This is a study of HCV treatment using the standard regimen of pegylated-interferon plus ribavirin in HIV co-infected patients participating in the PHPT cohort study. The treatment will be implemented in conjunction with gastro-enterologists/hepatologists by internists responsible for the participant's HIV treatment. Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is responsible for several severe and life threatening complications, which are worsened by HIV co-infection. HIV-HCV co-infected patients are at a higher risk of death compared to HIV mono-infected individuals, even if HIV replication is suppressed on antiretroviral treatment. The goal of HCV antiviral treatment is to cure HCV infection. Curing HCV infection allows fibrosis regression, improved clinical outcomes. In addition, individuals who have been cured are no longer contagious to other individuals, therefore widespread access to HCV treatment may contribute to the control of the HCV epidemic. A combination of injectable pegylated-interferon with oral ribavirin is currently the recommended regimen for the treatment of hepatitis C in the setting of HIV co-infection. They are administered for 24 weeks in HCV mono-infected patients but need to be administered for one year in HIV-HCV co-infected patients. Newer drugs, such as the first generation HCV protease inhibitors (boceprevir, telaprevir), administered concomitantly, are used in patients who have not been cured using peg-interferon + ribavirin, and may allow for shorter treatment. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE 1. To determine the percentage of patients according to genotypes with sustained virological response 6 months after treatment discontinuation (SVR). HCV TREATMENT - Peg-interferon alpha 2-b (a subcutaneous injection of 1.5 micrograms/kg once a week) - Ribavirin dosing according to HCV genotype and body weight; dose adjustment in case of anemia. A total of 60 patients could be enrolled in the study: 15 HCV-HIV co-infected patients in a first part (starting in August 2014) and 45 patients in a second part, depending on funding.
This study is a phase III, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group comparative study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Z-100 with primary uterine cervical cancer on radiotherapy. The study will use a central randomization with a dynamic allocation using biased coin minimization.
Background: Postoperative hypothermia may result in relevant complications such as adverse cardiovascular events, wound infection, and coagulopathy with consecutive blood loss. Patients with open cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass are particular at risk for hypothermia. The study of Karalapillai and coworkers, analyzing a huge database incl. 43,158 patients with CPB, revealed 66% of them experiencing postoperative hypothermia during the first 24 hours and 0.3% longer than that. During cardiac surgery great parts of body surface including wound surface are exposed. Many of these patients receive large amounts of infusions and transfusions, and undergo hemodilution during CPB, which may additionally contribute to development of hypothermia. Objective of the planned study is to find out incidence and duration of postoperative hypothermia and also risk factors for hypothermia in cardiac patients. Further objective is the incidence of postoperative complications and its relation to postoperative core temperature. Methods: A retrospective chart review 780 patients who had been underwent cardiac surgery with CPB Included are patients ≥ 18 years old. Excluded are patients with preoperative hyperthermia (> 37.8 °C) and hypothermia (> 36 °C). The following parameters will be recorded: temperature is measured at ICU after arrived and after 6 hours which is primary outcome, biometric data include age, sex, body weight, height, ASA physical status, surgical procedure includes emergency cases, anesthetic and surgical (bypass-) times, infusion/transfusion-regimen, blood loss and urine output, coolest temperature during bypass, method of temperature protection, and the outcome of operation . All data will be described in number and percent and Pearson chi-square method will be used for analyze correlation between hypothermia and risk factor . P-value <0.05 will be defined to significant.
A clinical study to compare the clinical efficacy of vaginal tablets containing 10mg dequalinium chloride (Fluomizin) with the clinical efficacy of 100mg clotrimazole in patients suffering from vulvovaginal candidiasis, to assess safety of the two medications during the treatment, and to evaluate women's satisfaction with the two treatments.
This trial will enroll approximately 6,000 patients with recent embolic stroke of unknown source (ESUS). Patients will be randomized to dabigatran or acetylsalicyclic acid (ASA) (1:1 ratio) and have visits every three months. The study doctor may prescribe blinded concomitant ASA for pts with coronary artery disease but this is not mandatory. All Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), outcome events will be recorded. The trial will conclude when the required number of stroke events are positively adjudicated which is estimated to take 3 years (including 2.5 years of enrollment).
Hypothesis 1. Prediabetes patients who have insufficient sleep will have worse glucose tolerance than those with normal sleep duration. 2. Prediabetes patients with short sleep will have a delayed or reduced GLP-1 response to a standardized meal
This study aim to compare immunogenicity of the inactivated H5 influenza vaccine single dose between subjects previously vaccinated with LAIV H5N2 and naïve subjects
For treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1(HIV-1), publicly funded programmes tend to follow World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines to use a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) combined with two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) for first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART); however, there is a need for further data on the best treatment options for people with HIV-1 who have virological failure with this first-line regimen. The number of patients failing on their first-line regimen is increasing thereby requiring a switch to second-line treatment to reduce accumulation of drug-resistance mutations, disease progression, HIV transmission, and death. WHO guidelines recommend second-line antiretroviral therapy for adults consisting of two NRTIs + a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (PI); atazanavir (ATV) plus ritonavir (RTV) or lopinavir (LPV)/RTV are the preferred boosted PI options. This study is conducted to demonstrate non-inferior antiviral activity at 48 weeks of a dolutegravir (DTG) containing regimen compared to a WHO-recommended standard of care regimen for second line treatment, LPV/RTV + two NRTIs, in HIV-1 infected patients failing first line therapy. This study comprises of a Screening Phase (approximately 28 to 42 days), a Randomized Phase (Day 1 to Week 48 plus a 4-week treatment extension), and a Continuation Phase. Approximately 612 subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive DTG 50 milligram (mg) once daily or LPV/RTV (800/200 mg once daily or 400/100 mg twice daily, in accordance with investigator decision and local label), each added to an investigator selected background regimen of two NRTIs at least one of which needs to be fully active based on viral resistance testing at Screening. Subjects randomized to the LPV/RTV arm will either (i) continue receiving LPV/RTV and complete the study after the 4-week treatment extension at Week 52, or (ii) switch to the DTG arm prior to study completion at Week 52 and continue to have access to DTG in the Continuation Phase. Subjects randomized to receive DTG who successfully complete 52 weeks of treatment and subjects originally randomized to receive LPV/RTV but switched to DTG prior to Week 52 will continue to have access to DTG until it is either locally approved and commercial supplies are available to patients or the patient no longer derives clinical benefit, or the patient meets a protocol-defined reason for discontinuation.
The purpose of this study was to collect safety and tolerability data on LCZ696 in eligible PARADIGM-HF patients who received open-label investigational drug. The parent PARADIGM-HF (NCT01035255) trial was terminated early due to compelling efficacy of LCZ696 in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) after the final pre-specified interim analysis in March 2014.
