HIV Clinical Trial
— THIRSTOfficial title:
A Pilot Study Of Open-Label Fixed Dose Combination Zidovudine/Lamivudine/Abacavir In HIV-Infected Persons With Tuberculosis In Moshi, Tanzania; Tuberculosis And HIV Immune Reconstitution Syndrome Trial (THIRST)
The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to assess the feasibility and safety of fixed dose combination zidovudine/lamivudine/abacavir in HIV infected subjects with tuberculosis in a resource-limited setting, and (2) to assess the impact of delayed versus early initiation strategies for fixed dose combination zidovudine/lamivudine/abacavir on the rate of tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndromes.

Exclusion Criteria: - Serious illness, other than tuberculosis, that requires systematic treatment and/or hospitalization, until either completion of therapy or clinical stability on therapy in the opinion of the investigator for at least 14 days prior to study entry. Oral and vaginal candidiasis, mucocutaneous herpes simples, and other illnesses which are minor in the opinion of the site investigator are exceptions - Diagnosis of or suspicion of tuberculosis of the central nervous system. - > 14 days of antituberculous therapy prior to screening. - > 28 days of antituberculous therapy for active tuberculosis within the 6 months prior to screening. - Recent past (within 28 days of study entry) or planned use of corticosteroids. - Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the subject's ability to participate in the study. - Radiation or systemic chemotherapy within 45 days of entry. - Any immunomodulator, HIV vaccine, or other investigational therapy within 30 days prior to study entry. - Active drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements. - Allergy/sensitivity to any study drugs or their formulations. |

Primary | Number of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) | Feasibility and safety of fixed dose combination zidovudine/lamivudine/abacavir in HIV-infected subjects with tuberculosis in a resource-limited setting as assessed by the number of serious adverse events. Serious adverse events included any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in death, was considered life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization beyond what was required in the study, or resulted in persistent or resulted in significant disability/incapacity. | 104 weeks | Yes |
Primary | Tuberculosis-immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome Events | Tuberculosis-immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome was defined by the protocol as: a) new persistent fevers (temperature >101.5 degrees Fahrenheit) developing after the initiation of antiretroviral therapy, and not believed to be associated with antiretroviral therapy and without an identifiable source, b) marked worsening or emergence of intrathoracic lymphadenopathy, pulmonary infiltrates or pleural effusions on radiologic examination, or c) worsening or emergence of lymphadenopathy on serial examinations or worsening of other tuberculous lesions. | 104 weeks | Yes |
Secondary | Plasma HIV Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Level < 400 Copies/ml | The number of subjects with plasma HIV RNA level <400 copies/ml. | 104 Weeks | No |
Secondary | HIV RNA Level < 50 Copies/ml | The number of subjects with plasma HIV RNA level <50 copies/ml. | 104 Weeks | No |
