BRAVO: Background Regimen of Raltegravir on Virologic Outcome
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Community Research Initiative of New England, October 2008
First Received: September 11, 2008   Last Updated: October 9, 2008   History of Changes
Sponsored by: Community Research Initiative of New England
Information provided by: Community Research Initiative of New England
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00751530
  Purpose

This is a retrospective chart review of participants in raltegravir expanded access program and will compare virologic response in regimens not containing a protease inhibitor in the antiretroviral background regimen to regimens containing a protease inhibitor in the background regimen.


Condition Intervention
HIV Infections
Drug: raltegravir

MedlinePlus related topics: AIDS
Drug Information available for: Raltegravir
U.S. FDA Resources
Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Cohort, Retrospective
Official Title: Outcomes of Early Raltegravir Experience: Comparison of Virologic Response in Regimens Not Containing a Protease Inhibitor in the Antiretroviral Background Regimen Versus a Protease Inhibitor in the Background Regimen

Further study details as provided by Community Research Initiative of New England:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To assess virologic outcomes of raltegravir in conjunction with background antiretroviral (ART) regimens not containing a protease inhibitor (PI).

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To compare outcomes of raltegravir containing ART regimens without a PI to those with a PI.
  • To assess the CD4 cell count response to Raltegravir
  • To assess potential predictors of virologic outcome including, activity of ART in background ART regimen, baseline VL and CD4, number of new ARTs in OBT regimen
  • To study the clinical consequences of raltegravir virologic failure in patients continuing to receive raltegravir, CD4 trajectory following loss of virologic response, viral load trajectory following loss of virologic response

Estimated Enrollment: 400
Groups/Cohorts Assigned Interventions
1 Drug: raltegravir
2

Detailed Description:

EAP charts from patients at the study sites who meet the inclusion criteria will be reviewed and data abstracted. A comparison of the response to treatment by viral load measurement with raltegravir will be compared in patients whose regimens contained a protease inhibitor (PI) with those that did not contain a PI. Other endpoints will also be assessed including percent of patients with viral loads less than 400 copies/ml, less than 50 copies/ ml, CD4 cell changes, consequences of failure of raltegravir and use of predictive parameters such as GSS and PSS.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   16 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Non-Probability Sample
Study Population

The study population consists of individuals who were previously enrolled in raltegravir expanded access program(EAP) and completed at least 8 weeks of treatment with raltegravir, whose chart from EAP program is available for review, and whose resistance testing prior to initiation of raltegravir is available.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients previously enrolled in the MK 0518 EAP are eligible
  • Patients not enrolled in the MK 0518 EAP (or other Raltegravir protocols) but who meet the specific EAP protocol entry criteria are eligible:

    • Age >= 18 years
    • Limited or no treatment options due to resistance or intolerance to multiple antiretroviral regimens, documented resistance to at least one drug in each of the 3 classes of oral ARTs (NRTI, NNRTI, PI) by genotype or phenotype testing, intolerance defined as having had a clinically significant adverse event which in the opinion of the clinician provides a contraindication to the use of any drug in that class iii. Patient did not achieve virologic suppression on ART regimen prior to receipt of raltegravir iv. Patient was clinically stable at time of initiation of raltegravir, eg. clinical status and all chronic medications (except ARTs) unchanged for >= 2 weeks prior to raltegravir receipt.
  • Patient received raltegravir for at least 8 weeks
  • Baseline and week 8 or later HIV viral load done and available for review
  • Resistance test (either genotypic or phenotypic test) available prior to receipt of raltegravir

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient did not receive approved raltegravir dose of 400 mg BID for at least 8 weeks.
  • Patient chart not available for review.
