Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Both twice-a-day (BID) and once-a-day (QD) dosing are approved in Europe for the protease inhibitor lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r; Kaletra®).

Since once-a-day dosing is actually a driver for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients to request a specific antiretroviral, the aim of this study is to assess both patient's perception of and adherence to Kaletra once-a-day, as well as with which factors they are related.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multicenter, post-marketing, observational, cross-sectional (single visit) study in HIV-infected patients treated with a combination of antiretroviral treatment (ART) containing LPV/r 200/50 mg tablets dosed QD for at least 12 weeks to assess the participants' satisfaction and adherence level with LPV/r QD ART as measured by specific validated participant questionnaires.

As this is a non-interventional study, the decision to enroll a participant was separate from the decision to treat the subject with LPV/r. Prescription of LPV/r and duration of treatment were the responsibility of the treating physician.

In addition, the overall study population was compared to Cohort 2 (394 patients on LPV/r BID for ≥3 months to \<2 years) from KAPITAL2, a post-marketing observational, cross-sectional, single visit, multicenter, national study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Kaletra (LPV/r) QD as First Kaletra Treatment

HIV-infected participants treated with lopinavir/ritonavir once daily (LPV/r QD) from ≥3 months to \<2 years who had not been treated with any of the following: LPV/r twice daily (BID), a protease inhibitor, or a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor.

No interventions assigned to this group

Kaletra (LPV/r) QD from Kaletra BID

HIV-infected participants treated with LPV/r from ≥3 months to \<2 years who had initiated on LPV/r BID and at any time within this period (but at least 3 months before inclusion in the study) had changed dosing from BID to QD.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Men or women aged 18 years or older, HIV-infected.
2. Patients who were under LPV/r Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART) for 3 to 24 months before study visit:

Cohort 1: patients on LPV/r QD since they started the LPV/r regimen and who were naïve to protease inhibitor (PI) therapy.\* Cohort 2: patients who previously started on LPV/r BID (maximum of 24 months before study) and switched to LPV/r QD (at least 3 months before the study visit).\*
3. Patients who were able to complete questionnaires by themselves.
4. Patients who signed/dated informed consent to participate in the study.

* NOTE: Patients who were taking LPV/r QD should have had no more than 3 protease inhibitor mutations by the time the treatment with this LPV/r dosing was initiated.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients who were on LPV/r monotherapy or bi-therapy or on BID dosing at time of study visit.
2. Patients who were using another LPV/r formulation different from 200/50 LPV/r mg tablets.
3. Patients who were participating in any other clinical trial or postmarketing observational study (PMOS).
4. Patients who were unable to read and/or write.
5. Patients who were under treatment interruption. Patients who have stopped LPV-therapy for more than 3 months in the 12 months preceding study visit.
