PROTOCOL TITLE EPOCH (Etoposide, Prednisone, Vincristine,
Cyclophosphamide, and Doxorubicin)
Chemotherapy +/- IL-12 for Previously
Untreated and EPOCH Plus Rituximub for
Previously Treated Patients with
AIDS-Associated Lymphoma.
TRIAL CATEGORY AIDS-Related Malignancies
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR Richard Little
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To investigate the toxicity and
activity of interleukin-12 (IL-12) following
chemotherapy with EPOCH (i.e., etoposide
[VP-16], prednisone, vincristine [VCR],
cyclophosphamide [CPM], and doxorubicin
[DOX]) or other chemotherapy in patients with
AIDS-associated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that
is either untreated and newly diagnosed or
previously treated and recurrent, following 1
prior chemotherapy regimen. To examine the
effect of EPOCH and/or IL-12 on HIV-1 load,
CD4+ cell number, and TH1 and TH2 functional
CD4+ subtypes. To evaluate the toxicity and
activity of EPOCH in these patients. To
assess the molecular markers of drug
resistance (i.e., p53, p16, bcl-2, and MIB-1)
and lymphomagenesis (i.e., c-myc, EBV, and
HHV-8) in tumor tissue.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: It has been shown that infusional
chemotherapy with EPOCH is well tolerated and
active in the treatment of non-AIDS lymphoma.
Investigational studies suggest that the
three drugs found in EPOCH (VP-16, DOX, and
VCR) may be more effective and less toxic in
the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma when
administered as an infusion over 4 days than
when given by standard delivery methods.
Studies in lab animals suggest that IL-12 may
improve the immune function of T-cells,
helping them fight HIV infection, and may
also shrink certain tumors.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Previously untreated patients
initially receive EPOCH chemotherapy, as
follows: Days 1-4: VP-16 plus DOX plus VCR as
a 96-hour continuous infusion. Days 1-5:
Prednisone daily. Day 5: CPM for Course 1
only. Days 6-19 (or until post nadir absolute
neutrophil count greater than 5,000
cells/mm3): G-CSF daily. Courses repeat every
3 weeks for a total of 6 courses. Patients
who achieve a complete response are
randomized to receive IL-12 biweekly for 12
weeks or no further therapy. Patients who
exhibit residual or progressive disease
following 6 courses of chemotherapy receive
IL-12 biweekly for 24 weeks. Previously
treated patients receive IL-12 biweekly,
beginning at least 21 days following the last
course of chemotherapy.

PROTOCOL TITLE The Effect of Oral and Injectable
Contraceptives (Norethindrone/Ethinyl
Estradiol, Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) and
Gender on Plasma and Intracellular Zidovudine
Pharmacokinetics.
TRIAL CATEGORY Asymptomatic
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR Francesca Aweeka
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: [AS PER AMENDMENT 11/13/00: To
investigate differences in zidovudine (ZDV)
metabolism and intracellular pharmacokinetics
between male and female patients.] To
evaluate the potential effects of concomitant
oral contraceptives and intramuscularly
administered medroxyprogesterone acetate on
ZDV metabolism and intracellular
pharmacokinetics in women.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Oral contraceptives have been
shown to substantially enhance the
glucuronidation of several compounds. One
study reported enhanced glucuronidation of
oxazepam, a compound that is conjugated via
the same UDP-glucuronyl transferase isozyme
responsible for ADV glucuronidation,
suggesting that ZDV metabolism may be altered
by concomitant oral contraceptive use. This
potential enhancement of ZDV metabolism by
oral contraceptives is expected to result in
decreased plasma levels of the parent
compound which may lead to diminished
clinical efficacy in women using these drugs.
It remains unclear whether the progesterone
and/or estrogen component of oral
contraceptives results in the observed
glucuronidation changes.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: This open-label, pharmacokinetic
trial is conducted in 2 steps. [AS PER
AMENDMENT 6/12/01: The Depo-Provera IM group
in Step 2 is filled. Female patients who
choose to participate in Step 2 may enroll
only in the Ortho-Novum 1/35 PO group.] [AS
PER AMENDMENT 11/13/00: Female patients may
choose to participate in Step 1 alone or both
Steps 1 and 2.] Male patients may participate
in Step 1 only as the control arm of the
study. In Step 1, patients are stratified by
sex; in Step 2, female patients are
stratified by their choice of contraception
(i.e., oral norethindrone/ethinyl estradiol
[Ortho-Novum 1/35] or injectable
medroxyprogesterone acetate [Depo-Provera]).
Step 1 (males and females): At entry, all
patients are randomized to receive ZDV either
orally or orally and intravenously (IV) on
Days 7 and 8. Female patients begin the study
(Day 0) between days 10-18 after the first
day of their last menstrual period (LMP)
(Cycle 1). At time of enrollment, female
patients [AS PER AMENDMENT 11/13/00: who plan
to participate in Step 2] choose the form of
birth control instituted in Step 2:
Depo-Provera or Ortho-Novum 1/35. Male
patients may enter Step 1 at any time.
Patients continue taking their other
pre-study antiretroviral drugs during Step 1.
[AS PER AMENDMENT 6/3/99: Patients taking
nelfinavir may participate only in the
Depo-Provera arm.] Days 0-6: All patients
receive oral ZDV. Day 7: Patients are
randomized to receive: Arm 1 (females): oral
ZDV for a total of 3 doses. Arm 2 (females):
ZDV IV, then ZDV orally for a total of 2 oral
doses. Arm 3 (males): control arm. Half of
the male patients receive ZDV as in Arm 1 and
the other male patients receive ZDV as in Arm
2. Day 8: Patients on all 3 arms receive the
alternate form of ZDV to that received on Day
7. Day 9: Female patients resume their
pre-study method of administration of ZDV.
Male patients conclude their participation in
the study on Day 8. Step 2 (females [AS PER
AMENDMENT 11/13/00: opting to participate in
Step 2]): At the onset of their second
menstrual period (Cycle 2) since starting
study, female patients start their choice of
Ortho-Novum 1/35 or intramuscularly
administered Depo-Provera [AS PER AMENDMENT
6/12/01: Enrollment for Depo-Provera is
closed]. Contraceptive therapy continues
throughout Step 2. Step 2 Days 0-6: Between
days 7-11 [AS PER AMENDMENT 6/3/99: Between
days 7-18] of the third menstrual cycle
(Cycle 3) since starting study, female
patients continue their pre-study
antiretroviral therapy (as done in Step 1)
and begin another course of ZDV standard
therapy 3 times daily. Days 7-8: Patients
receive the original method of administration
of ZDV (as randomized at study entry). Female
patients return for a final safety visit
within 1 week of completing study Day 8 of
Step 2.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase I/II, Open-Label, AUC-Controlled
Study to Determine the Pharmacokinetics,
Safety, Tolerability, and Antiviral Activity
of DMP 266 (Efavirenz) in Combination With
Nelfinavir in Children.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR Courtney Fletcher
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CO-CHAIR Stuart Starr
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: [AS PER AMENDMENT 5/26/98: Cohort
I:] To determine the dosing regimen and
safety profile of efavirenz (DMP 266, EFV) in
combination with nelfinavir (NFV) in
children. [AS PER AMENDMENT 5/26/98: Cohort
II: To define the pharmacokinetics and safety
of a liquid preparation of DMP 266 in
combination with NFV in infants and young
children.]
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: The demonstrated antiviral
activity, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic
properties of DMP 266 and its utility in
combination with other agents make DMP 266 an
attractive agent for use in HIV-infected
pediatric patients. However, the tolerability
of DMP 266 in the pediatric population must
be evaluated, and appropriate dosing
instructions need to be developed. By
following the patients over time, the
antiviral activity of DMP 266-containing
regimens will be documented. Dosage
guidelines for children can then be developed
following analysis of the results.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: This is a 48-week [AS PER
AMENDMENT (APA) 12/21/98:104-week] [APA
5/8/00: 208-week] study. It is designed to
minimize the chance that ineffective therapy
is provided (short dose-escalation phase) and
utilizes an area under the concentration time
curve (AUC) to establish plasma levels of DMP
266 and nelfinavir in the pediatric
population that are both tolerable and
efficacious. [APA 5/26/98: Patients are
stratified by age into Cohorts I and II] and
receive EFV concurrently with NFV. [APA
5/26/98: The initial starting dose of DMP 266
for patients in Cohort II is higher than the
initial starting dose for patients in Cohort
I.] [APA 12/21/98: The initial starting dose
for patients in Stratum 1 of Cohort II is
higher than the initial starting dose for
patients in Cohort I and Stratum 2 of Cohort
II.] The initial target AUC for DMP 266 is
between 190 and 380 micromoles/h (uM/h). The
initial starting dose (based on a 70 kg
patient and adjusted for each patient's
weight) for the first 6 patients is adjusted
on the basis of tolerability and plasma
concentrations of DMP 266 after 2 weeks of
daily doses. If at least 4 of the first 6
patients attain a tolerable dose (dose at
which no more than 2 of 6 patients experience
Grade 3 or worse toxicity) and target AUC,
additional patients may continue to be
accrued. However, if any of the initial 6
patients experience life-threatening
toxicity, further accrual is suspended. [APA
5/26/98: An assessment of the tolerability
and plasma concentrations of EFV is not
required in an initial group of Cohort II
patients. Individual dose is based on
pharmacokinetic sampling.] Patients receive a
given starting dose of DMP 266 and continue
on that dose until individual dose
adjustments are needed. If a patient's
starting dose is tolerated but the target AUC
is not achieved, the dose is increased. If
the starting dose is well tolerated and
target AUC achieved, no adjustment in
starting dose is given to future patients. If
no tolerated dose achieving at least an AUC
of 150 micromoles/h is reached in 4 of 6
patients, the study is suspended and
alternative dosing regimens, e.g.,
twice-daily dosing, are considered. A
patient's current dose of DMP 266 is adjusted
based on how the dose is tolerated and
whether the target AUC is achieved. If a
patient does not achieve an AUC of greater
than 110 micromoles/h and experiences Grade 3
or worse toxicity, the patient is
discontinued from the study. [APA 12/21/98:
The dose of NFV is the same for patients in
Cohort I and Stratum 2 of Cohort II; the dose
for patients in Stratum 1 of Cohort II is
higher.] The minimum target AUC for NFV is 10
mg x h/L. Doses are adjusted for an
individual child if AUC falls below threshold
at Week 2 or 6. Children with weight no
greater than 30 kg receive a lower dose than
children with weight greater than 30 kg or
Tanner Stage IV. [APA 5/8/00: The first group
of 6 patients receives the initial dose of
NFV. If none of the 6 patients falls below
the target AUC, the remainder of the sample
is accrued and treated at this dose. If more
than 1 of the 6 patients fall below the
target AUC, then another group of 6 patients
is accrued and treated at the next higher
dose. If exactly 1 of the 6 patients falls
below the target AUC, 2 more patients are
accrued and treated at the same dose. If 1 of
these 2 patients falls below the target AUC,
another group of 6 patients is tested on the
next higher dose. If neither of these 2
patients falls below the target AUC, then the
remainder of the sample is accrued and
treated at this dose. The dose is escalated
until a dose that meets the above criteria is
achieved or further dose escalation is
prohibited due to toxicity.] The duration of
therapy is 48 [APA 12/21/98:104] [APA 5/8/00:
208] weeks.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase I Trial of the Safety, Tolerance, and
Pharmacokinetics of Oral Indinavir
Co-Administered with Lamivudine (3TC) and
Zidovudine (ZDV) in HIV-1-Infected Pregnant
Women During Gestation and Post Partum, and
in Their Infants Post Maternal Dosing.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Pregnancy
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR Diana Wara
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CO-CHAIR Yvonne Bryson
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To assess the pharmacokinetics,
safety, tolerance, and efficacy of indinavir
when given in combination with lamivudine
(3TC) and zidovudine (ZDV) to HIV-1-infected
pregnant women. To assess the
pharmacokinetics of indinavir in cord and
neonatal samples following maternal dosing
and the safety and tolerance of prior
maternal dosing in the newborn. To assess the
antiviral effect and durability of the
combination of indinavir, 3TC, and ZDV in
reducing maternal plasma HIV RNA levels.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Despite the dramatic reduction of
perinatal HIV transmission following the
administration of ZDV to mothers and infants,
new, more effective strategies are needed. An
increasing number of women may require
combination antiretroviral therapy for their
own disease because they may be resistant to
ZDV, may have high viral loads, or may have
previously transmitted HIV to an infant while
on ZDV monotherapy. The initiation of triple
combination therapy, including a protease
inhibitor indinavir, during gestation may be
the most effective in reducing maternal virus
load prior to delivery, thereby potentially
benefitting both mother and child.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Women: Antepartum (until active
labor): Indinavir plus 3TC plus ZDV.
Intrapartum (active labor until cord
clamping): 3TC plus ZDV. Postpartum (after
cord clamped to 12 weeks): Indinavir plus 3TC
plus ZDV. Infants: 3TC plus ZDV as soon as
oral intake is tolerated (preferably within
12 hours of birth) and continuing for 6
weeks. [AS PER AMENDMENT 1/27/99: For
maternal dosing, one Combivir tablet bid can
be substituted for the individual formulation
of 3TC and ZDV. For mothers who receive
Combivir during the antepartum period,
Combivir is held during labor and delivery,
and the separate formulations of ZDV and 3TC
are used. Patiens who prematurely discontinue
study treatment should continue to be
followed on study for the duration of the
study.].

PROTOCOL TITLE A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Study
of an Increased Caloric Density Infant
Formula and Its Effect on Growth and
Nutritional Status in HIV-Infected Infants.
TRIAL CATEGORY Asymptomatic
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR Harland S Winter
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CO-CHAIR James Oleske
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine whether caloric
supplementation with 25.7 kcal/oz study
formula as compared with standard study
formula (20 kcal/oz), started within the
first 14 days of life in HIV-infected
infants, results in improved growth as
measured by weight and length at 28 weeks. To
determine the effect of nutritional
supplementation on head circumference as an
indicator of cerebral growth at 28 weeks. To
evaluate both short-term (8 weeks) and
long-term (28 weeks) tolerability of a
concentrated formula as compared to standard
formula in HIV-exposed infants. To determine
the effect of nutritional supplementation on
immunologic status as measured by CD3+CD4+
and CD3+CD8+ lymphocyte count, the occurrence
of opportunistic infections, and on
parent/guardian reported quality of life.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: In order to meet the optimal
nutritional needs of HIV-infected infants, it
is critical that nutritional intervention
begin early. Early nutritional intervention
may help reduce the susceptibility to or
severity of primary HIV and/or opportunistic
infections and add to the quality of life for
children perinatally infected with HIV.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: In this double-blind, controlled
study perinatally HIV-exposed infants less
than 15 days old at time of study entry are
randomized to one of two arms to receive
either concentrated formula or standard
formula for 8 weeks after being stratified by
gestational age: less than 37 versus greater
than 37 completed weeks. At the 8-week visit
using a previously determined 8:1 random
allocation, 89% of singleton infants with
negative HIV-specific tests are discontinued
from study treatment and further follow-up.
The other 11% of these singleton infants with
negative HIV-specific tests continue study
treatment with open-label standard formula
until Week 28 (control group). Singleton
infants with positive HIV-specific tests
continue on the blinded portion of study and
receive formula as initially assigned until
Week 28. For a given multiple birth, if any
of the infants at the 8-week study visit are
determined to be infected, all the infants
from that birth continue their initial
blinded treatment assignment until Week 28;
if none of the infants are determined to be
infected at this time, all the infants from
that birth continue study treatment with

PROTOCOL ID NUMBERS NIAID ACTG 326
PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase I/II Study to Evaluate the Safety and
Immunogenicity of ALVAC HIV Vaccines Alone
and with AIDSVAX B/B in Children Born to
HIV-Infected Mothers.
TRIAL CATEGORY Asymptomatic
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Vaccine
TRIAL CATEGORY Preventative HIV Vaccine
TRIAL CATEGORY Therapeutic AIDS Vaccine
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR John Lambert
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CO-CHAIR Daniel Johnson
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine the safety and
immunogenicity of live recombinant Canarypox
HIV ALVAC vaccine alone or in combination
with a subunit vaccine in infants who are of
indeterminate status born to HIV-infected
women. [AS PER AMENDMENT 11/5/97: To
determine the safety and immunogenicity of
live recombinant Canarypox HIV ALVAC vaccine
(vCP205) in infants who are of indeterminate
status born to HIV-infected women.] [AS PER
AMENDMENT 9/9/99: To determine the safety and
immunogenicity of live recombinant Canarypox
ALVAC HIV vaccines (vCP205 and vCP1452) alone
and in combination with AIDSVAX B/E gp120 in
infants who are of indeterminate status born
to HIV-infected women. To evaluate humoral
and cell-mediated responses, including
cytotoxic T cell and lymphoproliferative
responses to HIV-specific antigens and
non-HIV antigens in immunized infants.] [AS
PER AMENDMENT 1/24/00: AIDSVAX B/E has been
replaced with AIDSVAX B/B.]
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Transmission of HIV from an
untreated infected mother to her offspring is
thought to occur to some infants perinatally
and others at parturition. It is possible
that administration of an immunogenic vaccine
can reduce the vertical transmission of HIV-1
or moderate its course in infected infants.
Successful early sensitization to HIV
epitopes might succeed in preventing HIV
infection. Alternately, the enhancement of
HIV-specific immune function might also
succeed in modifying HIV replication and
affecting disease progression.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Sixty infants are treated in
this randomized, double-blind study; 45
infants receive recombinant Canarypox virus,
ALVAC-HIV vCP205, and 15 receive placebo.
Mothers serve as proxy for their infants. All
infants receive a minimum of four
immunizations, at Weeks 0 (within 72 hours of
birth), 4, 8, and 12. Initially, 24 patients
are randomized to receive one of two doses of
vCP205 or a saline placebo. When a suitable
subunit vaccine is available, the protocol
will be amended and 36 additional infants
will be randomized to receive vCP205 alone or
with a subunit vaccine at Weeks 4 and 8 (or
vaccine placebo with or without subunit
placebo). [AS PER AMENDMENT 11/5/97: 18
infants receive ALVAC-HIV vCP205 at one of
two doses and 6 receive placebo.] [AS PER
AMENDMENT 9/9/99: Cohort 1 received vCP205.
Cohort 2 received a higher dose of vCP205.
Cohort A received vCP205 placebo (saline).
Cohorts 1, 2, and A were double-blinded and
closed to accrual in March 1999. As of
September 1999, infants are randomized to one
of four new cohorts. Cohort 3 receives
vCP1452 at Weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12. Cohort 4
receives vCP1452 at Weeks 0 and 4, then
receives vCP1452 plus AIDSVAX B/E gp120 at
Weeks 8 and 12. Cohort B receives vCP1452
placebo at Weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12. Cohort C
receives vCP1452 placebo at Weeks 0 and 4,
then receives vCP1452 placebo plus AIDSVAX
B/E placebo at Weeks 8 and 12. All infants
are followed every 2 weeks for the first 14
weeks of life, and then every 6 months until
age 2. Cord blood is used to establish
autologous B cell lines, and CTL assays are
performed to characterize the immune response
to HIV. In addition, CD4 count, viral load,
and mucosal antibody responses are measured.
Immunized infants who are not infected with
HIV serve as controls for the immunogenicity
of the vaccines in the infected infants.] [AS
PER AMENDMENT 1/24/00: AIDSVAX B/E has been
replaced with AIDSVAX B/B.].

PROTOCOL TITLE Phase I/II Trial of CD4-IgG2 in HIV-Infected
Children.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR William Shearer
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CO-CHAIR Stuart Starr
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: Part 1: To determine the safety,
toxicity, and pharmacokinetics of single-dose
CD4-IgG2 in HIV-infected children. To
determine the anti-HIV effects of single-dose
CD4-IgG2 in HIV-infected children. Part 2: To
determine the safety, toxicity, and
pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of
CD4-IgG2 in HIV-infected children. To
determine the anti-HIV effects of multiple
doses of CD4-IgG2 in HIV-infected children.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Since CD4 is the high-affinity
receptor for HIV-1, molecules such as
CD4-IgG2, which incorporate the gp120 binding
region of CD4, have the potential to bind and
neutralize all strains of the virus. [AS PER
AMENDMENT 4/25/00: Study results have
demonstrated that the product is safe in
children, well tolerated, and may have
antiviral properties. With these encouraging
results in hand, an extra cohort has been
added using twice the dose of rCD4-IgG2 as in
Cohort I.]
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: The study is conducted in two
parts. In Part 1 patients receive a single
dose of CD4-IgG2 intravenously at 1 of 4 dose
levels. A minimum of 3 patients are treated
at a given dose level. If none of these 3
patients experience Grade 3 or 4 toxicity,
patients are escalated to the next dose
level. If any of these 3 patients have
life-threatening toxicities or if more than 1
of these 3 patients experience
non-life-threatening Grade 3 or 4 toxicities,
escalation stops and the prior dose (if any)
is considered the maximum tolerated dose
(MTD). If 1 of these 3 patients experiences
non-life-threatening Grade 3 or 4 toxicities,
3 additional patients are treated at this
dose level. If 1 or more of these 3
additional patients has Grade 3 or 4
toxicity, escalation stops. If none of these
3 additional patients has Grade 3 or 4
toxicity, patients are escalated to the next
dose level. Part 2 provides additional data
on the safety, toxicity and pharmacokinetics
of CD4-IgG2 when given in multiple doses.
Patients receive the highest safe dose (MTD)
as established in Part 1. Treatment is given
intravenously once weekly at Weeks 0, 1, 2,
and 3. If insufficient activity is seen at
this dose level, 6 additional patients will
be enrolled at a higher dose level. Patients
who participate in Part 1 may enroll in Part
2 provided they are followed for at least 3
months and meet inclusion criteria for Part
2. If any patient experiences a
life-threatening condition due to CD4-IgG2,
the study will stop. [AS PER AMENDMENT
4/25/00: Cohort II receives twice the dose of
Cohort I intravenously once weekly at Weeks
0, 1, 2 and 3. Pharmacokinetic samples are
obtained at pre-dose and 1 hour after the
doses are administered at Weeks 0, 1, and 2;
and pre-dose, 1 hour, 24 hours, and Days 3,
7, and 14 after the dose are administered at
Week 3. An overnight stay in the hospital is
recommended for the first 24 hours. At Weeks
0, 1, 2, and 3, virology testing including
HIV-1 RNA is performed with each infusion of
CD4-IgG. Follow-up monitoring of patients is
done once a month for 4 months for patients
in Cohort II.].

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase I/II Study of Ritonavir Therapy in
HIV-1 Infected Infants and Children.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR Ram Yogev
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CO-CHAIR Ellen Chadwick
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To assess the pharmacokinetics,
safety, and tolerance of single and multiple
oral doses of ritonavir monotherapy, and in
combination with lamivudine (3TC) and
zidovudine (ZDV) in HIV-1 infected infants
and children; and any age-related differences
thereof. To ascertain a dose of ritonavir
which may be suitable for the Phase II/III
evaluation of ritonavir in combination with
3TC and ZDV in HIV-1 infected infants and
children younger than age 2. To evaluate the
antiretroviral activity and the immunological
effect of multiple doses of ritonavir
administered in combination therapy.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: As a group, vertically infected
children experience more rapid disease
progression than children infected at an
older age or adults. The early administration
of potent antiretroviral regimens might
significantly impact the course of vertical
HIV-1 infection.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Infants and children are
stratified by age, representative of the
developmental differences related to drug
metabolism (Group I: at least 6 months - 2
years, Group II: 3-6 months, Group IIIA: 1
month - 10 weeks, IIIB: 1 month - less than 3
months). Within each age group there will be
two possible dosage cohorts. All age groups
will be enrolled simultaneously into dosage
Cohort I, at the initial drug dosage.
Progression to Cohort II (at a higher or
lower drug dosage) will be decided according
to safety, tolerance or viral load in Cohort
I. All therapy for Group I/II, whether in
Cohort I or II, will be introduced as
follows: single dose of ritonavir on Day 0,
ritonavir monotherapy through Day 7 AM and
combination therapy from Day 7 PM through
Week 104. All therapy for Group IIIA & IIIB,
whether in Cohort I or II, will be introduced
as follows: single dose of ritonavir on Day 0
AM and transition to combination therapy Day
0 PM through Week 104. NOTE: Progression to
combination therapy for Group IIIA infants is
dependent upon the results of the single-dose
ritonavir pharmacokinetics (PK). If the
patient is no longer at least presumed to be
HIV-infected, he/she will be discontinued
from the study. Replacement infants, who will
not receive the single dose of ritonavir,
will be acquired from Group IIIB infants; new
infants that are either presumed HIV infected
or have already been shown to be
HIV-infected. Clinical evaluations are
conducted and blood and urine samples
collected regularly during the treatment
period in order to quantify HIV-1 levels and
determine body chemistries. Pharmacokinetic
studies require additional blood sampling up
to Week 16. [AS PER AMENDMENT 6/30/98:
Pharmacokinetics data from Cohort I showed
that the proposed Cohort II starting dose was
too low. The dose for Cohort II is now
increased. All subjects in Groups I, II, and
III will begin combination therapy on Day 0
at the increased dose.] [AS PER AMENDMENT
3/13/00: The study has been extended for an
additional 104 weeks, provided the patient's
viral load is undetectable (below 400
copies/ml) at the end of the initial study
period. While on the treatment extension,
patients must continue their current schedule
for study drug administration and completion
of study visits.].

study period the child is not eligible to
continue on the study extension.].
OTHER TREATMENT INFO. END POINT: Toxicity, virology, resistance.
OTHER TREATMENT INFO. DISCONTINUE: Patients may be discontinued for
the following reasons: 1. Recurrent or
persistent (more than 7 days) [AS PER
AMENDMENT 3/13/00: (more than 14 days)] Grade
III toxicity or any Grade IV toxicity. 2.
Immunological deterioration as evidenced by a
drop in CD4 percentage of 50% or more of the
baseline value confirmed on at least two
measurements that are taken 1 week apart. 3.
There has not been a 1 log reduction or more
in viral load, confirmed by sequential
measurement within 2 weeks, after 1 month of
combination therapy. 4. There has been a 2
log reduction or more from the original viral
load, confirmed by sequential measurement
within 2 weeks and results obtained within 1
month, after 3 months of combination therapy.
5. One log rebound from virologic nadir,
confirmed by sequential measurement. 6.
Parent or legal guardian chooses to withdraw
patient, or is found to be repeatedly
noncompliant with protocol requirements. [7.
AS PER AMENDMENT 3/13/00: A viral load of 400
copies/ml or higher at the end of the initial
104-week study period will cause patients to
be ineligible for the 104-week study
extension.].
OTHER TREATMENT INFO. MODIFICATION: Doses are modified for the
following reason: Specific toxicities. Within
each age group, the progression of the study
to Cohort II is decided according to
patients' tolerance (at any time) or viral
load (at 12 weeks of therapy), in Cohort I as
follows: 1. Unacceptable safety/tolerance at
any time, will close Cohort I completely.
Subsequent patients enrolled to this age
group will be in Cohort II, where there will
be a 20% decrease in ritonavir dose (3TC and
ZDV will remain at initial doses). 2. If
viral load is detectable in 2 patients,
confirmed by sequential measurement within 2
weeks, in a given age group of Cohort I at or
after 3 months of compliant combination
therapy, and toxicity is not an issue, Cohort
II will be opened for new enrollees, in this
age group, with a 20% increased ritonavir
dose.

Persistent Reservoirs of HIV-1 Infection.
TRIAL CATEGORY Asymptomatic
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment Naive
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To define the reservoirs (sites in
the body) of persistent HIV-1 infection in
the setting of antiviral therapy and the
ability of the virus to infect new target
cells. To determine if any of these potential
reservoirs contribute to persistent HIV-1
infection, and whether antiviral therapy can
reverse the effects of HIV infection on CD4+
cell responses, lymph node structure, and
skin testing. To determine the rates of HIV-1
virus load and CD4+ cell turnover in patients
with more than 500 and in patients with less
than 300 CD4+ cells. [AS PER AMENDMENT
2/4/98: To define reservoirs of persistent
HIV-1 infection in the setting of antiviral
therapy and the ability of the virus to
infect new target cells. Define the longevity
of persistent reservoirs of HIV-1 infection.
Determine whether the turnover of potential
persistent reservoirs of infection can be
accelerated through administration of an
intravenous steroid preparation with potent
antiviral medication. Determine the rates of
HIV-1 virus load and CD4+ cell turnover.
Determine whether important aspects of
HIV-1-induced proliferative responses and T
cell antigen receptor repertoire and the
disruption of lymphoid tissue architecture
can be reversed by active suppression of
HIV-1 replication by a potent combination of
antiviral medications.]
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Recent treatment with combination
antiretroviral therapy has been shown to
bring levels of HIV-1 to undetectable levels
in the bloodstream, but the reservoirs of
persistent HIV-1 infection in other locations
in the body are currently unknown.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Two groups of patients [AS PER

PROTOCOL TITLE A Pilot Study of IL-12 as an
Anti-Angiogenesis Agent and Immunostimulator
in Patients with Kaposi's Sarcoma.
TRIAL CATEGORY AIDS-Related Malignancies
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: This protocol's purpose is to test
the possible utility of the cytokine
interleukin-12 (IL-12) in the treatment of
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: IL-12 is a cytokine that plays an
important role in T cell development in the
body. It particularly enhances the
development of TH1 (cellular) immune
responses. HIV-infected patients are usually
deficient in IL-12 production and have a
particular defect in TH1 immune responses.
IL-12 has also been shown to block
angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) and
for this reason is being tested for possible
use in the treatment of KS.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: This clinical trial involves the
administration of IL-12 to patients for 12
weeks or (if they appear to be responding)
for up to 1 year. The drug will be given by
needle subcutaneously twice weekly. Patients
will be observed for an effect of the IL-12
on their KS and for improvement in their
immune function.

