Safety Sudy of Atazanavir Boosted With Ritonavir in the Treatment of HIV Infection in Pediatric Patients

HIV, Pediatric Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Prospective Single Arm, Open-label, International, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety of Atazanavir (ATV) Capsule Boosted With Ritonavir (RTV) With an Optimized NRTI Background Therapy, in HIV Infected, Antiretroviral Naive and Experienced Pediatric Subjects Greater Than or Equal to 6 Years to Less Than 18 Years

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to collect safety clinical data in HIV-infected pediatric patients aged 6 and older to younger than18 years and weighing 15 kg or more, who are receiving atazanavir capsule boosted with ritonavir and an optimized nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor backbone therapy as part of their antiretroviral regimen.

Interventional studies are often prospective and are specifically tailored to evaluate direct impacts of treatment or preventive measures on disease.

Observational studies are often retrospective and are used to assess potential causation in exposure-outcome relationships and therefore influence preventive methods.

Expanded access is a means by which manufacturers make investigational new drugs available, under certain circumstances, to treat a patient(s) with a serious disease or condition who cannot participate in a controlled clinical trial.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
