Conditions
HIV Infections
Interventions
Procedure: Standard Care
Procedure: Early Initiation of Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy
Registration Number
NCT00491556
Lead Sponsor
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Brief Summary

This study proposes to evaluate a pre-DHHS guideline of HAART initiation and then de-intensification management strategy in adolescents with mild immunosuppression and compare changes in CD4% from baseline to week 48 and then during de-intensification.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, proof of concept study of youth 18- 24 years of age with confirmed HIV after age 9 with CD4+ T cells above 350 cells/mm3 who are randomized 3:1 to begin HAART consisting of TDF/FTC/ATV/r (preferred), AZT/3TC/ATV/r, or other recommended NRTI backbone with ATV/r upon entry or to begin treatment under current DHHS guidelines. Subjects in the experimental group who achieve virologic control by week 24 and maintain good control through 48 weeks will then de-intensify to ATV/r alone and will be followed for two years. Subjects randomized to the standard care arm will begin HAART with TDF/FTC/ATV/r (preferred), AZT/3TC/ATV/r, or other recommended ATV/r based HAART regimen according to current DHHS standard of care.

Standard Care ArmStandard CareSubjects randomized to the standard care arm will begin HAART with TDF/FTC/ATV/r (preferred), AZT/3TC/ATV/r, or other recommended ATV/r based HAART regimen according to current DHHS standard of care and will be followed for a total of three years. Under these guidelines and under current clinical standards, subjects on the standard care arm will begin therapy when the CD4+ T cell count drops below 350 cells/mm3 or other clinical criteria necessitating treatment as determined by the site clinician occur.
Experimental ArmEarly Initiation of Highly Active Anti-Retroviral TherapySubjects in the experimental group will begin HAART consisting of TDF/FTC/ATV/r (preferred), AZT/3TC/ATV/r or other recommended NRTI backbone with ATV/r upon entry or to begin treatment under current DHHS guidelines. Subjects in the experimental group who achieve virologic control by week 24 and maintain good control through 48 weeks will then de-intensify to ATV/r alone and will be followed for an additional two years.
