Vorapaxar for HIV-associated inflammation and coagulopathy (ADVICE): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
    The lancet. HIV, 2018, Volume: 5, Issue:10

    Increased D-dimer concentrations are associated with poor cardiovascular and other clinical outcomes in people with treated HIV infection. Proteinase activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) is activated by thrombin and overexpressed by immune cells from HIV-infected people. We aimed to study the efficacy of vorapaxar, a licensed inhibitor of PAR-1, in reducing HIV-associated hypercoagulation and inflammation.. This was a multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial done in seven hospital clinics in Australia and the USA. Eligible participants were HIV-infected, aviraemic, were receiving stable antiretroviral therapy, and had D-dimer concentrations greater than 200 ng/mL. We randomly assigned participants (1:1) using computer-generated block lists of size two to receive vorapaxar (2ยท5 mg orally daily) or matched placebo for 12 weeks. Participants were reviewed and had a blood sample taken at weeks 1, 4, 8, and 12 during treatment, and at a final visit at week 18. The primary endpoint was treatment group difference in changes from baseline D-dimer concentrations after 8-12 weeks of treatment, and was assessed in the modified intention-to-treat population (participants who had at least one dose of study drug or one follow-up visit). This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02394730, and is closed to new participants.. Vorapaxar had no effect on D-dimer concentrations in HIV-infected patients receiving stable antiretroviral therapy but at risk of poor outcomes. Alternative approaches are needed to reduce hypercoagulation, inflammation, and adverse long-term outcomes in patients with treated HIV infection..