PROTOCOL TITLE Phase I Study of Safety, Tolerance, and
Pharmacokinetics of Abacavir (1592U89, ABC)
With Standard Zidovudine (ZDV) Therapy In
Neonates Born to HIV-1 Infected Women.
TRIAL CATEGORY Asymptomatic
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR George Johnson
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CO-CHAIR Andrew Wiznia
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: For single-dose arms: To evaluate
the single oral dose pharmacokinetic profile
of abacavir (ABC, 1592U89) and to determine
the acute toxicity of single-dose
administration of ABC in HIV-1 exposed
infants. For multiple-dose arm: To evaluate
6-week pharmacokinetics, safety, and
tolerance of multiple oral doses of ABC in
combination with zidovudine (ZDV) in HIV-1
exposed infants receiving standard postnatal
ZDV treatment. To determine potential within
patient of age-related differences in the
pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerance of
multiple oral doses of ABC in combination
with ZDV in HIV-1-exposed infants receiving
standard postnatal ZDV treatment. To
determine dosages of ABC that may be suitable
for Phase II/III evaluation of ABC in
combination with ZDV as early therapy in
HIV-infected infants and for postnatal dosing
in perinatal studies.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: The rationale for investigation of
this agent is to define the safety and
pharmacokinetics in young infants to allow
for investigation of the efficacy of this
agent in combination with ZDV as potential
early therapy in newborn and young infants.
The rationale for early aggressive therapy is
that this may be the best chance to
significantly reduce the long-term
progression and subsequent impact of HIV-1
infection in vertically infected infants.
Early ablation or enhanced suppression of
HIV-1 replication may significantly reduce
total viral load and may allow maturation,
preservation, or reconstruction of immune
function at a stage early in infection
providing improved control of HIV-1 infection
and reduced disease progression.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: This study is divided into 3
sections, as follows: Part 1A is a
single-dose study in neonates 0 to 72 hours
of age. If four of four patients reach the
minimal therapeutic level with less than
Grade 3 toxicity, the ABC dose is escalated.
Part 1B is also a single-dose study in
infants 21 to 28 days of age, starting with
the dose identified in Part 1A. If four of
four patients reach the minimal therapeutic
level with less than Grade 3 toxicity, the
dose is escalated again. Finally, Part 2 is a
multi-dose study to examine a dosing regimen
for ABC and ZDV for neonates 0 to 72 hours of
age. The dosing regimen for ABC is the dose
defined in Part 1A for the first 3 weeks (0
to 3 weeks of age) followed by the dose
defined in Part 1B for the second 3 weeks (3
to 6 weeks of age). All patients receive 6
weeks of standard ZDV therapy. [AS PER
AMENDMENT 9/24/97: This study is divided into
sections, as follows: Part 1A is a
single-dose study in neonates 0 to 48 hours
of age. ABC dose escalations are made until a
dose is identified that meets toxicity
guidelines and demonstrates a minimal target
area under the concentration curve (AUC) of
2,000 ng-hr/ml. Part 1B is a similar
single-dose study in infants 3 to 7 days of
age with escalation as per part 1A. Part 1C
is an identical single-dose study in infants
21 to 28 days of age but starting at the dose
identified in Part 1B. Part 2 is a multi-dose
study to examine a 6-week dosing regimen for
ABC and ZDV for infants 0 to 48 hours of age.
The dosing regimen for ABC is defined in Part
1A for the first 48 hours of life, the dose
defined in Part 1B for Days 3 through 20 of
life, and the dose defined in Part 1C for
Days 21 through 42 of life.] [AS PER
AMENDMENT 7/29/98: Enrollment to Parts 1A and
1B will remain open; Part 1A will enroll a
minimum of 4 patients as planned, and Part 1B
will enroll 3 additional patients.].

PROTOCOL TITLE Gene Therapy for AIDS Using Retroviral
Mediated Gene Transfer to Deliver HIV-1
Anti-Sense TAR and Transdominant Rev Protein
Genes to Syngeneic Lymphocytes in HIV-1
Infected Identical Twins.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety, cell
survival, and potential anti-HIV activity of
CD4+ lymphocytes (T4 cells) that have been
obtained from the uninfected, healthy
identical twin of an HIV-infected patient,
then culture-expanded and genetically
engineered with anti-HIV-1 genes (antisense
trans-activation-responsive [TAR] region and
transdominant Rev) before transfusion into
the HIV-infected twin. Methodology: Healthy
CD4+ lymphocytes are obtained from the
uninfected identical twin of an HIV-infected
patient. Cells are expanded in culture for
approximately 10 days, activated to increase
their function, and genetically altered with
both a marker gene (Neomycin resistance gene)
and anti-HIV-1 genes (antisense TAR and
transdominant Rev) that are theoretically
designed to provide intracellular protection
against HIV-1. HIV-infected recipients
receive the genetically-engineered cells via
intravenous infusion. The relative survival
of the engineered T cells is monitored by
vector-specific PCR, and the timing of the
second infusion is determined by when the
signal becomes undetectable, which varies
from patient to patient. The recipients'
functional immune status is monitored by
standard in vitro and in vivo testing
protocols. Patients receive a total of four
infusions at 8-week intervals, with weekly
clinic visits.

deleted: and immunogenicity] of
live-attenuated varicella vaccine in 3 groups
of VZV-naive, HIV-infected children] of
live-attenuated varicella vaccine in
VZV-naive, asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic

years of age] [AS PER AMENDMENT 5/21/01: (1)
asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic cohort:
Group I (accrual complete); (2) symptomatic
cohort: Group II: patients classified at
stage B1, A2, N2, or B2 at study entry; (3)
symptomatic cohort: Group III patients
previously classified at immunologic stage 3,
but are at Category A1 or N1 (and on stable
antiretroviral therapy) at entry and for 3
months prior to entry]. To monitor the
short-term local and systemic reactions
following administration of live-attenuated
varicella vaccine. To monitor clinical and
immunologic progression of HIV in children
who have received varicella vaccine.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Primary varicella infection, or
chickenpox, can be devastating to
HIV-infected children because complications
occur at higher rates in immunocompromised
hosts. Current passive prophylaxis measures
with varicella-zoster immune globulin are
suboptimal because administration must be
repeated for each exposure during the child's
lifetime and timely notification of exposure
is not always possible. Since Varivax has
been licensed for routine vaccination of
healthy individuals, it must be determined
whether this vaccine can be safely
administered to HIV-infected children.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Thirty-six children who are
varicella zoster virus (VZV)-naive (treatment
group) receive Varivax at Weeks 0 and 12,
with a possible boost at Week 52 if the
patient is still seronegative for VZV and
cytomegalovirus infection. Twenty children
who have a history of wild-type varicella
exposure within the past year (control group)
receive no study treatment. All patients are
either asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic for
HIV infection. Patients make 12-14 visits to
the clinic. [AS PER AMENDMENT 9/9/99: This
study has been reorganized into two cohorts
(asymptomatic and symptomatic). In the
asymptomatic cohort, accrual has been
completed with 40 patients in Treatment Group
I and 19 in the control group. This phase of
the study demonstrated that Varivax was well
tolerated in 48 HIV-infected children with
asymptomatic disease. The symptomatic cohort
includes Treatment Groups II and III, each
with 30 patients. The first 10 patients from
Group II are monitored for 42 days following
the first dose of vaccine before the
remaining 20 are accrued. Once the first 10
patients in Group II have been evaluated with
acceptable toxicity and immunologic profiles,
the remaining 20 Group II and the first 10
Group III patients are enrolled. The first 10
Group III patients are also followed for
acceptable toxicity and immunologic response
before accrual of the remaining 20 Group III
patients.].

UNIQUE IDENTIFIER NIH/00663
PROTOCOL ID NUMBERS NIAID ACTG 254
PROTOCOL TITLE A Randomized, Phase II/III, Double-Blind,
Two-Armed Study of Micronized Atovaquone and
Azithromycin (AT/AZ) as Compared to
Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) in
the Prevention of Serious Bacterial
Infections When Used in Children Aged 3
Months to 19 Years with HIV Infection.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY Opportunistic Infections
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR Wayne M Dankner
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CO-CHAIR Ram Yogev
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: PRIMARY: To determine whether
micronized atovaquone/azithromycin
combination is as effective as
trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) for
prophylaxis against serious bacterial
infections in HIV-infected infants and
children. To compare long-term safety and
tolerance of these two regimens. For the
first 30 patients, to examine the likelihood
of pharmacokinetic interaction between
atovaquone and azithromycin. SECONDARY: To
determine Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
(PCP) breakthrough rates, incidence of other
opportunistic infections and survival, and
hospitalization rates in this patient
population.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Although TMP/SMX remains the drug
of choice for PCP prophylaxis, drug
sensitivity may limit its use. Atovaquone has
demonstrated greater safety than TMP/SMX and
thus is suitable as a candidate drug for
treatment and prophylaxis of PCP.
Azithromycin, with a broad anti-microbial
spectrum (including mycoplasma and atypical
mycoplasma), is an attractive prophylactic
agent for use in children with HIV infection,
due to its relative safety and once-daily
dosing regimen. Therefore, the combination of
atovaquone and azithromycin may offer broader
antimicrobial coverage and greater safety
than TMP/SMX.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are randomized to
receive either TMP/SMX or combination
micronized atovaquone/azithromycin. Crossover
to the alternative regimen may occur if
serious toxicity is observed. Patients are
monitored for occurrence of serious bacterial
infections or PCP breakthrough, and when a
serious bacterial infection occurs, patients
are crossed over to the alternative regimen.
Treatment continues until 2 years after the
last patient is enrolled. The first 30
patients will undergo a pharmacokinetic
profile. Patients are followed every 4 weeks
for the first 4 months, then every 8 weeks
thereafter. [AS PER AMENDMENT 05/28/99: This
study was closed to infants and children age
19 months and older on 2/15/99; the study is
now open to infants age 3 to 18 months (Stage
II). Patients who are age 24 months or older
at the time of Stage I closure will have
end-of-study evaluations and will no longer
be followed on protocol. Patients who are
less than 24 months of age at the time of
Stage I closure will be allowed to continue
in the current version of the protocol.
Enrollment for children age 3 to 18 months
will continue until 50 subjects have been
randomized. Because Stage II is an unblinded
study, patients who are less than 24 months
of age currently enrolled on Version 4.0 will
have their study medication regimen unblinded
and their atovaquone dose increased.].

PROTOCOL TITLE A Study of Viral Burden in Peripheral Blood
Versus Lymphoid Tissue in Human
Immunodeficiency Virus Infected Individuals.
TRIAL CATEGORY Asymptomatic
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR SK Stanley
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CO-CHAIR AS Fauci
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine the relative burden of
HIV and the relative degree of HIV expression
in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells
(PBMC) versus the lymph nodes in individual
patients with HIV infection. To delineate the
precise nature of the perturbations in V-beta
subsets of T cells in the peripheral blood
versus the lymph nodes of HIV-infected
individuals in order to pursue the role of
superantigens in the immunopathogenesis of
HIV infection. To examine the effect of
therapy on viral burden and HIV expression in
lymph node versus PBMC. [AS PER AMENDMENT
02/94: Enrollment is limited to long-term
immunologic nonprogressors.]
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Recent studies have demonstrated
that there is ten times more virus (per
constant number of CD4 T cells) in the lymph
nodes than in the PBMC of HIV-infected
patients with generalized lymphadenopathy,
indicating that the lymph node may be the
major reservoir of HIV presence and
expression in the body. It is important to
establish whether this situation exists in a
broad spectrum of HIV patients at various
stages of infection from initial acute
infection through advanced disease. If
patients with early asymptomatic disease are
shown to have substantial viral replication
in lymph nodes at a time when their
peripheral blood reflects a relative latency,
this finding will provide a basis for
treating patients earlier in the course of
their HIV infection.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients have no more than 400
cc of blood drawn during their participation
on the study and undergo surgical removal
under local anesthesia of a lymph node from
the groin, armpit, or neck.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To describe late outcomes over time
in [AS PER AMENDMENT 3/9/00: relation to
survival,] growth, neurologic and
neuropsychologic function, quality of life,
organ system toxicity, metabolic disorders,
development of [AS PER AMENDMENT 3/9/00:

and] immunologic and virologic parameters in
HIV-infected infants, children, and
adolescents. [AS PER AMENDMENT 3/9/00: This
will also include evaluation of potential
late outcomes, impact of puberty, and
complications of antiretroviral and immune
therapy received by the patient.] To
determine if uninfected infants born to
HIV-infected women demonstrate any short- or
long-term adverse clinical or laboratory
effects [AS PER AMENDMENT 3/9/00: due to
exposure to antiretroviral therapy or immune
therapy/vaccines in utero, the perinatal
period, or early infancy].
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: The potential long-term benefits,
toxicities, and other adverse outcomes of new
anti-HIV therapies cannot currently be
assessed within the time frame of clinical
trials under way. The need exists to better
assess both positive and negative late
outcomes and late treatment effects in
children who are still growing.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Children have a complete
physical exam, history, Tanner staging,
neurologic exam, and growth and
quality-of-life assessments every 6 months
(if less than 3 years of age) or every 12
months (if greater than or equal to 3 years
of age). Laboratory tests (such as
hematology, chemistries, and urinalysis) are
also performed every 6 or 12 months
(according to age) in infected individuals
and every 6 months or 3 years in uninfected
individuals. Audiometry, echocardiograms, and
ophthalmic exams are performed at specified
intervals. [AS PER AMENDMENT 3/9/00: Clinical
Tracking Evaluations will take place
according to the following schedules: All
patients who are infected: 2, 4, 6 months of
age, then every 3 months. All patients who
are uninfected: 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24
months of age, then every 12 months.]
Participants are followed until age 21 [AS
PER AMENDMENT 3/9/00: 24] or until lost to
follow-up. [AS PER AMENDMENT 3/9/00: PACTG
sites that follow patients beyond the age of
24 may keep patients on study.].

PROTOCOL TITLE Phase III Trial of Antibiotics to Reduce
Chorioamnionitis-Related Perinatal HIV
Transmission.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
TRIAL CATEGORY Pregnancy
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine if low-cost antibiotic
treatment given twice during pregnancy aimed
at reducing chronic and acute
chorioamnionitis will reduce perinatal HIV
transmission.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Obstetric risk factors for HIV
maternal-child transmission (MCT) include
preterm birth, prolonged rupture of the
membranes, and chorioamnionitis. Many preterm
births are associated with and likely caused
by chorioamnionitis. The relationship between
bacterial vaginosis, preterm birth,
histologic chorioamnionitis and perinatal
transmission of HIV has been consistently
demonstrated. Perinatal HIV transmission is
more common in preterm infants, and there is
now evidence that sub-clinical
chorioamnionitis is a substantial risk factor
for MCT. For this study, the primary
hypothesis is that early and appropriate
treatment of sub-clinical chorioamnionitis
prior to the onset of spontaneous preterm
labor, and/or antibiotic treatment during
labor to prevent premature rupture of
membrane-associated-chorioamnionitis will
reduce the risk of perinatal HIV
transmission.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: At 20 to 24 weeks, women
randomized to receive antibiotics receive
metronidazole and erythromycin for 7 days.
Women randomized to the control group receive
identically appearing placebos. With the
onset of contractions and/or premature
rupture of membranes, study participants will
initiate a second oral course of antibiotics
consisting of metronidazole and ampicillin or
placebo every 4 hours, continuing after
delivery until the course is completed. All
HIV-infected women and their neonates will be
offered the HIVNET 012 nevirapine (NVP)
regimen. If the mother accepts the NVP for
herself and her baby, she will be given 1
dose of NVP to be taken at onset of labor,
and her baby will receive 1 dose of NVP at 72
hours post-birth or discharge, whichever
occurs earlier. If the mother refuses NVP or
is uninfected, she will receive a matched
placebo at the 26 to 30 week visit to
preserve participant confidentiality. This
study takes place in Blantyre and Lilongwe,
Malawi, in Lusaka, Zambia, and in Dar es
Salaam, Tanzania.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase III Open-Label, Randomized,
Active-Controlled Study Assessing the
Efficacy and Safety of T-20 (HIV-1 Fusion
Inhibitor) in Combination with an Optimized
Background Regimen, Versus Optimized
Background Regimen Alone, in Patients with
Prior Experience and/or Prior Documented
Resistance to Each of the Three Classes of
Approved Antiretrovirals (
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To demonstrate that a deliverable
dose of 90 mg bid of T-20 (corresponding to
the 100 mg nominal dose studies in Phase
I/II) added to an optimized background (OB)
regimen provides an additional drop in plasma
HIV-1 RNA of at least 0.5 log10 copies/ml
compared to the OB regimen alone at Week 24,
as measured by the difference between the 2
treatment arms in the mean changes from
baseline in plasma HIV-1 RNA at Week 24. To
demonstrate the durability of efficacy of
T-20 plus OB regimen, as measured by the
percentage of patients who responded with
viral load as follows: a) less than 50
copies/ml; b) 50-400 copies/ml, c) at least a
1 log10 decrease from baseline but greater
than 400 copies/ml; and d) virological
failure at Week 24; and maintain response in
each category or better at Week 48.
Methodology: An OB regimen is selected to be
initiated at baseline by the physician and
patient. The OB regimen is based on the
patient's prior treatment history as well as
the results from the first screening visit
HIV-1 genotypic and phenotypic (GT and PT)
resistance testing and prior GT/PT
antiretroviral resistance testing (if
available). Prior or current laboratory
abnormalities, including triglycerides and
cholesterol, should also be taken into
account when selecting the OB regimen.
Patients are stratified with respect to the
following: 1) screening viral load (less than
40,000 or 40,000 or more copies/ml); and 2)
number of allowed investigational
antiretrovirals (0, 1, or 2). Patients then
are randomized to receive 1 of the following
treatments for 48 weeks: OB regimen or OB
plus T-20 regimen. Patients are seen for
evaluation of efficacy and safety at Weeks 1,
2, and 4, every 4 weeks through Week 24, and
then every 8 weeks through Week 48. In
addition, efficacy only is evaluated at Weeks
6, 10, and 14. Patients also may be seen at
additional visits during the study for plasma
HIV-1 RNA measurements to potentially confirm
virological failure. Patients initially
randomized to the OB arm who meet the
criteria for virological failure and who
switch to OB plus T-20 after Week 8 are
followed under a new (switch) schedule of
assessments. Patients are encouraged to
change their OB regimen at the time of
switch. Patients initially randomized to the
OB plus T-20 arm who meet the criteria for
virological failure may continue to receive
OB plus T-20 if the patient and the physician
feel that there is sufficient benefit.
Patients are encouraged to change their OB
regimen after Week 8 if they choose to
continue on OB plus T-20 despite meeting the
criteria for virological failure. Patients on
OB or OB plus T-20 arm who meet the criteria
for virological failure but who do not wish
to either switch to T-20 (for patients
initially randomized to OB arm) or continue
with T-20 (for patients initially randomized
to OB plus T-20) are allowed to remain in the
study for a maximum of 1 month. At the end of
the 48 weeks of treatment, patients are
allowed to participate in 1 of the following
treatment extensions: a) roll-over and
receive OB plus T-20 (for patients receiving
OB alone); or b) continue taking OB plus T-20
(for patients already receiving OB plus
T-20), for a maximum of an additional 48
weeks (plus 4 weeks safety follow-up period),
or until 12 weeks after commercial
availability of T-20 in the country in which
they are treated, whichever comes first. All
patients are followed for a maximum of 100
weeks from their initial baseline visit date.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: An OB regimen is selected to be
initiated at baseline by the physician and
patient. The OB regimen is based on the
patient's prior treatment history as well as
the results from the first screening visit
HIV-1 genotypic and phenotypic (GT and PT)
resistance testing and prior GT/PT
antiretroviral resistance testing (if
available). Prior or current laboratory
abnormalities, including triglycerides and
cholesterol, should also be taken into
account when selecting the OB regimen.
Patients are stratified with respect to the
following: 1) screening viral load (less than
40,000 or 40,000 or more copies/ml); and 2)
number of allowed investigational
antiretrovirals (0, 1, or 2). Patients then
are randomized to receive 1 of the following
treatments for 48 weeks: OB regimen or OB
plus T-20 regimen. Patients are seen for
evaluation of efficacy and safety at Weeks 1,
2, and 4, every 4 weeks through Week 24, and
then every 8 weeks through Week 48. In
addition, efficacy only is evaluated at Weeks
6, 10, and 14. Patients also may be seen at
additional visits during the study for plasma
HIV-1 RNA measurements to potentially confirm
virological failure. Patients initially
randomized to the OB arm who meet the
criteria for virological failure and who
switch to OB plus T-20 after Week 8 are
followed under a new (switch) schedule of
assessments. Patients are encouraged to
change their OB regimen at the time of
switch. Patients initially randomized to the
OB plus T-20 arm who meet the criteria for
virological failure may continue to receive
OB plus T-20 if the patient and the physician
feel that there is sufficient benefit.
Patients are encouraged to change their OB
regimen after Week 8 if they choose to
continue on OB plus T-20 despite meeting the
criteria for virological failure. Patients on
OB or OB plus T-20 arm who meet the criteria
for virological failure but who do not wish
to either switch to T-20 (for patients
initially randomized to OB arm) or continue
with T-20 (for patients initially randomized
to OB plus T-20) are allowed to remain in the
study for a maximum of 1 month. At the end of
the 48 weeks of treatment, patients are
allowed to participate in 1 of the following
treatment extensions: a) roll-over and
receive OB plus T-20 (for patients receiving
OB alone); or b) continue taking OB plus T-20
(for patients already receiving OB plus
T-20), for a maximum of an additional 48
weeks (plus 4 weeks safety follow-up period),
or until 12 weeks after commercial
availability of T-20 in the country in which
they are treated, whichever comes first. All
patients are followed for a maximum of 100
weeks from their initial baseline visit date.

Emtricitabine in Combination with Other
Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-Infected
Pediatric Patients.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment Naive
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To obtain long-term safety
experience for antiretroviral regimens
containing emtricitabine in HIV-1 infected
pediatric patients. To determine the
steady-state emtricitabine concentrations in
HIV-1 infected pediatric patients and, if
necessary, to refine the dose of
emtricitabine to achieve plasma
concentrations comparable to those in adults
given 200 mg emtricitabine once daily. To
obtain antiretroviral activity data for
antiretroviral regimens containing
emtricitabine in pediatric patients.
Methodology: Children are placed into 1 of 4
treatment groups based on age: Group 1, 3
months to 24 months; Group 2, 25 months to 6
years; Group 3, 7 years to 12 years; Group 4,
13 years to 17 years. They receive baseline
evaluations. Antiretroviral-naive patients
receive emtricitabine plus stavudine plus
lopinavir/ritonavir.
Antiretroviral-experienced patients replace
lamivudine with emtricitabine. Patients
return to the clinic for follow-up visits at
Weeks 2 and 4 and then every 4 weeks until
Week 48. Safety is evaluated using adverse
events, which are reviewed at every clinic
visit. Clinical laboratory data and
full-profile pharmacokinetics of
emtricitabine are evaluated at some visits.
After the Week 48 study evaluations are
completed, individual patients may continue
to receive study medication (as provided by
the sponsor) until commercially available, if
certain criteria are met.

PROTOCOL TITLE Phase II, Randomized, Open-Label Study of
Switching to Protease Inhibitor-Sparing
Regimens for Improvement of Metabolic
Abnormalities.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare changes from baseline in
fasting non-high density lipoprotein
(non-HDL) cholesterol and fasting
triglyceride levels among the nevirapine
(NVP)-, abacavir (ABC)-, and efavirenz
(EFV)-containing regimens to Week 24.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Protease inhibitor (PI)-containing
antiretroviral regimens are potent
suppressors of HIV replication. Increasingly,
metabolic abnormalities such as
hypercholesterolemia and triglyceridemia are
associated with PI use, reasons cited for
switching to PI-sparing regimens. Yet optimal
switch regimens that take into account both
improvements in side effects and continued
virologic suppression have not been defined.
This study will compare the effect on
chemical metabolic abnormalities of switching
to an all nucleoside regimen versus dual
nucleoside plus nonnucleoside reverse
transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) therapy.
Determining the effects of each regimen on
chemical metabolic abnormalities and
maintenance of virologic suppression will
define which of the switch strategies being
studied improves metabolic abnormalities
without compromising viral suppression.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are stratified on the
basis of fasting non-HDL cholesterol and
triglyceride levels and on ritonavir- or
nonritonavir-containing pre-entry PI
regimens. Patients are assigned randomly to
add to their pre-entry regimen 1 of the
following 3 treatments: Arm A - ABC; Arm B -
NVP; or Arm C - EFV. Patients discontinue
pre-entry PIs after Day 14. Patients are
followed to determine the effect of the
maintenance regimens on fasting
non-high-density lipoprotein (HDL),
cholesterol, and triglycerides at Week 24.
Fasting total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol,
direct low-density lipoprotein, and
triglycerides are measured at Weeks 12, 24,
and 48. Fasting glucose, insulin, C-peptide,
apolipoproteins A-1 and B, lipoprotein a, and
homocysteine are measured at Weeks 24 and 48.
Anthropometrics, body mass index, and body
image are measured at Weeks 12, 24, and 48.
HIV viral load is measured at Weeks 2, 4, 8,
12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, and 48. If HIV RNA
stays below 200 copies/ml, therapy continues
unchanged. If confirmed HIV RNA of 200
copies/ml or higher is found, an HIV genotype
is obtained providing the viral load is
sufficient to yield results, the best medical
therapy is instituted (not supplied by the
study), and off treatment/on study follow-up
is continued. If patients are intolerant to a
study drug, an alternate study drug (ABC,
EFV, or NVP supplied by the study) is
permitted and switched treatment/on study
follow-up continued, or the best medical
therapy is instituted (not supplied by the
study), and off treatment/on study follow-up
is continued. Patients are followed until the
last patient enrolled has completed 48 weeks

PROTOCOL TITLE An Open-Label, Non-Randomized Study of
Pharmacokinetic Interactions Between
Depo-Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA,
Depo-Provera) and Selected Protease Inhibitor
(PI) and Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase
Inhibitor (NNRTI) Therapies Among
HIV-Infected Women.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of selected
antiretroviral (ARV) therapies (nelfinavir
[NFV], efavirenz [EFV], indinavir [IDV] in
combination with ritonavir [RTV], and
nevirapine [NVP]) on the pharmacokinetics
(PK) of depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate
(DMPA) among HIV-infected patients using the
DMPA area under the concentration-time curve
(AUC) from baseline (Day 0) to Week 12. To
determine the effect of DMPA on the PK of
selected ARV therapies among HIV-infected
patients using the AUCs for these drugs at
baseline (Day 0) and Week 4.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: DMPA, an injectable depot
formulation of medroxyprogesterone (MPA), is
a commonly used form of progestin-only
contraception. Information is limited on the
specific P450 isozymes that metabolize MPA;
however, it appears that CYP3A4 is 1 pathway
of hepatic clearance. Drugs known to be
inhibitors of the CYP3A4 pathway (such as
protease inhibitors [PIs]) may lead to
elevated concentrations of MPA. Secondly, MPA
given as DMPA injections has been shown to
induce the activity of CYP3A4 by 25 percent.
It is possible that this action may result in
enhanced clearance of the substrates of
CYP3A4, including PIs and nonnucleoside
reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs),
which in turn may result in reduced drug
exposure and possible ARV failure. This study
is designed to address the lack of
information on potential interactions between
PIs or NNRTIs and DMPA.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are enrolled into 1 of
5 arms based on their current ARV regimen:
Arm A (control group): No current ARVs or
receiving nucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitors (NRTIs) only. Arm B: NFV (1250 mg
bid or 750 mg tid) in combination with NRTIs.
Arm C: EFV (600 mg qd) in combination with
NRTIs. Arm D: IDV (800 mg bid) and RTV (100
mg bid or 200 mg bid) in combination with
NRTIs. Arm E: NVP (200 mg bid) in combination
with NRTIs. Acceptable NRTIs and any fixed
combination of these medications include:
zidovudine (ZDV), lamivudine, didanosine,
stavudine (d4T), zalcitabine, and abacavir;
concurrent therapy using ZDV and d4T is not
allowed. ARV therapy is not provided by this
study. One dose of DMPA is provided to all
patients at entry (Day 0) and an optional
dose of DMPA will be available at the final
visit (Week 12) for those who are interested
in continuing with DMPA outside of the
protocol and who do not experience adverse
events from the first DMPA injection.
Patients in Arms B, C, D, and E have
intensive pharmacokinetic sampling done at
entry and at Week 4 to measure ARV levels.
All patients have blood tests at Weeks 2, 4,
6, 8, 10, and 12 to measure levels of DMPA
and progesterone. In addition, tests to
monitor HIV-1 RNA levels, CD4 and CD8 counts,
hematology, blood chemistries, and liver
function are performed periodically.

