- 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.

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
