NIAID made the decision to halt enrollment in collaboration with the study’s Executive Committee and following a recommendation received from an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). The DSMB, charged with regularly evaluating data and safety issues during the multi-year trial, conducted a review of the interim study data in early January.

SILCAAT RCC Newsletter No 2
Dear colleagues and collaborators in SILCAAT.This is the second SILCAAT Newsletter issued by the Copenhagen RCC, Copenhagen HIV Programme (CHIP). We have now finished the first round of discussions with investigators in the region on the feasibility of continuing the trial until its scientifically driven completion. These discussions have been conducted in a collaborative and collegial atmosphere. We are happy to say that it will indeed be possible to continue the trial, and similar messages are coming from other regions as well. As mentioned in the previous newsletter, the challenge will be to continue to recycle patients randomised to receive IL-2 and continue to follow closely all patients randomised for signs of clinical disease progression – the primary endpoint of the trial. Thanks to all of you who are still working hard to make this study a success.

Dear ESPRIT investigator,
On the 15th of April 2003, the ESPRIT trial reached the enrolment target of 4,000 patients making this trial the largest randomised HIV trial to date. Congratulations and thank you very much to all staff that has contributed to this remarkable achievement.
According to the decision made during the last International Steering Committee meeting randomisation will continue for 45 days after enrolment of patient No. 4,000 to ensure that patients undergoing screening will have an opportunity to participate in the trial.
