Purpose
This is a phase IV, multicenter, prospective, randomised, crossover, double blind, placebo-controlled and proof of concept clinical trial.
All subjects fulfilling inclusion criteria will be randomised to add either TDF/FTC co-formulation (group A) or placebo (Group B) to their current PI/r regimen, i.e.: DRV/r 800/100 mg QD or LPV/r 400/100 BID. This will be followed by a crossover addition of TDF/FTC co-formulation or placebo.
Randomization will be centralised in the CRO FLS-Research Support and will be stratified by DRV/r or LPV/r intake at baseline to ensure equal distribution in both arms. TDF/FTC co-formulation or Placebo will be provided in a double-blinded fashion, i.e.: neither the treating physician nor the patient will know whether the patient is receiving TDF/FTC or placebo.
All subjects will receive dietary counselling to promote lipid-lowering diet provided by a specialised dietician throughout the study.
The expected duration of the study for each participant will be 36 weeks. There will be 6 visits: screening, baseline and weeks 4, 12, 24 and 36.

Detailed Description:
This is a phase IV, multicenter, prospective, randomised, crossover, double blind, placebo‐controlled and proof of concept clinical trial. The trial was conducted in a total sample of 60 patients (30 patients per group), which assures adequate power to detect differences. This study is adequate to demonstrate the lipid-lowering effect of TDF/FTC co-formulation addition in patients with dyslipidemia and stable monotherapy antiretroviral treatment.
All subjects fulfilling inclusion criteria will be randomised to add either TDF/FTC co-formulation (group A) or placebo (Group B) to their current PI/r regimen, i.e.: DRV/r 800/100 mg QD or LPV/r 400/100 BID. This will be followed by a crossover addition of TDF/FTC co-formulation or placebo.
In Group A the expected changes in cholesterol values, regarding baseline, can be observed 3 months after TDF/FTC addition. After this, a period of 3 months with placebo will act as a washout period, allowing establishing comparisons intra-patient. Finally, another period of 3 months with placebo will permit to establish comparisons with the first 3-month TDF/FTC intervention. In Group B, subjects will follow a 3-month placebo period, later a 3-month TDF/FTC intervention and finally a placebo period that will act as a wash-out.
Randomization will be centralised in the CRO FLS-Research Support and will be stratified by DRV/r or LPV/r intake at baseline to ensure equal distribution in both arms. TDF/FTC co-formulation or Placebo will be provided in a double-blinded fashion, i.e.: neither the treating physician nor the patient will know whether the patient is receiving TDF/FTC or placebo.
All subjects will receive dietary counselling to promote lipid-lowering diet provided by a specialised dietician throughout the study.
The expected date for the inclusion of the first patient is November 2011 and the end of the last patient follow-up will be approximately in September 2013. The expected enrollment period is 13 months. The final study report will be submitted before June 2014.
