIs + any 3rd agent, is non-inferior to continue or switch to ATV/RTV 300/100 mg QD + 2 optimized NRTIs for maintenance of virological suppression.

Interventions

DRUGRitonavir boosted Atazanavir + Lamivudine

ATV/RTV 300/100 mg QD + 2 optimized NRTIs for the first 4 weeks and then they will receive ATV/RTV 300/100 mg QD (once daily) and 3TC 300 mg QD for another 92 weeks. Treatment should be taken orally with a light meal at the same time each day.

DRUGRitonavir boosted Atazanavir + 2 NRTIs

ATV/RTV 300/100 mg QD + 2 optimized NRTIs for 96 weeks. Treatment should be taken orally with a light meal at the same time each day.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To assess the non-inferiority of maintenance therapy with ATV/RTV + 3TC vs ATV/RTV + 2 optimized NRTIsWeek 48Non-inferiority will be considered when the difference in proportion of efficacy between experimental arm (ATV/RTV + 3TC) vs. control arm (ATV/RTV + 2 optimized NRTIs) arm is less or equal to -0.12% after 48 weeks of treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To assess the non-inferiority of maintenance therapy with ATV/RTV + 3TC vs ATV/RTV + 2 optimized NRTIsweek 24Non-inferiority will be considered when the difference in proportion of efficacy between experimental arm (ATV/RTV + 3TC) vs. control arm (ATV/RTV + 2 optimized NRTIs) arm is less or equal to -0.12% after 24 weeks of treatment
To assess safety after 24 weeks fo treatmentWeek 24Frequency of adverse events, SAEs, AEs leading to discontinuations, death and laboratory abnormalities. Describe renal function, plasma Vitamin D and bone density changes (DEXA) from baseline and particularly in those patients receiving TDF at screening.
To assess neurocognitive function evolutionWeek 48Nerocognitive function evolution measured through a battery of standardized tests from baseline to week 48
To assess safety after 96 weeks fo treatmentWeek 96Frequency of adverse events, SAEs, AEs leading to discontinuations, death and laboratory abnormalities. Describe renal function, plasma Vitamin D and bone density changes (DEXA) from baseline and particularly in those patients receiving TDF at screening.
To assess the incidence of resistance, and characterization of this resistance following a virological reboundWeek 96Genotypic antiretroviral resistance profiles of subjects experiencing virologic failure (genotype) Plasma samples at Baseline and at each visit will be stored for additional resistance studies (i.e. cDNA)
To assess safety after 48 weeks fo treatmentWeek 48Frequency of adverse events, SAEs, AEs leading to discontinuations, death and laboratory abnormalities. Describe renal function, plasma Vitamin D and bone density changes (DEXA) from baseline and particularly in those patients receiving TDF at screening.
