A Randomised Open-label Study Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of Ritonavir Boosted Lopinavir and 2-3N(t)RTI Backbone Versus Ritonavir Boosted Lopinavir and Raltegravir in Participants Virologically Failing First-line NNRTI/2N(t)RTI Therapy
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating raltegravir, 2N(t)RTI, and 1 other intervention for HIV Infections. Completed, enrolled 558 participants across 44 sites in 17 countries.
Detailed Summary
The investigators hypothesize that following virological failure of a standard NNRTI+2N(T)RTI regimen second-line antiretroviral therapy consisting of ritonavir-boosted lopinavir and 2N(T)RTIs will offer comparable efficacy to that provided by ritonavir-boosted lopinavir and raltegravir. The study will be conducted for 96-weeks with the primary endpoint analyzed after 48-weeks. The primary endpoint is virological: a comparison of virological suppression in plasma \< 200 copies/mL between the randomized arms after 48 weeks. Secondary and exploratory endpoints include virological, immunological, safety, clinical, metabolic, drug adherence, drug resistance and quality of life.
