简要总结

An open, randomised, parallel arm phase IIa study. 52 HIV-1 infected patients will be randomised (in a 1:1 ratio) to either an active group or a control group. The active group will receive the GnRH analogue triptorelin depot monthly at baseline, week 4 and week 8. Patients in the active group and in the control group will continue their triple combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) during the study without changes; unless there is rationale for change on medical ground. In order to prevent the negative effects of a low testosterone level, patients in the active group will be offered to receive a single intramuscular depot injection of testosterone approximately 7 days after triptorelin treatment. This depot administration will keep the serum testosterone on a normal level until the next triptorelin dose. This will be repeated when triptorelin is administered at week 4 and week 8. Total study period is 24 weeks.

入选标准

  • Male gender
  • 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive, at the time of informed consent
  • Ability and willingness to give a written or orally witnessed informed consent
  • HIV-1 infection as documented by HIV antibody test
  • CD4+ cell count >300 cells/μL at screening
  • Total HIV-1 DNA level between 100 to 5000 copies/million PBMC as measured by real-time PCR within 4 months prior to screening
  • Plasma HIV-1 RNA level <50 copies/mL for the last year (one blip allowed; blip defined as HIV RNA between 50-150 copies/mL) including a plasma HIV-1 RNA level <50 copies/mL at screening
  • On triple combination ART (two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) + one integrase inhibitor or protease inhibitor or one non-NRTI (NNRTI)) for minimum 36 months (assessed at screening)
  • Currently on continuous triple combination ART as specified above (i.e. no changes in medication) the past 4 months prior to screening

排除标准

  • Treatment failure while on triple ART
  • Nadir CD4+ count < 200 cells/μL
  • History of any immunodeficiency disease or condition other than HIV, chronic clinically significant illness or autoimmune disease
  • Known positive result of screening for hepatitis B (surface antigen positive or detectable HBV DNA levels in blood) or hepatitis C (HCV RNA positive). Patient treated for HCV and assessed as cured by treating physician is eligible for the study
  • Serious ongoing infection
  • Abnormal liver biochemical tests > 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
  • Total testosterone, LH or FSH levels at screening assessed as clinically abnormal by the Investigator
  • Current treatment with testosterone
  • History of any clinically significant kidney disease as determined by the Investigator or eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at screening. (Patients on dolutegravir with an eGFR<60 may be verified for study inclusion by analysis of cystatin C that should then be assessed as normal by the Investigator in order for the patient to be eligible)
  • Diabetes mellitus or a fasting plasma blood glucose >7.0 mmol/L at screening
  • Intolerance or contraindication to injectable triptorelin
  • Vital signs, physical examination or lab results that exhibit evidence of acute illness
  • Known history of moderate or severe depression (see definitions in ICD-10) within the past 5 years
  • Any congenital or acquired prolongation of the QTc interval and use of any drugs that has been proven to prolong the QTc interval (Normal QTc interval defined as <450 msec)
  • Involvement in any other drug study within 30 days prior to this study entry
  • An increased PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) value that is assessed as abnormal by the treating physician
  • Any medical condition that in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise the patient's ability to participate in the study
  • Investigator considers the patient unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions and requirements.
