TOTEM: Switch From Other Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) to Once Daily Truvada - Full Text View

Purpose

This study looked at lipid changes in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infected patients when the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in their existing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimen were switched to Truvada® (a fixed dose combination tablet of emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 200 mg/300 mg [FTC/TDF]). Subjects continued their nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or protease inhibitor (PI) at the same dose.

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Truvada Truvada once daily with continuation of the current NNRTI or PI at randomization	Drug: Truvada Truvada + NNRTI or PI.
Active Comparator: Maintain Baseline Regimen Maintain baseline regimen	Drug: Current HAART regimen Maintain baseline regimen
Experimental: Delayed Truvada Truvada once daily with NNRTI or PI (participants from the comparator group who switched to Truvada during Study Phase 2)	Drug: Truvada Truvada + NNRTI or PI.
Experimental: All Truvada Truvada once daily with NNRTI or PI (all participants who received Truvada during the study, i.e., participants in the Truvada and Delayed Truvada groups)	Drug: Truvada Truvada + NNRTI or PI.

Detailed Description:

This was a Phase IV, multicenter (in France), open label study. The study was conducted in two phases: a comparative randomized phase, which served the primary objective of the study, and a follow-up phase.

Study Phase 1, Day -14 to Week 12: patients were randomized on a 1:1 basis to one of two groups:

A. Truvada (substitution of their current NRTIs by Truvada [FTC/TDF] with continuation of their current NNRTI or PI at the same dose)
B. Maintain Baseline Regimen (continuation of previous HAART regimen, i.e., maintained baseline regimen).

This phase of the study served the primary objective of the study.

Study Phase 2, roll-over follow-up, Week 12 to Week 48: Patients in the Truvada group continued with Truvada + an NNRTI or PI. Patients in the control group could switch their NRTIs to Truvada in this phase of the study (Delayed Truvada group).

Patients were assessed for efficacy and safety during both phases of the study.
