Filter by:Aging with HIV may be related to an earlier development of frailty (weakness) or disability, including difficulties in tests of strength or walking speed. Few treatments have been shown to prevent or slow these impairments in people with or without HIV. Some studies have suggested that the class of drugs called statins (for example, pitavastatin) might be helpful in slowing frailty or disability. This might happen by decreasing fat within the muscle or by decreasing inflammation markers (substances in the blood that determine how the body reacts to infection or irritation) in the blood. Other studies have shown that statins increase the risk of muscle aches and pains. This substudy is being done to determine the impact of the drug pitavastatin on muscle.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a 10-dose regimen of vesatolimod in HIV-1 infected controllers on antiretroviral treatment (ART) and during analytical treatment interruption (ATI) following vesatolimod dosing.
An implementation project to scale-up delivery of antiretroviral-based HIV-1 prevention methods to Kenyan HIV-1 serodiscordant couples in HIV-1 care centers. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as a bridge to antiretroviral therapy (ART) HIV-1 prevention strategy will be introduced into 24 public HIV-1 care centers in central and western Kenya according to national guidelines using a stepped wedge design, stratified by region.
The purpose of this study is to collect information about what happens when people pause, or temporarily stop taking, ART, and to collect blood samples from these people at frequent intervals. We will also study the safety of pausing ART under close observation.
The purpose of this study is to compare the impact of two combination of two tablets once daily: dolutegravir associated with emtricitabine / tenofovir versus darunavir / cobicistat associated with emtricitabine / tenofovir on DNA HIV measured in PBMC at 48 weeks in patients with primary HIV-1 infection.
The gut immune barrier is not fully restored in HIV-1-infected subjects despite they were receiving antiretroviral treatment. This leaky gut leads to microbial translocation from the gut lumen into the bloodstream that fuels deleterious systemic inflammation. The chemotaxis axes that allow T lymphocytes to migrate from the blood to the gut mucosa in order to reconstitute the mucosal immune barrier seems altered in treated HIV-1-infected subjects.This study aims at better understanding the mechanisms involved in this lack of mucosal immune restoration.
The goal of this study was to empirically test a newly developed online HIV sexual risk reduction intervention (HINTS) among a representative sample of gay and bisexual men living with HIV who meet sex partners online.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating, multiple doses of vesatolimod (formerly GS-9620) in HIV-1 infected virologically suppressed adults on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and to evaluate the virologic effect of vesatolimod as measured by changes in plasma HIV-1 RNA.
This study aims to provide information about the safety and pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions between darunavir/cobicistat (800/150mg QD) and etravirine (400mg QD) in HIV-infected patients, as well as evaluate the efficacy of concomitant administration of darunavir/cobicistat and etravirine.
Several reports indicate that treatment failure due to HIV resistance or to adverse event-related discontinuation could compromise the effectiveness of scaling-up antiretroviral treatment (ART), especially when lack of access to viral load is a concern. Combined with other nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, Dolutegravir (DTG) is a very promising alternative to the current first-line non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-based regimens. Initial evaluations of DTG conducted in high income countries showed excellent efficacy and safety and indicated high genetic barrier thus preserving second line treatment. As a consequence, DTG-based regimens have been recently included in the first-line options in the national guidelines for ART of several high-income countries. However, the clinical trials evaluating DTG-based regimens have been conducted in highly controlled conditions, including baseline resistance testing and regular viral load monitoring. Moreover, these trials included a high proportion of men with rare co-morbidities. There is need to evaluate how a DTG-based regimen will perform in real-world conditions within resources-constrained settings, where viral load monitoring is limited, and where the majority of HIV patients are women with important family planning consideration and NAMSAL trial is a randomized clinical trial which aims to evaluate efficacy and safety over 48, 96 and 192 weeks of DTG + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/lamivudine versus Efavirenz (EFV) + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/lamivudine in 606 ART-naïve HIV-1-infected adults in Cameroon. A set of efficacy and safety endpoints will be compared over 48, 96 and 192 weeks between the two arms including the proportion of patients with viral load <50 copies/mL and incidence of severe adverse events.
