The Maraviroc Central Nervous System (CNS) Study
- Registration Number
- NCT00982878
- Lead Sponsor
- Imperial College London
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to describe the Central Nervous System exposure of maraviroc in HIV-1 infected subjects receiving a stable antiretroviral regimen, including maraviroc, at steady state.
- Detailed Description
15 HIV-1 infected subjects currently receiving stable antiretroviral therapy will be recruited. At study entry, within 14 days of screening procedures, subjects will commence maraviroc dosed at 150 mg twice daily. For the rest of study period antiretroviral therapy will comprise:
* Truvada™ one tablet once daily at 0900
* Kaletra™ two tablets twice daily 0900 and 2100
* maraviroc 150 mg twice daily at 0900 and 2100
Subjects will attend for regular clinic visits during study treatment phase.
On day 15, subjects will attend the unit in the morning prior to usual dosing time. Blood with be drawn to assess plasma maraviroc concentration pre dose and pre lumbar puncture. A lumbar puncture will be performed under standard aseptic techniques to asses CSF maraviroc concentration and routine CSF parameters.
On completion of this study visit, subjects will cease maraviroc, continue on their usual antiretroviral regimen and attend for a follow up visit 10 days later.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid) : Plasma Ratio of Maraviroc 1H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS) 15 days To describe the CNS exposure of maraviroc in HIV-1 infected subjects receiving a stable antiretroviral regimen, including maraviroc, at steady state.
It were assessed by in vivo cerebral (1)H magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS).
Cerebral MRS imaging (T1- and T2-weighted images) was performed on a Phillips Achieva™ 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonance (MR) scanner (Phillips NV, Best, Netherlands) and studied by an experienced neuroradiologist
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants With Adverse Events 15 days To evaluate the short term safety and tolerability of maraviroc in HIV-1 infected subjects on stable antiretroviral therapy
