Perinatal Antiretroviral Intensification for PMTCT of HIV in Late Comers

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
HIV Infections
Interventions
Drug: Nevirapine, zidovudine, lamivudine
Registration Number
NCT01511237
Lead Sponsor
Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement
Brief Summary

The purpose is to evaluate the efficacy of maternal and infant perinatal antiretroviral prophylaxis intensification for the prevention of mother-to-child intrapartum transmission of HIV-1 in women receiving less than 8 weeks of antiretroviral prophylaxis during pregnancy.

Detailed Description

Design: a multicenter, phase III, single-arm trial.

Perinatal antiretroviral intensification (study treatment) is defined as the addition to the standard of care\* for mothers and infants of:

* Mothers: One NVP 200 mg tablet at onset of labor with continuation of HAART for four weeks postpartum

* Newborn: AZT+3TC+ NVP for 2 weeks, followed by AZT+3TC for 2 weeks:

* NVP syrup 2 mg/kg every 24 hours for seven days, followed by NVP syrup 4 mg/kg every 24 hours for seven days. Newborns less than 2500 g will be administered 2mg/kg NVP syrup at each intake

* AZT syrup 4 mg/ kg will be given every 12 hours for four weeks (preterm infants less than 30 weeks will be administered 2 mg/kg every 12 hours; preterm 30-35 weeks will receive 2 mg/kg every 12 hours for the first 2 weeks, increased to 3 mg/kg for the next 2 weeks).

* 3TC syrup 2 mg/kg every 12 hours for four weeks.

* The standard of care in Thailand is defined as:

* Maternal antiretroviral treatment: ZDV 300 mg, 3TC 150mg and LPV/r 400/100 twice a day starting as soon possible after 14 weeks of pregnancy + ZDV 300 mg every 3 hours during labor; this treatment may be continued, stopped or modified after delivery upon the recommendation of the internist.

* Newborn: ZDV 4 mg/kg every 12 hours for 4 weeks (ZDV dosing adjusted for premature infants).