PROTOCOL TITLE An Open-Label, Pilot Study Utilizing CD4
T-Cell Counts Lower Than 350 Cells/mm3 as the
Threshold for Restarting Therapy with Potent
Antiretroviral Therapy with or without
Interleukin-2 to Determine the Effect of
Pulse Therapy on the Characteristics of
Treatment Interruptions.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment IND
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To assess the CD4 T-cell count at
the end of Step 1 (interleukin-2 [IL-2]
versus no IL-2 Step) and the slope of the
decline in CD4 T-cell count during Step 2
(treatment interruption).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: An approach to reconstituting the
diminished immune system caused by HIV is the
use of potent antiretroviral therapy (ART) in
conjunction with IL-2. IL-2 is a cytokine
secreted by activated T lymphocytes that
regulates the proliferation and
differentiation of lymphocytes, including CD4
and CD8 T-cells. Although treatment with IL-2
can cause transient increases in HIV-1 RNA
levels, clinical studies with IL-2 have
revealed no long-term adverse effect upon the
viral load. Indeed, when administered in the
setting of maximal viral suppression induced
by potent ART, IL-2 therapy might help purge
the host's latent viral reservoir through
activation of resting lymphocytes harboring
provirus. Another approach to the management
of HIV infection is strategic treatment
interruption. Results from small pilot trials
suggest that HIV replication can be highly
suppressed over consecutive courses following
short treatment interruptions and that CD4
T-cell counts can be maintained with perhaps
some positive effect on HIV-specific
immunity. This study evaluates intermittent
potent ART, started and interrupted based on
CD4 cell counts, with or without IL-2, as an
alternative approach to the chronic treatment
of HIV infection.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are stratified, based
on lifetime CD4 T-cell nadir, to 1 of 3
strata: 1) nadir less than or equal to 200
CD4 cells/mm3; 2) nadir greater than 200 CD4
cells/mm3; or 3) no documented nadir count
available. Patients are randomized equally to
2 arms: Arm A: Pulses of potent ART and
cycles of IL-2. Arm B: Pulses of potent ART
alone. This study has 7 steps. Clinical and
laboratory assessments are performed
periodically per protocol guidelines.
Patients meeting CD4 T-cell or HIV-1 RNA
eligibility criteria can register to each
successive step within 6 weeks after
completing the evaluations on the last visit
of the previous step. Step 1: Arm A patients
receive potent ART plus IL-2, administered
twice a day for 5 days (equal to 1 cycle)
every 8 weeks for 3 cycles. Arm B patients
receive potent ART alone. Step 2: Treatment
interruption, defined as the withdrawal of
both IL-2 therapy and/or potent ART, occurs
for patients in both arms. Step 3: Patients
in both arms receive potent ART alone. Step 4
repeats Step 1, Step 5 repeats Step 2, Step 6
repeats Step 3, and Step 7 repeats Step 1.
All patients will have a diphtheria and
tetanus toxoid immunization (not provided by
the study) once, in Step 1 at Week 4.
Patients must provide their own potent ART
for the duration of the study. A5109s is a
limited-center substudy designed to ascertain
whether viral replication impairs lymphocyte
proliferation in vivo. Patients may register
to the substudy immediately after registering
to Step 2 of the main study

PROTOCOL TITLE A Randomized, Double-Blind,
Placebo-Controlled Study of Metformin and
Rosiglitazone, Alone or in Combination, in
HIV-Infected Subjects with Fasting
Hyperinsulinemia and Elevated Waist/Hip
Ratio.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine the effects of
metformin and rosiglitazone on fasting
insulin levels and insulin area under the
curve (AUC) in response to an oral glucose
tolerance test (OGTT) by comparing each
active treatment group (metformin alone,
rosiglitazone alone, or the combination) to
placebo treatment. To determine the effects
of metformin and rosiglitazone, alone and in
combination, on visceral fat area by
comparing each active treatment group to
placebo treatment. To evaluate the safety of
metformin and rosiglitazone, alone and in
combination.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Recent studies have documented
hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and
glucose intolerance in a seemingly increasing
proportion of patients with HIV infection.
Other studies have described a variety of
syndromes of fat accumulation and fat loss,
including abdominal obesity. Although
initially attributed specifically to protease
inhibitors (PI), these abnormalities also
have been observed in
antiretroviral-experienced but PI-naive
patients. Hyperinsulinemia and abdominal
obesity are strong independent risk factors
for coronary artery disease. In non-infected
patients, metformin and thiazolidinediones
have been shown to reduce insulin resistance
by different mechanisms and also to reduce
visceral adiposity. This study investigates
the use of metformin and rosiglitazone, a
member of the thiazolidinedione class, in
HIV-infected patients with hyperinsulinemia
and central fat accumulation.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: At study entry, clinical and
laboratory assessments are performed. A
standard OGTT, with plasma samples drawn over
120 minutes, will be performed for glucose
and insulin determinations. After completion
of entry evaluations, patients are assigned
randomly to 1 of 4 double-blinded treatment
arms: Arm A: Metformin plus rosiglitazone
placebo. Arm B: Metformin placebo plus
rosiglitazone. Arm C: Metformin plus
rosiglitazone. Arm D: Metformin placebo plus
rosiglitazone placebo. Patients who are still
on study drugs at Week 16 (at either full or
reduced dose) are switched to the open-label
phase to receive the combination of metformin
and rosiglitazone through Week 32. Patients
have evaluations at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16,
18, 20, 24, 28, and 32. Safety indices,
fasting insulin and glucose levels, and
visceral fat are assessed.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase II, Randomized, Controlled Trial of
Two Potent, Simplified Regimens Utilizing a
Protease Inhibitor-Sparing Regimen versus a
Nucleoside-Sparing Regimen for HIV-Infected
Subjects Who Participated in ACTG 388 and
Have 200 or Less HIV-1 RNA Copies/ml.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare time to confirmed
virologic failure (plasma HIV-1 RNA levels
greater than 200 copies/ml in the 2 treatment
arms).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: ACTG 388 was designed to evaluate
2 4-drug regimens compared with a 3-drug
regimen in patients who were relatively
treatment naive. Based on the increased
complexity and toxicity of 4-drug regimens
and the resultant negative impact on response
as compared with 3-drug regimens, studies
evaluating simplified potent regimens appear
warranted. This study should allow the
achievement of enhanced virologic activity
without necessarily increasing the number of
antiretroviral drugs and should limit both
pill burden and regimen complexity.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are randomized to
receive either a protease inhibitor
(PI)-sparing regimen of 2 nucleoside reverse
transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) with
efavirenz (EFV) (Arm I) or an NRTI-sparing
regimen of EFV with lopinavir/ritonavir
(LPV/r) (Arm II). Arm I options are
enteric-coated didanosine (ddI-EC) plus
lamivudine (3TC), ddI-EC plus zidovudine
(ZDV), ZDV plus 3TC (or Combivir), stavudine
(d4T) plus 3TC, or ddI-EC plus d4T (with
exceptions as noted in the protocol). Only
LPV/r, EFV, d4T, and ddI are provided by the
study; other medications are obtained by
prescription. All patients are evaluated for
safety and for virologic and immunologic
responses at Weeks 4, 8, and then every 8
weeks until the study ends. In addition, all
patients have assessments for fat
redistribution, fasting lipid profiles,
fasting insulin levels, venous lactate
levels, and adherence. An interim analysis is
done for safety. Patients may enroll in
A5124s, a Visceral Adipose Tissue Substudy,
and A5125s, a Bone Mineral Density Substudy.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase I Pharmacokinetic Study of Once
Versus Twice Daily Dosing With Zidovudine and
Lamivudine.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare the steady-state predose
amounts of ZDV-triphosphate (ZDV-TP) and
3TC-triphosphate (3TC-TP) in peripheral blood
mononuclear cells (PBMCs) when the same total
daily dose of zidovudine (ZDV) and lamivudine
(3TC), administered as the commercially
available combination product Combivir, is
administered once versus twice daily. To
describe the kinetics of phosphorylation of
ZDV and 3TC mono-, di-, and triphosphates in
PBMCs over 24 hours at steady state when
Combivir is administered as a single daily
dose.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Initial dosing regimens of ZDV
were based on the plasma half-life of the
drug. However, recent studies of the
intracellular metabolism of ZDV have
demonstrated that the active anabolite,
ZDV-TP, is present within the cell for an
extended period of time relative to the drug
in the plasma. This suggests that antiviral
activity may be present for a sufficient time
frame with less-frequent dosing of the drug.
Careful comparison of the rate and extent of
intracellular phosphorylated ZDV metabolites
as a function of schedule will determine
whether less-frequent dosing has a sound
pharmacological basis. Also, the
intracellular metabolism of 3TC is via
different enzymes than that of ZDV and there
are quantitative differences in the amount of
triphosphate formed from both drugs. This
study will provide information about
intracellular metabolites when both ZDV and
3TC are concurrently administered.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: This is a study of 2 schedules
of Combivir therapy. At study entry or Part
I, all patients take Combivir twice daily for
the 7-day adherence assessment. Patients who
have demonstrated 70 percent or greater
adherence [AS PER AMENDMENT 7/20/01: 70
percent compliance with the study regimen for
Combivir. This corresponds to taking at least
10 of the prescribed 14 Combivir tablets
during the 7 days prior to an adherence
assessment, including all scheduled doses in
the 24-hour period prior to that
assessment.], and have taken all scheduled
Combivir doses in the previous 24 hours, have
pharmacokinetic samples obtained and are
randomized to Group A or Group B in Part II.
Group A patients take 2 Combivir tablets once
daily; Group B patients take 1 Combivir
tablet twice daily. After patients have
completed the targeted duration of Part II (7
days for Group A and 7-14 days for Group B),
they are assessed for adherence. Patients who
have demonstrated 70 percent or greater
adherence, and have taken all scheduled
Combivir doses in the previous 24 hours, have
pharmacokinetic samples obtained and then
change to the alternate dosing schedule.
Group A patients take 1 Combivir tablet twice
daily; Group B patients take 2 Combivir
tablets once daily. After patients have
completed the targeted duration of Part III
(7-14 days for Group A and 7 days for Group
B), they are assessed for adherence. All
patients who meet the adherence criteria have
pharmacokinetic samples obtained. After
completion of Part III pharmacokinetic
studies, patients have completed the study.
(Note: Combivir will not be provided in this
study.).

PROTOCOL TITLE A Study of Immune Function in Healthy Adults
Aged 18-30 and 45 and Older.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare baseline differences in
total numbers and percentages of naive CD4+
(CD45RA+/CD62L+) lymphocytes between healthy,
HIV-seronegative volunteers and
HIV-seropositive participants of study A5015.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Aging is associated with declines
in both cellular and humoral immunity. A
consistent observation of the aging immune
system is a change in T cells. Another
possible mechanism of diminished cellular
immunity associated with age includes
accelerated lymphocyte apoptosis. Enhanced
lymphocyte apoptosis may play an important
role in the pathogenesis of HIV disease. This
study will use healthy volunteers to confirm
and expand upon such observations. Samples
from these volunteers will serve as controls
to those from the HIV-infected participants
of A5015 (a comparison study of 2
age-differentiated cohorts to determine
potential mechanisms that might contribute to
accelerated HIV-disease progression that is
associated with aging).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: This is a non-treatment study;
however, volunteers receive hepatitis A and
tetanus vaccinations. Numbers of
phenotypically naive CD4+ cells
(CD45RA+/CD62L+) are compared between
healthy, HIV-seronegative volunteers and
HIV-seropositive patients of A5015. An array
of assays to assess baseline differences in
immune function between these study
populations are performed. Expression of
markers of activation are compared by
measuring the coexpression of HLA-DR+/CD38+
and CD28+ on CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes
between these populations. To investigate
possible age-associated differences in
apoptosis, Fas (CD95+) expression is measured
on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells by flow cytometry,
and spontaneous apoptosis is assessed using
the propidium iodide method. DTH
hypersensitivity to skin test antigens,
lymphocyte proliferation to mitogens, soluble
antigens, recall antigens, and neoantigens
are compared between the 2 populations.
Antibody responses to vaccination with
tetanus and hepatitis A are assessed.
Finally, thymic size as measured by CT scan
and the frequency of T cells that contain
TRECs is compared between these 2
populations.

PROTOCOL TITLE Evaluation of the Immunogenicity of
Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine and Routine
Pediatric Immunizations in HIV-Infected
Children Treated with Highly Active
Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART).
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Vaccine
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine the safety and
short-term immunogenicity of 2 doses of
Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) followed
by 1 dose of Pneumococcal Polysaccharide
Vaccine (PPV) in HIV-infected children on
highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
To determine whether HIV-infected children on
HAART have protective levels of antibody at
study entry to previously administered
measles vaccine. To determine whether
HIV-infected children on HAART respond to
booster immunization with measles vaccine.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Infection by Streptococcus
pneumoniae is the most frequent opportunistic
infection observed in HIV-infected children.
PCVs are immunogenic and efficacious in
normal children and offer hope of reducing
pneumococcal infections in HIV-infected
children. The degree to which children on
HAART are protected by prior immunizations
and are responsive to new immunizations is
still largely undefined. This study is
designed to answer whether PCV immunizations
are safe and effective. The immune responses
to prior immunizations and responsiveness to
booster doses of vaccines against measles,
pertussis, and hepatitis B virus of children
on HAART will also be examined. Answers to
these questions will determine whether these
children are likely to be protected against
these clinically relevant pathogens and
whether they should routinely receive booster
doses of these vaccines after a period of
HAART.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are stratified on the
basis of CD4 percentage and age. Patients
that previously received a primary hepatitis
B vaccine (HBV) series receive an HBV
immunization at entry. Other vaccinations may
be given (based on age and/or CD4 cell
measurements, and immunization status) for
PCV at entry and 2 months, and
measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and PPV
at 4 months. Some patients may be
administered DTaP at a 6-month visit on the
basis of age, previous immunization history,
and negative tetanus antibody status.
Follow-up visits are done at 8, 12, and 24
months. Blood samples are collected at all
clinic visits for assessment of HIV RNA,
immune responses against pneumococcus,
measles, pertussis, and hepatitis B virus,
and for laboratory evaluations.

Sarcoma (KS) in HIV Infected Individuals.
TRIAL CATEGORY AIDS-Related Malignancies
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Opportunistic Infections
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment Naive
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To assess the initiation of potent
anti-HIV therapy on specific factors possibly
linked to the control or pathogenesis of
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), namely serum viral
interleukin-6 (IL-6) and plasma VEGF levels
in patients with KS or at risk for KS by
virtue of being infected with Kaposi's
sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV)/human
herpes virus-8 (HHV-8). To assess the effect
of the initiation of anti-HIV therapy on the
viral load of KSHV/HHV-8 in
KSHV/HHV-8-infected patients coinfected with
HIV.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Certain blood proteins and a virus
called KSHV are thought to be factors
involved in causing KS in patients with HIV
infection or KS. This study uses certain
laboratory tests to examine the link between
anti-HIV therapy and the factors causing KS.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients joining the study who
have not received anti-HIV therapy within the
last 4 weeks begin optimum anti-HIV therapy.
Patients joining the study who are already
taking anti-HIV therapy stop receiving
medications for 4 weeks, during which blood
tests are done to measure the effects of
stopping treatment on KSHV and other factors;
therapy is then restarted. Patients receive
up to 2 years of a combination of approved
anti-HIV medications while on the study.
During the study, blood and saliva samples
are tested for changes in immune function
directed at KSHV and blood proteins that may
be linked with KS. Patients with KS lesions
have lesions biopsied for possible
immune-related changes and are evaluated for
clinical response to treatment.

PROTOCOL ID NUMBERS FDA B012
PROTOCOL TITLE A Randomized Controlled Study Testing the
Efficacy of Immunotherapies to Control Plasma
HIV RNA Concentrations Upon Interruption of
Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Vaccine
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Therapeutic AIDS Vaccine
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine whether HIV-specific
canarypox vector immunizations and/or daily
low-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) result in
efficient immune control of viral replication
subsequent to an interruption of HAART.
Methodology: Step I: In addition to
continuing HAART, patients are randomized
into 1 of the following 4 arms: A:
Immunization placebo; B: Immunization with
the canarypox HIV-vaccine (vCP1452); C: Daily
low-dose IL-2 + immunization placebo; or D:
Daily low-dose IL-2 + canarypox HIV-vaccine
(vCP1452). Patients on Arms A, B, C, and D
receive vaccine (or vaccine placebo)
injections at Weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12. Patients
on Arms C and D receive IL-2 by
self-injection. HAART is not provided as part
of this study. Step II: Patients on all arms
(A, B, C, and D) who meet inclusion criteria
advance to Step II and interrupt HAART for a
minimum of 12 weeks. The efficacy of these
immunological therapies will be determined by
monitoring the dynamics of viral rebound upon
cessation of antiviral therapy. After 12
weeks of Step II, patients whose viral load
remains below 30,000 copies/ml remain on Step
II, off HAART, and continue weekly viral load
monitoring. Patients will not terminate Step
II or resume HAART unless and until their
viral load increases to more than 30,000
copies/ml on 3 successive determinations, or
their CD4 count decreases to less than 200
cells/mm3 or less than 50 percent of the
baseline CD4+ T cell concentration on 2
successive occasions.

PROTOCOL TITLE Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind
Comparison of Three Protease
Inhibitor-Sparing Regimens for the Initial
Treatment of HIV Infection.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment Naive
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare the ability of 3 initial
protease inhibitor (PI)-sparing
antiretroviral regimens to suppress and
maintain HIV-1 RNA below 200 copies/ml (time
to failure). To determine the safety and
tolerability of the 3 initial PI-sparing
regimens.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Current treatment guidelines
recommend combination regimens of 2
nucleoside analogues with either a PI or a
nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor
(NNRTI) as the preferred therapy for the
initial treatment of HIV infection. However,
the efficacy of current regimens is limited
by their complexity, pharmacokinetic
characteristics, short- and long-term side
effects, and drug-resistance profiles at the
time of virologic failure. Consequently, the
identification of new initial regimens that
are simpler, better tolerated, preserve
treatment options in the event of virologic
failure, and improve on antiretroviral
potency is needed. In addition, recent
concern over the long-term toxicities of PIs
and the extensive cross-resistance among the
available PIs have led to the testing of
PI-sparing regimens.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Step 1: Patients are randomly
selected to receive 1 of 3 blinded treatment
regimens: abacavir (ABC)/lamivudine
(3TC)/zidovudine (ZDV)/efavirenz (EFV),
ABC/3TC/ZDV, or 3TC/ZDV/EFV. Patients with
confirmed virologic failure on Step 1 and
confirmed plasma HIV RNA levels of 10,000
copies/ml or greater must register to Step 2.
Patients with confirmed virologic failure on
Step 1 and plasma HIV RNA under 10,000
copies/ml may remain on Step 1 or register to
Step 2. Step 2: Step 2 is open label.
Regimens include 2 nucleoside reverse
transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in
combination with either EFV or BMS-232632.
Based on genotypic resistance results, the
NRTI combination may be a fixed-dose
combination of 3TC/ZDV or 2 of the following:
ZDV, didanosine (ddI), 3TC, stavudine (d4T),
and ABC; however, the ZDV/d4T combination is
not permitted. Clinical assessments and
laboratory evaluations are done at entry, at
Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and then
every 8 weeks thereafter for the duration of
the study. Evaluations are also required when
a protocol-allowed drug substitution is made.
In addition, 2 substudies are being
conducted: a neurology substudy for efavirenz
and a pharmacology substudy for BMS-232632.

UNIQUE IDENTIFIER NIH/01362
PROTOCOL ID NUMBERS NIAID ACTG P1013
PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase I/II Trial of Ritonavir and Indinavir
in Children Failing Other Antiretroviral
Therapy.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: Stage A: To determine doses of
ritonavir (RTV) and indinavir (IDV), in 2
dosing ratios, that are safe, tolerable, and
achieve similar systemic exposure shown to be
effective in adults. Stages A and B: To
assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, and
tolerability of the 2 combination regimens in
pediatric HIV-infected patients who have
failed other antiretroviral therapies. To
assess the antiretroviral activity and the
relationship of the pharmacokinetic profiles
of the 2 combinations of RTV and IDV to the
degree and durability of viral suppression.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Combination regimens of RTV and
IDV in adults offer the benefit of 2 potent
antiretroviral agents, convenience of
twice-daily dosing, unrestricted timing of
meals, and fewer renal complications. There
are limited, largely anecdotal, data from
children suggesting that initial virological
response can also be attained in children
given IDV with RTV, but there are not
sufficient pharmacokinetic data to define
appropriate dose regimens. This study
evaluates the clinical feasibility of this
regimen for children.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are stratified for
Stage A on the basis of age/Tanner stage and
ability to swallow intact capsules. Within
Stage A, patients are randomized to either
Balanced Dose or Low Dose RTV treatment arms.
Patients in the Balanced Dose Arm receive RTV
and IDV in approximately equal doses. The Low
Dose RTV Arm receives a dosing ratio of
RTV:IDV of approximately 1:3. Stage A aims to
find appropriate doses of RTV:IDV through
intensive pharmacokinetic analysis done at
Week 4 (or 2 weeks after a stable dose of
study drugs has been reached) and Week 16.
Stage B opens to enrollment after the best
doses have been determined in Stage A based
on the following: 1) safety and tolerability
for patients treated for 8 or more weeks and
2) pharmacokinetics criteria. For Stage B,
patients are randomized after real-time
genotypic screening and stratified by
age/Tanner stage and use of a new nucleoside
reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). Stage
B tests the virologic activity, safety, and
tolerability of the dose selected for each
treatment arm in Stage A. Patients without
significant genotypic resistance are enrolled
into each treatment arm. Other patients with
significant genotypic resistance to RTV or
IDV are also enrolled. Laboratory and
clinical evaluations at scheduled clinic
visits determine HIV RNA levels and
pharmacology, safety, and immunologic
parameters.

PROTOCOL TITLE Evaluation of the Role of Temporary Cessation
of Antiretroviral Treatment and Resistance
Testing-Based Selection of Antiretroviral
Drugs in the Virologic Response to Salvage
Therapy for Heavily Treatment-Experienced
HIV-Infected Individuals Failing Current
Antiretroviral Therapy.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare the proportion of
patients in each arm with plasma HIV-1 RNA
levels below 400 copies/ml at Week 48 after
randomization.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Virologic failure occurs in a
large proportion of individuals receiving
treatment with combination antiretroviral
therapy. Studies suggest that treatment
interruption prior to initiation of a
multiple-drug rescue regimen may improve
virologic response in individuals who have
failed several prior antiretroviral regimens.
Other studies suggest there is a virologic
benefit derived from using genotypic or
phenotypic resistance testing in selecting
salvage therapy regimens for patients failing
antiretroviral therapy. This study tests the
hypothesis that salvage regimens selected on
the basis of HIV-1 resistance genotype,
phenotype, and treatment history will be more
effective if there is a period of treatment
interruption before initiating that regimen.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients continue their
antiretroviral therapy until randomization.
Based on the results of the pre-entry
genotype and phenotype tests and treatment
history, an individualized salvage therapy
regimen (not provided by the study) is
selected by the site investigator(s).
Additionally, patients start or continue
maintenance therapy (not provided by the
study) for opportunistic infections (OIs).
Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment
arms. In Arm A, patients have antiretroviral
treatment interruption for a period of 16
weeks (Step 1), followed by initiation of the
salvage therapy regimen (Step 2). In Arm B,
patients switch immediately to the salvage
therapy regimen. [AS PER AMENDMENT 2/15/01:
Patients who become pregnant during Step 1 of
Arm A must be advised to begin their
selected, individualized salvage therapy
regimen or a modified salvage regimen.
Patients who become pregnant during Step 2 of
Arm A or Arm B have therapy evaluated and
undergo any changes required by their
pregnancy.] Patients in both arms are
monitored for plasma HIV-1 RNA levels, CD4+
and CD8+ cell counts, and HIV drug resistance
genotypes and phenotypes for a duration of 64
weeks from randomization. Patients on Arm A
are also monitored for immune reactivation by
measurement of T-cell subsets and plasma
cytokines during treatment interruption.
Patients may participate in a virology
substudy (A5100s) and an immunology substudy
(A5104s).

PROTOCOL TITLE A Multisite Phase II Clinical Trial to
Evaluate the Immunogenicity and Safety of
ALVAC-HIV vCP1452 Alone and Combined with MN
rgp120 in Brazil, Haiti, and Trinidad and
Tobago.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
TRIAL CATEGORY Vaccine
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Preventative HIV Vaccine
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To evaluate the immunogenicity and
confirm the safety of 2 vaccine regimens:
ALVAC-HIV vCP1452 combined with MN rgp120,
and ALVAC-HIV vCP1452 given alone. The
primary objectives related to immunogenicity
include: 1) evaluation of the net CD8+ CTL
response rate for each active treatment arm
and 2) comparisons of mean titers of
neutralizing antibodies to HIV-1 MN between
each active treatment arm and the placebo
arm. The primary objectives related to
evaluation of safety are: comparison of the
rates of severe systemic and rates of severe
local reactions for each of the active
treatment arms to the placebo arm.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: There is no cure for HIV infection
or AIDS in spite of recent advances in
antiviral therapy. Furthermore, drug therapy
is too expensive for most affected
populations. For this reason, there is a
commitment to the development of safe,
effective vaccines to prevent HIV infection
and AIDS worldwide. This study evaluates the
immunogenicity and safety of candidate HIV-1
vaccines, based on the canarypox vector
termed ALVAC, alone and combined with an MN
rgp120 product, at 3 international sites.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Volunteers from Haiti, Brazil,
and Trinidad and Tobago are enrolled into 1
of 3 arms and followed for 18 months. Arm 1
volunteers receive ALVAC-HIV vCP1452 at 0, 1,
3, and 6 months. Arm 2 volunteers receive
ALVAC-HIV vCP1452 on the same schedule as Arm
1 and receive HIV-1 MN rgp120 subunit
simultaneously with the 3-month and 6-month
vaccine doses. Arm 3 volunteers receive a
placebo. Blood and urine samples are
collected for immunologic assays, virologic
determinations, pregnancy testing, and safety
assessments. Risk behavior and social harms
are assessed every 6 months during follow-up.
At all clinic visits volunteers receive
counseling on avoidance of HIV infection and
pregnancy. Participants are tested for HIV-1
every 3 to 6 months. Counseling and follow-up
for any needed medical care are provided.

PROTOCOL ID NUMBERS NIAID ACTG A5079
PROTOCOL TITLE A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized,
Placebo-Controlled Trial of Physiologic
Testosterone Supplementation for HIV-Positive
Men with Mildly to Moderately Reduced Serum
Testosterone Levels and Abdominal Obesity.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that the
change in visceral fat cross-sectional area
from baseline to 24 weeks will be greater
with testosterone replacement than with
placebo in HIV-positive men with abdominal
obesity who have mildly to moderately reduced
serum testosterone levels.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Reports suggest that many
HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral
therapy experience an increase in abdominal
fat. The mechanisms of abdominal fat
accumulation in HIV-infected patients are not
known. Studies have shown: treatment with
testosterone gel reduces total body fat in
young, androgen-deficient men; testosterone
replacement in middle-aged men with
mid-segment obesity decreases visceral fat;
and replacement doses of testosterone
decrease fat mass and augment lean body mass
in HIV-infected men with androgen deficiency.
Therefore, there is a strong rationale for
evaluating the effectiveness of testosterone
replacement in HIV-infected men with visceral
obesity and low testosterone levels.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are stratified based on
their viral load. Patients receive either
testosterone gel or placebo applied to the
skin once daily for 24 weeks. Patients remain
on stable potent antiretroviral regimens,
which are not supplied through the study.
Patients who receive testosterone during the
first 24 weeks are eligible to receive it for
an additional 24 weeks. Patients on placebo
are followed for an additional 24 weeks.
Clinical and laboratory evaluations for
visceral fat changes are performed throughout
the study.

UNIQUE IDENTIFIER NIH/01353
PROTOCOL ID NUMBERS NIAID ACTG A5068
PROTOCOL TITLE A Randomized Phase I/II Pilot Study of
Intermittent Withdrawal of Antiretroviral
Therapy as an Immunization Strategy and
Double-Blinded Immunization with ALVAC-HIV
vCP1452 in Subjects with Persistent CD4+ Cell
Counts Greater Than 500 Cells/mm3 and Plasma
HIV-1 RNA Levels < 50 Copies/ml.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Vaccine
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Therapeutic AIDS Vaccine
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare the effects of different
methods of antigen stimulation (intermittent
potent antiretroviral therapy [ART]
withdrawal versus ALVAC versus both) versus
no antigen stimulation on the mean of the
log10 HIV-1 RNA copies/ml in the last 2 weeks
of the endpoint readout period (Step 6) of
potent ART withdrawal. To establish the
safety of intermittent withdrawal of ART with
and without HIV-specific vaccine in patients
with persistent CD4+ T-cell counts greater
than 500/mm3 and persistent plasma HIV-1 RNA
levels below 50 copies/ml.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: The best hope for long-term
control of HIV infection in an individual
probably rests with the resumption of
effective HIV-specific immune responses.
A5068 hopes to determine whether intermittent
antiretroviral therapy withdrawal serves to
stimulate HIV-specific immune responses and
control of viral replication. This approach
will be compared with vaccination with
ALVAC-HIV vCP1452. In addition, it is
conceivable that intermittent antiretroviral
therapy withdrawal could boost and broaden
the prime response to exogenous vaccine and
that will be studied as well.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients continue receiving
their potent ART (not provided by the study)
and are randomized to 1 of 4 treatment
strategies as follows: Arm A: ALVAC placebo
and potent ART for 92 weeks with a single 12-
to 20-week therapy withdrawal period. Arm B:
ALVAC placebo and potent ART for 84 weeks
with a 4- to 6-week therapy withdrawal
period, a 4-week therapy withdrawal period,
and a 12- to 20-week therapy withdrawal
period. Arm C: ALVAC vCP1452 vaccine and
potent ART for 92 weeks with a single 12- to
20-week therapy withdrawal period. Arm D:
ALVAC vCP1452 vaccine and potent ART for 84
weeks with a 4- to 6-week therapy withdrawal
period, a 4-week therapy withdrawal period,
and a 12- to 20-week therapy withdrawal
period. Immunizations of placebo or vaccine
are administered in 3 separate sets of 3
injections per set (9 total). The study is a
multiple-step study. Patients in Arms B and D
receive a 4-week period of potent ART therapy
along with the first set of immunizations
(Step 1) followed by therapy withdrawal for
4-6 weeks (Step 2). Alternating periods of
therapy resumption (Step 3, consisting of 16
weeks on potent ART with the second set of
vaccine administrations), a second therapy
withdrawal (Step 4 for 4 weeks), and another
therapy resumption (Step 5, consisting of 16
weeks on potent ART with the third set of
vaccine administrations) follow. Patients in
Arms A and C remain on Step 1 for the first
44 weeks on study. After 44-46 weeks on
study, patients in all arms have therapy
withdrawn for 12-20 weeks (Step 6). Following
completion of Step 6, patients whose HIV-1
RNA levels are below 10,000 copies/ml are
encouraged to remain off potent ART (Step 7)
until completion of the study as long as CD4+
T-cell levels remain 50 percent or more of
their baseline levels. Otherwise, patients
restart their potent ART regimens (Step 8)
and receive virologic and CD4+ T-cell
monitoring until completion of the study. All
patients are monitored at regular clinic
visits. HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4+ T-cell
counts are measured. Male patients may
participate in substudy A5101s (Male Genital
Secretions) and patients in Arms B and D may
participate in substudy A5111s (Latent
Infected T-Cell Clearance).

