Preservation and Expansion of T-cell Subsets Following HAART De-intensification to Atazanavir/Ritonavir (ATV/r) in Adolescents With CD4 + T Cells > 350 Cells/mm3 Initiating HAART
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Early Initiation of Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy and Standard Care for HIV Infections. Completed, enrolled 102 participants across 23 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
This study proposes to evaluate a pre-DHHS guideline of HAART initiation and then de-intensification management strategy in adolescents with mild immunosuppression and compare changes in CD4% from baseline to week 48 and then during de-intensification.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Treatment: TDF/FTC/ATV/r (preferred), AZT/3TC/ATV/r or other recommended NRTI backbone with ATV/r. Duration: Subjects in the experimental group who achieve virologic control by week 24 and maintain good control through 48 weeks will then de-intensify to ATV/r alone and will be followed for an additional two years.
Progression: Subjects on the standard care arm will begin therapy when the CD4+ T cell count drops below 350 cells/mm3 or other clinical criteria necessitating treatment as determined by the site clinician occur. Treatment: HAART with TDF/FTC/ATV/r (preferred), AZT/3TC/ATV/r, or other recommended ATV/r based HAART regimen according to current DHHS standard of care. Duration: three years.
