Study Description

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to examine safety and tolerability of daily tenofovir use in HIV-uninfected men.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
HIV Infection	Drug: tenofovir disoproxil fumarate; Drug: placebo	Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This study will assess the clinical and behavioral safety and tolerability of oral daily TDF use as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV infection in uninfected men.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Clinical Safety--Creatinine Elevations [ Time Frame: 24 months (immediate arm) and 15 months (delayed arm) ]
   Grade 3 or 4 Creatinine elevations (per National Institutes of Health Division of AIDS toxicity scale)
2. Clinical Safety--Hypophosphatemia [ Time Frame: 24 months (immediate arm), 15 months (delayed arm) ]
   Grade 3 or 4 hypophosphatemia (per National Institutes of Health Division of AIDS toxicity scale)

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Number of Breakthrough HIV Infections [ Time Frame: 24 months (immediate arm) and 15 months (delayed arm) ]
   Number of participants with HIV seroconversions occuring while on study drug
2. Adherence to Study Drug [ Time Frame: 24 months (immediate arm) and 15 months (delayed arm) ]
   Estimated exposure to study drug (active and placebo) as assessed by Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) caps.
3. Behavioral Safety--Unprotected Anal Sex (UAS) [ Time Frame: Nine months ]
   Change in percent of participants reporting unprotected anal intercourse--baseline vs. months 3 through 9 on study.

Other Outcome Measures:

1. >5% Bone Mineral Density Decline at Femoral Neck [ Time Frame: 24 months (immediate arm), 15 months (delayed arm) ]
   Percent of San Francisco participants in the TDF vs. placebo groups who were found to have >5% decline in Bone Mineral Density at the femoral neck.

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: 18 Years to 60 Years (Adult)

• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: Yes

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy biologic male (male at birth)
• 18-60 years of age
• HIV-1 negative by licensed, commercially available, FDA-approved whole blood rapid enzyme immunoassay (EIA) at screening and enrollment
• Reports any anal sex with a man in the last 12 months
• Able to understand and pass comprehension assessment questionnaire
• Able to understand and sign a written informed consent form, which must be obtained prior to initiation of study procedures
• Able to understand English
• Adequate renal function: calculated creatinine clearance of at least 70 mL/min
• Hepatic transaminases (AST and ALT) less than or equal to 2x upper limit of normal (ULN)
• Total bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 mg/dL
• Absolute neutrophil count at least 1,500/mm3;
• Platelets at least 100,000/mm3;
• Hemoglobin at least 9.5 g/dL
• Serum amylase less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN
• Biochemical profile: within normal limits for serum phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and calcium.
• Hepatitis B surface antigen negative
• Normal urine dipstick or urinalysis (UA)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Active untreated syphilis
• Current uncontrolled hypertension (blood pressure > 160/100 mmHg)
• Mutually monogamous for > one year with a known HIV antibody negative partner
• History of chronic renal disease, known osteoporosis, osteomalacia, or osteopenia
• Current or expected participation in other longitudinal HIV behavioral or biomedical research study
• Current HIV antiretroviral use
• Receiving or planning to receive on-going therapy with any nephrotoxic agents or experimental/investigational agents
• Previous or expected requirements for the administration of immunosuppressive/ immunomodulatory therapy (e.g. chronic systemic steroids, interferon, interleukins, chemotherapy, radiation).
• Evidence of a gastrointestinal malabsorption syndrome or chronic nausea or vomiting which may confer an inability to receive an orally administered medication.
• Current alcohol or substance abuse judged by the investigator to potentially interfere with participant compliance.
• Imminently life-threatening medical conditions (malignancy, immunosuppressive disease [e.g. lymphoma]), or other serious disease or conditions (e.g. cardiovascular, renal, diabetes) within the last 5 years or that are unstable and/or require chronic medication that would impede compliance with study requirements and complicate the interpretation of adverse events
• Expected to be non-compliant with study visits or planning to move within 24 months to an area where the study will not be conducted
• Any other clinical or social condition, prior therapy, occupation, or other responsibility, that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with, or serve as a contraindication to study participation or compliance with the dosing requirements.
