Filter by:To determine which of 2 doses of dapsone is effective prophylaxis for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in patients with oral thrush or hairy leukoplakia and less than 400 CD4 lymphocytes per mm3. To determine whether the long-term toxicities associated with daily dapsone in this population are tolerable.
To compare the efficacy and safety of orally administered didanosine (ddI) with orally administered zidovudine (AZT) in the treatment of patients who exhibit increasing clinical deterioration despite treatment with AZT.
The objective of this treatment IND protocol is to make didanosine (ddI) available to patients with HIV infection (suffering from AIDS related complex (ARC) or AIDS) who have developed documented intolerance to zidovudine (AZT) and cannot enter a Phase II ddI program due to protocol exclusion or geographic location.
To determine the safety and patient tolerance of UVAR Photopheresis System (extracorporeal photopheresis) in the Treatment of AIDS-Related Complex (ARC).
To determine the safety profile and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of recombinant soluble human CD4 (rCD4) therapy in patients with AIDS or AIDS related complex (ARC). To obtain a preliminary indication of the antiviral effects of rCD4 in patients with AIDS and ARC. To measure steady state serum levels of rCD4 following continuous infusion therapy.
To determine the safety profile and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of recombinant soluble human CD4 (rCD4) therapy in patients with AIDS or AIDS related complex (ARC). To assess pharmacokinetic properties of rCD4 in humans. To obtain a preliminary indication of the antiviral effects of rCD4 in patients with AIDS and AIDS related complex (ARC).
To define the pharmacokinetic characteristics of Nystatin LF IV (intravenous) in human subjects with AIDS-related complex (ARC) after administration of a single IV dose at each of 4 dose levels.
Several dideoxynucleosides have now been shown to have activity against HIV but to have different toxicities. This study will involve therapy of patients with AIDS or ARC with two of these agents, AZT and 2', 3'-dideoxyinosine (ddI), which have different toxicity profiles, over a 2-year period of time. The rationale for using the two drugs will be to reduce toxicity and also possibly to delay or prevent the development of resistance. Patients will be randomized to receive either an alternating regimen or a continuous simultaneous regimen with these two drugs. The study will be structured as a randomized pilot study.
To determine the safety and usefulness of zidovudine (AZT) for the treatment of patients with early symptomatic HIV infection or early AIDS related complex (ARC). The ability of AZT to suppress HIV, to improve body defenses, and to prevent the occurrence or development of AIDS or advanced ARC is being evaluated. In one human study, patients with AIDS or advanced ARC who received AZT had fewer life-threatening infections, improved in weight and performance, and lived longer than patients who received a placebo (inactive medication). Further studies are needed because toxic effects associated with the use of AZT were noted and the long-term effectiveness and toxicity of AZT are still unknown. It is also unknown if AZT will benefit patients with less severe HIV infections such as early ARC or PGL.
To determine the effectiveness and safety of dextran sulfate (DS) as a treatment for patients with AIDS, AIDS related complex (ARC), or asymptomatic HIV infection with or without persistent generalized lymphadenopathy (PGL), and to determine antiviral activity at different doses of DS. Although zidovudine (AZT) has shown promise in prolonging life in patients with AIDS and severe ARC, it has significant blood toxicities. It would be beneficial to combine AZT with another antiviral agent that does not have the same toxicity. DS might be a suitable drug since it has shown antiviral activity against HIV in the laboratory, and in preliminary studies it has shown little toxicity. Also, the combination of DS with AZT has been shown to be more effective than either alone.
