Brief Summary

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

The ARBRE Study is an observational prospective trial aimed at investigating the impact of the therapy initiation with INTIs on brain outcomes according to the time of therapy initiation. Three study arms are considered: 1) Early treated HIV-1 infected patients (\<3 months since estimated date of infection), 2) Regularly treated HIV-1 infected patients (\>6 months since estimated date of infection), 3) Matched seronegative control group. Study assessments will be performed at baseline, 1 month and 12 months. Study assessments will comprise comprehensive evaluation of brain outcomes. They will include cognitive functioning, neuroimaging parameters, and functional outcomes.

Detailed Description

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

Randomized patients will receive LA CAB+RPV administration in the hospital (standard of care) or out-of- hospital administration every 2 months (M2, M4, M6, M8,M10, M12). Medical visits, rutinary blood tests and pharmacy visits at the hospital of reference will take place every 6 months- at baseline, M1 (if patient has not previously receiving LA CAB+RPV), M6 and M12.

Study Groups

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

Early treated patients

Patients with confirmed HIV-1 infection attended in the HIV Unit of the Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol who initiated therapy presenting recent HIV-1 infection. Recent HIV-1 infection was defined as having a positive plasma viral load and/or p24 antigen with a negative ELISA or having a positive ELISA and undetermined Western-Blot, or having a positive ELISA and absence of p31 antigen in a positive Western-Blot, or seroconversion ELISA in less than 3 months.

No interventions assigned to this group

Regularly treated patients

Patients with confirmed HIV-1 infection attended in the HIV Unit of the Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol who initiated therapy, did not fulfil the criteria for recent HIV-1 infection, and had an estimated time \>6 months reported by the patient and/or by the responsible physician since HIV transmission.

No interventions assigned to this group

Seronegative volunteers

HIV-uninfected volunteers, matched to age, sex, and educational level with groups A and B.

No interventions assigned to this group
