|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
? After receiving information on the design and objectives of the study, the possible risks involved, and the fact that they can refuse to collaborate at any time, patients will give their informed consent to participate in the study. ? Aged over 18 years. ? Understanding the objective of the study and being available to make frequent visits to the hospital. ? Negative pregnancy test done in the 7 days prior to the commencement of the study treatment in premenopausal women or < 2 years after menopause. ? Women of childbearing potential and men with couples of childbearing age should commit to use a highly effective contraceptive method (such as surgical sterilization, double barrier method, oral contraceptives or hormonal contraceptive implant) and continue to use up to 6 months after the last dose of treatment. ? Chronic HIV infection ? Antiretroviral therapy with at least 3 drugs for at least 2 years and with no modifications expected during the study. Antiretroviral drugs can be switched due to intolerance as long as plasma viremia remains controlled. ? Undetectable viral load determined by ultrasensitive techniques (<50 copies HIV RNA copies/mL) for at least 2 years. ? CD4+ T lymphocyte count above 350 cells/mm3. ? Not be receiving any drug with potential antagonist activity of HIV-1 latency |
Pacientes, que tras haber recibir información sobre el diseño, los fines del estudio, los posibles riesgos que de él pueden derivarse y de que en cualquier momento pueden denegar su colaboración, otorguen por escrito su consentimiento para participar en el estudio. ? Ser mayor de 18 años. ? Entender el propósito del estudio y estar disponibles para realizar frecuentes visitas al hospital. ? Prueba de embarazo negativa realizada en los 7 días anteriores al comienzo del tratamiento en estudio en mujeres premenopáusicas o < 2 años después de la menopausia ? Las mujeres en edad fértil y los varones con pareja en edad fértil deben comprometerse a utilizar un método anticonceptivo de gran eficacia (como esterilización quirúrgica, método de doble barrera, anticonceptivos orales o implantes hormonales contraceptivos) y a continuar utilizándolos hasta 6 meses después de la última dosis de tratamiento. ? Infección crónica por VIH-1 ? Tratamiento antirretroviral con al menos 3 fármacos durante al menos 2 años y sin cambios previstos en el mismo durante el estudio. Los fármacos antirretrovirales podrán cambiarse por motivos de intolerancia, siempre que la viremia plasmática permanezca controlada. ? Carga viral indetectable mediante técnicas ultrasensibles (<50 copias de ARN VIH-1/mL) durante al menos 2 años. ? Recuento de linfocitos T CD4+ superior a 350 células/mm3. ? No estar recibiendo ningún fármaco con potencial actividad antagonista de la latencia de VIH-1 |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
? Pregnancy or intention to become pregnant during the study, as well as being in a period of lactation. ? Previous failure of antiretroviral therapy, understood as a rebound in viral load that can be detected after having reached undetectable levels. Low-grade increases (<200 copies of HIV RNA/mL) and transitory increases (blips) resolved without modifying antiretroviral therapy are excluded. ? Proven resistance against the antiretroviral drugs under study. ? Planned interruption of antiretroviral therapy. ? Taking immunosuppressive or immunostimulating medication of any type, including valproic acid. ? Taking a fusion inhibitor (enfuvirtide) |
? Embarazo o planificación de quedarse embarazada durante el transcurso del estudio, así como encontrarse en un periodo de lactancia ? Fracaso previo del tratamiento antiretroviral, entendido como rebrote de carga viral detectable tras haber alcanzado la indetectabilidad. Se excluyen como fracaso virológico las elevaciones de bajo grado (<200 copias de ARN VIH/mL) y transitorias que se resuelven sin modificación del tratamiento antirretroviral (?blips?). ? Tener demostrada resistencia a los fármacos antirretrovirales en estudio. ? Tener planificada una interrupción del tratamiento antirretroviral. ? Estar recibiendo medicación inmunosupresora o inmunoestimulante de cualquier tipo, incluyendo ácido valproico. ? Estar recibiendo un inhibidor de la fusión (enfuvirtida). |
