NEPALE: Evaluation of the Neurological and Psychiatric Adverse Events of Dolutegravir and Bictegravir in Real Life
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The neurological and psychiatric adverse effects of antiretroviral drugs is a concern for clinicians and people living with HIV. In addition, clinical trials conducted prior to market authorization often have stric inclusion and exclusion criteria in terms of age, co-morbidity or co-medication, and the patients included in the studies are not always representative of the population for whom the drugs will be prescribed in real life. We propose a prospective cohort study to assess the occurrence of neurological and psychiatric adverse events in HIV+ patients starting an association with dolutegravir or bictegravir.
Patients will be included on the day dolutegravir or bictegravir is prescribed. Neurological and psychiatric disorders will be assessed using self-administered questionnaires, at inclusion, one month, three months and six months.
