SCOPE: Observational Study of the Consequences of the Protease Inhibitor Era

This study is currently recruiting participants.

Verified by University of California, San Francisco, May 2008

Sponsors and Collaborators:	University of California, San Francisco National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Information provided by:	University of California, San Francisco
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00187512

Purpose

SCOPE is an observational, prospective study of HIV-1 infected volunteers designed to provide a specimen bank of samples with carefully characterized clinical data. SCOPE specimens will be used to examine multiple questions involving virologic, immunologic, and host factors involved in HIV-1 infection, progression, non-progression, response to treatment, control of HIV-1 virus, and evolution of drug resistance.

Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA

Biospecimen Description:

Plasma, serum, PMBCs, saliva

Estimated Enrollment:	2000
Study Start Date:	March 2000

Detailed Description:

SCOPE is an observational, prospective study of HIV-1 infected volunteers designed to provide a specimen bank of samples with carefully characterized clinical data. Samples from SCOPE will be used to examine:

Virologic, immunologic, and host factors involved in the natural control of HIV-1 infection (long term non-progression and/or virologic control of HIV-1 without antiretroviral therapy)
Virologic and immune correlates associated with disease progression
Evolution of antiretroviral drug resistance
Factors associated with transmission or acquisition of HIV infection

Enrolled subjects are seen at San Francisco General Hospital every four months for a detailed interview, saliva collection, and blood draw. Baseline visits take approximately one hour, follow up visits take approximately 20-40 minutes. No personal identifiers are used for specimen bank samples.

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:	Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No
Sampling Method:	Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study is open to eligible subjects who are able to perform study visits at San Francisco General Hospital or the San Francisco VA Medical Center.

Inclusion Criteria:

SCOPE is currently recruiting HIV-1 infected subjects with any of the following criteria:

Documented HIV viral load less than 2000 copies/ml WITHOUT taking antiretroviral therapy
Detectable HIV viral load while taking an integrase inhibitor (raltegravir/ Isentress, elvitegravir) based regimen.
Detectable HIV viral load while taking a CCR5 inhibitor (maraviroc/ Selzentry, vicriviroc) based regimen.
Undetectable HIV viral load with CD4 T-cells consistently less than 350 for the last 12 months while taking a stable antiretroviral regimen.

Exclusion Criteria:

Active opportunistic infection or systemic treatment for opportunistic infection within the last 4 months (oral candidiasis acceptable)
Active treatment for cancer
Active treatment for hepatitis C requiring interferon based therapy
Immunosuppressive therapy taken within the last 4 months
