HIV Infection | Drug: Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) | Phase 4 |
This randomized strategy trial addressed therapeutic questions for women from regions where antepartum HAART for PMTCT (for all CD4+ cell counts) and postpartum formula feeding is standard of care, and who also had both a pre-HAART CD4+ cell count >400 cells/mm^3 and a screening (on-HAART) CD4+ cell count > 400 cells/mm^3. For these women, the objectives related to the relative efficacy and safety of continuing HAART (when it is no longer used for PMTCT) versus discontinuing HAART.
Potential participants were identified/recruited and consented during pregnancy or after delivery or other pregnancy outcome. Study-specific screening was initiated in the third trimester or after pregnancy outcome. Women who were screened for the study were counseled to continue their HAART until they were randomized.
Randomization would occur within 0-42 days after pregnancy outcome. Women who did not carry their pregnancy to the third trimester but otherwise meet study eligibility criteria could be enrolled.
Participants were randomized to one of the two study arms:
Arm A: Continuation of HAART Arm B: Discontinuation of HAART and resume HAART when protocol-specified criteria were met
Participants were to be followed until 84 weeks after the last participant was randomized.
Key evaluations were conducted at Screening, Entry, post entry visits were scheduled to take place 4 weeks after entry, 12 weeks after entry, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Key evaluations included physical examinations, clinical assessments, and blood collection.
On 7 July 2015, the study sites received formal communications regarding the results of the Strategic Timing of Antiretroviral Treatment (START) study and associated changes were implemented to the 1077HS study in response to these results. All sites were instructed that all women in the 1077HS study were to be informed of the START study results and that antiretroviral therapy (ART) was recommended for all women based on the START study results.

|
Drug: Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)
A combination of three or more HIV medications belonging to two or more drug classes. The preferred study-supplied HAART regimen was lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/RTV) plus fixed dose combination tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC). Additional ARVs provided for use in this study included fixed dose combination lamivudine/zidovudine (3TC/ZDV), lamivudine (3TC), zidovudine (ZDV), tenofovir (TDF), fixed dose combination tenofovir/emtricitabine/rilpivirine (TDF/FTC/RPV), didanosine (ddI), atazanavir (ATV), raltegravir (RAL), and ritonavir (RTV). While LPV/RTV plus TDF/FTC was the preferred study-supplied regimen, the study clinicians in conjunction with participants would determine the optimal drug combination for each participant. |
Active Comparator: Stop HAART
Stop receiving HAART within 0-42 days after delivery or other pregnancy outcome and resume HAART when protocol specified criteria were met.

- Number of Virologic Failure (VF) Participants With HIV Resistance in the Continue HAART Arm [ Time Frame: At time of confirmation of VF. HIV-1 RNA testing to identify VF was done at week 4, 12, 24, and every 12 weeks thereafter until study end at an average of 125 weeks. If HIV-1 RNA was above 1000 copies/ml, confirmatory testing was done within 4 weeks. ]VF was defined as two successive measurements of HIV-1 RNA above 1000 copies/ml at or after 24 weeks of HAART. HIV drug resistance was defined using the Stanford database (Version 6.2)
- Medication Adherence [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline, after 4 - 12 and 24 weeks, and then every 6 months until study termination. All participants were followed until July 7, 2015 (an average of 125 weeks of follow-up). ]This secondary outcome was not included in the primary analyses and will be defined in more detail in a separate analysis plan. The analyses are planned to be completed by May 2018, after which results will be reported to ct.gov.
- Quality of Life [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline, after 4 - 12 and 24 weeks, and then every 6 months until study termination. All participants were followed until July 7, 2015 (an average of 125 weeks of follow-up). ]This secondary outcome was not included in the primary analyses and will be defined in more detail in a separate analysis plan.

- Changes in Plasma Concentrations of Inflammatory and Thrombogenic Markers [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline, after 4 and 12 weeks, and then every 6 months until study termination. All participants were followed until July 7, 2015 (an average of 125 weeks of follow-up). ]This outcome was intended as an exploratory analyses and was not included in the primary analyses conditional on primary results and funding. This outcome required additional funding for laboratory testing which was not available and so this outcome is not reported.
- Cost Effectiveness and Feasibility of Treatment Models [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline, after 4 - 12 and 24 weeks, and then every 6 months until study termination. All participants were followed until July 7, 2015 (an average of 125 weeks of follow-up). ]This outcome was intended as an exploratory analyses and was not included in the primary analyses. Given the results of the primary analyses and changes in WHO guidelines to recommend lifelong antiretroviral therapy, the protocol team decided that this outcome was no longer scientifically important. No resources and funding was allocated.
