Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Multicenter Randomized Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Lower Dose Atazanavir /Ritonavir (ATV/r 200/100 OD) Versus Standard Dose (ATV/r 300/100 mg OD) in Combination With 2NRTIs in Well Virology Suppressed HIV-infected Adults |

Experimental: 1
ATV/r 200 mg/100 mg OD
|
Drug: ATV/r
All participants will be randomized to take ATV/r 200 mg/100 mg OD or ATV/r 300/100 mg OD. NRTIs background regimens will remain unchanged if possible. NRTIs background may include zidovudine/lamivudine, zidovudine plus ddI, ddI plus lamivudine, tenofovir plus lamivudine, tenofovir/emtricitabine, zidovudine plus tenofovir. NRTI backbone could be switched or modified due to toxicity or intolerance

Experimental: 2
ATV/r 300 mg/100 mg OD
|
Drug: ATV/r
All participants will be randomized to take ATV/r 200 mg/100 mg OD or ATV/r 300/100 mg OD. NRTIs background regimens will remain unchanged if possible. NRTIs background may include zidovudine/lamivudine, zidovudine plus ddI, ddI plus lamivudine, tenofovir plus lamivudine, tenofovir/emtricitabine, zidovudine plus tenofovir. NRTI backbone could be switched or modified due to toxicity or intolerance

- noninferiority [ Time Frame: Dec. 2013 ]ATV/r 200/100 mg will be judged to be non-inferior to ATV 300/100mg if the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportion of patients with virological response between the two groups does not exceed -10%
- viral load [ Time Frame: DEc. 2013 ]A secondary efficacy analysis will explore the impact of changing the lower limit of detection of viral load to <50 copies/mL
- serious adverse events [ Time Frame: Dec. 2013 ]Changes in HDL, LDL, cholesterol, triglycerides and bilirubin, or having grade 3 and 4 laboratory adverse events