PROTOCOL ID NUMBERS FDA 315A
PROTOCOL TITLE A Randomized Open-Label Trial Comparing the
Tolerability of Videx EC Capsules to Videx
Tablets in Adults with HIV Infection.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare between treatment arms
the proportion of patients, at Study Week 2,
with a Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale
(GSRS) rating of at least 2.0 (frequent or
prolonged and troublesome) on at least 1 of
the following items: abdominal pains, nausea
and vomiting, borborygmus, abdominal
distension, and loose stools.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Despite its therapeutic advantages
and proven efficacy in the treatment of
HIV-infected patients, didanosine may
continue to be underutilized because many
patients experience undesirable
gastrointestinal (GI) side effects and
palatability problems. Once-daily dosing with
Videx EC is expected to improve patient
adherence with possible improved palatability
and remove the GI side effects associated
with the buffers included in the tablet.
Videx EC once-daily dosing would improve pill
burden by decreasing from 2 tablets to 1
capsule per day. Therefore, Videx EC may
represent a significant step toward achieving
better patient satisfaction, improved regimen
adherence, and optimal virologic outcomes
with Videx-containing regimens.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are randomized to
either continue their current Videx
tablet-containing regimen for an additional 2
weeks or replace their Videx tablets with
Videx EC. Patients who remain on Videx
tablets are switched to the EC formulation at
Study Week 2 for the remaining 4 weeks of the
study period. For patients who continue and
successfully complete the Week 6 study visit,
an optional extended dosing period is offered
until Videx EC becomes commercially available
or the study funder terminates the study.
Blood specimens for safety evaluations and
viral load are collected at Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4,
and 6. For patients participating in the
extended dosing period, the visit schedule is
every 8 weeks. Symptom scores between the 2
treatment groups are compared, with the
primary comparison occurring at the Week 2
visit. Analyses include changes in GSRS
scores administered by clinician interview at
each study visit. Assessment of GI symptoms,
palatability features, dosing convenience,
lifestyle effects, and Videx preference is
evaluated by the patient. Adverse events are
assessed objectively by the observations of
both the investigator and the patient.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase II, Open Label, Multicenter Study to
Assess the Safety and Efficacy of 100 Mg DPC
083 Once Daily in Combination with Nucleoside
Analogue Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors in
HIV-1-Infected Subjects Who Are Failing
Treatment with a Non-Nucleoside Reverse
Transcriptase Inhibitor-Containing Regimen.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and
tolerability of 100 mg DPC 083 once daily in
combination with 2 nucleoside reverse
transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in
HIV-1-infected patients who are failing
therapy with a nonnucleoside reverse
transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-containing
regimen. To evaluate the efficacy of 100 mg
DPC 083 once daily in combination with 2
NRTIs in HIV-1-infected patients who are
failing therapy with an NNRTI-containing
regimen, as assessed by suppression of plasma
HIV-1-RNA levels after 8, 24, and 48 weeks of
treatment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Preclinical and human
pharmacokinetic data suggest that DPC 083 can
be administered once daily and provide trough
plasma concentrations of free drug that will
suppress replication of HIV-1, including
strains containing key resistance mutations
observed after failure of treatment with
currently available NNRTIs. This study will
provide an assessment of safety and a
preliminary assessment of the efficacy of DPC
083 when administered at a dose of 100 mg
once daily in combination with 2 NRTIs, in a
population of HIV-1-infected patients who are
failing treatment with an NNRTI-containing
regimen.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients receive DPC 083 once
daily in combination with 2 NRTIs. The 2
NRTIs are selected by the investigators,
based on HIV-1 genotyping results. Analyses
for patient safety and drug efficacy are done
at Weeks 8, 24, and 48 using results from
clinical laboratory tests and physical exams.
Patients continue to receive DPC 083 and
NRTIs until the last patient enrolled in the
study completes 48 weeks of treatment.
Patients return for post-therapy follow-up
visits at 1 and 3 months following early
termination or study completion. Some
patients may participate in a substudy which
evaluates changes in HIV-1 levels in
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

PROTOCOL ID NUMBERS NIAID ACTG A5077
PROTOCOL TITLE Virologic Studies in Compartmental Samples
from HIV-Infected Subjects Changing or
Initiating Potent Antiretroviral Therapy.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To evaluate the relationship between
baseline viral load in blood and in nonblood
compartments and the time to virologic
failure. To evaluate the relationship between
viral load in nonblood compartments at the
time of suppression of plasma HIV-1 RNA
levels and the time to subsequent virologic
failure. To analyze the frequency of
detecting HIV-1 in saliva, genital
secretions, and lymphoid tissues from
patients with persistently suppressed plasma
HIV-1 RNA levels.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: The goal of antiretroviral therapy
is maximal suppression of HIV-1 replication.
Yet studies show that there is ongoing
replication of latent virus in the blood and
lymphoid tissues of some patients receiving
potent antiretroviral therapy who have had
suppressed plasma HIV-1 RNA levels for
prolonged periods of time. This continued
viral persistence and replication could
eventually result in virologic failure and
clinical progression as well as selection and
transmission of resistant HIV-1. There is a
need to identify, quantify, and determine
significance of viral reservoirs in
compartments other than blood. A5077 is
designed to evaluate the relationship between
viral load in blood and nonblood compartments
and time to virologic failure in patients
initiating or changing potent antiretroviral
therapy.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients contribute samples of
blood at study entry (prior to changing or
initiating potent antiretroviral therapy),
Week 8 and every 8 weeks thereafter until
Week 96, and (if applicable) within 30 days
of confirmed virologic failure. Samples of
saliva and either genital secretions or
lymphoid tissue, or both, are collected at
study entry (prior to changing or initiating
potent antiretroviral therapy), Weeks 16, 48,
and 96, and within 30 days of confirmed
virologic failure. Clinical assessments and
medication updates are done at study visits.
Blood samples are tested for HIV-1 genotypic
resistance studies, HIV-1 proviral DNA
studies, and HIV-1 quantitation. If total
blood volumes exceed safe limits, blood
samples will not be drawn for A5077 but the
A5077 protocol team will request access to
plasma and PBMC samples from any coenrolled
study if applicable.

PROTOCOL TITLE Use of Single Photon Emission Computed
Tomography (SPECT) as a Noninvasive
Alternative to Liver Biopsies in Assessing
Liver Involvement in Subjects Coinfected with
HIV and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine which Single Photon
Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT)
parameters can be utilized in a staging
system comparable to parameters in current
hepatic staging systems for assessing liver
pathology.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Assessment with a liver biopsy is
currently the standard of practice to
determine the status of liver involvement in
patients with HCV. A direct comparison
between SPECT results and liver pathology has
been examined in patients with liver disease
other than infectious hepatitis. SPECT has
been found to be more accurate than standard
liver-spleen scans in assessing liver
pathology. While current data suggest that
liver pathology may correlate with SPECT,
which specific SPECT parameters are
predictive of certain hepatic pathology is
unknown. The pilot study will compare SPECT
parameters with the results of liver biopsies
to determine the limitations of SPECT.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: All screened patients are
registered into Step 1, in which they receive
a radioactive tracer injection and SPECT
scan. Specific SPECT parameters will be
measured to determine a grading scale
corresponding to that used in liver biopsy
results. Some patients undergoing a second
liver biopsy in A5071 are enrolled into Step
2, with permission from protocol co-chairs,
in which a pregnancy test and second SPECT
scan are performed. Patients are reimbursed
for completing each SPECT scan. SPECT scans
or copies are reviewed to establish which
parameters correspond to category E of the
Knodell stage based on severity of fibrosis.
PROTOCOL PHASE N/A
OPEN/CLOSED INDICATOR Open (010725)
PROTOCOL DETAILS STUDY INTENT: Natural history, Clinical
Evaluation.
PROTOCOL DETAILS PROJECTED ACCRUAL: 44 patients. At least 44

Have given consent for A5071 (if they are in
the screening process) or have enrolled in
A5071 and: are undergoing screening for A5071
and scheduled for a liver biopsy within 8
weeks, have had a liver biopsy within 12
weeks prior to enrollment in A5096, or are
enrolled in A5071 with plans to schedule a
liver biopsy within 8 weeks of having a SPECT
scan. 2. Intend to have a SPECT scan
conducted within 7 calendar days from the
time of A5096 registration. 3. Have a SPECT
scan no earlier than 2 weeks after the liver
biopsy but within 8 weeks of the liver biopsy
(if SPECT scan is not conducted prior to the
liver biopsy). Note: Patients off drug/on
study in A5071 and planning to have a liver
biopsy within 8 weeks are still eligible.
Note: Patients who have had the liver biopsy
and SPECT scan performed during screening for
A5071 but do not enter A5071 are still
eligible. The pathology will be obtained for
central review. In this circumstance, the
A5096 co-chairs should be contacted for
details on obtaining central pathology
readings on liver biopsies.

PROTOCOL TITLE Phase I/II, Open-Label, Pharmacokinetic and
Safety Study of a Novel Protease Inhibitor
(BMS 232632) in Combination Regimens in
Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)-Naive and
-Experienced HIV-Infected Infants, Children,
and Adolescents.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment IND
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment Naive
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine the pharmacokinetic
profile and dosing schedule of the capsule
formulation for BMS-232632 in combination
with 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitors (NRTIs) in HIV-infected children
and adolescents. To determine the
pharmacokinetic profile and dosing schedule
of the powder formulation for BMS-232632 in
combination with 2 NRTIs in HIV-infected
infants and young children. To determine the
safety and tolerability of BMS-232632 in
HIV-infected infants, children, and
adolescents.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Advancements in antiretroviral
drug treatments for HIV-infected children and
adolescents are hindered by patient
non-adherence. The availability of a powder
formulation and the once-daily dosing
schedule makes BMS-232632 an attractive agent
for improved adherence in pediatric treatment
regimens. This study is designed to provide
pharmacokinetic data to guide dosing
recommendations for BMS-232632 in infants,
children and adolescents. During the study,
the safety and tolerance of BMS-232632 will
be closely monitored, and preliminary
virologic efficacy data will be obtained.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: All patients receive the study
drug BMS-232632 once a day with 2 other
antiretroviral drugs (not provided by the
study). Patients are stratified into 1 of 4
groups with respect to age and study drug
formulation. Patients in Group 1 are infants
age 3 months and 1 day up to 2 years and take
BMS-232632 in powder form. Patients in Groups
2 and 3 are children age 2 years and 1 day up
to 13 years. Group 2 receives BMS-232632 in
powder form, while Group 3 receives the
capsule form. Patients in Group 4 are
adolescents age 13 years and 1 day up to 21
years and take BMS-232632 in capsule form.
Enrollment starts with 5 patients per
stratum. Patients within each stratum are
evaluated for pharmacokinetic and safety
criteria. The dose may be adjusted until one
is found that passes both sets of criteria,
then 5 additional patients are enrolled.
Enrollment continues for each stratum once
all patients within that stratum meet the
pharmacokinetics criteria. Patients continue
in the study until the last patient to enroll
in the study has reached Week 96 of his/her
treatment. Patients visit the clinic every 4
weeks through Week 48, then every 8 weeks. At
every visit, a complete medical history and
physical exam is performed, and urine and
blood samples are collected. Patients of
childbearing age have a pregnancy test
performed at each visit.

PROTOCOL TITLE Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness in
HIV-Infected and Uninfected Adults: A Pilot
Study.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: Cross-Sectional: To compare
differences in the baseline intima-media
thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery between
HIV-infected participants receiving protease
inhibitor (PI)-containing regimens and
participants not receiving PI-containing
regimens (Group 1 versus Group 2). To compare
differences in the baseline IMT of the
carotid artery between HIV-infected
participants and HIV-negative participants
(Group 2 versus Group 3 or Group 1 and Group
2 versus Group 3 as appropriate).
Longitudinal: To compare the rate of change
in the IMT of the carotid artery between
HIV-infected participants receiving
PI-containing regimens and participants not
receiving PI-containing regimens (Group 1
versus Group 2). To compare the rate of
change in IMT of the carotid artery between
HIV-infected participants and HIV-negative
participants (Group 2 versus Group 3 or Group
1 and Group 2 versus Group 3 as appropriate).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Determination of clinical, lipid,
and nonlipid risk factors has traditionally
been the approach for gauging an individual's
risk for coronary artery disease (CAD).
However, low-cost, noninvasive carotid artery
IMT has been found to demonstrate correlation
with CAD as good or better than lipid and
nonlipid risk factors. This study will
attempt to identify the role of PI therapy
and HIV infection on the risk of development
of subclinical atherosclerosis by comparing
carotid IMT among study groups.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Three groups are studied. Group
1 is composed of HIV-positive participants
who receive a PI-containing regimen. Group 2
is composed of HIV-positive participants who
do not receive a PI-containing regimen. Group
3 is composed of HIV-negative participants.
Participants at each site are enrolled into a
triad consisting of an individual from each
group. Each member of the triad is closely
matched by gender, age, smoking and
menopausal status, race, and normal or
hypertensive blood pressure. All 3 members of
the triad must be identified before they are
registered to the study. All participants
visit the clinic every 24 weeks for 96 weeks.
At each visit, participants have a physical
exam, a medical history covering the time
since their last visit, blood tests for
fasting lipids and glucose, and an IMT test.
The absolute value for carotid IMT is
compared among the 3 groups. Viral load and
CD4 counts are measured in Groups 1 and 2
participants. At Week 96 (the last visit)
participants in Group 3 are tested for HIV.

PROTOCOL TITLE Evaluation of the Relationship Between
Immunologic Recovery After Highly Active
Antiretroviral Therapy and the Ability to
Mobilize CD34+ Stem Cells Following G-CSF
Administration.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment Naive
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine whether stem cell
reserves present prior to initiation of
highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)
predict subsequent immunologic recovery after
maximal viral suppression. To determine the
effect of maximally suppressive
antiretroviral therapy on stem cell reserves.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: In HIV infection, a progressive
decline and/or dysfunction of several cell
types is seen. It is thought that stem cell
dysfunction or destruction may contribute to
the hematologic and immunologic perturbations
characteristic of HIV infection and may
possibly limit the extent of immunologic
recovery following HAART. This study proposes
to investigate whether stem cell function and
reserves are important in determining the
extent of immune reconstitution following
HAART.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are stratified
according to CD4 count. On Day 0, patients
receive a 7-day cycle of subcutaneous
granulocyte colony-stimulating factor
(G-CSF). Blood samples are collected
regularly, and on Day 14 patients undergo
real-time HIV-1 RNA determinations. On Day
28, or sooner if HIV RNA is at least 1 log
above baseline on Day 14, HAART consisting of
daily receipt of abacavir, lamivudine,
amprenavir, and ritonavir is initiated and
continues until Week 76. Patients who achieve
viral suppression (below 400 copies/ml of
plasma HIV-1 RNA) by Week 26 are eligible to
receive a second 7-day cycle of G-CSF at Week
28 and, if viral suppression continues
through Week 50, a third cycle of G-CSF at
Week 52. Patients are followed every 8 weeks
for changes in viral load. Additionally,
patients are monitored at regular intervals
for surrogate markers of immunologic recovery
and, during each cycle of G-CSF, for
measurements of stem cell mobilization.
Patients may also volunteer for A5085s (Bone
Marrow Aspirate Substudy) at participating
sites.

PROTOCOL TITLE Assessment of Prevalence and Persistence of
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) DNA in
HIV-Infected Women Who Are Antiretroviral
Naive and Have Initiated HAART.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment Naive
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To estimate the prevalence of human
papillomavirus (HPV) DNA at baseline among
HIV-infected women who are antiretroviral
naive. To estimate the rate of conversion to
negative HPV DNA after 48 weeks among
HIV-infected women who were HPV DNA positive
at baseline and responded to treatment with
highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)
through Year 1 (Week 48).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: HIV infection is a significant
risk factor for human HPV infection and the
development of HPV-associated lesions in the
female genital tract. Findings suggest that
HIV infection and/or HIV-related
immunosuppression increases a woman's
susceptibility to HPV infection or alters the
natural history of preexisting HPV infection.
Treatment with HAART has been shown to result
in significant increases in CD4+ cell counts
and partial reconstitution of the immune
system. It is not known whether treatment of
HIV infection with potent antiretroviral
regimens could affect the persistence of HPV
infection and progression of cervical
dysplasia. This study is important for
HIV-infected women because of the
implications for gynecologic management and
determination of cervical disease risk.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: At baseline, Weeks 24 and 48,
and then every 48 weeks until study
completion, women undergo pelvic examination
and cervical specimens collection by the
following methods: 1) Sno-strip; 2)
cervicovaginal lavage; 3) cervical brush
method; and 4) Pap smear. A colposcopy is
required for any woman who has an abnormal
Pap smear reading unless the abnormal Pap
smear is thought to be due to an intercurrent
infection. A cervical biopsy is strongly
recommended in the event of an abnormal
colposcopy. Blood is collected for HPV
antibody testing, viral load, and CD4
measures.

with Antiretroviral Therapy for a Minimum of
2 Years.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Vaccine
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Therapeutic AIDS Vaccine
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine the safety and
immunogenicity of 2 investigational vaccines,
ALVAC-HIV (vCP1452) and recombinant gp160
MN/LAI-2 with the novel adjuvant PCPP in
HIV-1 infected patients.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: HIV-infected patients treated with
antiretroviral therapy for prolonged periods
of time may show decreased levels of
HIV-specific immune responses. In these
patients, a prime-boost vaccine strategy may
induce both humoral and cell-mediated
immunity. The hypothesis of this study is
that the vaccine strategy selected will be
both safe and immunogenic in the patient
population being tested.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients continue antiretroviral
medications throughout the course of this
study. All patients receive intramuscular
injections of ALVAC-HIV (vCP 1452) and
recombinant soluble gp160 MN/LAI-2 on Days 0,
30, 90, and 180. Patients are monitored for
safety 30 minutes after each immunization and
by telephone contact within 72 hours of each
vaccination. In addition, each patient
records adverse events in a diary. Patients
have regular physical exams, pregnancy tests,
and blood drawn for virologic and immunologic
assessments. The induction of HIV-specific
responses will be measured.

PROTOCOL TITLE Evaluating Responses to Antiretroviral Drugs
in Cells and Tissues (The ERADICATE Study):
Comprehensive Comparisons of Viral and
Cellular Dynamics Among Previously-Untreated
Subjects with Acute HIV Infection
(Seroconversion Syndrome) or Recently
Acquired HIV Infection Versus the Early,
Middle, and Advanced Stages of Seropositive
HIV Infection.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment Naive
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: 1) To characterize, compare, and
contrast the decay curves for HIV RNA in
blood and other tissues in the setting of
acute HIV seroconversion and recently
acquired infection versus the early, middle,
and late stages of HIV infection in order to
assess the potential to achieve complete HIV
eradication from infected patients using
highly active antiretroviral therapy. 2) To
correlate serial quantitative HIV-1 RNA and
HIV-1 culture data obtained from blood with
concurrently obtained assays of other body
fluids and lymphoreticular tissues in order
to assess the viral burden in multiple body
compartments when very low or undetectable
plasma viral load has been achieved. 3) To
characterize the subtypes (T cells,
macrophages, others) and activation states
(by cell surface markers, local cytokine
production, etc.) of productively and
latently HIV-infected cells within
lymphoreticular and other body tissues during
the course of highly active therapy by
utilizing PCR-based and novel in situ
hybridization assays of biopsy materials. 4)
To describe the evolutionary dynamics of the
selection for resistant HIV subtypes within
several body compartments in acute versus
established HIV infection via serial
genotypic and phenotypic analyses of viral
isolates obtained before and during a course
of highly active combination therapy.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Recent advancements in
antiretroviral therapy have led to a better
understanding of the natural history and
immunopathogenesis of HIV-1 infection. To
calculate the degree and duration of
antiretroviral effect necessary to eliminate
infection, characterization of residual
cellular and tissue HIV reservoirs following
high-level viral suppression is necessary.
The ERADICATE study will evaluate the
hypothesis that complete viral inhibition is
possible, regardless of HIV disease stage,
and leads to HIV eradication from tissues
over time.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are divided into 1 of 5
groups based on the stage of HIV infection.
Patients receive oral stavudine (d4T),
lamivudine (3TC), indinavir (IDV), and
nelfinavir (NFV) twice daily for 24 weeks.
All patients undergo basic blood sampling to
follow HIV-1 RNA levels and absolute T cell
subset numbers daily for 5 days; then 3 times
a week for 3 weeks; 2 times a week for 4
weeks; every 2 weeks for 12 weeks; and
monthly thereafter for a total of 3 years. In
addition, the following tissues are sampled
at baseline and after 2 weeks and 6 months on
therapy: 1) lymph node; 2) tonsillar; 3)
perirectal lymphoid; 4) cerebrospinal fluid;
5) and semen.

PROTOCOL TITLE HIV-1 Resistance Testing During
Antiretroviral Failure: Comparison of
Sequencing Versus Phenotyping.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare time from randomization
to virologic failure between patients
assigned to sequencing (Arm A) versus those
assigned to phenotyping (Arm B).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: The emergence of drug resistance
is a major factor contributing to the failure
of antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected
patients. Drug resistance can be detected by
genotypic or phenotypic assays, both having
distinct advantages and disadvantages.
Results from genotypic and phenotypic testing
are helpful in excluding from the subsequent
regimen drugs to which the resistance is
identified, and both tests predict virologic
response to salvage therapy in patients who
have failed a previous regimen. Resistance
testing is likely to be beneficial as an aid
in selecting a salvage regimen.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: At entry, patients are
randomized to Arm A (sequencing) or Arm B
(phenotyping) and have a resistance test
drawn while still receiving the current
regimen even though regimen failure is
suspected. The test results are available
between Weeks 1 and 4, inclusive. There are
weekly visits for the first 4 weeks after
entry to monitor viral load and maintenance
of the current failing (prestudy) regimen. If
virologic failure is confirmed, a new regimen
is chosen and prescribed at the first visit
after resistance test results are available.
[AS PER AMENDMENT 12/6/00: If the resistance
assay fails to yield results, another regimen
is chosen and prescribed based on the
patient's medical and medication history.] If
virologic failure is not confirmed, the
current drug regimen is not changed.
Otherwise, on-site study visits occur every 4
weeks until Week 24 and then every 8 weeks
thereafter through Week 48. [AS PER AMENDMENT
12/6/00: on-site study visits occur every 4
weeks until Week 24 and then every 8 weeks

PROTOCOL ID NUMBERS NIAID AIEDRP AI-08-003
PROTOCOL TITLE Quantitative Assessment of Viral and
Lymphocyte Dynamics in Blood and
Lymphoreticular Tissues of HIV-1 Infected
Patients Treated with Antiretroviral Agents.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To obtain a comprehensive molecular
assessment of HIV-1 load and expression in
blood and secondary lymphoid organs,
including lymph node, tonsil, and gut. To
evaluate the kinetics of turnover of each
viral component following the initiation of
antiretroviral therapy as a means to
determine the respective lifespans
(half-lives) of virus and of different viral
RNA and DNA species. To evaluate the response
of CD4+, CD8, and other lymphocyte
populations to antiretroviral therapy. To
develop a mathematical model of virus-host
interaction based on accurate measurements of
HIV-1 and CD4+ lymphocyte dynamics.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: The natural history and
pathogenesis of HIV-1 infection are linked
closely to the replication of virus in the
body. Studies obtained entirely from analyses
of peripheral blood led to a shift in the
understanding of HIV-1 pathogenesis. Recent
studies have shown that lymphoid tissues are
a major reservoir for HIV and the primary
site of virus replication. The proposed
studies will provide the first comprehensive
assessment of HIV-1 expression and lymphocyte
response in both blood and lymphocyte tissue
compartments. The data obtained will provide
new insight into HIV-1 pathogenesis and
provide a more rational basis for treatment
decisions concerning early therapy of HIV-1
infection.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are admitted to the
hospital for insertion of an angiocath to
collect blood samples periodically over 48
hours on the day study medication from the
parent study is initiated. After discharge,
additional blood samples are obtained over a
6-month period. Within 7 days prior to a
scheduled biopsy, patients have physical
examinations and laboratory evaluations done.
All patients undergo some combination of the
following during the 2-week prestudy
evaluation period and at Weeks 4 and 24: a)
superficial lymph node biopsy from cervical,
axillary, or inguinal area; b) rectal biopsy;
and/or c) tonsillar biopsy. The tissue
samples provide an assessment of viral and
cellular dynamics.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Single Center, Randomized Open Label Study
of Initial Interleukin-2 Compared to Delayed
Interleukin-2 When Added to Zidovudine, 3TC
and Nelfinavir In Order to Modulate Immune
Function and to Sustain Suppression of HIV-1
Replication Among Those Persons with Primary
or Early HIV Infection.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To evaluate dynamics of HIV in
different tissue compartments of maximally
suppressive antiretroviral medications with
interleukin-2 (IL-2) influences on viral
pathogenesis and immune responses to HIV
infection. To determine the patterns of
immunologic activation as measured by cell
surface marker levels and soluble and
cell-associated cytokines when persons with
acute or early HIV infection are treated with
antiretrovirals and IL-2. To examine whether
the extent of CD8+ cell anti-viral activity
as measured by non-cytotoxic and cytotoxic
responses affects the kinetics of viral
replication and viral load in various tissue
compartments. To determine whether a broad
cellular immune response to HIV infection,
measured by T cell repertoire, cytotoxic T
cell lymphocyte function, and CD4 T helper
function, correlates with the patterns of
cellular immune anti-viral responses among
persons with acute and early HIV infection
treated with antiretrovirals and IL-2.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Following initial exposure to HIV,
infection is established through the rapid
replication of a homogeneous strain of the
virus. Preliminary studies of combination
antiretroviral therapy show that it is
possible to reduce circulating HIV RNA to
below detectable levels at this phase.
Sustained suppression of viral replication or
viral eradication may be possible only before
HIV has become integrated in the immune
system and undergone a number of quasi
species mutations. This study will assess the
feasibility of interrupting the natural
course of HIV infection by using
antiretroviral therapy soon after initial
infection.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Nelfinavir (NFV) and
zidovudine/lamivudine (Combivir) treatment
starts as soon as possible and at most, 7
days from the diagnosis of HIV infection, and
continues for 104 weeks. After 4 weeks of
therapy patients are randomized to begin
receiving IL-2 therapy or to delay starting
it until Week 48. Patients may choose not to
receive IL-2 treatment and remain in the
study. Patients have clinic visits to measure
viral load every 4 weeks. At a final clinic
visit, physical examinations and collection
of semen, cervical fluid, blood, and saliva
specimens are done. Eligible consenting
patients have a tonsil biopsy. Patients are
reimbursed for participation in this study.

PROTOCOL TITLE An Open-Label, Single Center Trial to
Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Quadruple
Chemotherapy (Zidovudine, EPIVIR, 1592U89,
and 141W94) in Subjects Infected with HIV-1
(GW QUAD).
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: 1. To determine the safety and
efficacy of combination chemotherapy in HIV-1
infected patients using 141W94 (amprenavir
[APV]) and 1592U89 (abacavir [ABC]) in
combination with zidovudine (ZDV)/ lamivudine
(3TC). 2. To determine the dynamics of HIV-1
in gut-associated lymphoid tissue in the
gastrointestinal tract. a. To compare viral
activity in the lymph tissue of the
gastrointestinal tract to that of plasma. b.
To determine the rate of decay of HIV-1 in
tissue. 3. To determine the change in
lymphocyte subpopulations in blood and
gastrointestinal lymphoid tissue in patients
treated with combination antiretroviral
therapy (ART). 4. To monitor the decay of
HIV-1 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in
patients who have detectable HIV-1 in CSF at
baseline.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: With effective combination ART,
there is a decrease in HIV-1 RNA in plasma
after 2 to 3 weeks. A second, slower phase of
viral decay is thought to occur in long-lived
macrophages, with a minimal contribution from
lymphocytes. This study addresses whether
there is a third reservoir such as the
central nervous system. Additionally, the
study aims to provide a better understanding
of the type and length of ART required to
suppress HIV-1 replication in multiple
reservoirs.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients receive treatment with
ZDV, 3TC, ABC, and APV daily for 24 weeks.
Clinic visits occur weekly until Week 4, then
every 2 weeks until Week 12, then monthly.
Blood and urine samples are collected and
patients are monitored for clinical or
laboratory abnormalities. Laboratory tests to
assess side effects and virologic and
immunologic parameters, including viral
quantification of CSF on all chronically
infected patients and selected consenting
acutely infected patients, are determined. In
a pharmacoeconomic component of this study,
patients have interviews and complete
questionnaires at 5 clinic visits.

PROTOCOL TITLE Evaluation of Subjects with Primary or Early
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment Naive
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To assess if potent antiretroviral
therapy early in the course of HIV infection
can lead to the absence of detectable viral
replication in the plasma and tissues. To
compare the absence of detectable viral
replication in the plasma and tissues by
standard RNA PCR (less than 200 copies/ml)
and culture techniques versus by
ultrasensitive RNA-PCR (less than 20
copies/ml) and culture techniques while on
potent therapy. To assess the clearance of
proviral DNA during potent antiretroviral
therapy early in the course of HIV infection
and whether the presence of proviral DNA will
lead to detectable RNA levels following the
discontinuation of potent antiretroviral
therapy.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Primary and early HIV infection
represents a potentially unique opportunity
to better understand the pathogenesis of HIV
infection, as well as to potentially prevent
the establishment of latent infection.
Approved antiretroviral therapy is able to
reduce plasma viremia to unmeasurable levels
in established infection and several groups
have observed comparable effects in recently
infected adults. This study is designed to
evaluate and follow a cohort of patients with
primary or early HIV infection and to
evaluate the time course of latent infection
and whether latent infection in CD4 cells
will allow viral persistence despite
antiretroviral therapy.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients begin antiretroviral
therapy within 7 days of enrollment. All
patients are evaluated for treatment
compliance and complete a compliance
questionnaire regularly. Clinical
evaluations, including CD4, CD8, and HIV RNA
counts also are done regularly.
Antiretroviral therapy is discontinued if
there is no detectable virus by
ultrasensitive assay and culture techniques
in plasma, PBMCs, and lymphoid tissue. In a
subset of patients, genital secretions and
CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) are evaluated. If
relapse occurs, antiretroviral therapy is
re-instituted. In addition, virology and
immunology substudies are performed.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Trial
Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of
Fenofibrate Versus Pravastatin in
HIV-Infected Subjects with Lipid
Abnormalities.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine whether fenofibrate and
pravastatin are equivalent (with respect to
clinical response) in the treatment of
HIV-related hyperlipidemia at Week 12. To
compare the safety (with respect to changes
in laboratory parameters and the occurrence
of adverse events) of fenofibrate versus
pravastatin in the treatment of HIV-related
hyperlipidemia at Week 12.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Lipid disorders associated with
HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy are
of growing concern. There is little
information available on the safety and
efficacy of statins or fibrates in the
treatment of HIV-associated hyperlipidemias.
Fenofibrate and pravastatin both are able to
reduce low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and
triglycerides (TG), but it is unclear whether
one therapy will be more effective than the
other, or if combination therapy will be
needed to achieve desirable reductions in
both LDL and TG.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are randomized to
either Arm A or Arm B and stratified by
gender, TG level, and number of
cardiovascular risk factors. Patients add
daily fenofibrate (Arm A) or pravastatin (Arm
B) to their antiretroviral therapy for 48
weeks. Evaluations at Week 12 determine LDL,
TG, and high-density lipid (HDL) levels.
Patients who achieve clinical goals for these
levels stay on the drug for the rest of the
study. Patients who do not achieve the goals
by Week 12 receive a combination of
pravastatin and fenofibrate for the rest of
the study. At regular clinic visits, patients
have physical exams and are questioned about
their medications, diet, and exercise. Blood
samples are drawn for clinical evaluations,
including lipid profiles and HIV-1 RNA
monitoring.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Randomized, Open-Label Study to Evaluate 3
Salvage Regimens in HIV-Infected Subjects
Experiencing Virologic Failure on an Initial
HAART Regimen Containing Nelfinavir.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy
of 3 salvage regimens in HIV-positive
patients experiencing virologic failure on an
initial antiretroviral regimen containing
nelfinavir (NFV).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE:
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients receive 1 of 3 salvage
regimens. Treatments A and B include
delavirdine, 1 of 2 doses of indinavir, and 2
nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
(NRTIs) to which the patient has not been
exposed. Treatment C includes ritonavir,
indinavir, and 2 NRTIs to which the patient
has not been exposed. When virologic failure
is first observed, the patient must return in
2 weeks for confirmation of failure and start
the salvage regimen within 1 month of the
first assay in which failure was observed.
Patients who have less than 400 copies/ml HIV
RNA after 16 weeks of therapy are considered
responders and continue on the study. Those
who have more than 400 copies/ml after 16
weeks of therapy are considered nonresponders
and should be discontinued from the study. In
addition, patients who respond and
subsequently rebound with a viral load 0.5
log above the nadir and greater than 400
copies/ml on 2 consecutive assays at least 2
weeks apart are considered treatment failures
and should be discontinued from the study.
Patients have regular physical exams, as well
as virologic, immunologic, and
pharmacokinetic assessments.

