CTN 293: REPRIEVE trial
Randomized Trial to Prevent Vascular Events in HIV
About the Study
REPRIEVE is the first large-scale randomized clinical research trial to test a strategy for heart disease prevention among people living with HIV. Specifically, REPRIEVE will test whether a daily dose of a statin (pitavastatin) reduces the risk of heart disease among people living with HIV.
The REPRIEVE trial will include 7,500 participants and will be conducted at approximately 100 clinical research sites, in the United States and abroad over a span of six years. In Canada, the REPRIEVE trial is aiming to recruit 550 participants from at least 7 sites.
Background
AIDS-related complications and deaths are declining, while heart disease among people living with HIV is emerging as a major public health concern. This is happening despite effective treatment for HIV. People living with HIV are 50 to 100% more likely to develop cardiovascular disease ” this includes heart attack and stroke ” compared with people who do not have HIV. Increased chronic inflammation related to HIV may be contributing to the increased risk of heart disease.

Study Approach
In people without HIV, statin medications reduce cholesterol and prevent heart disease. In smaller studies among people with HIV, statins have also been shown to decrease inflammation; we need to confirm these findings among people living with HIV.
Participants in REPRIEVE will be randomized to receive pitavastatin or a placebo pill. Pitavastatin is a statin that is approved by the US based Federal Drug Authority (FDA) and approved for use as an investigational drug in Canada. Based on current information, pitavastatin is considered safe for use with all prescribed antiretroviral therapy regimens.
