Double-method Comparative Study in Order to Predict the Use of Co-receptors From Type 1 HIV: Phenotypic Study (Trofile ESTA®) and Virologic Response to a CCR5 Antagonist in the Short Term

Spain58 participantsStarted 2009-05

Plain-language summary

The summary of the Study is to compare two methods in order to predict how the 1-HIV will use a co-receptor: the use of an accredited test (TROFILE ESTA®) and the viral response to a CCR5 antagonist in the short term.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients willing to give, sign and date the Informed Consent Form to participate in the Study and to donate their samples for cell and molecular Studies, after receiving the appropriate information about the Study design, the main objective of the Study and the potential risks. * Patients aged \>18. * Patients with chronic HIV infection * Patients with no previous HAART (naïve patients). * Patients that do not meet HAART starting criteria. * Viral load \>1.000 HIV RNA copies/mL * Patients able to understand the Study objectives and able to perform frequent visits to the Study Site. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior HAART (regardless of the HAART type). * Pregnancy or willingness to get pregnant during the Study.

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.

What they're measuring

To determine if there is a correlation between the Trofile ESTA® test for viral tropism and the viral load reduction after a short treatment with maraviroc in naïve patients (patients with no previous HAART)

Timeframe: 10 days of treatment per patient
