E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary research question is to determine whether a switch to maraviroc in HIV+ patients who are on a stable regimen of anti HIV drugs provides an optimal balance of safety, efficacy and tolerabiltiy across a range of populations. The primary endpoint of the study is the number of participants with HIV viral load (level of HIV in the blood) less than 200 copies at 48 weeks after randomisation. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
There a number of secondary endpoints including
Virological Immunologic and biomarker endpoints Clinical endpoints Metabolic and body composition Safety Adherence Quality of Life Resistance

|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Documented HIV 1 infection by a licensed diagnostic test at any time prior to study entry 2. Age >18 years 3. HIV 1 RNA <200 copies/mL plasma for at least 24 weeks 4. Stable (>24 weeks) ART including two N(t)RTIs and a PI/r 5. No evidence of any primary HIV genotypic mutations in HIV reverse transcriptase or protease for all patients with available resistance testing results conducted prior to cART and/or during viral rebound/failure 6. Provision of written, informed consent.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. CXCR4 or CCR5/CXCR4 dual tropic HIV tropism or a nonreportable tropism result based on assessment using proviral DNA 2. Anticipated need to modify current cART regimen for toxicity management in the next 6 months 3. The following laboratory criteria, a. absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <750 cells/μL b. haemoglobin <8.0 g/dL c. platelet count <50,000 cells/μL d. serum AST, ALT >5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) 4. Active hepatitis B coinfection 5. Pregnant women or nursing mothers 6. Current use of any prohibited medications as described in product specific information. 7. Hypersensitivity to soy or peanuts 8. Acute therapy for serious infection or other serious medical illness (in the judgement of the site Principal Investigator) requiring systemic treatment and/or hospitalisation 9. Use of immunomodulators (e.g. systemic corticosteroids, recombinant interleukin 2 interferon) within 30 days prior to screening 10. Patients with current alcohol or illicit substance use that in the opinion of the site Principal Investigator would conflict with any aspect of the conduct of the study 11. Patients unlikely to be able to remain in follow up for the protocol defined period 12. Prisoners or subjects who are compulsorily detained (involuntary incarcerated). |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is the comparison of the switch arms to control arm of proportion of participants with HIV RNA < 200copies/ml after randomisation. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
A number of secondary endpoints will be examined at or through to week 48 in this protocol. These will include, butnot limited to the following: Virologic endpoints •Proportion of participants with plasma HIV RNA <50 copies/mL •Time to virological failure (defined as plasma HIV RNA ≥200 copies/mL on randomised therapy, on two occasions at least seven days apart) •Time to loss of virological response, as defined by virological failure, permanent discontinuation of randomised treatment, new AIDS‐defining illness, death or withdrawal from the study •Changes from baseline in log plasma HIV RNA copies/mL •Frequency of plasma HIV RNA blips (defined as a plasma viral load result >200 copies/mL on randomised therapy following a previous result <200 copies/mL, with a follow‐up result <200 copies/mL at least seven days after the >200 copies/mL reading, in the absence of a change of any component of the ART regimen). Immunologic and biomarker endpoints •Changes from baseline in absolute and percentage CD4+ T cells •Changes from baseline in selected soluble markers of immune activation/coagulation. Clinical endpoints •Rate of opportunistic disease (AIDS) or death •Rates of Serious Non‐AIDS‐defining illness and Non‐AIDS‐related mortality. Metabolic and body composition endpoints •Changes from baseline in fasting lipids (TC, LDL‐c, HDL‐c and TG) •Changes in absolute CVD risk assessment using the Framingham risk equation •Changes from baseline in fasting glucose and insulin •Rates of initiation or changes in existing lipid‐lowering therapies •Changes from baseline in anthropometric changes derived from Dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning of peripheral and central adipose tissue •Changes from baseline in bone mineral density as measured by DXA •Changes in 10‐year fracture risk using the FRAX® algorithm •Changes from baseline in markers of bone turnover. Safety •Changes from baseline in selected serum biochemical parameters, including changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate •Proportions experiencing and types of SAEs •Proportions experiencing, types and severity of AEs. Adherence •Self‐reported adherence to randomised study medications. Quality of Life •Change from baseline health status scores as measured by the SF‐12 health status. Resistance endpoints •Patterns of genotypic resistance at virological failure. |
