简要总结

This study is a multicentre, randomized, placebo-controlled, fully blinded, clinical trial of twice daily oral valacyclovir 500mg versus placebo with the goal of delaying the need for initiating HAART among HIV infected individuals who neither use nor require HAART, and who have not used chronic suppressive anti-HSV therapy for at least the 6 months prior to study initiation.

入选标准

  • adult (aged 18 years or older or as per Local/Provincial Guidelines)
  • documented HIV-1 infection (determined by EIA and Western blot, sites' standard assays are acceptable if approved in advance by the PIs for the study, Dr. Darrell Tan and/or Dr. Sharon Walmsley)
  • no use of chronic anti-HSV therapy for the past 6 months, and not anticipated to require chronic anti-HSV therapy during the study
  • antiretroviral naïve (no more than 14 days of total prior ARV exposure)
  • CD4 count within the 400-900 cells/mm3 range (inclusive) on two consecutive occasions, with at least one measurement within 30 days of initiating trial (baseline visit)
  • does not meet recommendations for initiating ARV therapy according to current guidelines

排除标准

  • pregnancy or actively planning to become pregnant
  • receiving chemotherapy, chronic steroid therapy or other immunomodulatory medications (e.g. interferon, azathioprine, methotrexate, TNF-alpha antagonists, etc.)
  • Estimated creatinine clearance <30 mL/min
  • Other medical condition likely to cause death within 24 months
  • Enrolled in a therapeutic HIV vaccine or immunotherapy trial
  • Enrolled in another trial investigating the impact of another intervention on HIV disease progression
  • HIV elite controller (EC), phenotypically defined here as documented duration of HIV infection of ≥5 years, a persistent CD4 cell count ≥500 cells/mm3, and a persistent plasma HIV viral load of <1000 copies/mL in the absence of antiretroviral therapy

结局指标

主要结局

annual rate of change in CD4 count, calculated as the slope of participants' CD4 count change / time.

时间窗: up to 5 years

次要结局

  • Annual rate of change in the CD4 cell count percentage, calculated as the slope of the participants' CD4 count percentage change over time(up to 5 years)
  • Log10 plasma HIV viral load at 12, 24 and 36 months of follow-up(up to 5 years)
  • Overall quality of life as measured by the MOS-HIV questionnaire at each 6-monthly time point(up to 5 years)
  • time from baseline until reaching the composite of either a CD4 cell count ≤350 cells/mm3 measured on two consecutive occasions at least 1 month apart, or initiation of HAART for any reason, whichever occurs first.(up to 5 years)
  • Frequency of episodes of HSV reactivations at any anatomic site(up to 5 years)
  • Treatment-emergent adverse events and laboratory abnormalities (CBC, serum creatinine)(up to 5 years)
  • Proportion of microbiologically confirmed flares of HSV during the trial that are caused by laboratory-confirmed acyclovir-resistant HSV(up to 5 years)
