PrimaryChange in Cognitive Performance Compared to BaselineAt baseline and week 24
Th cognitive performance is measured by NPZ-8. NPZ-8 is defined as the average of age and education adjusted z-scores of eight neuropsychological tests subcomponents in the neuropsychological test battery. These eight tests are: 1. Grooved Pegboard Dominant Hand (GPD) 2. Grooved Pegboard Non-dominant hand (GPN) 3. Choice Reaction Time (CRT) 4. Sequential Reaction Time (QRT) 5. Timed Gait (TIG) 6. Trail Making Part A (TMA) 7. Trail Making Part B (TMB) 8. Symbol Digit (SYD) The primary outcome is NPZ-8 score at week24 - NPZ-8 score at baseline.
ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryChange in Global Deficit Z-Score (GDS)At baseline and week 24
GDS on the test battery is the simple average of all 14 individual deficit scores in the test battery, including Time Gait, Grooved Pegboard Test for the dominant and non-dominant hands, Trail Making Test parts A and B, Symbol Digit Test, simple and sequential reaction time - CalCAP, Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (Revised)- Learning, Delayed Recall and Recognition trials, and Stroop Color Interference Test-color, word, and interference tasks. The outcome is the 24 week change of GDS Z-score (24 week-baseline).
ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryChange in Investigator's Clinical Global Impression Score (ICGIS)At week 24
Clinicians were asked to rate their overall impression about the clinical improvement or worsening of his/her study participants. They can choose from the following 7 levels: (0) No Change, (1) Mild Improvement, (2) Moderate Improvement, (3) Marked Improvement, (4) Mild Worsening, (5) Moderate Worsening, and (6) Marked Worsening. For the analysis, we simplified the outcome into the following 3 levels: (0) worsened, (1) No Change, and (2) Improved.

SecondaryChange in Fine Motor Function Domain Z-ScoreAt baseline and week 24
The fine motor function domain score is an average of age, sex, education, and African-American ethnicity adjusted z scores of Grooved Pegboard Dominant Hand (GPD) and Grooved Pegboard Non-dominant hand (GPN). The outcome is a 24 week change of the fine motor function domain z-score (week 24-baseline).
ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryChange in Psychomotor Function Domain Z-ScoreAt baseline and week 24
The psychomotor function domain score us the average of age, sex, education, and African-American ethnicity adjusted z scores of Trail Making Part A (TMA) and Trail Making Part B (TMB). The outcome is the 24 week change of psychomotor function domain z-scores (week24-baseline).

ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryChange in Frontal Systems Function Domain Z-ScoreAt baseline and week 24

ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryChange in Karnofsky Performance ScoreAt baseline and week 24
The original Karnofsky performance score is 11 level score which ranges between 0 to 100. The score 100 means normal and 0 means death; therefore, higher score means higher ability to perform daily tasks. For the analysis, a new dichotomous variable (no change/worse vs. better at 24 weeks compared to baseline) was created.
ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryChanges in Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) Cell Counts (24 Weeks)At baseline and weeks 24The outcome was the 24 week change in CD4 cell count (week 24-baseline).ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryChanges in Cluster of Differentiation 8 (CD8) Cell Counts (24 Weeks)At baseline and week 24The outcome was the 24 week change of CD8 cell counts (week 24-baseline).ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Grade 2 or Higher Toxicity and/or Signs and SymptomsThroughout study up to week 48Grade or higher means that adverse events were moderate, severe, or life-threatening, or death. Grade 2 or higher adverse events are lised in the Adverse Event section.ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryChange of HIV Plasma RiboNucleic Acid (RNA) Viral LoadAt baseline and week 24
The original scale of HIV RNA viral load is between 30 copies/mL to infinitive. The minimum score of 30 is the lowest detectable value. The summary table categorized this continuous value to a dichotomous variable (\<30 copies/mL and \>= 30 copies/mL).
ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryChanges in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living QuestionnaireAt baseline and week 24
The Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) questionnaire is designed to learn more about how subjects are able to perform common tasks. There are 16 common tasks. For each task, if the score at the time of evaluation is worse than the best in the past, an indicator of 1 is given. Otherwise, the indicator is 0. The overall IADL score is a sum of 16 indicators divided by 16; therefore, the range is between 0 and 1 and the lower score is better. The 24-week change of IADL score was changed into a categorical variable (no change/worse vs. better) at week 24 compare to baseline.
ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryChanges in Medication Management Test (Modified)At baseline and weeks 24
The medication management test (modified) is designed to assess participants' medication management ability and their own medications and management. It's the number of how many times participants correctly answered 16 questions. The score ranges between 0 and 16, and higher score indicates better medication management.