PROTOCOL TITLE Discontinuation of Antifungal Therapy for
Histoplasmosis Following Immunologic Response
to Antiretroviral Therapy.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Opportunistic Infections
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine if maintenance therapy
for histoplasmosis can be discontinued with
relapse rates below 20 percent.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Histoplasmosis is a serious
opportunistic infection in persons with AIDS
that demonstrates an excellent response to
antifungal therapy. However, until the advent
of highly active antiretroviral therapy
(HAART), patients with histoplasmosis
required lifelong suppressive antifungal
therapy. It is thought that immune
reconstitution as a result of HAART may
diminish the need for chronic therapy.
Histoplasmosis offers an opportunity to
examine the concept of discontinuation of
maintenance therapy as it is rapidly
diagnosed and effectively treated with
itraconazole [AS PER AMENDMENT 9/27/00: or
other appropriate therapy for disseminated
histoplasmosis] should relapse occur.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients discontinue antifungal
maintenance therapy. Patients are seen for
routine visits every 8 weeks and urine and
serum specimens are collected for real time
Histoplasma antigen testing and immunologic
parameters. Patients with suspected
recurrence, as determined by clinical or
routine laboratory findings consistent with
recurrent histoplasmosis, are reevaluated
within 1 week of onset of these findings.
Patients with suspected recurrence based on a
serum or urine Histoplasma antigen rise of 2
units or more, in the absence of clinical or
routine laboratory findings consistent with
histoplasmosis, are reevaluated within 2
weeks. All patients with suspected recurrence
have more frequent evaluations and additional
laboratory tests. Those with negative studies
resume bimonthly follow-up. All patients who
develop proven (positive culture or positive
fungal stain of tissues or body fluids) or
probable relapse (clinical findings of
relapse with an increase in antigen of 4.1
units or more, or no clinical findings but
increases in antigen levels on repeated
testing with the most recent antigen test
demonstrating an increase in antigen of 4.1
units or more) or who experience persistent
reduction of CD4 cell count to below 100/mm3
have antifungal induction therapy
reinstituted. Patients remain on study for at
least 12 months with regular
follow-up/evaluations.

PROTOCOL TITLE Hormonal Contraception and the Risk of HIV
Acquisition.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To measure the effect of combined
oral contraceptive (COC) and
Depot-Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA) use
on the acquisition of HIV infection by
comparing the rate of infection among women
using COCs and DMPA with the rate among women
not using hormonal contraception.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Heterosexual intercourse is the
primary mode of HIV transmission worldwide
and accounts for about 90% of HIV infections
in women. Hormonal contraceptives including
COCs and injectables are among the most
widely used contraceptives in the world.
Understanding the impact of hormonal
contraception on HIV transmission is a
critical unanswered public health question.
Because of the critical nature of this issue
to women of reproductive age worldwide, a
methodologically sound study must be
undertaken. It must be determined if hormonal
contraceptive use increases the risk of HIV
infection and the magnitude of the
association, if it exists.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: This study takes place in
Thailand, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.
HIV-seronegative women continue using their
current birth control method (low dose COC,
DMPA injections, or non-hormonal
contraceptive methods [condoms,
sterilization, or no modern contraception
method]) for the duration of the study. They
are followed every 12 weeks for a minimum of
15 months and a maximum of 24 months, or
until seroconversion. Pelvic exams, including
Pap smears, are done, blood samples are
drawn, and vaginal and cervical specimens are
tested for any sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs). Women are provided with free
treatment for any STDs that are diagnosed.
They complete a questionnaire on sexual
behavior and contraceptive history;
counseling on contraceptive use and reducing
HIV risk is provided.

UNIQUE IDENTIFIER NIH/01296
PROTOCOL ID NUMBERS NIAID ACTG A5024
PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase II, Randomized, Partially Blinded
Trial of Combinations of Potent
Antiretroviral Therapy, HIV-Specific
Immunizations, and Cycles of Interleukin-2 to
Promote Efficient Control of Viral
Replication.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Vaccine
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Therapeutic AIDS Vaccine
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine whether the addition of
interleukin-2 (IL-2) cycles and/or
HIV-specific immunizations to potent
antiretroviral therapy, compared with
receiving potent antiretroviral therapy
alone, results in more efficient immune
control of viral replication during an
interruption in potent antiretroviral therapy
by comparing the median absolute viral load
for each arm (average of 2 values obtained 5
to 6 weeks following interruption of potent
antiretroviral therapy). To determine the
safety and tolerability of administering IL-2
and/or HIV-specific vaccinations in
combination with potent antiretroviral
therapy regimens to HIV-infected patients for
1 year. To determine the safety and
tolerability of interrupting potent
antiretroviral therapy for a minimum of 6
weeks following greater than 18 months of
plasma viral load suppression with or without
the addition of T-cell activation treatment
strategies.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: The most important goal for
designing future therapeutic interventions is
to understand the nature of persistent HIV
infection in patients successfully treated
with potent antiretroviral therapy and to
develop strategies to promote the clearance
of these reservoirs or at least long-term
suppression of these reservoirs. If latently
infected cells are able to persist for a long
period (despite effective suppression of de
novo infection) primarily because immune
clearance is not being adequately stimulated
by viral antigen, then HIV-specific
immunization is a reasonable strategy to
enhance the clearance of these cells.
Stimulating effective HIV-specific cellular
immune responses at a time when plasma
viremia is maximally suppressed also may
contribute to the long-term containment of
HIV replication on potent antiretroviral
therapy. A second component to be evaluated
in this trial is whether broad, cyclical
activation of T cells with IL-2 will increase
the activation of HIV proviral gene
expression and thereby render target cells
susceptible to immune-mediated clearance.
This pathogenesis-based clinical trial will
explore the potential for these novel
treatment strategies (HIV-specific
immunization and IL-2, alone and in
combination) to complement the effects of
potent antiretroviral therapy by promoting
more effective immunologic control of HIV-1
replication.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: This study is divided into 3
steps. STEP I: Patients continue to receive
their potent antiretroviral therapy and are
randomized to 1 of 4 arms: Arm A: Vaccine
placebo; Arm B: Canarypox HIV-specific
immunogen (vCP1452); Arm C: 8-week cycles of
IL-2 plus vaccine placebo; Arm D: 8-week
cycles of IL-2 plus canarypox HIV-specific
immunogen (vCP1452). Patients receive vaccine
(or vaccine placebo) injections at Weeks 0,
8, 16, 24, and 48. IL-2 injections are
synchronized with vaccine injections. IL-2 is
given open-label while vCP1452 is
double-blinded. Patients must be on Step I
for a minimum of 51 weeks. STEP II: Patients
stop study medications and interrupt potent
antiretroviral therapy for 6 to 16 weeks.
Patients whose viral load during Step II
remains below 5,000 copies/ml are encouraged
to remain off antiretroviral medications and
continue viral-load monitoring for up to an
additional 10 weeks. These patients are
followed for up to 16 weeks on Step II and do
not register to Step III unless their viral
load increases to above 5,000 copies/ml,
their CD4 count decreases to below 200
cells/mm3, or approval is received from the
Protocol Chair/ Vice-Chair to join a
roll-over study. STEP III: Patients resume
their original potent antiretroviral therapy
regimen for 6 to 10 weeks and are monitored
for a minimum of 6 weeks. If patients do not
achieve a viral load below 50 copies/ml
during those 6 weeks, they continue to be
monitored for up to an additional 4 weeks
until this degree of suppression is achieved
with the same potent antiretroviral therapy
regimen or another appropriate regimen.

OTHER TREATMENT INFO. DOSAGE SCHEDULE: Drug 1: Arms B and D: 1 ml
at Weeks 0, 8, 16, 24, and 48. Drug 2: Arms C
and D: 4.5 MIU bid for 5 days every 8 weeks
(beginning at Week 0) for 48 weeks
OTHER TREATMENT INFO. DELIVERY MODE: Drug 1: Intramuscular. Drug 2:
Subcutaneous
OTHER TREATMENT INFO. END POINT: Immune control of viral
replication during an interruption in
antiretroviral therapy defined as the mean of
the log10 (HIV RNA copies/ml) obtained at
Weeks 5 and 6 following interruption of
potent antiretroviral therapy.
OTHER TREATMENT INFO. DISCONTINUE: Patients prematurely
discontinued after receipt of any IL-2 and/or
vaccine (vCP1452 or placebo) prior to Week 52
will be followed on-study, off treatment
until Week 48 (unless the patient meets
eligibility criteria for Step II) and then
discontinued from study. Patients may be
discontinued from the study for the following
reasons: 1. Patient is non-adherent with
study medications or clinic visits. 2.
Treatment-related toxicity that requires
permanent study treatment discontinuation and
patient does not meet minimum treatment
requirements for entry onto Step II. 3.
Required use of any prohibited medications.
4. Patient voluntarily withdraws from the
study for any reason. 5. Pregnancy and
breast-feeding. Patient will be followed for
safety for at least 1 month. 6. Patient
discontinues antiretroviral therapy for 4
weeks or longer on Steps I or III. 7. Patient
changes antiretroviral drugs without
consulting the site investigator (protocol
team should be consulted prior to
discontinuing patient from study). 8. CD4
count below 200 cells/mm3 on 2 consecutive
occasions on Step I only. Study
discontinuation will not occur until after
Week 48 follow-up. 9. Development of an
AIDS-defining illness (other than cutaneous
Kaposi's sarcoma, see exclusion criteria) at
any time on-study. 10. HIV-1 RNA levels rise
above 5,000 copies/ml on 2 consecutive
occasions during Step I (and the rise is not
believed to be related to transient illness
or temporary interruption in dosing). Patient
should consult the primary care physician
regarding a change in antiretroviral therapy
and be followed on-study but off study drug.
The patient will receive all evaluations
scheduled at Weeks 16 and 48. Patient will
not be eligible for entry to Step II and
should be permanently discontinued from the
study after completion of the Week 48
evaluations.
OTHER TREATMENT INFO. MODIFICATION: IL-2 may be permanently
discontinued or interrupted due to
unacceptable toxicities as outlined in the
protocol. If IL-2 is interrupted, the
patient's next cycle will be dose-reduced.
However, patients who have their IL-2
interrupted for intolerability can have it
resumed at the same dose or at 1 dose-level
reduction. Patients who experience an
elevation in CD4 cell count to above 2,000
cells/mm3 while receiving IL-2 will receive
injections every 16 weeks for the duration of
Step I.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase II Exploratory Study Examining
Immunologic and Virologic Indices in Two
Age-Differentiated Cohorts of HIV-Infected
Subjects to Explore the Basis of Accelerated
HIV-Disease Progression Associated with
Aging.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment Naive
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare the magnitude of changes
in naive (CD45RA+/CD62L+) CD4+ lymphocytes
between 2 age-differentiated study groups
after 48 weeks of study treatment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Older age is an important risk
factor for accelerated HIV-disease
progression. However, the virologic response
to highly active antiretroviral therapy
(HAART) may be superior in older persons. A
better understanding of the immunologic,
virologic, and behavioral mechanisms that
underlie these age-related differences may
help to elucidate critical immune responses
that are necessary to control the progression
of HIV-disease.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are grouped according
to age. Group A consists of patients between
the ages of 13 and 30 years. Group B consists
of patients age 45 years or older. All
patients receive open-label
lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/RTV) plus
emtricitabine (FTC) plus stavudine (d4T) for
96 weeks. Study visits occur at pre-entry,
entry, and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 then
every 12 weeks thereafter through Week 96.
Clinical assessments, safety laboratory
tests, CD4 cell count monitoring, lymphocyte
phenotyping, and HIV-1 RNA determinations are
performed routinely. Blood samples are stored
for further immunology and virology studies.
Patients may volunteer to participate in
virology substudy A5020s and either
immunology substudy A5016s or A5017s.

PROTOCOL TITLE Effect of Antiretroviral Therapy on Body
Composition in HIV-Infected Children.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To describe changes in body
composition in HIV-infected children at 12,
24, 36, and 48 weeks after, compared to
before, beginning or changing antiretroviral
therapy, and to describe age differences in
these changes in body composition. To
correlate changes in body composition with
changes in viral load and CD4+ cell counts in
HIV-infected children beginning or changing
antiretroviral therapy over 12-, 24-, 36-,
and 48-week periods. To measure cytokines in
HIV-infected children beginning or changing
antiretroviral therapy over 12-, 24-, 36-,
and 48-week periods and to correlate changes
in body composition with changes in
cytokines. To correlate changes in body
composition at 12 weeks with changes in
height and weight growth velocities at 24,
36, and 48 weeks.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Despite accumulating data in
adults, little information is available
regarding the effects of HIV infection and
antiretroviral therapy on body composition in
children. Preliminary information indicates
that lean body mass is lost in preference to
fat mass in HIV-infected children, supporting
the theory that failure to thrive in HIV
infection is often cytokine mediated. It can
be hypothesized that changes in body
composition (lean body mass) may predict
changes in weight growth velocity and may
give an early clinical indication of
treatment failure. If so, body composition
measurement may yield an additional outcome
measure for clinical trials, equivalent in
utility to other laboratory measures of
treatment response, e.g., persistent CD4+
cell count changes. Additionally, if body
composition changes are highly correlated
with responses in viral load, body
composition may prove to be a more affordable
measure of antiretroviral effectiveness in
developing countries.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: This study is a nonrandomized,
observational study. Children are recruited
to each of 4 age strata: Stratum A: 1 month
to 18 months. Stratum B: greater than 18
months to 3 years. Stratum C: greater than 3
years to 8 years. Stratum D: greater than 8
years to less than 13 years. Children
beginning or changing antiretroviral therapy
and fulfilling the study specifications may
be enrolled in the study. Children have 5
outpatient clinic visits, at entry and at 12,
24, 36, and 48 weeks, for anthropometry, body
composition by bioelectrical impedance
analysis, cytokine levels, viral load, CD4+
cell count, and markers of lipid and glucose
metabolism.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Randomized Study of a Prescribed 4-Month
Structured Treatment Interruption (STI)
Followed by Initiation of a New
Antiretroviral Regimen Versus Immediate
Initiation of a New Antiretroviral Regimen in
HIV-Infected Patients with Multidrug
Resistant (MDR) Virus.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare the long-term (minimum 24
months) clinical benefits and risks of a
4-month structured treatment interruption
(STI) followed by a new antiretroviral drug
regimen with immediately initiating a new
antiretroviral drug regimen.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: An increasing number of patients
are developing multidrug-resistant (MDR)
virus, as determined by genotypic
antiretroviral resistance testing (GART), due
to treatment failure to suppress viral
replication after several rounds of
combination antiretroviral therapy. The best
therapeutic strategy for these patients is
uncertain. Two strategies currently being
used are (1) STI followed by a new
antiretroviral regimen and (2) immediate
initiation of a new antiretroviral regimen.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are screened for the
presence of MDR virus and a plasma HIV RNA
level greater than 10,000 [AS PER AMENDMENT
7/3/01: greater than 5,000] copies/ml.
Eligible patients attend a baseline visit [AS
PER AMENDMENT 7/3/01: and a subsequent
randomization visit] where the qualifying
GART results are provided. Patients who
consent to participate have phenotypic
antiretroviral resistance testing (PART) done
on a specimen from the same blood draw that
was used for the GART evaluation. After PART
results are available, patients are
randomized [AS PER AMENDMENT 7/3/01: If the
predicted sensitivities are not available for
some or all drugs included in the PART, the
patient may still be randomized.] to either a
4-month STI followed by a new antiretroviral
regimen or an immediate new antiretroviral
regimen. The antiretroviral regimens chosen
are based on the patients' history and both
GART and PART results. [AS PER AMENDMENT
7/3/01: Additional GART and PART may be
requested after at least 4 months of
antiretroviral treatment.] Patients have the
follow-up data collection done at Months 1-8,
12, and every 4 months thereafter. Changes in
antiretroviral therapy, Grade 4 adverse
experiences, progression of disease, and
deaths are reported as they occur. Patients
are seen for clinical management as often as
deemed necessary. All patients are followed
to a common closing date estimated to be 24
months after the last patient is randomized.
Some patients may participate in a Point
Mutation Substudy [AS PER AMENDMENT 7/3/01:
Plasma Point Mutation Substudy and PBMC Point
Mutation Substudy].

PATIENT INCLUSION CRIT. GENERAL INCLUSION CRITERIA: Patients must
have: 1. Evidence of MDR virus based on the
results of GART, performed by a
CPCRA-approved laboratory, from a specimen
[AS PER AMENDMENT 7/3/01: the following text
has been deleted: obtained within 45 days
prior to the baseline visit]. MDR virus is
defined as a virus with [AS PER AMENDMENT
7/3/01: a)] broad protease inhibitor (PI)
resistance combined with broad nonnucleoside
reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)
resistance [AS PER AMENDMENT 7/3/01: or]
broad nucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitor (NRTI) resistance, or both [AS PER
AMENDMENT 7/3/01:or b) broad NNRTI resistance
and broad NRTI resistance and at least 1 PI
mutation from the broad PI mutation list].
Specifically, to be considered MDR, the virus
must have at least 2 of the following
mutations in the protease gene (broad PI
resistance): 90M, 48V, 82A/F/T, 84V, [AS PER
AMENDMENT 7/3/01: 50V, and] 46I/L. In
addition, the virus must have at least 1 of
the following sets of mutations in the RT
gene: (1) Broad NNRTI resistance - 103N, or
[AS PER AMENDMENT 7/3/01: 181C or at least] 2
of the following mutations: 101E, 106A, 108I,
[AS PER AMENDMENT 7/3/01:181C/I has been
deleted and the following added: 181I] ,
188C, 190A/S; (2) Broad NRTI resistance -
151M or 69S(XX) insertion or a combination of
215Y/F with at least 1 of the following
mutations: 184V, 74V, 65R, 69D. 2. Plasma HIV
RNA above 10,000 [AS PER AMENDMENT 7/3/01:
above 5,000] copies/ml from the same blood
draw as the qualifying GART specimen. 3. An
ophthalmologic exam prior to randomization
(for patients with a history of
cytomegalovirus [CMV] retinitis). 4. Signed
informed consent of parent or guardian if
under 18.
PATIENT INCLUSION CRIT. CD4 (T4 CELL) COUNT: Unspecified.
PATIENT INCLUSION CRIT. REPRODUCTIVE CRITERIA: Not breast-feeding Not
pregnant Negative pregnancy test within 7
days of study entry.
PATIENT INCLUSION CRIT. PRIOR MEDICATION: Required: Stable
antiretroviral regimen between 14 days prior
to when the patient's qualifying GART
specimen was obtained and randomization. For
the purposes of this protocol, a stable
antiretroviral regimen is defined as having
no more than one drug added to, or
discontinued from, the regimen. However, any
or all of the patient's antiretroviral drugs
may be temporarily discontinued for a single
period lasting no more than 14 days during
the time between when the qualifying GART
specimen was obtained and 15 days prior to
randomization.
PATIENT INCLUSION CRIT. CONCURRENT MEDICATION: Required: Intention of
patient and clinician to initiate a new
antiretroviral drug regimen for the patient
at the protocol-designated times.
Recommended: 1. If primary or secondary
prophylaxis for Pneumocystis carinii
pneumonia (PCP) or Mycobacterium avium
complex (MAC) infection has been withdrawn
due to CD4 cell count rebound, it is
recommended that prophylaxis be resumed prior
to randomization. 2. Prophylaxis for
opportunistic infections in keeping with
USPHS/IDSA guidelines.
PATIENT INCLUSION CRIT. PATIENT AGE: Greater than or equal to 13
years less than or equal to N/A.
PATIENT EXCLUSION CRIT. GENERAL EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Patients with the
following prior conditions are excluded:
Intercurrent illness within 14 days prior to
the time that either the screening or
randomization GART specimen was obtained and
that, in the clinician's judgment, could
influence the patient's HIV RNA level.
PATIENT EXCLUSION CRIT. PRIOR MEDICATION: Excluded: 1. Vaccinations
within 14 days prior to the time that either
the screening or randomization GART specimen
was obtained and that, in the clinician's
judgment, could influence the patient's HIV
RNA level. 2. IL-2 within 120 days prior to
the date when the qualifying GART specimen
was obtained or any use between that date and
randomization.
PATIENT EXCLUSION CRIT. CONCURRENT MEDICATION: Excluded: IL-2 during
the 12-month period following randomization.
PATIENT EXCLUSION CRIT. COMPLICATIONS: Patients with the following
conditions are excluded: 1. Active
opportunistic infection requiring acute
treatment. 2. Currently being followed in the
PIP study (CPCRA 057).
OTHER TREATMENT INFO. END POINT: Clinical disease progression (as
defined in the CPCRA Data Collection
Handbook) or death.
OTHER TREATMENT INFO. MODIFICATION: Patients assigned to the STI
group are strongly encouraged to initiate
antiretroviral regimens under the following
conditions: 1. Progression of disease (as
defined in the CPCRA Data Collection
Handbook). 2. A 50% drop in CD4 cell count
for patients whose average of the baseline
and randomization counts is 100 cells/mm3 or
greater. Due to the intra-person variability
of CD4 cell count measurements, this 50% drop
should be confirmed by a second CD4 cell
count. The following general clinical
guidelines may be applied for managing
toxicities (however, the general clinical
condition of the patient should always be
considered): 1. For Grade 1 toxicities, the
patient should be followed carefully, and the
antiretroviral drug(s) should be continued.
2. For Grade 2 toxicities, the patient should
be more carefully followed, with additional
laboratory and/or clinical appointments as
necessary, and the antiretroviral drugs may
be temporarily held at the clinician's
discretion. 3. For any Grade 3 toxicity that,
in the clinician's judgment, is due to the
antiretroviral drug(s), the causative
antiretroviral drug(s) and all other
antiretroviral agents should be withheld.
When possible, concomitant medications should
be held first at the discretion of the
investigator if he or she suspects that they
are contributing to the toxicity and not the
antiretroviral agents. Depending on the
nature and severity of the toxicity, the
degree to which it resolves, and/or the
emergence of alternative explanations for the
toxicity, or the patient's deterioration, the
antiretroviral drug(s) may be restarted at
the clinician's discretion. 4. For any Grade
4 toxicity, as well as any recurring Grade 3
toxicity, the antiretroviral drug(s) should
be temporarily held and may be permanently
stopped at the discretion of the clinician.

Regimen Using ALVAC vCP1452 and AIDSVAX B/B.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
TRIAL CATEGORY Vaccine
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Preventative HIV Vaccine
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To confirm safety of ALVAC-HIV
vCP1452 in a study population similar to that
proposed for Phase III studies. To
characterize the safety of ALVAC vCP1452
given in combination with subunit rgp120
formulated in alum adjuvant [AS PER AMENDMENT
10/12/00: aluminum hydroxide adjuvant]. To
define the frequency of CD8+ CTL responses
induced by ALVAC vCP1452 alone [AS PER
AMENDMENT 10/12/00: (Group A)] or in
combination with B/B rgp120 (Groups A and B)
[AS PER AMENDMENT 10/12/00: (Groups B and
C)].
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: There is no cure for HIV infection
or AIDS, and drug therapy is too expensive
for most affected populations. For this
reason, the development of safe, effective
vaccines to prevent HIV infections worldwide
is needed. ALVAC vCP1452 and MN rgp120/HIV-1
have been shown to be well tolerated in Phase
I and II studies. ALVAC vCP1452 given alone
or in combination with subunit antigens [AS
PER AMENDMENT 10/12/00: antigen] is a
candidate vaccine to be evaluated for the
ability to produce and express vaccine
antigen in greater quantity for a longer time
and with improved immunogenicity.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Volunteers are randomized to 1
of 7 [AS PER AMENDMENT 10/12/00: 1 of 4]
groups and stratified by risk status. Prior
to immunization, evaluations and blood draws
are done to monitor hematological, chemical,
and immunologic parameters. Volunteers
receive 2 injections of the following
vaccines at Months 0, 1, 3, and 6: Group A:
ALVAC vCP1452 and alum placebo [AS PER
AMENDMENT 10/12/00: AIDSVAX placebo (aluminum
hydroxide adjuvant)] at Months 0, 1, 3, and
6. Group B: ALVAC vCP1452 and alum placebo
[AS PER AMENDMENT 10/12/00: AIDSVAX placebo]
at Months 0 and 1 and ALVAC vCP1452 and
AIDSVAX B/B at Months 3 and 6. Group C: ALVAC
placebo and alum placebo. [AS PER AMENDMENT
10/12/00: ALVAC vCP1452 and AIDSVAX B/B at
Months 0, 1, and 6 and ALVAC vCP1452 and
AIDSVAX placebo at Month 3.] Group D: ALVAC
vCP1452 and alum placebo at Months 0 and 1
and ALVAC vCP1452 and MN rgp120 at Months 3
and 6. [AS PER AMENDMENT 10/12/00: ALVAC
placebo and AIDSVAX placebo at Months 0, 1,
3, and 6.] Group E: ALVAC vCP1452 and AIDSVAX
B/B at Months 0, 1, and 6; ALVAC vCP1452 and
alum placebo at Month 3. [AS PER AMENDMENT
10/12/00: Group E has been discontinued.]
Group F: ALVAC vCP1452 and AIDSVAX B/B. [AS
PER AMENDMENT 10/12/00: Group F has been
discontinued.] Group G: ALVAC vCP1452 and
alum placebo at Months 0 and 1; ALVAC vCP1452
and AIDSVAX B/E at Months 3 and 6. [AS PER
AMENDMENT 10/12/00: Group G has been
discontinued.] Following each pair of
injections, volunteers are observed in the
clinic for 30 minutes. Volunteers keep a
record of body temperature and any other
symptoms and report results to their AIDS
Vaccine Evaluation Unit. Evaluations are
performed by telephone or clinic visit on
Days 1 and 2 after each vaccination. [AS PER
AMENDMENT 10/12/00: Volunteers record all
relevant signs and symptoms occurring 48
hours after each vaccination and provide that
information at each clinic visit.] HIV
testing is conducted every 3 to 6 months and
volunteers are asked to complete social harms
questionnaires once at Day 168 and once at
the end of the study. Volunteers are followed
on the study for a minimum of 18 months after
the first immunization. Safety is evaluated
by closely monitoring for local and systemic
adverse reactions during the course of the
trial.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase III, Prospective, Randomized,
Double-Blind Trial of Valganciclovir
Pre-Emptive Therapy for Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
Viremia as Detected by Plasma CMV DNA PCR
Assay.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Opportunistic Infections
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of
pre-emptive oral valganciclovir in preventing
cytomegalovirus (CMV) end-organ disease (EOD)
development and/or death in high-risk
patients identified by screening for plasma
CMV DNA positivity. To evaluate the safety of
pre-emptive valganciclovir for prevention of
CMV EOD development in high-risk patients
identified by screening for plasma CMV DNA
positivity.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Patients receiving highly active
antiretroviral therapy (HAART), who, despite
HAART have an absolute CD4 count below
100/mm3, may be at risk of CMV EOD. This high
risk justifies testing a strategy of
screening patients for CMV viremia and
pre-emptively treating those who are viremic,
with potent anti-CMV therapy. Additionally,
patients who develop CMV retinitis or other
EOD will be followed for response to therapy.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Step 1: Patients have an
ophthalmologic exam every 24 weeks and are
screened every 8 weeks for CMV viremia.
Patients positive for CMV DNA at entry to
Step 1 or who develop a qualitatively
positive result are randomized 1:1 to Step 2.
If CMV EOD develops prior to randomization to
Step 2, patients are encouraged to enter Step
3. Step 2: Patients receive either
valganciclovir or placebo. Patients are
monitored for development of CMV EOD with an
ophthalmologic exam and an extra-ocular CMV
symptoms questionnaire every 8 weeks. Blood
samples for CMV viremia continue to be
collected every 8 weeks. Patients who develop
CMV EOD progress to Step 3. Step 3: Patients
are followed every 12 weeks with an
ophthalmologic exam, other clinical and
laboratory evaluations, and a quality-of-life
assessment. Valganciclovir therapy is offered
to patients with CMV retinitis for 3 weeks or
more if retinitis remains active. Antiviral
resistance is assessed in all patients in
Step 3. All patients in all steps are
followed to a final closing date. After the
study is closed, valganciclovir is provided
for patients in Step 3 who are receiving
valganciclovir for treatment of CMV
retinitis, under the auspices of Roche, until
it is approved for marketing.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Randomized, Double-Blind,
Adjuvant-Controlled, Multicenter Study to
Compare the Virologic and Immunologic Effect
of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy
(HAART) Plus Remune Versus HAART Plus

Antiretroviral-Naive Patients Infected with
Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1).
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Nationwide Access
TRIAL CATEGORY Vaccine
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment Naive
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine whether the addition of
Remune to a HAART regimen of Viracept
(nelfinavir mesylate) and Combivir
(zidovudine and lamivudine) delays the time
to virologic failure. Methodology: All
patients begin HAART at study entry (Day 1).
Patients with a plasma HIV-1 RNA level less
than or equal to 2,000 copies/ml at Week 8
are randomized to receive Remune or
Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant (IFA) at Week 9.
Patients who do not achieve a plasma HIV-1
RNA level of less than or equal to 2,000
copies/ml at Week 8 are not randomized and
are terminated from the study. These patients
are eligible to receive funding for up to a
3-month supply of nelfinavir (Viracept) and
Combivir. Randomized patients receive Remune
or IFA at Week 9 and approximately every 12
weeks thereafter until study completion (when
the last patient reaches Week 48). Patients
are considered virologic failures if they (1)
fail to achieve a virologic response by Week
48 or (2) after achieving a virologic
response, have a virologic relapse.
Regardless of their previous response status,
patients whose plasma HIV-1 RNA level
increases to greater than 2,000 copies/ml
while they are receiving protocol-specified
HAART are eligible to receive salvage therapy
and continue to receive Remune or IFA until
study completion. Study visits occur at
screening, Day 1, Weeks 4, 8, 9, 12, and then
every 4 weeks thereafter until the last
patient reaches Week 48. Patients who
complete this study are eligible to
participate in a rollover study.

