Clinical Trial Summary

Treatment of HIV with antiretroviral regimens that include protease inhibitors (PIs) frequently results in the suppression of HIV viral load, significant immune recovery, and delayed disease progression. However, treatment with PIs has been associated with significant increases in cholesterol and triglycerides in HIV infected adults and children. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of escalating doses of atorvastatin, a FDA-approved drug which lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels, in HIV infected children receiving antiretroviral regimens containing at least one PI.


Description:

Antiretroviral regimens containing PIs often cause hyperlipidemia, which is an increase in the amount of fat (such as cholesterol and triglycerides) in the blood. These increases can lead to heart disease and pancreatitis. Although the mechanism by which PIs cause hyperlipidemia is not clearly understood, there are medications to combat this side effect. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of escalating doses of atorvastatin, based on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, in HIV-infected children receiving antiretroviral regimens containing at least one PI.

This study will last no longer than 48 weeks. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups according to age. One group will include participants from ages 10 to 14 years with participants from ages 15 to 18 years in the other. The first six participants enrolled in the study will be from the 15 to 18 year old age group. Once safety data through Week 8 on these 6 participants has been analyzed, the remaining participants will be enrolled. All participants will receive atorvastatin in combination with a stable antiretroviral regimen including at least one PI. Each participant will be followed independently according to a dose escalation algorithm for atorvastatin. Participants will begin dosing at 10 mg daily. If efficacy criteria are not met, dosing will increase to no more than 20 mg daily. Atorvastatin will be provided by the study, but antiretrovirals will not.

This study will consist of seven study visits after screening. Visits will occur at study entry and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 48. A physical exam, medical history, and adherence questionnaire will occur at all study visits. Blood collection will occur at most visits. Urine collection will occur at some visits.
