Purpose
The substitution of raltegravir for the NRTIs will result in some reversal of the long term adverse effect of lipodystrophy (specifically peripheral lipoatrophy) that is associated with the chronic use of NRTIs. Changing the HAART regimen in patients with a sustained virological response from a PI plus NRTI to a regimen of the PI plus raltegravir will likely result in continued virologic efficacy.

Further study details as provided by Southern California Institute for Research and Education:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Determine if the substitution of raltegravir for 2 NRTI's in patients with evidence of peripheral lipoatrophy and who have sustained HIV virological suppression will result in evidence of an increased in volume of peripheral fat within one year. [ Time Frame: one year ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Determining whether the patients will continue to have sustained virological suppression upon switching to a raltegravir-based regimen. [ Time Frame: eighteen months ]
- Determining what, if any, adverse effects the patients may develop.. [ Time Frame: eighteen months ]

Intervention Details:
Detailed Description:
-
Drug: Raltegravir
60 tablets (30-day supply)
A prospective, non-controlled, non-randomized, single center study of a treatment regimen of a protease inhibitor or a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor in combination with raltegravir in patients with HIV-1 infection who have been, and continue to be, fully controlled on a standard HAART regimen of a PI or an NNRTI plus 2 NRTIs, and the effect of the change in regimen on peripheral fat distribution.
This pilot study will contain 30 patients who will be followed over a period of one year starting from the date of the medication change from an NRTI-based regimen to a raltegravir-based NRTI-sparing regimen. Potential changes in fat distribution (fat content as assessed by fat volume) will be measured with serial MRI's of the thighs.
