Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Brief summary

A 48-week, open label, non comparative prospective trial in stable chronic human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients having achieved complete virological suppression for more than 24 weeks (human immunodeficiency virus-1 RNA \<50 c/ml) switching from an antiretroviral regimen containing tenofovir and lamivudine or emtricitabine and boosted protease inhibitor to boosted atazanavir and lamivudine Study visits will take place at screening, baseline, weeks 4, 12, 24, and 48.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Participants were recruited at a single center (Infectious Diseases Department, Hospital Clínic, University of Barcelona) between November 2015 and November 2017. Recruitment targeted virologically suppressed HIV-infected adults with osteopenia receiving tenofovir-based ART.

Pre-assignment details

Of the 60 individuals screened, 29 were excluded prior to assignment due to normal bone mineral density, prior virological failure, hypogonadism, or contraindicated medications. A total of 31 participants were enrolled and switched to the study regimen.
