Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 400 mg QD nevirapine extended release (NVP XR) formulation versus 200 mg BID nevirapine immediate release (NVP IR) in ARV therapy naïve HIV-1 infected patients after 48 weeks of treatment.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary objectives are to evaluate safety and pharmacokinetics of NVP XR and NVP IR.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Optional Pharmacokinetic Substudy: Designated trial centers will participate in the pharmacokinetic substudy that includes intensive blood collection on Day 28. It is planned to include approximately 30 patients within this substudy. A patient who qualifies for the trial will automatically qualify for the PK substudy. A separate informed consent form will be required for participation in the substudy. Only study centers with previous experience and equipped in handling PK samples are eligible for participation in the substudy. It is anticipated that enrollment for the PK substudy will be finished before completion of the main study. In this case, the sponsor will inform the designated centers to continue enrollment for the main study without further enrollment into the PK substudy.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Signed informed consent in accordance with GCP and local regulatory requirements prior to trial participation
    2. HIV-1 infected males or females ≥18 years of age with positive serology (ELISA) confirmed by Western blot
    3. No previous antiretroviral treatment
    4. Males with CD4+ counts >50 - <400 cells/µl or females with CD4+ counts >50 -<250 cells/µl
    5. Adequate renal function defined as a calculated creatinine clearance (CLCr) greater than or equal to 50 mL/min according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula as follows:
    Male: (140 – age in years) x (weight in kg) divided by 72 x (serum creatinine in mg/dl) = CLCr (mL/min).
    Female: (140 – age in years) x (weight in kg) divided by 72 x (serum creatinine in mg/dl) x 0.85 = CLCr (mL/min).
    6. Karnofsky score >70 (see Appendix 10.4)
    7. An HIV-1 viral load of ≥1,000 copies/mL
    8. Willingness to initiate CD4+ cell count-guided chemoprophylaxis to prevent important opportunistic infections as defined in Appendix 10.2

    5. ALT/AST > DAIDS Grade 1
    6. Hypersensitivity to any ingredients of the test products
    7. Previous use of Viramune® (nevirapine) or any other antiretroviral agents (does not include use of single dose NVP for the prevention of mother to child transmission)
    8. Resistance to NNRTIs or either one of the components of Truvada® (emtricitabine or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) or lamivudine (3TC) based on HIV-1 genotypic resistance testing report obtained at screening
    9. Patients who are receiving other concomitant treatments which are not permitted, as described in the prescribing information
    10. Use of investigational medications (any experimental agent other than the study regimen) within 30 days before study entry or during the trial
    11. Use of immunomodulatory drugs within 30 days before study entry or during the trial (e.g., interferon, cyclosporin, hydroxyurea, interleukin 2)
    12. Patients who have been diagnosed with malignant disease
    13. Patients who in the opinion of the investigator are not candidates for inclusion in the study
    14. Patient with Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML), Visceral Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS), and/or any lymphoma
    15. Any AIDS defining illness that is unresolved, symptomatic or not stable on treatment for at least 12 weeks at screening visit
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint of this study is virologic response by Week 48. Virologic response is defined as VL <50 copies/mL prior to Week 48 and without subsequent virologic rebound or change of ARV therapy prior to Week 48.
    A virologic rebound is defined by two consecutive measurements of VL ≥500 copies/mL, at least two weeks apart, after the measurement of VL <50 copies/mL.
    If the first VL ≥500 copies/mL occurs at Week 48 and this is the first sequential VL value ≥500 copies/mL following virologic response, then another measurement at least two weeks later is necessary to confirm whether virologic rebound has occurred.

    An end of trial (EOT) visit will be performed when a patient either completes the entire trial at Week 144 or discontinues early (note: Week 144 is the maximum treatment duration allowed for each patient). This visit should occur within one week of the last dose of study drug to evaluate efficacy, AEs/SAEs and the final laboratory test results. The EOT visit for early discontinuation is conducted to collect efficacy and safety information from patients who discontinue from Trial 1100.1486.
