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

Inclusion Criteria:
* Documented HIV-1 infection
* Age ≥ 45 years
* Naïve to integrase inhibitor and etravirine
* At least 6 months of stable antiretroviral therapy (ART) including a boosted protease inhibitor, whatever the number of combined drugs
* HIV-RNA plasma VL ≤ 50 copies/mL during the last 24 months prior to screening visit (Week-6/Week-4), documented by at least 4 time-points with no more than one blip in HIV-RNA plasma viral load between 51 and 200 copies/mL
* HIV-RNA plasma VL ≤ 50 copies/mL at screening visit (Week-6/Week-4)
* A genotype is available (on amplified DNA at Week-6/Week-4 Visit and/or on RNA in the medical history of the patient) and shows a virus sensitive to ETR OR no genotype is available (amplification failure on DNA at Week-6/Week-4 Visit and no genotype in the medical history of the patient), there are no virological failure on NNRTI in the medical history

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.