Antiretroviral Naive Patients.
TRIAL CATEGORY Nationwide Access
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment Naive
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare the response to an
initial and subsequent antiretroviral (ARV)
regimen in patients starting therapy with
nelfinavir (NFV) versus efavirenz (EFV). To
compare the immunologic response (both
reconstitution and activation) to initial
regimens containing NFV versus EFV. An
immunologic and virologic substudy and a
metabolic substudy will assess respective
markers (lymphoid tissue, viral phenotype,
genotype, and fitness and other markers of
immune function and changes in glucose
regulation, lipid metabolism, and body fat
distribution). Methodology: Patients are
randomized to initiate therapy and receive
either nelfinavir (NFV) or efavirenz (EFV) in
the first regimen (R1). All patients also
receive zidovudine (AZT) and lamivudine
(3TC). Patients are further randomized in a
factorial fashion and by stratification based
on HIV RNA level (less than 10,000,
10,000-100,000, or greater than 100,000
copies/ml) to be administered a single
injection of a neo-antigen (KLH) at Week 12,
24, or 48. Therapy continues until switch
criteria are met either before or after Week
24. When switch criteria are met, patients
advance to the next regimen (R2). R2 patients
previously taking NFV switch to EFV; those
randomized to EFV switch to NFV; the
additional NRTIs change to stavudine (d4T)
and didanosine (ddI). Therapy is continued
for an additional 24 weeks.

PROTOCOL TITLE Study of Pathogen-Specific Immune Responses
and General Immune Competence in
Opportunistic Infections.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
TRIAL CATEGORY Opportunistic Infections
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare pathogen-specific immune
activity by lymphocyte proliferation assay
(LPA) in patients presenting with
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP),
cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, or [AS PER
AMENDMENT 4/17/01: The following text has
been deleted: histoplasmosis patients who are
not currently receiving potent antiretroviral
therapy; and has been replaced with the
following text: patients with CMV non-ocular
end organ disease,] and in patients who have
had secondary prophylaxis or maintenance
therapy withdrawn and do not develop clinical
recurrence of these opportunistic infections
(OIs) while on potent antiretroviral therapy;
to identify correlates of pathogen-specific
immunity. To compare LPA response between
patients who develop PCP to those who have
had PCP maintenance therapy withdrawn. To
compare LPA response between patients who
develop CMV [AS PER AMENDMENT 4/17/01:
retinitis or CMV non-ocular end organ
disease] to those who have had CMV
maintenance therapy withdrawn. [AS PER
AMENDMENT 4/17/01: The following sentence has
been deleted: To compare LPA response between
patients who develop histoplasmosis to those
who have had histoplasmosis maintenance
therapy withdrawn.]
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: To better understand the
relationship between immunologic responses,
immune reconstitution, and the occurrence of
OIs, observational data need to be collected
(1) in patients who present with an OI before
initiation of potent antiretroviral therapy,
(2) in patients with a history of such OIs
who have had secondary prophylaxis or
maintenance therapy withdrawn and do not
develop OI recurrence after potent
antiretroviral therapy, and (3) in controls
who were exposed to the pathogen of interest
but never were at risk for disease because
their immunity was not severely compromised.
Immunologic comparisons may identify
correlates of protection for a group of
patients who do not develop an OI after
potent antiretroviral therapy-induced immune
reconstitution. Conversely, a subpopulation
of patients may be identified that lacks
critical host factors of protection and is
more likely to develop an OI after immune
reconstitution, and therefore would benefit
from continued prophylaxis, regardless of CD4
cell count.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: This study consists of 3 groups
and 8 [AS PER AMENDMENT 4/17/01: 6]
subgroups. Clinical microbiological data are
collected and samples are obtained for
immunologic assays (pathogen-specific and
general) in all groups at entry (time of OI
presentation for Group 1 patients) and at 12
weeks (except Group 3b). Group 1b patients
also are evaluated at 24 weeks [AS PER
AMENDMENT 4/17/01: The following text has
been deleted: and at the time of diagnosis of
immune-recovery vitreitis, if it should
develop]. [AS PER AMENDMENT 4/17/01: Once
patients in Groups 1, 2, and 3a have
completed the Week 12 evaluations, they will
be off-study.] Blood samples, 1 to 7 days
apart, for peripheral blood mononuclear cells
(PBMCs), LPA, and inducible cytokine
expression of interferon gamma,
interleukin-2, interleukin-4, and

PROTOCOL TITLE Phase I/II Trial of Subcutaneous IL-2 with
Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy in
HIV-Infected Children with Immunosuppression.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine the safety and highest
tolerated dose of subcutaneous interleukin-2
(IL-2) in HIV-infected children receiving
highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
To compare the safety, tolerance, and
compliance of subcutaneous intermittent
high-dose IL-2 to subcutaneous low-dose IL-2.
To evaluate high- and low-dose IL-2 in
comparison with HAART alone on immune
reconstitution, specifically for increase in
CD4 count and duration of increase.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: One of the challenges in effective
combination therapy in HIV-infected patients
is the ability to achieve immune
reconstitution. IL-2 is hypothesized to
restore and/or preserve the immune system
when added to potent antiretroviral regimens.
This study will evaluate restoration of
immune functions of CD4 cells and will also
determine the best way to deliver IL-2 in a
safe and effective way.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Part I: Patients add a 5-day
course of subcutaneous IL-2 every 8 weeks for
up to 48 weeks (6 cycles) to their HAART
therapy. Three dose levels of IL-2 are
administered. [AS PER AMENDMENT 5/3/01: It is
strongly recommended, but not required, that]
the first and second cycles of IL-2 are given
in the hospital on an inpatient basis. The
parent or patient is trained to give the
injections and has the option of
administering subsequent injections at home.
Patients are monitored for CD4 and CD8 cell
count and viral load. Enrollment into Part 1
begins at the lowest dose level; assuming no
serious toxicities (Grade 3 or higher) occur,
patients are enrolled into higher dose
levels. The highest tolerated dose is
established. Part 2: After the highest
tolerated dose is established in Part 1,
additional patients are randomized to receive
HAART alone (Arm 1), HAART with high-dose
IL-2 (Arm 2), or HAART with low-dose IL-2
(Arm 3). High-dose IL-2 is given twice daily
at the highest dose tolerated in Part 1 for 5
days every 8 weeks for 6 cycles. Low-dose
IL-2 is given once a day every day for 48
weeks. For Arms 2 and 3 [AS PER AMENDMENT
5/3/01: (except patients in the
pharmacokinetic substudy), it is strongly
recommended, but not required, that] IL-2 is
given the first week on an inpatient basis by
hospital personnel. As in Part 1, there is
the option of administering the remaining
injections at home. Intensive toxicity
monitoring, routine lymphocyte subsets, and
quantitative HIV RNA are performed on all
patients at specified time points during the
study. The first 12 patients in Arms 2 and 3
have pharmacokinetic testing with frequent
blood samples drawn at intervals, some of
which require staying up to 12 hours at the
clinic. Diphtheria/tetanus immunizations and
bacteriophage phi X174 immunizations are
administered to all patients to determine
antibody responses.

TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine effective therapeutic
strategies or regimens that achieve long-term
suppression of HIV-1 replication to levels
below the limit of detection with the least
associated toxicity, as determined by the
future antiretroviral studies in which
patients co-enroll. To determine long-term
incidence rates, types, associated risk
factors, and clinical presentations of
HIV-related opportunistic and select
non-opportunistic complications of HIV
disease and associated treatment that occur
during potent antiretroviral therapy; also,
to compare these clinical outcomes for
patients who have long-term suppression of
plasma HIV-1 RNA levels with those of
patients with lesser degrees or shorter
durations of suppression of HIV-1 replication
(virologic success vs virologic failure).
To determine the factors that are associated
with the degree of immunologic restoration
during antiretroviral therapy.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Based on present and recently
completed studies, a compilation of outcomes
of various therapies would be beneficial when
evaluating which strategies are most
effective in long-term treatment of HIV-1.
This study will correlate therapies with the
achievement of, or maintenance of, durable
suppression of HIV-1 replication to levels
below the limit of detection.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: No treatment is provided by this
study, but patients continue with
antiretroviral therapy from other studies in
which they are co-enrolled. Blood specimens
are collected at study entry and every 16
weeks over a 4-year period to monitor
virologic and immunologic outcomes. Pelvic
exams and Pap smears may be done for women.
Portions of blood samples will be stored to
evaluate genotypic/phenotypic susceptibility
testing. Medical histories, physical exams,
and questionnaires are done periodically for
long-term clinical assessment. The
immunologic and clinical outcomes and
complications associated with the success or
failure of prolonged use of potent
antiretroviral therapies will be examined.

PROTOCOL ID NUMBERS NIAID ACTG A5043
PROTOCOL TITLE Pharmacokinetic Interaction Studies of
Amprenavir (APV), Efavirenz (EFV), and a
Second Protease Inhibitor in HIV-Seronegative
Volunteers.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: 1. To examine the pharmacokinetics
(PK) of amprenavir (APV) when taken under 6
conditions: 1) alone, 2) with efavirenz
(EFV), 3) with EFV plus nelfinavir (NFV), 4)
with EFV plus indinavir (IDV), 5) with EFV
plus ritonavir soft gel capsules (RTV sgc),
and 6) with EFV plus saquinavir soft gel
capsules (SQV sgc). 2. To compare the PK of
EFV when taken under 5 conditions: 1) with
APV, 2) with APV plus NFV, 3) with APV plus
IDV, 4) with APV plus RTV (sgc), and 5) with
APV plus SQV (sgc).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Triple-drug antiretroviral
regimens have become the recommended approach
to therapy for HIV infection. [AS PER
AMENDMENT 12/4/00: The clinical use of
multiple-drug antiretroviral regimens
containing various combinations of nucleoside
reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs),
nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitors (NNRTIs), and protease inhibitors
(PIs) has become a widespread approach to
therapy for HIV infection, especially for
patients previously treated with PIs.] Since
the introduction of PIs, a greater awareness
of the relationship between optimal
suppression of viral replication, genotypic
resistance, and viral rebound has led to the
design of more potent antiretroviral drug
combinations. Two ACTG clinical trials
addressing the issue of virologic failure
utilize antiviral regimens that include 2
NRTIs, 2 PIs (one of which is APV), and EFV
(NNRTI). Although this drug combination is
logical, there is limited PK data to guide
the dosing selection. This study enrolls
healthy volunteers to obtain PK profiles and
metabolic assessments of APV/EFV before and
after the addition of a second PI [AS PER
AMENDMENT 12/4/00: APV alone, APV combined
with EFV, and APV/EFV combined with a second
PI].
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Upon study entry, volunteers
receive APV plus EFV for 2 weeks. [AS PER
AMENDMENT 12/4/00: Volunteers receive a
single dose of APV alone on Day 0, EFV alone
on Days 1 to 10, and APV combined with EFV on
Days 11 to 13.] After 2 weeks [AS PER
AMENDMENT 12/4/00: After completion of the
second PK visit], volunteers are randomized
to 1 of 5 treatment arms to add a second PI
to the APV/EFV drug combination for 2 more
weeks [AS PER AMENDMENT 12/4/00: for at least
1 week]. The treatment arms are as follows:
Arm A (control arm): APV and EFV alone. Arm
B: APV and EFV plus IDV [AS PER AMENDMENT
12/4/00: APV and EFV plus NFV]. Arm C: APV
and EFV plus NFV [AS PER AMENDMENT 12/4/00:
APV and EFV plus IDV]. Arm D: APV and EFV
plus RTV sgc. Arm E: APV and EFV plus SQV
sgc. On Day 14, 15, or 16, volunteers return
to the clinic for PK testing following the
dual-drug regimen, and again on Day 29, 30,
or 31 following the triple-drug regimen (or
continued dual-drug regimen for Arm A). [AS
PER AMENDMENT 12/4/00: Volunteers attend
clinics for PK testing on Days 0 and 1 (first
visit), after taking the dual-drug regimen
for at least 3 days (second visit, e.g., on
Day 14 or after), and after taking the
triple-drug regimen (or, if in Arm A, after
continuing on the dual-drug regimen) for at
least 7 days (third visit).] Before each PK
testing, volunteers complete an Adherence
Questionnaire. [AS PER AMENDMENT 12/4/00: The
Adherence Questionnaire is administered at
the second and third PK visits.] Volunteers
maintain a food diary. Two to three weeks
after completing the drug regimen [AS PER
AMENDMENT 12/4/00: Within 2-3 weeks after the
third PK visit], volunteers return to the
clinic for evaluations and urine and blood
sampling.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Pilot, Proof-of-Concept, Dose-Escalating
Trial of Recombinant Human Interleukin-12
(rhIL-12) Versus Placebo Along with
Paromomycin and Azithromycin for Chronic
Cryptosporidiosis in AIDS.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Nationwide Access
TRIAL CATEGORY Opportunistic Infections
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To assess the safety of the
combination of interleukin-12 (IL-12),
paromomycin, and azithromycin in AIDS
patients with chronic cryptosporidiosis. To
compare the efficacy of IL-12 in combination
with paromomycin and azithromycin versus the
combination of paromomycin and azithromycin
without IL-12 in the treatment of AIDS
patients with chronic cryptosporidiosis.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Cryptosporidium parvum, an
intracellular protozoan parasite, is a
frequent cause of chronic diarrhea in
HIV-infected patients, causing significant
morbidity and mortality. Highly effective
antiparasitic treatment for this infection is
not currently available. Paromomycin and
azithromycin have some efficacy and have been
used in combination in a small number of
patients. Immune reconstitution with highly
active antiretroviral therapy appears to be
the most effective therapy, but this is not
possible for all patients. Interferon gamma
expression is strongly associated with
control of cryptosporidiosis, and IL-12 is
the cytokine primarily responsible for
stimulation of interferon gamma expression in
vivo. It is hoped that treatment with
recombinant human IL-12 can result in
stimulation of an intestinal cytokine
response in AIDS patients with
cryptosporidiosis and that response combined
with chemotherapy can lead to the elimination
of detectable numbers of Cryptosporidium
oocysts from the stools.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: All patients receive
azithromycin and paromomycin, and patients
are randomized to add either IL-12 or
placebo. IL-12 (or placebo) injections are
given twice a week. Patients take their study
medications for 4 weeks. During this time,
they will be asked to record bowel movements
and any symptoms they experience. Patients
return to the clinic at least twice a week to
receive IL-12 (or placebo) injections. At
Weeks 2 and 4, patients are seen by one of
the principal investigators. Blood samples
are obtained for viral load measurements and
CD4 count, as well as routine urinalysis.
Patients undergo upper endoscopy with jejunal
biopsy and colonoscopy with ileal biopsy
between Weeks 2 and 4 of therapy for assays
of intestinal cytokine expression. A final
clinic visit occurs 12 weeks post-therapy for
a physical exam and blood tests.

PROTOCOL TITLE Viral and Immune Dynamics in HIV-Infected
Patients with Tuberculosis.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Opportunistic Infections
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine whether HIV RNA
clearance is influenced by tuberculosis (TB)
in patients initiating highly active
antiretroviral therapy (HAART). To determine
whether the recovery of T lymphocyte
populations and functions are influenced by
TB in subjects initiating HAART.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Previous studies have focused on
characterizing viral and immune dynamics
after initiation of HAART in patients without
opportunistic infection. The development of
TB in HIV-infected individuals is associated
with an elevation in HIV RNA levels, a
decrease in CD4 cell counts, and an increase
in activated (CD38) lymphocytes and
proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1, TNF-alpha,
and IL-6). Response to HAART may differ in
individuals with an active opportunistic
infection such as TB.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: HIV-infected patients with
active TB follow an anti-TB regimen including
rifabutin and are observed for a maximum of
24 weeks before they initiate HAART. Plasma
samples for 24-hour post-rifabutin dosing are
collected at entry and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12,
then again at Weeks 2, 3, 4, 12, and 24 after
HAART initiation. Analyses of these samples
are used to explore the relationship between
cytokines and rifabutin metabolism and the
effect of nelfinavir on rifabutin
pharmacokinetics. The HAART regimen is
nelfinavir plus lamivudine (3TC) plus either
zidovudine (ZDV) or stavudine (d4T). After
initiation of HAART, all patients undergo
intensive monitoring of viral and immune
dynamics for 2 months. The patients continue
to be followed for 1 year from the time of
starting HAART. Neither the HAART drug
regimen nor anti-TB medications will be
provided by the study and must be obtained by
prescription. If patients are intolerant of
the HAART regimen or exhibit virologic
rebound, primary providers can alter or
modify this regimen. As part of substudy
A5065s, patients who experience signs or
symptoms of paradoxical reactions (i.e., new
persistent fevers that develop after
initiating HAART and which last for more than
1 week without an identifiable source; marked
worsening or emergence of intrathoracic
lymphadenopathy, pulmonary infiltrates;
worsening or emergence of cervical adenopathy
on serial physical examinations; or worsening
of other tuberculous lesions) have additional
clinical evaluations (including a chest
x-ray, a target clinical assessment,
concomitant medications, and signs and
symptoms) weekly for 4 weeks, then every
month thereafter until the symptoms resolve.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Randomized, Open-Label, Phase III,
International Study of Subcutaneous
Recombinant IL-2 (Proleukin) in Patients with
HIV-1 Infection and CD4+ Cell Counts Greater
than or Equal to 300/mm3: Evaluation of
Subcutaneous Proleukin in a Randomized
International Trial (ESPRIT).
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare the effects of
subcutaneous recombinant interleukin-2 (SC
rIL-2) and no SC rIL-2 on disease progression
[AS PER AMENDMENT 12/15/00: (new and
recurrent events)] and death over a 5-year
follow-up period in patients with HIV-1
infection and absolute CD4 cell counts of at
least 300 cells/mm3 who are taking
combination antiretroviral therapy.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Much progress has been made in
implementing potent antiretroviral therapy
that is able to maximally suppress viral
replication. However, these drug combinations
do not result in viral eradication and, for
many patients, virologic and immunologic
control cannot be maintained. Even among
patients with apparent virologic control, a
ceiling effect seems to exist with failure
of CD4 cell counts to rise on average more
than 100 to 150 cells/mm3, at least during
the first 2 years of therapy. The incomplete
recovery of immune function after initiation
of therapy remains an obstacle in the
management of HIV. Preservation of immune
function by direct expansion of CD4
lymphocytes with IL-2 could represent a
significant additional treatment strategy. It
also has been speculated recently that IL-2
in combination with potent antiretroviral
therapy may be a useful approach for purging
HIV from the latently infected CD4 cells. It
is hoped that intervention with rIL-2 therapy
in combination with antiretroviral therapy at
an early stage of HIV infection can prevent
CD4 T-cell depletion and result in fewer
AIDS-defining illnesses than with
antiretroviral therapy alone.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are randomized to
receive SC rIL-2 therapy or no SC rIL-2
therapy. All patients must receive
combination antiretroviral treatment, with
the choice of therapy at the discretion of
the treating clinician. However,
antiretroviral medications are not provided
by this study. Recombinant IL-2 is given SC
for 5 consecutive days every 8 weeks for at
least 3 cycles unless toxicities or other
contraindications develop. After the first
three cycles, additional cycles are given at
the discretion of each patient's physician,
with a general goal of maintaining the
patient's CD4 cell count at twice the
baseline level or at 1,000 cells/mm3 or above
for as long as possible. Patients in the no
SC rIL-2 group receive no injections.
Patients in both treatment groups are seen
every 4 months for follow-up data collection
to monitor viral load and CD4 cell counts.
All patients are followed for an average of 5
years. During the trial, patients in the no
SC rIL-2 group are not given rIL-2 at any
point. However, at the end of the study, if
rIL-2 is found to be effective in reducing
the rate of disease progression [AS PER
AMENDMENT 12/15/00: (new and recurrent
events)], including death, all patients are
offered rIL-2.

OTHER TREATMENT INFO. MODIFICATION: Patients should be monitored
closely for side effects of SC rIL-2.
Patients who experience dose-limiting side
effects may have their SC rIL-2 temporarily
interrupted or their dose reduced. All dose
reductions must be in 1.5 or 3.0 MIU/dose
decrements. The minimum dose of SC rIL-2 that
can be delivered under this protocol is 1.5
MIU bid. The maximum duration of each cycle
of dosing will be 5 consecutive days and will
not be extended for doses missed due to

PROTOCOL ID NUMBERS CC 00 I-0020
PROTOCOL TITLE Immunologic and Virologic Studies of
Intermittent versus Continuous Highly Active
Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) in the
Treatment of HIV Disease.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To study the HIV-specific immune
responses, CD4 cell counts, plasma HIV RNA,
resistance to therapy, and toxicity and side
effects in HIV-infected individuals receiving
intermittent versus continuous antiretroviral
therapy.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Although highly active
antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has been
successful in suppressing plasma HIV levels
in infected patients, virus replication
persists and viral levels have been shown to
rebound after withdrawing HAART. Long-term
use of HAART also carries risk of significant
toxicity and side effects. This study
examines the virologic and immunologic
effects of intermittent versus continuous
HAART in HIV-infected individuals with goals
of suppressing virus replication and
minimizing the toxicity and side effects of
HAART.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are randomized to
receive either continuous HAART or
intermittent HAART for 22 months.
Intermittent HAART consists of intervals of 1
month off therapy followed by 2 months on
therapy. The last on-therapy period lasts for
4 months. CD4 cell counts, viral loads,
incidence of toxicity and side effects,
HIV-specific immune responses, viral
resistance to therapy, and the viral
characteristics during rebound plasma viremia
are analyzed. Study visits are conducted once
a month for the first year and then once
every 3 months for patients in the continuous
HAART arm. Patients in the intermittent HAART
arm may have more frequent study visits
during the off-therapy periods. If viral load
increases significantly or CD4 cell count
decreases significantly, patients may have
their medications changed or, if they are
receiving intermittent therapy, may be
switched to continuous therapy.

PROTOCOL TITLE Evaluation of the Epidemiology, Clinical
Manifestations, Etiologies, and Immunology of
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Negative
CD4 T Lymphocyte Deficient Patients.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To better understand the
epidemiology, clinical manifestations,
causes, and immunologic abnormalities
associated with idiopathic CD4
T-lymphocytopenia. To provide blood cell
specimens for a repository for investigations
studying this syndrome.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Cases of HIV seronegative persons
with low numbers of CD4+ T cells have been
reported in the medical literature to the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and at the
VIII International Conference on AIDS. Some
of these patients have had AIDS-defining
conditions like pneumocystis pneumonia. Very
little is currently known about the
epidemiology, clinical manifestations,
immunology, etiology, prognosis, and
appropriate management of these patients.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are assessed initially
and then once yearly in order to better
understand the epidemiology, clinical
manifestations, causes, and immunologic
abnormalities associated with idiopathic CD4
T-lymphocytopenia. Treatment is not provided
but diagnostic studies may be performed if
needed to investigate a possible diagnosis.
All patients have a history and physical
examination and blood drawn for standard
laboratory tests, an immunologic evaluation,
and an assessment for retroviruses. Patients
are also asked to complete a questionnaire.
This evaluation generally provides no benefit
to the patient; however, patients who choose
to be seen are contributing to a better
understanding of this entity.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase I/II, Randomized, Open-Label Study of
the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Indinavir
+ Ritonavir Therapy in HIV-Infected Subjects
Failing Amprenavir, Nelfinavir, Saquinavir,
or Nelfinavir/Saquinavir Combination Therapy.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: Two regimens containing different
dosages of indinavir (IDV) and ritonavir
(RTV) are compared in patients failing
amprenavir (APV), nelfinavir (NFV),
saquinavir (SQV), or NFV/SQV combination. The
primary objectives are to assess the clinical
tolerability and laboratory toxicity and to
compare the pharmacokinetic characteristics
of the two IDV plus RTV regimens.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: IDV, a protease inhibitor, has
shown excellent clinical and virologic
responses when combined with 2 nucleoside
analogues. Although effective, the
pharmacokinetics of IDV make it difficult to
use in many patients. The drug has a short
half-life and requires administration in high
doses every 8 hours with significant dietary
restrictions. Research has shown that IDV
kinetics can be improved significantly by the
addition of RTV, allowing for administration
of IDV at lower doses every 12 hours. The
half-life of IDV is prolonged 3- to 5-fold
when administered with RTV. Based on these
results, it is reasonable to study this
combination as a twice-daily dosing regimen.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are randomized to
receive 1 of 2 doses of IDV/RTV for 24 weeks
(Arms A and B). All patients also receive 2
nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
(NRTIs). The NRTIs are not provided by the
study. Clinical assessments take place at
Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 which
includes a virology assessment. [AS PER
AMENDMENT 4/21/00: Patients who experience a
confirmed virologic failure (defined in
protocol) and elect to remain on study
treatment, are followed through Week 24.
Patients who experience a confirmed virologic
failure and elect to discontinue study
treatment will have a final evaluation at the
time of treatment discontinuation.] Patients
are hospitalized for 12 hours at the Week 2
study visit for an intensive pharmacokinetic
analysis.

PROTOCOL TITLE Procedure for Initiation, Administration, and
Discontinuation of Interleukin-2 (IL-2)
Therapy in Conjunction with Highly Active
Antiretroviral Therapy.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To augment and prolong HIV-specific
cytotoxic lymphocyte (CTL) response. To
reduce the extent of damage and accelerate
immune system recovery. To delay and reduce
recurrent viremia compared to historical
controls.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: At the time of initial HIV
infection, CD4 cells are susceptible to
infection, and the virus infects many T cells
during the first 4 to 6 weeks. Many of these
infected cells subsequently maintain the
virus in a latent state. Immune
reconstitution with daily low-dose IL-2
therapy is intended to correct or improve the
deficiency in CD4 cells, while maintaining a
high frequency of CD8+ HIV-specific CTL and
increasing natural killer (NK) cells. After a
year of HAART plus IL-2, it may be possible
to discontinue HAART while maintaining IL-2
stimulatory therapy, and the immune
reactivity repaired and stimulated by IL-2
should be able to contain the virus and
maintain latency.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are randomized to add
IL-2 to their current HAART regimen or simply
to remain on their current HAART regimen.
IL-2 therapy is initiated at Month 3 of
HAART. IL-2 is injected subcutaneously daily
for 9 months, in addition to HAART. After
completion of this 1-year treatment period,
patients are evaluated for discontinuation of
HAART. Patients with a viral load below 50
copies/ml throughout HAART plus IL-2, a CD4
count of at least 500 cells/mm3, and no onset
of opportunistic infections may have HAART
discontinued and IL-2 continued as
monotherapy for an additional 6 months. After
completing 6 months of IL-2 monotherapy,
eligible patients may have IL-2 therapy
discontinued.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Bridging Dose-Escalation Study of the
Safety, Pharmacokinetic Properties, and
Immunologic Effect of Subcutaneous L2-7001
(Recombinant Human Interleukin-2) in Patients
Infected with HIV with CD4+ T-Cell Counts of
300 to 500 Cells/mm3 and Viral Burden Under
10,000 Copies/ml on Active Antiretroviral
Therapy (ART).
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: The primary objective of the first
phase of the trial is to evaluate the safety
and tolerability of a modified form of
recombinant human interleukin-2, L2-7001, and
to estimate a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in
patients infected with HIV. The primary
objective of the second phase of the trial is
to assess the immunologic efficacy of three
different doses of intermittent subcutaneous
(SC) L2-7001 in combination with ART on CD4+
T cell count as compared with ART alone.
Methodology: This study takes place in two
phases. Phase A consists of an open-label
dose-escalation of L2-7001 through four dose
levels. Ascending dose cohorts of five
patients are studied. The safety and
tolerability of L2-7001 is assessed in
preparation for the second phase of the study
and to estimate an MTD. Phase B involves
randomization of 190 patients to (a) one of
three dose levels of L2-7001 plus ART, (b)
one of two dosing levels of Proleukin plus
ART, or (c) ART alone. L2-7001 and Proleukin
are given SC every 12 hours for the first 5
days of an 8-week cycle for three cycles.
Serum IL-2 levels, soluble IL-2 receptor
levels, and levels of pro-inflammatory
cytokines are evaluated in 8 patients
randomized to each treatment cohort of Phase
B. All patients completing this phase of the
protocol are eligible to be screened for
enrollment in a maintenance use protocol
which will allow for access to L2-7001.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: This study takes place in two
phases. Phase A consists of an open-label
dose-escalation of L2-7001 through four dose
levels. Ascending dose cohorts of five
patients are studied. The safety and
tolerability of L2-7001 is assessed in
preparation for the second phase of the study
and to estimate an MTD. Phase B involves
randomization of 190 patients to (a) one of
three dose levels of L2-7001 plus ART, (b)
one of two dosing levels of Proleukin plus
ART, or (c) ART alone. L2-7001 and Proleukin
are given SC every 12 hours for the first 5
days of an 8-week cycle for three cycles.
Serum IL-2 levels, soluble IL-2 receptor
levels, and levels of pro-inflammatory
cytokines are evaluated in 8 patients
randomized to each treatment cohort of Phase
B. All patients completing this phase of the
protocol are eligible to be screened for
enrollment in a maintenance use protocol
which will allow for access to L2-7001.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase II, Randomized, Open-Label Study of
Maximally Assisted Therapy (MAT) Compared to
Self-Administered Therapy (SAT) for the
Treatment of HIV Infection in Antiretroviral
Naive Subjects with CD4 Greater Than or Equal
to 200 Cells/mm3.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare the rate and durability
of virologic suppression in patients
receiving maximally assisted therapy (MAT)
versus self-administered therapy (SAT) at 24
weeks, and then at 48 weeks and 72 weeks of
follow-up.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Novel approaches are needed to
improve adherence to combination
antiretroviral therapy. Nonadherence can lead
to reduced drug levels and inadequate viral
suppression, which accelerates drug
resistance. Thus nonadherence in the first
few months of primary HIV infection can limit
therapeutic options for an individual years
later. Barriers to optimal treatment
adherence in patients with early HIV
infection include complex treatment regimens
which disrupt daily routines, drug
intolerance, and concomitant illness
including depression. Directly observed
therapy has been successful in improving
overall effectiveness of antituberculosis
therapy and may be a useful strategy in
HIV-infected patients.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: All patients receive combination
antiretroviral therapy with didanosine (ddI),
stavudine (d4T), efavirenz (EFV), and
nelfinavir (NFV). Patients are randomized to
self-administered (SAT) versus observed (MAT)
therapy for 24 weeks. Patients randomized to
MAT receive one directly observed dose (ddI,
d4T, EFV, and NFV) of their antiretroviral
regimen by a field worker or nurse at the
clinic 5 days per week. As a reminder for the
second NFV and d4T dose, MAT patients are
provided with an alarm watch programmed to
sound at dosing times. The alarm watch also
serves as a reminder for weekend doses that
will not be directly observed. Patients
randomized to SAT receive standard care. All
patients are monitored with monthly plasma
HIV RNA levels and CD4 and CD8 cell counts.
At Week 24, all patients are crossed over to
SAT for an additional 48 weeks of follow-up.

