Brief summary

Pilot study to evaluate the impact of extremely early ART in the dynamics of viral reservoir, immune activation and inflammation in patients with HIV-1 infection of less than 20 days (Fiebig stages I-II) compared to patients with infection of 20-100 days (Fiebig stages III-V), to induce HIV functional cure.

Interventions

DRUGAntiretroviral Therapy (Experimental)

1. Initial ART until HLA-B5701 results became available (48 hours): 1. Tenofovir 245 mg once a day 2. Emtricitabine 200 mg once a day 3. Dolutegravir 50 mg once a day 4. Darunavir 800 mg once a day 5. Ritonavir 100 mg once a day 6. Maraviroc 150 mg twice a day 2. Three months continuation treatment (after HLA-B5701 confirmed as negative): 1. Dolutegravir 50 mg once a day. 2. Abacavir 600 mg once a day 3. Lamivudine 300 mg once a day 4. Darunavir 800 mg once a day 5. Ritonavir 100 mg once a day 6. Maraviroc 150 mg twice a day The whole treatment schedule comprises 7 pills per day (in a single dose), except for maraviroc, which will be given twice daily. 3. Nine months continuation treatment (till complete 12 months treatment): 1. Abacavir, 600mg once a day 2. Lamivudine, 300 mg once a day 3. Dolutegravir, 50 mg once a day

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Functional cure (Proportion of patients with undetectable viral reservoir)12 months of treatmentProportion of patients in both groups with undetectable viral reservoir in peripheral and rectal tissue CD4+ T cells. A viral load will be performed at 1, 3 and 12 months after ART initiation and in rectal tissue at one year post-ART initiation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of patients with undetectable plasmatic HIV viral load1, 3 and 12 months post-stop antiretroviral treatment will be evaluated.In those patients with undetectable viral reservoir stopping antiretroviral treatment at 12 months
Level of reduction of viral reservoir among patients treated in phase I-II Fiebig and patients treated in Fiebig stage III-V1, 3, 12 months will be measured in patients on antiretroviral treatment and at 1, 3, 12 months post-stop
Level of reduction of bacterial translocation among patients treated in phase I-II Fiebig and patients treated in Fiebig stage III-V1, 3, 12 months will be measured in patients on antiretroviral treatment and at 1, 3, 12 months post-stop
Level of reduction of immune activation among patients treated in phase I-II Fiebig and patients treated in Fiebig stage III-V1, 3, 12 months will be measured in patients on antiretroviral treatment and at 1, 3, 12 months post-stop
Level of reduction of inflammation among patients treated in phase I-II Fiebig and patients treated in Fiebig stage III-V1, 3, 12 months will be measured in patients on antiretroviral treatment and at 1, 3, 12 months post-stop
