  Purpose

There are no data on efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of ATV/r-based HAART in HIV-infected Asian children. Therefore, the investigators aim to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of ATV/r-based HAART in Thai HIV-infected children.


Condition Intervention Phase
HIV
 Drug: boosted atazanavir (ATV/r)
 Phase 2

Study Type: Interventional

Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • pharmacokinetics of atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV/r) [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Ctrough and Area under the curve (AUC) of atazanavir (ATV) and ritonavir (RTV) will be assessed


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • CD4 [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Assess CD percent and count at week 48

  • plasma viral load (HIV RNA) [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    assess HIV RNA at week 24 and 48

  • hyperbilirubin [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    evaluate total and direct bilirubin at weeks 24 and 48


Estimated Enrollment: 20
Study Start Date: July 2011
Estimated Study Completion Date: February 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: February 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: PI-experience group
Using PI-based HAART for ≥6 months at the screening visit HIV-RNA viral load < 50 copies/ml at the screening visit No history of HIV-RNA ≥ 1,000 copies/ml while using PI-based HAART
 Drug: boosted atazanavir (ATV/r)
ATV/r will be taken orally once daily with food plus standard dose of 2 NRTIs according to Thai National HIV treatment guideline
Experimental: PI-naïve group
Never been exposed to any PI-containing regimen HIV-RNA viral load ≥ 1,000 copies/ml at the screening visit
 Drug: boosted atazanavir (ATV/r)
ATV/r will be taken orally once daily with food plus standard dose of 2 NRTIs according to Thai National HIV treatment guideline

Detailed Description:

Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based HAART have been commonly prescribed as the first-line HAART for HIV-infected children in resource-limited settings. Protease inhibitor (PI)-based HAART are the recommended second-line regimen after failing NNRTI-based HAART. The most commonly used PI in Thailand is lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r). However, the metabolic complications of lopinavir/ritonaive (LPV/r) such as hyperlipidemia and lipodyrtrophy are common and a concern for HIV-infected children as it may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease in the longer term. There are data on efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of ATV/r-based HAART in HIV-infected adults but none in children. Furthermore, many studies in both adults and children have shown that different ethnicities can result in different pharmacokinetic response to antiretroviral drugs. As a result of this, this study investigated the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of ATV/r-based HAART in HIV-infected Asian children.
