IRIS HIV |
IMPAACT P1073 is a prospective clinical, observational and pathogenesis study of HIV-infected infants and children who are ART-naïve and will be initiating a HAART regimen at an IMPAACT study site. Where possible, infants and children co-enrolled in IMPAACT studies will be given preference for enrollment in P1073.
The plan is to enroll subjects in P1073 at a timepoint ≤ 1 week prior to starting HAART. For DMC purposes, this is Step 1 for P1073, and subjects are designated as a Non-case, according to the Study Flow Chart
Study Type : | Observational |
Actual Enrollment : | 207 participants |
Time Perspective: | Prospective |
Official Title: | IMPAACT P1073: Study Of Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) For International Sites Initiating Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) In Infants And Children < 72 Months Of Age |
Study Start Date : | November 2010 |
Actual Primary Completion Date : | February 2013 |
Actual Study Completion Date : | October 2013 |

- Proportion of study subjects having BCG-related IRIS within 48 weeks of initiating HAART. [ Time Frame: within 48 weeks of iniating HAART ]
- Proportion of study subjects having unmasking and paradoxical TB-related IRIS within 48 weeks of initiating HAART. [ Time Frame: Within 48 weeks of initiating HAART ]
- Nadir CD4 T-cell count and percentage and plasma viral load pre-HAART initiation, and two weeks post-HAART and CD4 T-cell count and percentage and plasma viral load at the presumptive BCG or TB-IRIS event, for CASES and the matching controls. [ Time Frame: At Study Entry, 2 weeks post-HAART and within 48 weeks of initiating HAART ]
- CD4 T-cell count and percentage and plasma viral load, 48 weeks post-HAART initiation for CASES and the matching controls. [ Time Frame: 48 weeks post-HAART ]
- Frequency of all IRIS-like events and proportion attributed to BCG or TB. [ Time Frame: within 48 weeks of initiating HAART ]

Sampling Method: | Probability Sample |
Inclusion Criteria
-
Past or current documentation of a confirmed diagnosis of HIV-1 infection. Documentation of HIV-1 infection is defined as positive results from two samples collected at different time points. All samples tested must be whole blood, serum, or plasma.
- Sample #1 may be tested by non-study public or PEPFAR programs. However, both the result and the assay date must be recorded in subject's chart. Source documentation (patient's medical record/chart, Ministry of Health (MOH) registers, laboratory results, etc.) must be available if requested.
- Sample #2 must be performed in a CAP/CLIA-approved laboratory (for US sites) or in a laboratory that operates according to GCLP guidelines and participates in an appropriate external quality assurance program (for international sites).
-
For P1073, the subject may be enrolled before the result of Sample #2 is available. However, the subject will be taken off study should the 2nd result be negative.
-
Acceptable tests when subjects are ≤ 18 months of age
-
Sample #1 may be tested using any of the following: One HIV DNA PCR; One quantitative HIV RNA PCR (>5,000 copies/mL); One qualitative HIV RNA PCR; One total HIV nucleic acid test
**If Sample #1 is positive, collect and test Sample #2.
- Sample #2 may be tested using any of the assays listed above for Sample #1.
-
-
Acceptable tests when subjects are > 18 months of age
-
Sample #1 may be tested using any of the following: Two rapid antibody tests from different manufacturers or based on different principles and epitopes; One EIA OR Western Blot OR immunofluorescence OR chemiluminescence; One HIV DNA PCR; One quantitative HIV RNA PCR (>5,000 copies/mL; One qualitative HIV RNA PCR; One HIV culture (prior to August 2009); One total HIV nucleic acid test
**If Sample #1 is positive, then collect and test Sample #2.
-
Sample #2 may be tested using any of the following: One EIA confirmed by Western Blot OR immunofluorescence OR chemiluminescence; One HIV DNA PCR; One quantitative HIV RNA PCR (>5,000 copies/mL); One qualitative HIV RNA PCR; One HIV culture (prior to August 2009;)One total HIV nucleic acid test
- Rapid antibody tests are not allowed for sample #2
-
-
-
Age: range is ≥ 4 weeks to < 72 months of age at time of HAART initiation.
*All infants and children ≥ 4 weeks to < 72 months of age, who are about to initiate HAART according to National or WHO criteria, are eligible.
- HIV-infected infants and children who meet the ART guidelines of local programs or an IMPAACT or other protocol and who can be enrolled ≤ 1 week prior to starting HAART.
- No known active untreated opportunistic infection.
- Infants ≤ 12 months of age should have received BCG immunization and the date of BCG vaccine has to be known.
- Legal guardian able and willing to provide signed informed consent for participating in the IRIS study.
Exclusion Criteria
-Any clinically significant diseases (other than HIV infection) e.g. malignancy, auto-immune or inflammatory diseases requiring long-term immunosuppressive therapy, or clinically significant findings during the screening medical history or physical examination that, in the investigator's opinion, would compromise the outcome of this study.
