Phase III trial evaluating raltegravir as an alternative to efavirenz for antiretroviral treatment of HIV-infected patients with tuberculosis.
Phase III multicenter, international, open-label, randomized trial evaluating non-inferiority of raltegravir at dose of 400mg BID compared to efavirenz 600mg QD, both in association with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and lamivudine in ART-naïve HIV-1 infected patients with active TB disease receiving a rifampin-based TB treatment initiated \<8 weeks before inclusion. Patients will be randomized between 2 arms: the raltegravir (RAL) 400 mg bid arm or the efavirenz (EFV) 600 mg qd arm, each in combination with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and lamivudine (3TC) and will be followed for 48 weeks after entry in the trial (ART initiation).

In this arm, patients will receive the following medications : * Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) 300 mg / Lamivudine (3TC) 300 mg FDC once a day (1 tablet qd) * Raltegravir (RAL) 400 mg (Isentress®): twice daily (1 tablet bid), with food In countries where TDF/3TC FDC is not available, the following separate drugs will be used: * Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) 300 mg (Viread® 245 mg): once a day (1 tablet qd) * Lamivudine (3TC) : 300 mg once a day (300 mg, 1 tablet qd or 150 mg 2 tablets qd) * Raltegravir (RAL) 400 mg (Insentress®): twice daily (1 tablet bid), with food
In this arm, patients will receive the following medications, in accordance with treatment guidelines in all countries: * Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) 300 mg / lamivudine (3TC) 300 mg FDC once a day (1 tablet qd) * Efavirenz (EFV) 600 mg: once a day, at night (1 tablet qd) OR: • Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) 245 300 mg / lamivudine (3TC) 300 mg / efavirenz (EFV) 600 mg: once a day (1 tablet qd), at night, if possible without food In countries where TDF/3TC FDC is not available, the following separate drugs will be used: * Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) 300 mg (Viread® 245 mg): once a day (1 tablet qd) * Lamivudine (3TC): 300 mg once a day (300 mg, 1 tablet qd or 150 mg 2 tablets qd) * Efavirenz (EFV) 600 mg: once a day, at night (1 tablet qd), if possible without food. The dose will not be adapted to the patient's body weight.

Proportion of patients in virologic success
Virologic success, defined as plasma HIV-1 RNA \<50 copies/mL, at week 48 with a window period of 42 to 54 weeks (snapshot algorithm). Discontinuation of the strategy (ie. permanent discontinuation of EFV, RAL), missing values, loss to follow-up and death will be considered as failure.
