Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Safety Study to Evaluate the Antiviral Activity of Darunavir in Combination With Ritonavir in HIV 1 Infected Children (NCT NCT00919854)

NCT ID: NCT00919854

Last Updated: 2014-04-23

Results Overview

The TLOVR algorithm was used to derive response, ie, response and loss of response needed to be confirmed at 2 consecutive visits and participants who permanently discontinued were considered nonresponders after discontinuation. Participants with intermittent missing viral load values were considered responders if the preceeding and succeeding visits indicated response. In all other cases, intermittent values were imputed with nonresponse. Resuppression after confirmed virologic failure was considered as failure in this algorithm.

Participant Flow

This study was conducted in 5 countries: Argentina, Brazil, India, Kenya, and South Africa.

27 participants were recruited and treated in this study; as Good Clinical Practice (GCP) requirements were not consistently adhered to at one site (involving 6 participants), analyses were performed excluding the participants from this site, resulting in 21 participants used for analyses.

DRV/Rtv
Before dose adjustment, oral darunavir suspension (100 mg/mL): 20 mg per kg body weight twice daily for children weighing between 10 and \<20 kg. After dose adjustment, 25 mg per kg body weight twice daily if weight less than 15 kg, and fixed dose of 375 mg twice daily if weight more than or equal to 15 kg. Before dose adjustment, oral ritonavir solution (80 mg/mL): 3 mg per kg body weight twice daily and after dose adjustment fixed dose of 50 mg twice daily if weight more than or equal to 15 kg

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 24

Population: 27 participants were recruited and received at least 1 dose of study medication; as Good Clinical Practice (GCP) requirements were not consistently adhered to at one site (involving 6 participant), analyses were performed excluding the participants from this site, resulting in 21 participants used for analyses.

The TLOVR algorithm was used to derive response, ie, response and loss of response needed to be confirmed at 2 consecutive visits and participants who permanently discontinued were considered nonresponders after discontinuation.
