Capacity of the Dual Combination Raltegravir/Etravirine to Maintain Virological Success in HIV-1 Infected Patients of at Least 45 Years of Age- ANRS 163 ETRAL
brief summary
This multicenter, international, non randomized (single arm), open, phase II trial aims to evaluate the capacity of the dual combination raltegravir/etravirine to maintain virological success in virologically suppressed HIV-1 infected patients, of at least 45 years of age, switching from a boosted PI-containing regimen. Patients will be followed for 96 weeks. The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants with virological success at 48 weeks. Virological success is defined as the absence of 2 consecutive plasma viral load \>50 copies/mL within 2 to 4 weeks apart. The study was designed to show an efficacy \>90%, assuming a success rate \>95%, with a power of 80% and a 5%type-1 error. A total of 160 individuals was required to achieve the objective. The principal secondary endpoint is the proportion of patients in therapeutic success up to week 48 and 96.