PROTOCOL TITLE An Observational Study of Subjects with
Primary HIV Infection: A Study of the UCSD
Acute/Early HIV Infection (AEHIV) Clinical
Studies Unit.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To characterize the dynamics of
viral populations and host immune response in
blood, lymph nodes, cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF), and vaginal secretions or semen in
patients with acute and early HIV-1
infection.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Primary HIV-1 infection is
frequently identified as a nonspecific viral
syndrome occurring within 20 days to 8 weeks
following a documented HIV exposure. However,
symptoms vary from person to person, and some
people undergo asymptomatic seroconversion.
Because of the difficulty identifying
patients with either acute HIV infection
(within 30 days of initial infection) or
early infection (within 12 months of initial
infection), no systematic review of viral
dynamics or immunodynamics in this patient
population has been undertaken. A better
understanding of the virologic and
immunologic parameters during acute and early
HIV infection should provide information
relevant to the optimal design of future
clinical therapeutic trials.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: The only patient intervention is
obtaining blood, lymph node tissue, CSF, and
semen or vaginal secretion specimens at
designated intervals according to the
schedule of evaluations. Patients are
followed for 5 years. Patients may elect to
start or discontinue antiretroviral therapy
at any time; however, no antiretroviral
therapy is administered as part of this
study. Descriptive analysis includes
tolerance and toxicity, magnitude and
durability of RNA suppression, magnitude and
durability of immunologic responses (CD4 and
CD8 cells), and decay and emergence of
resistant virus in tissue reservoirs (CSF,
genital secretions, and lymph nodes).

PROTOCOL TITLE Outcomes of Antiretroviral Therapy During
Primary HIV Infection.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of potent
antiretroviral therapy, initiated before or
after HIV seroconversion, on the development
and decay rate of the reservoir of latently
infected cells and on the development and
maintenance of the HIV-specific cellular
immune response. To compare the viral burden
in transmitting source partners of newly
HIV-infected patients and non-transmitting
HIV-infected partners of persons with
suspected primary HIV infection.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Although many researchers have
recommended initiation of aggressive
antiretroviral therapy as soon as possible
after HIV infection occurs, the tolerability
and efficacy of this approach has not been
systemically evaluated. Many features of
primary HIV pathogenesis are incompletely
understood. A more complete understanding of
immune dynamics and viral pathogenesis during
primary HIV infection is critical to
determine optimal treatment intervention
strategies. This study will evaluate the
outcomes of potent antiretroviral therapy
initiated at different stages of primary HIV
infection.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Thirty-six of the study patients
are coenrolled to ACTG 371 or another
treatment protocol. All study drug treatment
and toxicity management is performed
according to guidelines in these treatment
protocols. An untreated cohort of 12 patients
is also followed on this study. Patients are
stratified at enrollment according to their
stage of acute or early HIV infection.
Patients are evaluated for virologic,
immunologic, and clinical parameters for 96
weeks. In addition, novel studies of source
partner identification are proposed. An
effort is made to determine the most likely
source partner(s) for each study patient on
the basis of patient recall of possible
exposures. A separate study protocol will
evaluate the source partner.

PROTOCOL TITLE The Determinants of the Biology of HIV
Transmission to Determine the Immunologic and
Virologic Characteristics of Those Who May
Have Transmitted HIV to Another Individual.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To assess the viral characteristics
(including resistance patterns and viral
heterogeneity) in blood, genital fluid (semen
or cervical-vaginal washings), and saliva
among the partners of those with suspected
primary HIV infection. To determine the level
of CD8 non-cellular activity and CD8 cellular
antiviral factor (CAF) in blood and genital
fluid among the partners of those with
suspected primary HIV infection.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Persons with early HIV infection
may represent high transmission risk to their
partners. Early infection, characterized by
rapid virologic replication, insufficient
immunologic control of infection, and more
rapid course of disease progression, may be
associated with increased infectiousness. The
viral determinants of transmission may in
part be explained by viral burden in blood,
genital fluids, and oral cavity fluids. All
three fluids may be the source for
transmitted virus.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Persons with suspected HIV
infection are asked to identify their
possible source partners. The importance of
partner referral is emphasized and assisted
recruitment or active tracing is offered if
necessary. Source partners will not be
approached uninvited. If a partner states
that he/she does not want to be contacted,
then he/she will not be contacted further for
the purpose of this study or for any other
study. All patients are offered HIV
counseling and plasma testing for HIV-1 RNA
and CD4+ cells. Blood specimens are collected
for plasma determination, and cellular and
plasma fractions are collected for CAF and
neutralization antibodies. Neutralization
assays are used to detect humoral immune
response in patients with primary HIV
infection. Genital fluids and saliva are
analyzed for viral RNA. Patients are seen in
the clinic on Day 1 for blood draw and return
2 weeks later for blood test results. A
follow-up period of at least 4 weeks is
planned. Compensation is provided to all

Progression) study (CPCRA 057).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Adherence to AR therapy has become
increasingly important in the management of
HIV infection. Adherence to AR regimens is
thought to be a critical factor in
maintaining therapeutic drug levels, thus
helping ensure viral suppression and
minimizing the risk of drug resistance.
However, AR regimens are often complex with
demanding dosing schedules. Patients often
miss doses because they simply forget; other
factors such as substance abuse, depression,
and low literacy levels also contribute to
nonadherence. Adherence is influenced not
only by individual behavior but also by the
services, the quality of the patient-provider
relationship, and the amount of social
support offered the patient. There is no
currently agreed upon, widely used, and
generalizable intervention for improving
adherence over the long course of HIV
therapy. This study provides a long-term
comparative evaluation of two interventions.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Clinical sites, rather than
individual patients, are randomized to one of
four groups: a medication manager, an
electronic medication reminder system, a
medication manager plus an electronic
medication reminder system, or usual care.
Special training sessions are held for the
staff of participating units assigned to
medication manager and/or electronic
medication reminder system interventions. The
medication manager is a research staff member
who works individually with study patients,
addressing the knowledge, motivation, and
skills necessary for adherence. The
electronic medication reminder system is ALR
(A Little Reminder). This is a small,
portable alarm that is programmed to sound
and flash at the times of the patient's
scheduled AR medication doses. Patients
enrolling into either the FIRST or PIP study
at clinical sites authorized to carry out
this study are offered the option of
participating in the adherence intervention
to which the clinical site has been randomly
assigned. Data collected through the FIRST
and the PIP protocols are used to address the
Adherence study objectives. Patients on the
FIRST protocol are assessed for time to first
virologic failure (confirmed rise in viral
load above 2,000 copies/ml). Also, patients
on the FIRST and PIP studies are assessed for
changes in viral load, resistance, CD4 cell
counts, adherence, and other factors.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase II, Restrictively Randomized,
Open-Label, Pilot Study of Treatment
Intensification of Early Virologic Failure.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine whether adding 1 or 2
drugs to the current initial antiretroviral
regimen is an effective strategy for treating
the first viral rebound in patients who are
able to complete 24 weeks of therapy with an
intensified regimen. [AS PER AMENDMENT
11/9/00: To investigate whether adding 1 or 2
drugs to the current, initial (background)
antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a potential
effective strategy capable of suppressing and
maintaining plasma HIV-1 RNA below 500
copies/ml up to Week 24 in patients
experiencing first viral rebound.] [AS PER
AMENDMENT 04/03/01: To investigate whether
adding 1 or 2 drugs to the current, potent,
background antiretroviral therapy (ART)
regimen is a potential effective strategy
capable of suppressing and maintaining plasma
HIV-1 RNA below 500 copies/ml up to Week 24
in patients experiencing virologic rebound.]
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Successful therapy following viral
rebound has been problematic. Intensification
of the existing regimen by adding 1 or 2
drugs generally has been avoided. However,
successfully adding new drugs to an existing
regimen would be advantageous since it would
expose the patient to fewer antiretroviral
agents in the overall treatment course.
Recent evidence suggests that a significant
proportion of patients who experience viral
rebound while receiving a protease inhibitor
(PI) actually have viral rebound with a
PI-sensitive virus. Other studies have shown
that treatment decisions based on resistance
assays result in better virologic outcomes.
This trial examines further the effect of
resistance assay-directed intensification of
a PI-containing antiretroviral regimen on
viral load. [AS PER AMENDMENT 04/03/01: The
antiretroviral regimen need not contain a
protease inhibitor.]
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are stratified by
baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA levels (5,000
copies/ml or less versus greater than 5,000
copies/ml). Patients undergo phenotypic drug
resistance testing prior to study entry.
Based on the phenotypic results, patients are
[AS PER AMENDMENT 11/9/00: selectively]
randomized equally to 1 of 3 [AS PER
AMENDMENT 11/9/00: 1 of 2] intensification
strategies while remaining on their current,
initial [AS PER AMENDMENT 11/9/00:
(background)] antiretroviral therapy (ART).
[AS PER AMENDMENT 04/03/01: ART need not be
initial.] A patient is excluded from
randomization to an arm if that arm contains
a drug to which the patient has phenotypic
resistance. Arm A adds abacavir (ABC). Arm B
adds amprenavir (APV) [AS PER AMENDMENT
11/9/00: and ritonavir (RTV)]. Arm C adds
didanosine (ddI) plus hydroxyurea (HU). [AS
PER AMENDMENT 11/9/00: Arm C has been
discontinued.] A patient's HIV must be
sensitive to at least 3 drugs. [AS PER
AMENDMENT 11/9/00: Each patient must be
taking at least 3 drugs to which his/her HIV
isolate is sensitive, including ABC or APV
and at least 2 other drugs that are part of
the current, initial (background) ART. If
phenotypic resistance testing at screening
indicates resistance to a nucleoside reverse
transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) drug in the
patient's current, initial (background) ART,
then the local investigator may choose to
discontinue that drug. However, the patient
and local investigator may choose to continue
the drug but it will not be considered an
active drug per this protocol.] [AS PER
AMENDMENT 04/03/01: ART need not be initial.]
Patients have regular clinic visits for
physical exams and blood tests, including CD4
and CD8 cell counts, plasma HIV-1 RNA assays,
and tests for pharmacokinetic variability. In
the event of viral rebound of 500 copies/ml
or more at Week 12 or later,
phenotypic/genotypic drug resistance is
assayed. In addition, phenotypic drug
resistance is assayed at the primary endpoint
(Week 24) and at the end of treatment (Week
48) on all patients.

PROTOCOL TITLE Evaluation of Virologic, Immunologic, and
Clinical Parameters of Participants in HIVNET
014 Who Become Infected with HIV-1.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term (5 years
or more) immunologic, virologic, and clinical
parameters of candidate HIV-vaccine or
placebo recipients who become HIV-1 infected
after enrollment in HIVNET 014 (A Phase II
Safety and Immunogenicity Trial of Live
Recombinant Canarypox ALVAC-HIV vCP205 With
or Without HIV-1 SF-2 rgp120), also known as
AVEG 202.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: There are many possible outcomes
of HIV-1 infection among persons who receive
experimental HIV-1 vaccines. In the best-case
scenario, these vaccines may prevent
infection (sterilizing immunity). However,
current viral vaccines are thought to limit,
but not prevent, virus replication after
infection. In the latter case, it is
important to document the effect of the
immune response on the disease course as
reflected by viral load, the evolution of the
viral quasi species, and clinical symptoms
over time. Understanding the evolution of the
immune response in vaccinees after subsequent
exposure and HIV infection will potentially
result in valuable information for the
subsequent design of preventive and
therapeutic vaccines. This will be studied
here using HIVNET 014 participants at higher
risk for HIV-1 infection.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Participants discontinue HIVNET
014 vaccinations upon confirmation of HIV-1
infection and are enrolled in this study.
Participants undergo clinical and laboratory
examinations every 3 months for the first
year of follow-up and every 6 months for at
least 4 years thereafter. Additionally,
HIV-infected partners of HIVNET 014A
participants undergo clinical and laboratory
examination at enrollment, and may be asked
to donate additional specimens at a later
time. Study endpoints include various
virologic, immunologic, and clinical
parameters, such as viral load, cellular
immune response, and virus phenotype and
genotype.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Study of the Effects of Combination
Antiretroviral Therapy in Acute HIV-1
Infection with an Emphasis on Immunological
Responses.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine the following in
patients with acute HIV-1 infection treated
with [AS PER AMENDMENT 9/15/00: 1 of 2]
potent antiretroviral therapy [AS PER
AMENDMENT 9/15/00: therapies] (ART): 1. The
safety and tolerability of [AS PER AMENDMENT
9/15/00: these] potent combination ART [AS
PER AMENDMENT 9/15/00: ARTs]. 2. The
immunological responses to HIV-1 as measured
by: CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets;
quantitative assessments of envelope-, gag-,
nef-, and pol-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte
(CTL) activity; V beta perturbation; and
neutralizing antibodies to prototype and
autologous strains. 3. The proportion of
patients who have plasma HIV-1 RNA below 50
copies/ml by Roche Ultrasensitive Assay. 4.
The quantity of proviral DNA in PBMCs. 5.
Response rates to hepatitis B surface
antigen, in patients who have not had
hepatitis B infection, compared with
responses in HIV+ and HIV- controls. 6.
Response rates and antibody titer after
tetanus vaccination compared with responses
in HIV+ and HIV- controls.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Current treatment guidelines
recommend combination ART for acute primary
HIV-1 infection. However, it is not known
whether ART given during acute infection
delays progression to AIDS or improves
survival rates. Preliminary studies suggest
ART given early in HIV infection not only
reduces viral load but also restricts CD4+
cell loss, delays the development of
opportunistic infections, and preserves
T-helper cells and naive T cells. The
immunologic basis of these protective effects
has not been characterized thoroughly. This
protocol assesses ART's effects on immune
responses in early HIV infection through a
variety of cellular, humoral, and virologic
assays, including 2 substudies. The
substudies focus on antibody responses to
neoantigen immunization (hepatitis B and
tetanus). Primary endpoint analysis occurs at
Week 72, but patients may be followed for
long-term outcomes.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: In the main study, patients with
HIV-1 infection of less than 120 days are
given the option of taking a potent ART
combination of abacavir (ABC), efavirenz
(EFV), indinavir (IDV), and lamivudine (3TC)
for 96 weeks. [AS PER AMENDMENT 9/15/00:
Patients choose either Regimen 1: ABC, 3TC,
IDV, and ritonavir (RTV) or Regimen 2: ABC,
3TC, and EFV.] Patients who decline treatment
provide a concurrent, non-randomized
comparison group. These patients may choose
to be considered for study treatment at any
time or to start antiretrovirals provided
through another source. [AS PER AMENDMENT
9/15/00: If a patient who initially does not
start therapy subsequently starts
antiretroviral therapy provided by the study
(within the 120-day limit), the visit
schedule is re-set.] During the treatment
period, all patients undergo regular physical
exams and blood tests to characterize T
cells, viral resistance, antibody responses,
and other markers. Patients presenting within
30 days of HIV-1 infection undergo
leukapheresis (where available) prior to
starting ART. At Month 12, these patients and
all untreated patients undergo leukapheresis
to assess the proportion of latently infected
CD4+ T cells. In addition, all patients in
the main study and patients in 2 comparison
groups (Cohorts A and B) participate in 1 of
2 substudies of antibody responses to
neoantigen. Volunteers are recruited to 2
cohorts to serve as controls. Cohort A
volunteers have established HIV-1 infection.
Cohort B volunteers are HIV-1 seronegative
but at high risk for HIV. In the first
substudy, hepatitis B-seronegative patients
from the main study and from Cohorts A and B
receive hepatitis B vaccine at Weeks 40, 44,
and 64 and undergo humoral and cellular
response assessments at Week 68. In the
second substudy, patients from the main study
and from Cohorts A and B who did not qualify
for the hepatitis B vaccination undergo
intramuscular vaccination with tetanus toxoid
at Week 64 and immune responses are assessed
at Week 68. Volunteers in Cohorts A and B
receive no anti-HIV medication as part of
these substudies.

PROTOCOL TITLE Effect of Highly Active Antiretroviral
Therapy (HAART) on Viral Burden and Immune
Function in the Lungs of HIV-Infected
Subjects.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: Blood tests and bronchoalveolar
lavage (BAL) are used to evaluate whether:
(1) HIV viral load in BAL cells and fluid
correlates with viremia; (2) HAART reduces
HIV viral load in BAL cells and fluid; and
(3) HAART reduces the intensity of
lymphocytic alveolitis in HIV-infected
patients. No drugs are provided through this
study.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Lymphocytic alveolitis in
HIV-infected patients probably represents a
local immune response to HIV-infected cells
in the lung. The intensity of lymphocytic
alveolitis may therefore reflect the viral
load in the lung. If so, treatment that
reduces viral load in the lung (e.g., HAART)
should also decrease the number of cytotoxic
T lymphocytes (CTLs) in the alveolar space
and should return pulmonary immune responses
toward normal.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are stratified by CD4
count: less than 200 cells/mm3 or 200 - 500
cells/mm3. BAL is performed and blood samples
are collected prior to initiation of HAART
and after 1 and 6 months of HAART. If a
patient has detectable HIV in the lung after
6 months of HAART, the patient is asked to
submit to an optional fourth BAL after 12
months of HAART. BAL fluid and cells are
analyzed for HIV viral load, percent
lymphocytes, and lymphocyte subsets.
Responses in the lung are compared to
simultaneous changes in these variables found
in the peripheral blood. Each patient serves
as his/her own control.

PROTOCOL TITLE The Effects of Highly Active Antiretroviral
Therapy (HAART) on the Recovery of Immune
Function in HIV-Infected Children.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To assess the ability of newly
derived CD4 T cells to spontaneously develop
lymphoproliferative responses to a recall
antigen, tetanus toxoid, or to develop
responses after booster vaccinations with
tetanus vaccine. To assess the ability to
develop protective antibody responses to a T
cell-dependent antigen using a primary series
of hepatitis A vaccinations. To measure the
durability of any response beyond the last
vaccination.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: HIV-infected children initiating
HAART have shown significant inhibition of
HIV growth and significant increases in CD4 T
cell counts. It is not known to what extent
an increase in CD4 count in this population
of children translates to a complete
functional immune recovery. HIV-infected
children have typically demonstrated poor
serological responses to routine childhood
immunizations. This study will examine the
phenotype of T cells regenerated post-HAART
initiation and will assess function by
evaluating T cell responses to neoantigens
and recall antigens. Cell-mediated immune
responses to an environmental antigen
(Candida), a recall antigen (tetanus), and a
primary immunogen (hepatitis A) will be
tested.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: HAART is initiated [AS PER
AMENDMENT 2/28/01: or altered] within 2 weeks
prior to entry, although HAART optimally
should be started [AS PER AMENDMENT 2/28/01:
or changed] at entry. Patients are randomized
into 1 of 2 groups and a baseline viral load
is taken either at study entry or at time of
initiating or changing HAART therapy. One
month after entry a second viral load is
taken. Only patients with virologic
suppression (defined as a greater-than-1-log
decrease in plasma HIV RNA copy number) [AS
PER AMENDMENT 2/28/01: (defined as an 0.75 or
greater log decrease in plasma HIV RNA copy
number)] continue on the study. Patients in
Group 1 receive tetanus toxoid (as DTaP,
DT-pediatric, or Td) immunizations at Weeks
8, 16, and 24, and hepatitis A vaccinations
at Weeks 32, 40, and 48. Patients in Group 2
receive hepatitis A vaccinations at Weeks 8,
16, and 24, and tetanus toxoid immunizations
at Weeks 32, 40, and 48. Serologic responses
are assessed 1 month after the first and
third vaccinations. Blood for
lymphoproliferative studies is drawn at
baseline, [AS PER AMENDMENT 2/28/01: 4
weeks,] and 1 month after the first and final
tetanus vaccinations. The lymphoproliferative
responses to Candida and hepatitis A are
measured concomitantly. Additional blood
samples are collected at specified time
intervals designed to establish the lag time
of immune recovery and identify the phenotype
of T cells at baseline and over time.
Evaluation of immune reconstitution is based
on CD4 T cell rise, phenotype, and function
as well as a significant virologic
suppression.

PROTOCOL TITLE Mononuclear Cell Phenotyping in Normal
Children.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To perform peripheral blood
lymphocyte subset phenotyping using a 3-color
flow cytometry panel in HIV-negative,
non-exposed, normal pediatric patients in
which race and ethnicity resemble
HIV-infected and/or exposed patients.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Early in life, the cells involved
in immune selection differentiate into CD4+
and CD8+ cells. Currently there is
insufficient information on the cell
maturation and activation of these peripheral
blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) subsets in
normal children. The critical need for this
information has been brought about by the
pediatric HIV/AIDS epidemic, which requires
the measurement of peripheral blood CD4+ T
cells and other cells types for
interpretation of HIV disease progression.
The immunopathogenesis of pediatric HIV
infection differs from that in adults but is
not well understood. In order to better
understand HIV disease progression in
HIV-infected children, these PBMC subsets
must be studied in normal children so that
control values can be established.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Healthy infants, children, and
adolescents presenting for routine care or
elective surgery have a single blood sample
obtained. Blood is used for complete blood
count, peripheral blood mononuclear cell flow
analysis for surface markers, and plasma and
cell storage. Demographic information
including age, sex, race, and ethnicity is
obtained at the time of the blood draw. The
reason for the patient's visit is also
documented. No study drugs are administered
or supplied as part of this study.
Statistical analysis is used to estimate the
median distribution of each CD4 and CD8
subset.

PROTOCOL TITLE Multi-Drug Antiretroviral Therapy for Heavily
Pretreated Pediatric AIDS Patients: A Phase I
Proof of Concept Trial.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine the safety, tolerance,
pharmacokinetics, and antivirologic effect of
co-administering stavudine (d4T), didanosine
(ddI), lamivudine (3TC), nelfinavir (NFV),
ritonavir (RTV), saquinavir (SQV), and
nevirapine (NVP), at higher than standard
doses for selected drugs, with hydroxyurea
(HU) in pediatric AIDS patients with advanced
disease and prior therapy.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Clinicians are increasingly
confronted with HIV-positive children who
have failed all available antiretroviral
therapies and have few viable treatment
options. Virologic failure in these patients
may be a result of antiretroviral resistance,
likely a result of poor adherence to the
treatment regimen or inadequate dosing. This
study is designed to achieve adherence
through observation of drug administration
for the first 8 weeks of the study and to
further overcome resistance by intensive,
high-dose, multi-drug therapy. Treatment with
more than four drugs has not been studied
formally in children, but pediatricians
caring for children with AIDS have used such
strategies off study with success. Dose
intensification may also aid in overcoming
resistance; therefore, in this trial, d4T,
3TC, and NFV are administered at up to twice
their standard doses. Given the limited
therapeutic options available to HIV-positive
children with poor prognoses, high-dose,
multi-drug therapy merits study. [AS PER
AMENDMENT 1/7/00: Pancreatitis, which may be
fatal in some cases, has occurred during
therapy with ddI. The risk of pancreatitis
may be increased when ddI is used in
combination with HU. ACTG A5025, a study that
had a d4T/ddI/HU arm, was terminated because
of significant toxicity concerns related to
the HU-containing arm. Patients enrolled in
ACTG P1007 may be at increased risk of
developing pancreatitis given their advanced
disease state and the use of multiple drugs
including HU. The study had been amended to
address these concerns.]
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patient enrollment is staged to
allow study physicians to aggressively
monitor patients for signs of toxicity.
Initially, patients are admitted to a
hospital or clinical research center for 2
weeks, where they initiate an eight-drug
regimen and undergo frequent physical exams
and blood tests to assess pharmacokinetics,
virologic response, and toxicity. If
investigators identify important drug
interactions requiring modification of the
combination regimen, or if there are early
regimen-terminating toxicities, the trial
will be halted to address these concerns.
After 2 weeks, the patient is discharged to
return home. Study personnel visit the
patient's house twice a day for 6 more weeks
to observe drug administration, and the
patient continues to receive regular physical
exams and blood tests. At the end of Week 24,
all patients with plasma RNA levels of 10,000
copies/ml or less are offered the opportunity
to continue their regimen to Week 48.
Patients with plasma RNA levels above 10,000
copies/ml at Week 24 and patients who
experience virologic rebound at or after Week
24 are taken off study unless the patient's
family and the investigator feel it is in the
best interest of the child to remain on
study.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase I/II, Open-Label Study of the Safety,
Tolerance, Pharmacokinetics, Drug-Interaction
and Anti-HIV Activity of Intramuscularly
Administered Alpha-Epi-Br (HE2000) in
HIV-Infected Patients on Salvage Therapy.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To evaluate: 1) the safety,
tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of HE2000
following single and repeated
administrations; 2) the potential for drug
interaction of HE2000 with other
antiretroviral agents; 3) the antiretroviral
activity of HE2000 and duration of viral
suppression following repeated
administrations; and 4) the potential for
drug-resistant virus as a result of an
intermittent dosing regimen.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: HE2000 is a synthetic steroid
hormone that, when tested in the laboratory,
had anti-viral activity against wild-type and
drug-resistant variants of HIV. HE2000 works
through a natural biochemical mechanism in
cells to make them less able to support viral
infection.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: There are 4 treatment groups of
increasing doses of HE2000; each group
consists of 2 parts (Part A and B). Part A is
a single administration of HE2000 injected
intramuscularly, and Part B is 5 consecutive
daily intramuscular injections of HE2000.
Patients receive the same dosage throughout
Parts A and B of the study. Patients are
asked to return to the clinic periodically
for blood sample collection. Patients may
remain at the hospital overnight for
pharmacokinetic evaluation. Drug safety,
tolerance, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics are
measured. Samples from treatment Group 4 are
analyzed for specific cell function.

PROTOCOL TITLE Cerebrospinal Fluid Human Immunodeficiency
Virus-1 (HIV-1) and Cognitive Function in
Individuals Receiving Potent Antiretroviral
Therapy.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare the magnitude and
durability of suppression of HIV-1 RNA in the
plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
compartments in response to potent
antiretroviral therapy. To determine if the
magnitude and durability of the CSF HIV-1 RNA
response to potent antiretroviral therapy is
associated with improved performance on
neuropsychological tests.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: HIV-1 RNA emerges in CSF early in
the course of HIV disease. Studies have shown
that high levels of HIV-1 RNA in CSF
correlate with increased severity of dementia
and worsened performance on
neuropsychological tests. While combination
antiretroviral treatments are potent
suppressors of HIV-1 replication in plasma,
the extent to which these treatments suppress
viral replication in CSF is unknown. A few
studies suggest that antiretroviral
treatments can reduce HIV-1 RNA in CSF.
However, since CSF is isolated from
peripheral immune responses to HIV and
antiretroviral treatment may not readily
penetrate the compartment, researchers
hypothesize the remaining virus will overcome
the antiretroviral treatment to achieve high
levels of viral replication again. This
virologic failure is likely accompanied by
decreased cognitive function. It is therefore
critical to determine the ability of
antiretroviral treatments to control HIV-1
replication in the CSF and the durability of
that viral suppression.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients enrolling in 1 of
several AACTG-sponsored potent antiretroviral
therapy trials (a parent trial) may enter
this study. [AS PER AMENDMENT 6/6/00:
Patients already enrolled in an
AACTG-sponsored study who are changing
treatment due to virologic failure may also
enter this study.] Patients receive no
treatment but undergo various procedures
aimed at characterizing the effects of
antiretroviral therapies on CSF viral load
and cognitive function. Procedures include:
1) venipuncture to measure plasma HIV-1 RNA
and DNA levels, CD4+ T cell count, and
cytokine and immune activation markers
associated with HIV-1 neurological disorders;
2) neuropsychological examinations to measure
cognitive function; and 3) lumbar punctures
to obtain CSF samples, which are used to
determine the pharmacokinetics of
antiretroviral agents in CSF and to determine
levels of blood cells, cytokine and immune
activation markers, and HIV-1 RNA and DNA. An
entry visit must occur before initiating
potent antiretroviral therapy in the parent
trial [AS PER AMENDMENT 6/6/00: or before
changing the antiretroviral regimen due to
virologic failure in an ongoing trial].
Subsequent visits occur at 24 weeks, 12
months, and then annually. If evaluations,
procedures, or assays for a given patient's
parent trial occur at the times specified in
this study, they are not duplicated for this
study. Other visits may occur when a patient
changes antiretroviral treatment or
discontinues a parent trial.

