DART I - A Phase IV Study of 3 Antiretroviral Medicines in Combination, in HIV Patients Who Have Not Been Previously Treated With Antiretroviral Therapy - Full Text View

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a therapy with an all once daily regimen of efavirenz (EFV), didanosine (ddI)-EC and lamivudine (3TC) leads to improved outcomes, as measured by viral load, CD4 counts, adherence, safety, and tolerability.

Study Design:	Allocation: Non-Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title:	Daily Antiretroviral Therapy (DART 1): An Open-Label, Single-Arm, Prospective, Multicenter Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Didanosine Enteric Coated (Ddl-EC) in Combination With Lamivudine (3TC) and Efavirenz (EFV) Once Daily in Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) Naive HIV-Infected Patients

Primary Outcome Measures:

Estimate efficacy of ddI-EC/3TC/EFV given QD determined by proportion of patients with plasma HIV-1 RNA <400 copies/mL at 48 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Evaluate proportion of patients with plasma HIV RNA <400 copies/mL at Weeks 24, 48, 72, and 96.
Evaluate proportion of patients with plasma HIV RNA <50 copies/mL at Weeks 24, 48, 72, and 96
Determine viral suppression of plasma HIV RNA from change in baseline at week 48
Determine proportion of patients whose HIV viral load doesn't drop to undetectable level within 24 weeks
Evaluate time to undetectable plasma HIV RNA
Evaluate proportion of patients demonstrating virologic breakthrough
Evaluate proportion of patients demonstrating virologic failure
Evaluate time to virologic breakthrough and virologic failure
Measure magnitude and durability of changes in CD4 cell counts
Evaluate patient adherence with QD regimen using pill counts and AMAF
Determine pattern and emergence of HIV genotype resistance mutations in patients experiencing virologic failure
Explore QoL changes using MOS-HIV health survey
Evaluate safety and tolerability of QD regimen
