Descriptive Information
Brief Title ICMJE	BOOST: Study of Increased Dosage of Lopinavir/Ritonavir (LPV/r)
Official Title ICMJE	Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetics and Tolerability of Increased Dosage of Lopinavir/Ritonavir(LPV/r) in Individuals Experiencing Viremia on Standard Dose LPV/r Using LPV/r Tablet Formulation
Brief Summary	This study will look to see if increasing the standard dose of Kaletra is tolerated and if it will lower viral loads to undetectable levels. This study will also look at the pharmacokinetic data (amount of Kaletra in blood at different times).
Detailed Description	There are several reasons for low level viremia in patients on Kaletra (LPV/r), including poor adherence, incomplete absorption, cellular drug pumps or resistance mutations. Increasing exposure to protease inhibitors via boosting with ritonavir increases minimum blood concentrations, and is a strategy which has been shown to improve suppression of virologic replication. Little is known about the pharmacokinetics (PK), tolerability and safety of increased doses of LPV/r. The objectives of this 24-week single arm pilot study are to assess the PK parameters, safety, tolerability, change in viral load and CD4 counts on increased dose (600/150 and 800/200 mg) LPV/r in participants with low level viremia on standard dose LPV/r-based ART. Participants will undergo six PK samplings over 12 hours on standard dose LPV/r. The dose will be increased to 3 tabs (600/150) BID and blood will be sampled for PK after two weeks. If tolerated at 8 weeks, the dose will be increased to 4 tabs (800/200 mg) BID and final PK sampling will be performed after two weeks. There will be a one time, optional, optimization of background regimen of NRTIs two weeks after the first dose escalation. Major Eligibility Criteria: CD4 count: > 50; Viral load: 200-75,000 on two most recent measures; Current treatment: > 16 weeks standard dose (400/100mg BID) LPV/r-based ART (no other PI or NNRTI allowed; Prior treatment experience and resistance profile: Up to 20-fold resistance to LPV/r
