Filter by:To compare the safety and tolerance of oral ganciclovir at a double dose 3 times/day or a single dose 6 times/day to IV ganciclovir given for 20 weeks of maintenance therapy. To compare the time to progression of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis between two regimens of oral ganciclovir and IV ganciclovir therapy given for 20 weeks of maintenance therapy. To describe the efficacy and safety of double dose versus single dose oral ganciclovir in patients who have a progression of retinitis while on the originally assigned maintenance treatment. To describe the safety, tolerance, and time to progression of retinitis during the 52 weeks of oral ganciclovir maintenance therapy in people with AIDS. To describe the safety and tolerance of oral ganciclovir maintenance therapy when given concurrently with antiretroviral treatment (e.g., zidovudine, ddI, or ddC). To describe survival of people with AIDS and CMV retinitis.
The purpose of this study is to see if valganciclovir is a safe treatment for CMV retinitis in patients who have been treated for this condition in the past. This study also examines the effectiveness of valganciclovir in preventing the recurrence of CMV retinitis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of two dosage schedules for ISIS 2922 in the treatment of advanced cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis
The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give Viracept to AIDS patients who are already being treated for cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis.
To determine the clinically safe and effective dose of intravitreal ISIS 2922 alone and as an additive antiviral therapy to ganciclovir in AIDS patients with cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis.
To evaluate the safety and tolerance of cidofovir (HPMPC) infusions in AIDS patients with relapsing cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis. To determine the time to retinitis progression in this patient population. To evaluate the impact of cidofovir therapy on visual acuity.
To provide oral ganciclovir to patients who require maintenance for control of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, but who lack patent permanent central venous access for long-term administration of intravenous drugs.
To demonstrate the efficacy of oral ganciclovir in preventing new cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in AIDS patients with unilateral CMV retinitis treated with an intravitreal ganciclovir implant. To compare safety and tolerance, time to progression, quality of life, and survival among patients treated with an intravitreal ganciclovir implant, with and without oral ganciclovir, versus standard intravenous (IV) ganciclovir therapy.
To assess the relative efficacy of oral versus intravenous hydration during foscarnet sodium (Foscavir) induction therapy, as determined by changes in creatinine clearance. To estimate the timing and volume of oral fluid hydration required to establish a diuresis before and during intravenous Foscavir therapy. To assess the general tolerance of two hydration regimens by the adverse event profile associated with each.
To determine whether co-administration of sargramostim (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; GM-CSF) improves tolerance to ganciclovir in patients previously intolerant because of neutropenia defined as an absolute neutrophil count less than 500 cells/mm3. To assess if improved tolerance of ganciclovir is associated with a favorable outcome as defined by a delayed time to progression of retinitis; to confirm the safety and co-administration of ganciclovir and GM-CSF; to assess the changes in the expression of HIV p24 antigen in the serum and number of T4+ lymphocytes in the blood of patients receiving ganciclovir with or without GM-CSF.
