Summary

The primary objective of this study is:

To assess the virologic effect of changing enfuvirtide to MK-0518(raltegravir) in human immunodeficiency virus type 1(HIV-1) infected patients who have an undetectable level of serum human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) (\< 75 copies/ml by branch deoxyribonucleic acid (bDNA) assay, \< 50 copies/ml by Ultrasensitive Polymerase Chain Reaction(PCR) assay) on their current HIV medication regimen.

Hypothesis:

HIV-1 infected individuals well controlled on an enfuvirtide containing regimen with HIV RNA levels below limits of quantification can safely have the investigational integrase inhibitor, MK-0518 substituted for enfuvirtide without loss of virologic suppression.

Conditions

  • HIV Infections

Interventions

DRUG

raltegravir

This is a single-arm, open-label, non-randomized pilot study in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) positive patients who have an undetectable viral load on their current enfuvirtide containing medication regimen. The treatment regimen will consist of replacing enfuvirtide with MK-0518 400 mg twice a day given as part of the patient's HIV medication regimen. The study regimen will be administered for 24 weeks, with patients given the option of continuing on the study medication past that time if they wish to. Patients serve as their own control as they have viral control (HIV ribonucleic acid (RNA) below limits of quantification) for at least 6 months with enfuvirtide prior to switch to raltegravir.
