CSP #512 - Options in Management with Anti-Retrovirals (OPTIMA) Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified medical advice, visits or professional assistance with a genuine dr.. We are not doctors. Always consult your mD about CSP #512 - Options in Management with Anti-Retrovirals (OPTIMA) conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. CSP #512 - Options in Management with Anti-Retrovirals (OPTIMA) Clinical research trials and CSP #512 - Options in Management with Anti-Retrovirals (OPTIMA) medical trials take place in many of places throughout the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the effectiveness of new does drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve specific human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to find cures for all varieties of conditions, like CSP #512 - Options in Management with Anti-Retrovirals (OPTIMA). CSP #512 - Options in Management with Anti-Retrovirals (OPTIMA) Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to have health treatment options before they are available to the masses. Many times the human subjects acquire professional assistance for free of charge, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a CSP #512 - Options in Management with Anti-Retrovirals (OPTIMA) clinical trial. Test subjects typically obtain the finest healthcare available for their CSP #512 - Options in Management with Anti-Retrovirals (OPTIMA) condition. Dangers are a reality, nevertheless, and might include additional or frequent doctor trips, medical dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

CSP #512 - Options in Management with Anti-Retrovirals (OPTIMA)
For Condition: HIV Infections,AIDS
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Department of Veterans Affairs , Department of Veterans Affairs Cooperative Studies Program,Medical Research Council,Canadian Institutes of Health Research
Synopsis: This 'pragmatic' trial is a 2X2 open randomized study of patients in advanced HIV disease who have failed on conventional HAART (Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy) regimens including all three classes of anti-HIV drugs. The first randomization will allocate patients to an intended 3-month antiretroviral drug-free period (ARDFP) or No ARDFP. The second randomization will allocate patients to Mega-ART (5+ drugs) or to Standard-ART (up to 4 drugs). The total study duration is 3.5 years with 2.5 years of intake and 1 year (minimum) of follow-up; median duration of patient follow-up is 2 years. The target sample size is 1700 patients and will provide 80% power to detect a 30% reduction in the hazard rate for the primary endpoint with mega-ART. Seventy-seven sites will be participating in the trial--30 VA, 25 UK and 22 Canada.
Details: Primary Hypothesis: Compared to patients in Standard Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), patients in Mega-ART assuming full compliance, will experience a 30% reduction in the hazard of reaching a clinical endpoint (AIDS event or death). Secondary Hypotheses: Time to development of a new, non-HIV related serious adverse event, health related quality of life, the incidence of grade 3 or 4 clinical or laboratory adverse events and changes in virological and immunological markers (CD4 cell count, viral load, resistance profiles) will vary between the different treatment strategies. Primary Endpoint: 1. Time to development of a new or recurrent AIDS event, or time to death Secondary Endpoint: 1. Time to development of a new non HIV-related serious adverse event Other Outcomes: 1. Quality of life 2. Incidence of grade 3 or 4 clinical or laboratory adverse events 3. Changes in CD4 counts, viral load, resistance patterns 4. Process measures including hematologic profiles, electrolytes, renal, liver and pancreatic function and lipid levels. Interventions: Eligible patients will be randomized to one of four treatment strategy arms: a. No Antiretroviral Drug-Free Period (No ARDFP) and Standard-ART b. No Antiretroviral Drug-Free Period (No ARDFP) and Mega-ART c. Antiretroviral Drug-Free Period (ARDFP) and Standard-ART d. Antiretroviral Drug-Free Period (ARDFP) and Mega-ART Note: The 'first' randomization will be ARDFP vs No ARDFP. Patients randomized to No ARDFP will receive their 'second' randomization at the same time. However, patients randomized to an Antiretroviral Drug Free Period (ARDFP) will receive their 'second' randomized assignment (Standard or Mega-ART) at the end of the ARDFP. Study Abstract: This 'pragmatic' trial is a 2X2 open randomized study of patients in advanced HIV disease who have failed on conventional HAART (Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy) regimens including all three classes of anti-HIV drugs. The first randomization will allocate patients to an intended 3-month antiretroviral drug-free period (ARDFP) or No ARDFP. The second randomization will allocate patients to Mega-ART (5+ drugs) or to Standard-ART (up to 4 drugs). The total study duration is 3.5 years with 2.5 years of intake and 1 year (minimum) of follow-up; median duration of patient follow-up is 2 years. The target sample size is 1700 patients and will provide 80% power to detect a 30% reduction in the hazard rate for the primary endpoint with mega-ART. Seventy-seven sites will be participating in the trial--30 VA, 25 UK and 22 Canada. This is the first trial of a Tri-National collaboration effort between the UK MRC, the Canadian CIHR and the VA CSP. The OPTIMA Trial was reviewed and approved by CSEC on October 12, 2000. The pre-kickoff meeting was held on March 21, 2001 in Washington, DC. The VA study kickoff meeting was held in Dallas, TX on May 16-18, 2001 and the Canadian kickoff was held in Toronto on May 29, 2001. The UK will have individual site initiation. As of October 16, 2002 there have been 136 patients enrolled in OPTIMA, at 60 sites in the three countries (110 in the VA, 19 in Canada and 7 in the UK). To date there are 60 sites actively participating in the study (25 in the VA, 15 in UK and 20 in Canada).
