Raltegravir Versus Efavirenz in Naive HIV-1-infected Patients Receiving Rifampin for Active Tuberculosis
- Conditions
- HIV-1 InfectionTuberculosis
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT02273765
- Lead Sponsor
- ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases
- Brief Summary
Phase III trial evaluating raltegravir as an alternative to efavirenz for antiretroviral treatment of HIV-infected patients with tuberculosis.
- Detailed Description
Phase III multicenter, international, open-label, randomized trial evaluating non-inferiority of raltegravir at dose of 400mg BID compared to efavirenz 600mg QD, both in association with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and lamivudine in ART-naïve HIV-1 infected patients with active TB disease receiving a rifampin-based TB treatment initiated \<8 weeks before inclusion. Patients will be randomized between 2 arms: the raltegravir (RAL) 400 mg bid arm or the efavirenz (EFV) 600 mg qd arm, each in combination with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and lamivudine (3TC) and will be followed for 48 weeks after entry in the trial (ART initiation).

Group Intervention Description Raltegravir Tenofovir + lamivudine + raltegravir Tenofovir 300mg QD + lamivudine 300mg QD + raltegravir 400mg BID Efavirenz Tenofovir + lamivudine + efavirenz Tenofovir 300mg QD + lamivudine 300mg QD + efavirenz 600mg QD
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Proportion of patients in virologic success Week 48 Virologic success, defined as plasma HIV-1 RNA \<50 copies/mL, at week 48 with a window period of 42 to 54 weeks (snapshot algorithm). Discontinuation of the strategy (ie. permanent discontinuation of EFV, RAL), missing values, loss to follow-up and death will be considered as failure.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Frequency of tuberculosis treatment outcomes Week 48 Change in plasma HIV-1 RNA from baseline to week 48 Week 48 Frequency and time to new antiretroviral genotypic resistance in plasma RNA in patients with virologic failure Week 48 Time to death Week 48 Frequency, type and time to grade 3 or 4 adverse events Week 48 Time to virologic failure during follow-up Week 48 Change in CD4 cell counts from baseline to week 48 Week 48 Frequency, type and time to Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome Week 48 Frequency, type and time to new or recurrent AIDS-defining illnesses Week 48 Frequency, type and time to drug-induced clinical or biological adverse reactions of grade 3 or 4 or leading to treatment interruption Week 48 Frequency, type and time to severe HIV-associated non-AIDS defining illnesses Week 48 Proportion of patients in virologic success at each time point (HIV-1 RNA<50 copies/mL) Week 48
