Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Trial of CNS-targeted HAART (CIT2) (NCT NCT00624195)

NCT ID: NCT00624195

Last Updated: 2014-04-23

Results Overview

The outcome measure is change in performance from baseline to 16 weeks as measured by the global deficit score (GDS). The GDS is calculated by averaging the individual deficit scores from each neurocognitive test. Deficit scores for each test were calculated from age-, education-, gender-, and ethnicity-adjusted raw scores by methods that capture unexpectedly poor performance while ignoring better than expected performance. The GDS ranges in value from 0-5; higher scores indicate poorer cognitive functioning. Subjects with scores greater than or equal to 0.5 are considered cognitively impaired.

Measure
CNS-targeted
CNS-T will comprise two components: 1) initial selection of agents to optimize CNS penetration of the overall regimen; and 2) modification of the regimen if an interim pharmacokinetic (PK) assessment determines that plasma ARV exposure is not appropriate (overdosing, under dosing). Possible regimens include combinations of these FDA approved antiretroviral agents: Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir, Lamivudine/Zidovudine, Emtricitabine, Lamivudine, Abacavir/Lamivudine, Zidovudine, Abacavir/Lamivudine/Zidovudine, Emtricitabine/Tenofovir, Tenofovir, Abacavir, Etravirine, Delavirdine, Efavirenz, Nevirapine, Amprenavir, Tipranavir, Saquinavir, Lopinavir/ritonavir, Fosamprenavir, Ritonavir, Darunavir, Atazanavir, Nelfinavir, Enfuvirtide, Maraviroc, Raltegravir
Non-CNS-targeted
Subjects in the non-CNS-T (Comparison) arm will be randomized to receive a regimen designed to suppress plasma Viral Load, but not to expected to have targeted CNS penetration. Possible regimens include combinations of these FDA approved antiretroviral agents: Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir, Lamivudine/Zidovudine, Emtricitabine, Lamivudine, Abacavir/Lamivudine, Zidovudine, Abacavir/Lamivudine/Zidovudine, Emtricitabine/Tenofovir, Tenofovir, Abacavir, Etravirine, Delavirdine, Efavirenz, Nevirapine, Amprenavir, Tipranavir, Saquinavir, Lopinavir/ritonavir, Fosamprenavir, Ritonavir, Darunavir, Atazanavir, Nelfinavir, Enfuvirtide, Maraviroc, Raltegravir
