Evaluation of Simplified Antiretroviral Treatment Strategies in HIV Infected Children Treated by Antiretroviral (ARV) Before One Year of Age
Randomized Phase 3 Trial to Evaluate Two Simplified Antiretroviral Treatment Strategies in HIV Infected Children, Treated by Antiretroviral Triple Therapy Before One Year of Age, in Virological Success in Africa (Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Rwanda)

161The MONOD trial aim to evaluate the implementation of early antiretroviral treatment strategies in HIV-infected infants and assess the feasibility and efficacy of simplifying the initial proposed regimen after a successful one year treatment. The initial treatment is AZT-3TC-LPV/r twice a day. After one year, the children will be randomized in one of the following : arm 1-reference AZT-3TC-LPV/r twice daily; arm 2-simplified ABC-3TC-EFV once daily.
The perspective of this project is to identify antiretroviral strategies to improve treatment access and adherence for children in sub-saharian Africa.
AZT sirup (10mg/ml): 4 mg/kg or 180 mg/m2 twice daily 3TC sirup (10mg/ml): 4 mg/kg twice daily LPV/r sirup (80/20 mg/ml): 12 mg/kg twice daily
ABC sirup (20mg/ml): 16 mg/kg once daily in the morning 3TC sirup (10mg/ml): 8 mg/kg once daily in the morning EFV sirup (30mg/ml): 25 mg/kg once daily in the morning before food intake
AZT-3TC-LPV/r twice a day
Inclusion Criteria for antiretroviral treatment initiation: infant follow-up in one of the trial site HIV-1 infection diagnose by RT PCR after 6 weeks of life age between 3 and 12 month at the antiretroviral treatment initiation naive of antiretrovirals except if received for the prevention of mother to child HIV transmission HB>=7 g/dl, neutrophiles>750/mm3, creatinin<3xULN, TGO and TGP<3xULN signed informed consent Exclusion Criteria for antiretroviral treatment initiation: HIV-2 infection or HIV-1/HIV-2 co-infection Known intolerance to one of the trial treatment HB<7 g/dl, neutrophiles<750/mm3, creatinin>3xULN, TGO or TGP>3xULN Inclusion Criteria for randomisation at 12 months in the simplification phase: age 24 months at most virological success define as 2 consecutive indetectable HIV RNA measured by RT PCR at least 3 months apart. Exclusion Criteria for randomisation at 12 months in the simplification phase: virological failure after the first 12 months of antiretroviral treatment
