简要总结

The investigators' in vitro data suggest that Neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists like aprepitant will decrease the expression of CCR5, an essential co-receptor in the life cycle of HIV, in the surface of macrophages and lymphocytes to levels at least similar to those observed in patients heterozygous for the CCR5 32 mutation. Together with a direct potential antiviral effect this could alter disease progression in patients with HIV infection.

The investigators' hypothesis is that aprepitant is safe, tolerable and has antiviral activity in HIV infected individuals.

This is randomized, placebo controlled, double blind study to determine the safety and antiviral activity of aprepitant by comparing the change in HIV RNA viral load after 2 weeks of aprepitant monotherapy.

27 HIV infected males and females ≥ 18 years old who have early infection with CD4 cell counts ≥ 350 cells/mm3. Subjects will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive two different doses of aprepitant (Emend®) or placebo.

入选标准

  • HIV-1 infection, as documented by any licensed ELISA test kit and confirmed by Western blot at any time prior to study entry. HIV-1 culture, HIV-1 antigen, plasma HIV-1 RNA, or a second antibody test by a method other than ELISA is acceptable as an alternative confirmatory test.
  • CD4+ cell count ≥ 350/mm3 obtained within 90 days prior to study entry and performed at any CLIA-certified laboratory.
  • Plasma HIV-1 RNA of ≥ 2000 copies/mL as measured by any standard assay (the Roche UltraSensitive HIV-1 Monitor assay (Roche Molecular Systems), or Version 3 bDNA assay or other) and performed within 90 days prior to study entry by any laboratory that is CLIA-certified (or its equivalent) for the assay.
  • CCR5 tropic virus exclusively as determined by the Monogram tropism assay (PhenoSense Entry™).
  • Laboratory values obtained within 30 days prior to study entry, as follows:
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than 750/mm3
  • Hemoglobin greater than 10.0 g/dL
  • Platelet count greater than 100,000/mm3
  • Creatinine less than 2 x ULN (fasting)
  • AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT), and alkaline phosphatase less than 2 x ULN
  • Total bilirubin less than 2.5 x ULN
  • Albumin greater than 3 g/dL
  • Serum lipase less than 1.5 x ULN
  • Female subjects of reproductive potential must have a negative spot urine pregnancy test result (with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL) performed at entry, prior to starting initial study treatment.
  • All subjects must agree not to participate in a conception process while on study drug and for 30 days after stopping the medication.
  • If participating in sexual activity that could lead to pregnancy, the female study subject must use at least one of the forms of contraception listed below while receiving the protocol-specified medication and for 30 days after stopping the medication:
  • Condoms (male or female) with or without a spermicidal agent
  • Diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicide
  • Female subjects, who are not of reproductive potential defined as women who have been post-menopausal for at least 24 consecutive months, or women who have undergone surgical sterilization, (e.g. hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or salpingotomy) are eligible without requiring the use of contraception. Subject reported history is acceptable for documentation of sterilization, other contraceptive methods, menopause and a child's reproductive potential.
  • Karnofsky performance score greater than 80 within 30 days prior to study entry.
  • Men and women greater than 18 years of age.
  • Ability and willingness of subject or legal guardian/representative to give written informed consent.
  • Willing to return for a follow-up visit on day
  • Subjects taking any precautionary concomitant medications must be on stable doses for > 8 weeks prior to study entry and have no plans to change medications or doses for the duration of the study.

排除标准

  • Receipt of antiretroviral treatment within the 16 weeks prior to study entry or intent to initiate antiretroviral therapy within 60 days after entry.
  • Diabetes requiring treatment with oral hypoglycemics or insulin therapy.
  • Pregnancy within 90 days prior to study entry.
  • Breast-feeding.
  • Use of drugs that are inhibitors or inducers of metabolism by the cytochrome P450 CYP3A4 or CYP2C9 (such as warfarin and phenytoin) within 7 days of study entry.
  • Use of systemic corticosteroids or hormonal agents within 90 days prior to study entry.
  • Use of any immunomodulator, HIV vaccines, or investigational therapy within 90 days prior to study entry.
  • Any vaccination within 30 days prior to study entry.
  • Use of systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy within 90 days prior to study entry.
  • History of allergy to aprepitant or its formulations.
  • Active drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements.
  • History of chronic active hepatitis B or C infection or severe hepatic dysfunction (Child-Plug score > 9) regardless of etiology.
  • Serious illness requiring systemic treatment and/or hospitalization until subject either completes therapy or is clinically stable on therapy, in the opinion of the investigator, for at least 14 days prior to study entry.
  • Weight < 40 kg or 88 lbs within 90 days prior to study entry.
  • History of severe psychiatric comorbidities, such as depression, schizophrenia, mania, psychosis.
