The St. Marys and The Mater Switch Study - Full Text View

Purpose

The aim of the study is to determine whether switching from an antiretroviral regimen containing abacavir and/or didanosine to one containing maraviroc will lead to a reduction in platelet reactivity and inflammatory markers at weeks 12 and 24 thereby conferring a reduction in cardiac risk.

In addition the study will assess the efficacy of a maraviroc containing regimen in combination with a boosted protease inhibitor in terms of tolerability and achieving long term viral suppression as assessed at week 48.

The investigators hypothesize that there will be a rapid reduction in platelet reactivity on switching to maraviroc and that a boosted protease inhibitor in combination with maraviroc will provide a safe and efficacious antiretroviral regimen enabling a reduction in cardiac risk whilst maintaining virological suppression.
