Study information

Primary study designInterventional
Study designMulticentre, randomised, active controlled, parallel group trial
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific titleA randomised controlled trial in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients comparing the efficacy of lopinavir/ritonavir monotherapy versus conventional triple therapy
Study acronymMAIMOKA
Study objectivesNot provided at time of registration
Ethics approval(s)Received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)
InterventionExperimental arm:
96 weeks of lopinavir/ritonavir; the normal dose of lopinavir/ritonavir 400/100 mg twice daily (BID) will be increased if necessary, depending on trough lopinavir plasma level.

Control arm:
96 weeks of continuation of pre-inclusion triple therapy (HAART).
Intervention typeDrug
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Lopinavir/ritonavir,
Primary outcome measure(s)

Therapy failure, defined as having a viral load of higher than 400 copies per ml on two consecutive moments in time separated by at least four weeks.

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

Genotypic resistance of the virus in multiple compartments (plasma, semen, cerebrospinal fluid [CSF]).

Completion date01/10/2008
