A Phase I Study of Intra-anally Administered Lopinavir/Ritonavir in People Living With HIV (PLWH) With High-Grade Anal Intraepithelial Neoplasia (AIN 2/3)
University of Wisconsin, Madison
Summary
This study is being done to assess the safety of lopinavir/ritonavir in patients with PLWH with AIN. 30 participants will be recruited and can expect to be on active study for approximately 3 months and long term follow up for 40 weeks.
Description
This is a Phase I modified 3 + 3 design, in which the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will be identified. The 3 + 3 dose escalation will consist of 6 dose levels (18 participants; planned escalation described in arms below) in combination with variation in dosing schedules of the drug lopinavir/ritonavir. This design also allows for some possible intermediate doses to be examined if dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occur and de-escalation is needed. An expansion cohort of 12 participants will occur at the MTD. Once the MTD is determined, then secondary outcomes will be evaluated. Primary Objecti…