PROTOCOL TITLE Metabolic Consequences of Highly Active
Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) in
HIV-Positive Individuals.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR Subha Raghavan
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to
compare the randomized HAART strategy groups
in the FIRST (Flexible Initial Retrovirus
Suppressive Therapies) protocol (CPCRA 058)
for changes in total cholesterol,
triglycerides, waist circumference, and
waist-to-hip ratio. The randomized HAART
strategies in the FIRST study are (1) a
protease inhibitor (PI)-containing regimen,
(2) a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase
(NNRTI)-containing regimen, and (3) a
combination PI- and NNRTI-containing regimen.
Background nucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitor (NRTI) therapy is included in each
regimen.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Close to 3 years into widespread
PI use, several toxicities, including
metabolic alterations, are being reported
increasingly in conjunction with the use of
PI-containing regimens. Some of the
manifestations of these metabolic alterations
include hyper/dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia,
insulin resistance and glucose intolerance,
lipodystrophy (in face and extremities), and
body fat redistribution (e.g., central
obesity and buffalo humps). Despite reports
of increasing prevalence of metabolic
complications among PI users, the question of
whether they result from PI therapy has not
been answered. Some of these complications,
e.g., a decrease in peripheral fat with an
increase in visceral fat and buffalo hump,
have been observed in HIV-infected
individuals who were not receiving PIs. This
study compares 3 different antiretroviral
regimens used in the FIRST study (CPCRA 058),
1 of which does not contain a PI, and
examines metabolic alterations which occur.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: This study enrolls patients
simultaneously co-enrolling in the FIRST
protocol; 120 patients from each of the FIRST
study strategy groups. At entry, Months 1 and
4, and then every 4 months, blood is drawn to
measure serum glucose, insulin, total
cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL
cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. At
entry and Months 4, 8, 12, and then every 12
months, body cell mass, and body fat by
bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) are
assessed. [AS PER AMENDMENT 7/5/01: At Months
4, 8, and 12, then every 4 months through
closure of the FIRST protocol] patients are
weighed and skinfold measurements and body
circumference measurements are done.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase III Multicenter Randomized Study of
the Biological and Clinical Efficacy of
Subcutaneous Recombinant, Human Interleukin-2
in HIV-Infected Patients with Low CD4+ Counts
Under Active Antiretroviral Therapy
(SILCAAT).
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare patients receiving both
Chiron recombinant human interleukin-2 (IL-2)
and antiretroviral treatment with patients
receiving only antiretroviral treatment with
respect to time of first AIDS-defining event
on study or death. Methodology: Patients are
randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. Patients
in Arm 1 receive subcutaneous IL-2 twice a
day for 5 days, every 8 weeks, in addition to
antiretroviral treatment. Patients in Arm 2
receive antiretroviral treatment only. In
both groups, CD4+ T cell counts and viral
load are monitored. Schedule of visits: All
patients (control group and IL-2 treated
group) have a medical examination and a blood
test every 2 months for the first year only,
and every 4 months thereafter for up to 6
years total.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To assess if a potent antiretroviral
intervention early in the course of HIV
infection can lead to a decrease in plasma
HIV RNA to less than 200 copies/ml through 12
weeks following discontinuation of
maintenance therapy. [AS PER AMENDMENT
3/7/01: To compare between patients with
acute infection versus recent seroconversion
whether a potent antiretroviral intervention
early in the course of HIV infection can lead
to controlled viremia for 24 weeks off
treatment.] To evaluate the safety and
tolerance of the induction and maintenance
therapy arms when administered to patients
with acute HIV infection or recent
seroconversion.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Acute, primary HIV infection
represents a potentially unique opportunity
to eradicate the infection. Although plasma
viral load rises rapidly, the dominant
infecting virus is relatively uniform
genetically, and infection may not be fully
established in all tissue sites until some
time after exposure. Current antiretroviral
therapy is able to reduce plasma viral load
to unmeasurable levels in established
infection. However, there are many questions
that remain about the treatment of primary
HIV infection. While it is assumed that
aggressive antiretroviral regimens are
required, it is not known how long they must
be continued. It is hoped that after an
interval of aggressive therapy, the number of
agents could be safely reduced. This study
evaluates if viral suppression can be
sustained after study therapy is withdrawn.
The drug regimen includes 2 relatively new,
potent antiretroviral drugs, amprenavir (a
protease inhibitor, or PI) and abacavir (a
nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor,
or NRTI). [AS PER AMENDMENT 3/7/01: Recent
reports of the success of supervised
treatment interruption in patients who began
potent antiretroviral therapy early in their
infection are encouraging. However, these
studies have had only small numbers of
patients with limited duration of follow-up
and primarily included individuals treated
prior to seroconversion. This study proposes
to validate these preliminary data, as well
as to determine whether the benefits of early
treatment and supervised treatment
interruption extend into early infection
after seroconversion.]
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: [AS PER AMENDMENT 3/7/01: The
new methods are as follows: Induction Phase
(Step 1): Patients receive open-label
treatment with lamivudine (3TC), stavudine
(d4T), abacavir (ABC), and amprenavir
(APV)/ritonavir (RTV) for at least 52 weeks.
Maintenance Phase (Step 2): Step 2 is closed
to enrollment with Version 3.0. Patients on
Version 2.0 are randomized to 1 of 3
treatment arms at Week 52. Patients in Arm A
continue induction therapy. Patients in Arm B
discontinue ABC. Patients in Arm C
discontinue APV/RTV. After Version 3.0 is
approved, patients may continue on the active
medications of their induction regimen and be
followed every 4 weeks per the Version 3.0
induction therapy schedule. Patients on
Version 3.0 who meet certain criteria for
treatment interruption proceed to Step 3.
Patients who entered the study prior to
Version 3.0 and choose not to undergo
treatment interruption or patients who are
ineligible for treatment interruption
continue on study medications through Week
112. Patients with confirmed HIV-1 RNA levels
of 5,000 copies/ml or greater after Week 16
should consider discontinuing study drugs and
should continue in study follow-up on an
alternative regimen at the discretion of
their physician. Treatment interruption (Step
3): All antiretroviral therapy is
discontinued simultaneously. Patients are
followed off therapy for 24 weeks or through
Week 112, whichever is later. Patients who
meet certain criteria for reinduction therapy
proceed to Step 4. Treatment is restarted for
patients who meet certain criteria.
Reinduction Phase (Step 4): Patients receive
treatment as in Step 1 minus ABC. Patients
who meet certain criteria for second
treatment interruption proceed to Step 5.
Patients who are ineligible for a second
treatment interruption continue on
reinduction therapy for 24 weeks or through
Week 112, whichever is later. Second
Treatment Interruption (Step 5): Treatment is
interrupted as in Step 3. Patients who meet
the criteria to restart therapy prior to Week
112 proceed to Step 6. Post-Interruption
Therapy (Step 6): Patients receive treatment
as in Step 4. Patients also may co-enroll in
immunologic, compartment, pharmacologic,
and/or medication compliance substudies.].

PROTOCOL ID NUMBERS NIAID ACTG 391
PROTOCOL TITLE Use of a Live-Attenuated Varicella-Zoster
Virus (VZV) Vaccine to Boost Immunity to VZV
in HIV-Infected Children Previously Infected
with Varicella.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Vaccine
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR Anne Gershon
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To monitor short-term local and
systemic reactions following administration
of live-attenuated varicella-zoster virus
(VZV) vaccine in HIV-infected children with
previous varicella and no prior history of
herpes zoster (HZ).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Varicella (chickenpox) results
from primary infection with VZV. Varicella, a
common and usually benign illness in normal
children, is more severe in HIV-infected
children and may result in other conditions
such as HZ (shingles). HZ is due to
reactivation of latent VZV acquired during
varicella and is common in HIV-infected
children who have had natural varicella.
While HZ is not likely to be life-threatening
in these children, it does cause considerable
morbidity and interferes with quality of
life. Use of a live-attenuated VZV vaccine
may be able to boost immunity in these
children.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Two immunologic cohorts are
enrolled. Cohort A includes children with a
CD4 cell percentage greater than or equal to
20 percent that has been documented as stable
for at least the 6 months prior to the time
varicella developed (confirmed by a minimum
of 2 tests) and a CD4 cell percentage greater
than [AS PER AMENDMENT 10/27/99: or equal to]
15 percent that has been documented as stable
for at least the 6 months prior to enrollment
(confirmed by a minimum of 2 tests). Cohort B
includes children with a CD4 cell percentage
greater than or equal to 10 percent and less
than 15 percent that has been documented as
stable for at least the 6 months prior to the
time varicella developed and stable for at
least the 6 months prior to enrollment
(confirmed by a minimum of 2 tests). [AS PER
AMENDMENT 4/20/01: Cohort B includes children
who have a CD4 cell percentage less than 15%
documented by a minimum of 1 but preferably 2
tests within 1 year of onset of varicella
(i.e., within 1 year before to 1 year after
varicella) and a CD4 cell percentage greater
than or equal to 15% documented by a minimum
of 2 tests at the time of enrollment.] A
pilot study precedes the full study. [AS PER
AMENDMENT 10/27/99: The pilot study for
Cohort A precedes the full study for Cohort A
and the pilot study for Cohort B. The pilot
study for Cohort B precedes the full study
for Cohort B.] The pilot study includes 10
children from each cohort who receive
live-attenuated VZV at Weeks 0 and 8. If 3
pilot-study patients in a cohort meet a
toxicity endpoint related to the vaccine, the
dose regimen has failed the safety criteria
for that cohort. [AS PER AMENDMENT 10/27/99:
If 3 children in the pilot study for Cohort A
meet a toxicity endpoint deemed to be related
to the vaccine, the dose regimen has failed
safety criteria for both cohorts. If 3
children in the pilot phase of Cohort B meet
a toxicity endpoint deemed related to the
vaccine, the dose regimen has failed the
safety criteria for Cohort B.] If, at 12
weeks after immunization, at least 5
pilot-study patients in a cohort respond and
the safety profile is deemed adequate, the
pilot study extends into a full study with
the immunization of an additional 20 patients
from that cohort. [AS PER AMENDMENT 10/27/99:
If, at Week 12, at least 5 pilot-study
patients in Cohort A meet immunologic
criteria and the safety profile is deemed
adequate, then the full study for Cohort A
and the pilot study for Cohort B opens. If
the same immunologic and safety criteria are
met for the pilot study for Cohort B, then
the full study for Cohort B opens.] If either
cohort shows an inadequate immunologic
response or safety profile, the study team
reviews the results to determine if another
regimen should be considered. In the full
study, patients receive 2 immunizations, at
Weeks 0 and 8. Varicella antibody titers and
in vitro responder cell frequency (RCF)
assays are measured at Weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 24,
52, 78, and 104. Symptoms, HIV progression,
and VZV presence are monitored throughout the
study.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Prospective Study of Long-Term Clinical,
Virologic, and Immunologic Outcomes in
HIV-Infected Individuals.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare rates, within individual
CPCRA clinical trials, of morbidity and
mortality in patients randomized to different
HIV treatment or management strategies: (1)
CPCRA 058, FIRST: To compare 3 strategies of
first-time HAART for delaying disease
progression and death. (2) CPCRA 059,
interleukin-2 (IL-2): To compare the effect
of subcutaneous IL-2 plus antiretroviral
therapy versus antiretroviral therapy alone
in delaying disease progression and death.
(3) CPCRA 042, NvR: To compare the effect of
2 antiretroviral treatments, 1 starting with
combination therapy including nelfinavir
(NFV) and the other starting with combination
therapy including ritonavir (RTV), in
delaying disease progression and death [AS
PER AMENDMENT 2/28/01: in delaying mortality]
in HIV-infected patients with CD4 cell counts
less than 200 cells/mm3. (4) CPCRA 057, PIP:
To compare the effects of using efavirenz
(EFV) alone, with a single protease inhibitor
(PI) or with a double PI on disease
progression and death among patients failing
on NFV, indinavir (IDV), or RTV. (5) CPCRA
046 and 039, GART and bis-POM: To evaluate
the prognostic importance for delaying
disease progression and death of genotypic
resistance patterns. [AS PER AMENDMENT
2/28/01: The fourth and fifth objectives
listed above are no longer included. (6)
CPCRA 064, MDR-HIV: To compare the effect of
a strategy of prescribing a 4-month
antiretroviral structured treatment
interruption followed by initiating a new
antiretroviral regimen versus a strategy of
immediately initiating a new antiretroviral
regimen in delaying mortality in patients
with multidrug-resistant HIV. (7) All other
qualifying protocols: To compare the effects
of the randomized interventions in delaying
disease progression and death.]
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Highly active antiretroviral
therapy (HAART) often results in short-term
benefits for people with HIV in terms of
reduced plasma viral levels and increased CD4
cell counts. When used at an early stage of
HIV disease, however, the clinical benefit of
HAART is uncertain. Many questions still
remain regarding the optimal use of
antiretroviral therapies, such as the timing
of initial antiretroviral therapy and the
composition of the best combination regimen
to use initially or after virologic failure.
Randomized trials of different starting
antiretroviral regimens (e.g., FIRST [CPCRA
058]), different regimens after initial
virologic failure (e.g., PIP [CPCRA 057]),
and different management strategies for HIV
infection (e.g., bis-POM [CPCRA 039], NvR
[CPCRA 042], GART [CPCRA 046], and IL-2
VL/Dose [CPCRA 059] are being conducted by
the CPCRA. [AS PER AMENDMENT 2/28/01: The
MDR-HIV (CPCRA 064) protocol is now included
as an example of a different management
strategy for HIV infection, whereas the
bis-POM (CPCRA 039) protocol is no longer
included.] This study provides a mechanism
for long-term monitoring of patients enrolled
in these trials as well as
antiretroviral-naive patients who are either
starting treatment or electing to defer
treatment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are divided into 3
groups. Group A consists of patients
currently enrolled in or currently being
followed in an ongoing qualifying study (see
Purpose for CPCRA trials which qualify).
Group B consists of patients previously
enrolled in but not currently being followed
in a qualifying study. Group C consists of
antiretroviral-naive patients not enrolling
in a qualifying study (i.e., patients
starting treatment outside the FIRST study or
patients deferring treatment). Patients in
Group A undergo monitoring of selected
clinical and laboratory parameters (including
plasma HIV RNA levels and CD4 cell counts)
once every 4 weeks beginning after completion
of all follow-up appointments for all other
protocols in which they were enrolled.
Patients in Groups B and C undergo monitoring
of selected clinical and laboratory
parameters (including plasma HIV RNA levels
and CD4 cell counts) once every 4 months.
Patients are followed for at least 5 years.
[AS PER AMENDMENT 2/28/01: Patients who are
not being followed in a qualifying protocol
and are antiretroviral naive at enrollment or
were previously enrolled in the FIRST (CPCRA
058) protocol undergo blood draws at
enrollment and then annually for measurement
of plasma HIV levels by a CPCRA-approved

PROTOCOL TITLE A Randomized Clinical Trial of the Efficacy
of a Behavioral Intervention to Prevent
Acquisition of HIV Among Men Who Have Sex
with Men.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Negative
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of a
behavioral intervention to reduce
seroincidence of HIV infections in a
population of men who have sex with men
(MSM). Specifically, three-year seroincidence
of HIV infections observed in a sample of MSM
randomized to the behavioral intervention is
compared with that observed in MSM randomized
to the control condition (standard HIV
pre-test and post-test risk reduction
counseling based on the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention/Project RESPECT
model).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: The intervention being evaluated
in this trial is based on the extensive
literature on behavioral approaches to risk
reduction in MSM. These reviews recommend an
intervention that, unlike the current
standard HIV pre-test and post-test
risk-reduction counseling, is tailored to an
individual's unique problems and needs,
lifestyle, and situations that contribute to
high-risk behavior. Furthermore, there is a
need for HIV-prevention intervention trials
using biological endpoints (e.g., HIV
seroconversion) in addition to behavioral
change indices.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Participants are randomly
assigned to receive either the behavioral
intervention or the control risk-reduction
counseling. The same counseling staff
provides the two types of treatment. The
behavioral intervention consists of 10
counseling sessions within a 4-month period
followed by quarterly maintenance sessions
for the remainder of the 3-year follow-up.
The intervention is conducted on a one-to-one
basis and targets condom use, change in
sexual practices associated with HIV risk,
and change in sexual practices in the context
of alcohol and drug use. Participants in the
control group receive pre- and post-test
counseling at enrollment, then semiannually
through Month 36. Beginning at Month 6, all
participants complete routine semiannual
visits. At each visit, Risk Assessment and
phlebotomy for specimen collection for HIV
antibody tests are administered. As is
routine in most public counseling and testing
venues, participants in the control condition
do not see the same counselor consistently.

PROTOCOL TITLE HAART versus HAART Plus Interleukin 2 (IL-2)
in Primary, Recently Seroconverted
HIV-Infected Patients.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment Naive
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR Richard Davey
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To examine the ability of highly
active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in
combination with interleukin-2 (IL-2) to
reduce the reservoir of latent virus in
resting CD4+ T cells and restore components
of the immune system. To provide immunologic
and virologic characterization of changes
occurring in HIV-seropositive patients and
patients with primary HIV infection receiving
either HAART plus IL-2 or HAART alone.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Although HAART has been successful
in controlling plasma HIV viral levels and
replication in infected patients, it has not
been able to eradicate the latent virus from
the resting CD4+ T cell compartment. In
addition, the effects of HAART on immunologic
restoration have been comparatively modest.
It is believed that the use of immune
modulators in combination with antiretroviral
agents may represent an important approach to
immune reconstitution and viral eradication.
Therefore, IL-2 is being studied for its
potential role in supplementing HAART.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are enrolled into 1 of
3 cohorts. Patients in Cohorts 1 and 2 are
randomized to receive HAART plus IL-2 (Arm I)
or HAART alone (Arm II). Patients in Cohort 1
are referred to the study team through a
CPCRA study with their treatment determined
and administered under the auspices of that
protocol. [AS PER AMENDMENT 12/08/99: Cohort
1 never enrolled patients and is terminated.]
Cohort 2 consists of patients in the early
stages of HIV infection with their treatment
determined under the auspices of this
protocol. Cohort 3 consists primarily of
patients who are receiving HAART plus IL-2 or
are IL-2 naive and eligible to receive HAART
plus IL-2. All patients in Cohort 3 take
HAART plus IL-2. Patients in Cohorts 1 to 3
are required to take antiretroviral
medications satisfying a reasonable
definition of HAART, as per the judgment of
the study team. The specific composition of
HAART is left to the discretion of the
treating clinician for patients in Cohorts 1
and 3. Patients in Cohort 2 receive an
initial 4-drug regimen consisting of
stavudine (or zidovudine), lamivudine,
indinavir (or nelfinavir), and efavirenz (or
nevirapine). IL-2 is provided and clinical
care offered to patients in Arm I of Cohort 2
as well as to patients in Cohort 3 if not
provided under another protocol. IL-2 is
administered twice daily for 5 consecutive
days in 8-week cycles. Study participants are
taught to self-administer the doses. For
patients in Arm I of Cohort 2 and IL-2-naive
patients in Cohort 3, cycles of IL-2 begin
once plasma HIV RNA levels are documented and
confirmed below 50 copies/ml while on HAART
therapy. [AS PER AMENDMENT 10/27/99: Viral
load must be below 1,000 copies/ml for IL-2
therapy.] Patients in Arm I of Cohort 2 and
IL-2 naive patients in Cohort 3 receive at
least 3 cycles during the first 6 months
following randomization. After 3 cycles,
treatment is guided on an individual basis
determined by CD4 cell count. Throughout the
study, periodic sampling of peripheral blood,
leukapheresis, and, in Cohort 2, optional
lymph node biopsies are performed to compare
virologic and immunologic responses between
the treatment arms.

patient experiences dose-limiting toxicity
(DLT) during the 5-day administration of
IL-2, the remaining IL-2 doses are held until
the DLT has decreased in severity to Grade 2
or less and is no longer considered
dose-limiting. At this point, the patient may
have the IL-2 dose reduced for the remainder
of the 5-day cycle. Subsequent cycles are
initiated at a dose below the level that gave
rise to the DLT during the previous cycle. 2.
Pregnancy or breast-feeding. 3. Intercurrent
illness that, in the judgment of the
clinician, would significantly affect the

regimen for any reason. To continue IL-2
treatments, patients must be willing and able
to restart HAART at least 1 day prior to a
cycle and continuing through to at least 9
days after completion of the cycle.

PROTOCOL TITLE Establishment and Maintenance of Long-Term
Undetectable Plasma HIV-1 RNA: Correlation
with Immunologic Reconstitution and Viral
Dynamics.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR Patricia Flynn
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine if a positive
correlation exists between the baseline
immunologic status and the virologic and
immunologic responses to highly active
antiretroviral therapy (HAART) at 1, 2, and 3
years after initiation of treatment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Recent adult clinical trials
involving combination HAART, including a
protease inhibitor (PI), have demonstrated
improvements in somatic immune system
functioning. [AS PER AMENDMENT 2/27/01: More
recently, similar success has been
demonstrated with a PI-sparing regimen,
zidovudine, lamivudine, and efavirenz.] Not
all individuals, however, experience the same
level of immune reconstitution, and
oftentimes any improvement is short-lived.
Adolescent patients may have a greater
potential for immune restoration because of
residual thymic tissue and therefore may
experience greater long-term virus-free
states as compared to adult patients. This
study examines the duration of virologic
efficacy HAART has on the adolescent
HIV-positive population.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients begin study by
initiating a HAART regimen of a minimum of 3
drugs, at least 1 of which must be a PI [AS
PER AMENDMENT 2/27/01: or efavirenz (EFV)]. A
variety of drug combinations are used;
therefore, patients are grouped according to
the classes of drugs in their respective
regimen (e.g., 2 nucleoside reverse
transcriptase inhibitors [NRTIs] plus 1 PI; 2
NRTIs plus 2 PIs; 1 or 2 NRTIs plus 1 PI plus
1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitor [NNRTI] [AS PER AMENDMENT 2/27/01:
; and 2 NRTIs plus EFV]). At the time of
HAART initiation, patients undergo
immunologic and virologic assessments in
order to determine baseline values. Then, to
determine the virologic success or failure of
HAART, HIV-1 RNA measurements are taken and
compared to initial baseline values.
Virologic success equals undetectable HIV-1
RNA at Week 12 [AS PER AMENDMENT 2/27/01: and
confirmed at Week 16] or a significant
(greater than 1 log) decrease in HIV-1 RNA
from baseline to Week 12 [AS PER AMENDMENT
2/27/01: and confirmed undetectable HIV-1 RNA
before the next scheduled visit (Week 24)].
Patients are followed for a minimum of 3
years of maintained viral suppression or
until they have demonstrated virologic
failure. From these values, any correlation
that may exist between HIV-1 RNA values and
HAART can be deduced. Patients with virologic
failure on the initial HAART regimen may be
allowed to change to a second HAART regimen.
[AS PER AMENDMENT 2/27/01: Patients with
virologic success on the second HAART regimen
are followed for a minimum of 3 years.]
Patients with virologic failure on the second
HAART regimen or who voluntarily discontinue
HAART are followed using an abbreviated
schedule for 3 years.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Randomized, Open-Label Study of the
Long-Term Effectiveness of Three Initial
Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART)
Strategies in HAART-Naive, HIV-Infected
Persons.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR Rodger MacArthur
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CO-CHAIR Douglas Mayer
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To compare the effects of 3 HAART
strategies on long-term HIV RNA levels. To
evaluate which of these antiretroviral (AR)
treatment regimens is the most effective
initial treatment for HIV infection. To
assess the number of and reasons for changes
in AR treatment regimens.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Treatment with HAART regimens
containing protease inhibitors (PIs) or
nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitors (NNRTIs) has been shown to slow
disease progression. However, the long-term
consequences of initial therapy with a PI, an
NNRTI, or both a PI and an NNRTI are not yet
known, nor is the impact on future AR
treatment regimens. Patients who experience
virologic failure on a particular HAART
regimen typically have not been studied for
subsequent response to other HAART regimens.
It is possible that a regimen which is
initially the most potent may not be optimal
if it limits the effectiveness of subsequent
AR therapies.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Patients are randomized to 1 of
3 HAART treatment arms: Arm 1: 1 or 2 PIs
plus 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitors (NRTIs). Arm 2: 1 NNRTI plus 2
NRTIs. Arm 3: 1 or 2 PIs plus an NNRTI plus 1
or 2 NRTIs. Before randomization to a
treatment arm, patients are given the option
of pre-selecting the drugs they will use or
allowing randomization to study-specified
drugs. The study-specified PIs are indinavir
(IDV), nelfinavir (NFV), or 2 PIs of patient
and doctor choice. The study-specified NNRTIs
are nevirapine (NVP) or efavirenz (EFV). The
choice of NRTIs is decided by the doctor. [AS
PER AMENDMENT 9/9/99: The study-specified
NRTIs are abacavir (ABC) plus lamivudine
(3TC) or didanosine (ddI) plus stavudine
(d4T).] This study involves only medical
follow-up and evaluation of blood tests; all
drugs are obtained by clinician prescription.
[AS PER AMENDMENT 9/9/99: ABC and 3TC are
provided to all patients who are taking both
ABC and 3TC. All patients who are taking
either or both ddI and d4T are provided with
ddI and/or d4T. All other AR drugs for
initial and subsequent treatment regimens are
obtained by clinician prescription.] At
Months 1 and 4 and then every 4 months
thereafter, patients receive a physical
examination, and blood samples are drawn to
measure CD4 cell count and plasma HIV RNA
level. Changes in treatment regimens may
occur at any time, and reasons for the
changes are recorded.

PROTOCOL TITLE Studies of Lymphocyte Kinetics Using
Bromodeoxyuridine.
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To develop a more complete
understanding of lymphocyte kinetics (rate of
replication, destruction, and effects of
therapy) in HIV-infected patients using
bromodeoxyuridine (BrDU) as a marker of
replication. To determine the safety of both
single and repeated infusions of BrDU in
patients.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: To understand the mechanism behind
immunodeficiency in HIV patients, it becomes
advantageous to quantitatively track
lymphocyte replication and destruction. In
this study, BrDU, an analog of thymidine, is
infused into patients and subsequently
incorporated into target cell DNA.
Measurements of BrDU in subpopulations of
cells will determine the rate of replication
of these cells.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: To understand the rate of
lymphocyte replication, patients are given a
30-minute infusion of BrDU. The BrDU is
incorporated into target cell DNA and then
used to track lymphocyte kinetics. Blood
samples are taken up to 12 times during the
day following the infusion. Subsequently,
blood may be drawn daily for the first week,
then twice weekly for an additional 3 weeks,
and then weekly to monthly for up to 1 year.
To obtain long-term safety information,
patients are seen or contacted by telephone
yearly for an additional 4 years. Patients
may later be asked to receive repeat
infusions. All patients are reimbursed for
time and potential discomfort.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Phase I Trial of the Safety and
Pharmacokinetics of Fortovase
(Saquinavir-SGC) Co-Administered with Low
Dose (Ritonavir) RTV, ZDV and 3TC in HIV
Seropositive Pregnant Women During Gestation
and Postpartum, and in Their Infant's
Post-Maternal Dosing.
TRIAL CATEGORY Asymptomatic
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Pregnancy
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CHAIR Carmen Zorrilla
PROTOCOL CHAIRS CO-CHAIR Arlene Bardeguez
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To assess the antepartum and
postpartum pharmacokinetics, safety, and
tolerance of saquinavir-SGC (SQV) when
combined with [AS PER AMENDMENT 8/15/00:
ritonavir (RTV),] zidovudine (ZDV), and
lamivudine (3TC) in HIV-infected pregnant
women [AS PER AMENDMENT 8/15/00: and to
determine if SQV can achieve adequate drug
exposure during pregnancy with the addition
of low-dose RTV to SQV]. To assess the
transplacental passage of SQV and to
determine the safety and tolerance of prior
maternal dosing in the newborn.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: Although administration of ZDV to
mother-infant pairs has dramatically reduced
perinatal HIV infection, the goal is to
reduce it further to less than 2%. In order
to achieve this, combination strategies need
to be developed for 2 purposes: 1) to reduce
the perinatal transmission rate to goal
levels; and 2) to provide other combination
therapies for HIV-infected mothers whose
virus has become resistant to ZDV, who have a
very high viral load, or who have previously
transmitted HIV while on ZDV. This study adds
3TC (another reverse transcriptase inhibitor)
and SQV (a protease inhibitor [PI]) [AS PER
AMENDMENT 8/15/00: with low-dose RTV (another
PI)] to the mother's ZDV regimen.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: During the antepartum period,
mothers receive SQV with [AS PER AMENDMENT
8/15/00: low-dose RTV plus] ZDV and 3TC. At
onset of active labor, mothers receive
loading doses of each of the study drugs,
then receive study drugs for 12 weeks
postpartum on the same schedule as during the
antenatal period. Within 12 hours of
delivery, infants begin receiving 3TC and ZDV
and continue until 6 weeks of age. Mothers
are followed until 12 weeks postpartum and
babies are followed until 6 months of age.
[AS PER AMENDMENT 2/9/99: For maternal
dosing, 1 Combivir tablet (containing 3TC and
ZDV) may be administered in place of the
individual agents 3TC and ZDV. Patients who
prematurely discontinue study treatment
should continue to be followed for the
duration of the study.].

GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine the clinical
characteristics and numbers of HIV-infected
pregnant women available for participation in
Pediatric ACTG perinatal trials. To determine
the antiretroviral usage patterns among these
women during both the immediate pre-pregnancy
period and during pregnancy. To describe the
characteristics relevant to the
inclusion/exclusion criteria in proposed
perinatal trials in order to assist with
accrual estimates for future trials.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: The population served at
affiliated ACTG sites has not been officially
described. Anecdotal evidence, however, has
surfaced regarding the characteristics of
HIV-infected pregnant women and the current
standard of care during pregnancy. This chart
abstraction study is designed to define, more
accurately, the pertinent characteristics and
general numbers of women in these trials.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: In this medical chart
abstraction study, pertinent information is
collected on all HIV-infected pregnant women
and their infants who receive primary or
consultative care at PACTG 367 study sites.
Part A profiles all HIV-infected women who
received care or consultation at study sites
and who had a pregnancy outcome between
January 1, 1998 through July 1, 1998. Part B
profiles HIV-infected pregnant women who
receive primary or consultative care and a
pregnancy outcome following July 1, 1998.

PROTOCOL TITLE A Pilot Study of the Immunologic
Reconstitution in HIV-1 Infected Children
Receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral
Therapy with Combination Ritonavir,
Nevirapine, and Stavudine.
TRIAL CATEGORY Child
TRIAL CATEGORY HIV Infection
TRIAL CATEGORY Adolescent
TRIAL CATEGORY Adult
TRIAL CATEGORY Treatment Naive
GENERAL DESCRIPTION PURPOSE: To determine whether the treatment
of HIV-infected children with highly active
antiretroviral therapy (HAART) with
ritonavir, nevirapine, and stavudine (d4T)
(with drug substitution in case of
intolerance) will effect immunoreconstitution
with repopulation of naive T-cells. To
determine the anti-HIV activity and the
safety of HAART therapy with ritonavir,
nevirapine, and d4T. To determine changes in
individual drug pharmacokinetic parameters
that result from HAART therapy; specifically,
ritonavir steady-state pharmacokinetics
before and after the addition of nevirapine,
and steady-state pharmacokinetic parameters
of nevirapine in combination with ritonavir
and d4T. To study the development of viral
resistance to the antiretroviral agents used
during therapy in a subset of patients and to
correlate the emergence of resistance with
virologic, immunologic, and clinical
parameters.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION RATIONALE: A central question in AIDS
research is whether effective suppression of
HIV replication leads to regeneration of
T-cell populations with near-complete immune
reconstitution and normalization of the
cytokine profile without the requirement of
specific immunoreconstitutive therapy.
Although treatment of HIV-infected patients
results in increased CD4+ cell number, the
ability to regenerate the naive population of
CD4+ cells in adults remains unresolved.
Children have a greater underlying thymic
activity than adults, allowing researchers to
examine the potential for immune
reconstruction that can result from treatment
with effective antiretroviral therapy.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION METHODOLOGY: Twenty-five HIV-infected
children (no greater than 18 years of age)
without prior treatment with protease
inhibitors, nevirapine, or stavudine are
entered on this pilot study. Patients are
stratified into 2 groups (at least 6
patients/group), based on severity of
clinical signs and symptoms and
immunosuppression, in accord with the CDC
1994 revised classification for HIV infection
in children less than 13 years of age and the
CDC 1993 revised HIV classification and
expanded AIDS surveillance definition for
adolescents and adults. All patients
initially receive oral combination therapy
with HAART (ritonavir, nevirapine, and
stavudine) for 24 months.
