Efficacy and Safety of 2 Raltegravir Doses in Naive HIV-1-infected Patients Receiving Rifampin for Active Tuberculosis

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions

Registration Number
NCT00822315
Lead Sponsor
ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases
Brief Summary

Raltegravir is a potent antiretroviral agent that could be used as an alternative to efavirenz in HIV-1 infected patients with tuberculosis. However due to pharmacokinetic interactions, the optimal dose of raltegravir to be used in combination with rifampin is currently unknown.

This phase II open-label randomized multicenter trial is designed to estimate the antiviral efficacy of two doses of raltegravir and one dose of efavirenz at week 24, in HIV-1 naive patients co-infected with active tuberculosis (TB) treated with rifampin.
