Safety and Effectiveness of Addition of Maraviroc to ART Regimens in HIV-Infected Adults With Suboptimal CD4 T-Cell Count Recovery Despite Sustained Virologic Suppression - Full Text View

Sponsor:	AIDS Clinical Trials Group
Collaborator:	National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Information provided by:	AIDS Clinical Trials Group
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00709111

Purpose

Some HIV-infected individuals with low viral load on antiretroviral therapy (ART) do not have increased CD4 counts and remains at risk for clinical progression of HIV. The purpose of this study is to assess whether adding maraviroc (MVC) to a stable ART regimen will result in an improved immune response in individuals with a limited CD4 response despite sustained virologic suppression.

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1 Maraviroc (MVC) will be taken orally twice daily for 24 weeks. Dosage is dependent on the pharmacokinetic interaction with participant's current ART and non-ART drug regimen.	Drug: Maraviroc 150 mg taken orally twice daily for participants already receiving the following: potent CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., all protease inhibitors, with or without ritonavir, with or without NNRTI, except tipranavir/ritonavir (TPV/RTV); delavirdine, itraconazole, ketoconazole, clarithromycin, nefazadone, telithromycin) 300 mg taken orally twice daily for participants already receiving the following: TPV/RTV and regimens without CYP3A inducers or inhibitors (including NRTI-only regimen, nevirapine, raltegravir, enfuvirtide) 600 mg taken orally twice daily for participants already receiving the following: potent CYP3A inducers without a strong CYP3A inhibitor (e.g., efavirenz, etravirine, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and phenytoin) Other Name: MVC

Detailed Description:

The majority of HIV-infected individuals with virologic suppression on antiretroviral therapy (ART) have a significant increase in CD4 count over the first year. However, a portion of these individuals show a suboptimal immune response and remain at an elevated risk for clinical progression. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of the addition of maraviroc (MVC) to stable treatment regimens in individuals with suboptimal immune response despite sustained virologic suppression.

This study will last approximately 48 weeks. All participants will add MVC to their current antiretroviral drug regimen for 24 weeks. Dosage of MVC will depend on the regimen of each participant. At Week 24, participants will discontinue MVC and be followed for an additional 24 weeks.

All participants will have study visits at study entry and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 22, 24, 36, 46, and 48. A clinical assessment and blood collection will occur at all visits. A questionnaire will take place at select visits. For women, a pregnancy test will occur at study entry and Week 24. MVC will be distributed at study entry and Weeks 8 and 16. Other ART will not be supplied by the study.
