Primary Endpoint
Virologic success, using Time to Loss of Virologic Response (TLOVR) algorithm: -Plasma HIV RNA below 50 copies/ml at week 20, confirmed at week 24 -Absence of permanent treatment discontinuation -Absence of death -Still follow-up at week 24

Study Overview

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.

  • Plasma HIV RNA > 1000 copies/ml
  • HIV-1-infection confirmed by ELISA and Western blot or Immunofluorescence
  • ART naïve patients or
  • ART for less than 3 months and more than 6 months ago ; an HIV resistance genotype at baseline showing no mutation to NNRTI and TDF or 3TC will be required
  • For women of childbearing age, negative urinary test for pregnancy and to accept contraceptive methods: condom use and intra-uterine device when possible or declare no wish of pregnancy in the coming year.
  • Confirmed or probable TB
  • TB treatment including rifampin started since 2 to 8 weeks before randomisation
  • Signed informed consent form
  • For French patients, to be affiliated to the National Health Care System

Exclusion Criteria

  • HIV-2 infection (single or with HIV-1)
  • Woman who is pregnant or likely to become so, is breastfeeding or refuses to use contraception
  • ALT>2.5N, Hb <7g/dl, neutrophils < 750/mm3, platelet<50 000/mm3, bilirubin >5N, lipase >3N
  • Creatinine clearance <60ml/min as assessed by the Cockcroft method
  • Ongoing psychiatric pathology or any condition (including, but not limited to, the consumption of alcohol or drugs) which might, in the investigator's opinion, compromise the safety of treatment and/or patient compliance with the protocol
  • Concomitant treatments including phenytoin or phenobarbital (compounds interacting with UGT1A1)
  • Prior TB with a Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain resistant to rifampin
  • TB treatment started for more than 8 weeks before randomisation

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Virologic success, using Time to Loss of Virologic Response (TLOVR) algorithm: -Plasma HIV RNA below 50 copies/ml at week 20, confirmed at week 24 -Absence of permanent treatment discontinuation -Absence of death -Still follow-up at week 24

Time Frame: 24 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

  • Proportion of patients with virologic response with the following definitions: - Plasma HIV RNA <50 copies/ml at week 24 - Rate of strategy discontinuation and treatment changes - Proportion of death - Proportion of patients loss to follow-up(24 weeks)
  • Rate of viral resistance mutations in the plasma at the time of virologic failure and in comparison with HIV-RNA mutations at W0(At the time of virologic failure)
  • Proportion of patients with virologic response with the following definitions: o Plasma HIV RNA <50 copies/ml o Plasma HIV RNA <400 copies/ml(24 and 48 weeks)
  • Evolution in HIV RNA and HIV DNA (total and 2 LTR circular) from baseline to week 48(48 weeks)
  • Evolution of CD4 cell counts from baseline to week 48(48 weeks)
  • Frequency, type and time to a new AIDS-defining event or death(Through out the trial)
  • Anti-TB resistance rate(48 weeks)
  • Evolution of raltegravir and efavirenz trough concentration(Through out the trial)
  • Frequency, type, time to grade 3 or 4 adverse event(Through out the trial)
  • Rate of success of TB treatment(48 weeks)
