Plain-language summary
This phase I/II, multi-center study is designed to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of Raltegravir in patients with end stage liver disease and to assess drug-drug interaction when Raltegravir is combined with immunosuppressive therapy in liver transplant recipients.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age ≥ 18
* Documented HIV-1 infection, hepatitis B or C co-infection is allowed
* Plasma viral load at screening visit below 50 copies per mL for at least 6 months
* Patient with severe liver failure (Meld Score ≥ 15 and/or refractory ascites and/or haemorrhage of digestive tract and/or hepatic encephalopathy) for taking part into period 1
* Patient eligible for the liver transplant waiting list or immediate post transplantation for taking part into period 2
* Abstinence from alcohol intake for at least 6 months (WHO norm)
* Withdrawal from intravenous drug use for at least 6 months (methadone substitution is permitted)
* No ongoing class C opportunistic infection (1993 CDC classification)
* Patient whose clinical and immunovirological condition allows triple therapy with raltegravir + 2 NRTI or raltegravir + NRTI + enfuvirtide
* Patient whose HIV population, according to cumulative genotypes carried out on viral RNA together with treatment history (if available and interpreted as per the ANRS-AC11 algorithm version no.19) does not present a profile of mutations associated with resistance to raltegravir and is sensitive to at least two fully active\* agents selected among nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase analogs NRTI (abacavir, lamivudine, emtricitabine, tenofovir) or enfuvirtide
\*An ARV agent is considered to be fully active if the cumulative genotypes do not show any mutation associated with resistance or any mutation associated with "p…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
