Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety and tolerability of dual therapy with 3TC and DTG as initial therapy among naïve HIV patients
The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiretroviral activity of a single dose of ulonivirine in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive, HIV-1 infected participants. The hypothesis tested in the study is that at a safe and well-tolerated dose, ulonivirine has superior antiretroviral activity to a historical placebo control, as measured by change from baseline in plasma HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) at 168 hours postdose.
Evaluate after 48 weeks, the capacity of a weekly strategy of 4 consecutive days on treatment followed by 3 days off treatment, in HIV-1 treated patients with undetectable viral load for at least 12 months and continuous antiretroviral regimen unchanged for at least 4 months, to maintain a therapeutic success defined by the absence of virological failure (2 consecutive viral loads > 50 cp/mL) and the absence of interruption of therapeutic strategy (interruption or change of the " 4 days on / 3 days off " strategy for a time longer than 30 consecutive days).
Since people started taking HIV medications, illness from AIDS has decreased, but other serious diseases like heart disease, cancer, and kidney, and liver disease have increased. HIV causes inflammation (irritation) inside the body that cannot be felt but can be measured by blood. Inflammation can lead to diseases that have become some of the leading causes of death in people with HIV. HIV therapy can partially lower levels of inflammation measured in blood, however, levels of inflammation in people who have HIV may remain high compared with those found in people not infected with HIV. Aspirin is a drug that is commonly used for pain relief but is also approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for preventing heart attacks and stroke in those who are at increased risk for heart attack and stroke. Aspirin also is used (but is not approved by the FDA) to decrease the risk of some cancers in people who are at increased risk. Aspirin is thought to decrease risk of heart attack and stroke because it blocks the activation (turning on) of platelets (small cells in your blood that help it to clot) and prevents blood clots from clogging narrowed blood vessels, a disease called atherosclerosis. It is unknown how aspirin might decrease the chance of developing cancer in some people at higher risk, but aspirin has been shown to modulate (or change) the immune system. In HIV-infected people who have been taking antiretroviral therapy and have an undetectable HIV viral load. It has recently been shown that low-dose aspirin 81 mg (baby aspirin), given for one week, lowers platelet activation and reduces blood markers of inflammation which may improve the function of the immune system. The purpose of the study that you are being asked to participate in is to evaluate whether aspirin improves inflammation and immune activation when compared to a placebo (inactive medication like a dummy pill) and to determine if 12 weeks of aspirin 300 mg and aspirin 100 mg is safe for HIV-infected persons on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Additionally, it will study whether a higher dose and longer duration of aspirin provides further anti-inflammatory (something that prevents irritation) and immune-modulating (something that helps or improves the immune system) benefit. This will be done using blood and urine tests that measure inflammation and also with a test that uses ultrasound to measure the flow of blood in your arm, called flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) of the brachial artery (BART). This is a painless test that bounces sound waves off of a blood vessel in your arm.
Early identification of acute HCV infection is essential to prevent chronic infections and the long-term liver disease complications that may occur. Early identification and treatment of HCV during the acute phase can result in significantly higher response rates with shorter durations of therapy. Pegylated-interferon alfa (PEG-IFN) was the typical treatment for HCV infection. Participants subcutaneously inject PEG-IFN where the average duration of treatment was approximately 20 weeks. With the advancement of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), it was possible to see if a new DAA might be non-inferior compared to (PEG-IFN). The study was designed to see if a fixed-dose combination tablet can replace the old HCV treatments by being more effective, safer and better tolerated in HIV-infected participants with new HCV infection. The study was a Phase I, open-label, two cohort clinical trial, in which 44 acutely HCV-infected HIV-1 positive participants were enrolled. Participants in each cohort were evaluated in two steps: on treatment (Step 1) and follow-up after discontinuing study treatment (Step 2). The cohorts were enrolled sequentially. Participants in Cohort 1 were enrolled and administered oral Sofosbuvir (SOF) in combination with weight-based ribavirin (RBV). Participants in Cohort 2 were enrolled and administered an oral fixed dose combination of Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF).
This study will evaluate the efficacy of switching from emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) fixed dose combination (FDC) to emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (F/TAF) FDC in HIV-1 positive participants who are virologically suppressed on regimens containing FTC/TDF. This study will consist of a 96 week double-blind treatment period. After Week 96, all participants will continue on blinded study drug treatment and attend visits every 12 weeks until treatment assignments are unblinded. All participants will return for an unblinding visit and will be given the option to receive open-label F/TAF and attend visits every 12 weeks until F/TAF is commercially available, or the sponsor terminates the F/TAF clinical development program.
The bacterial diversity of HIV patients digestive microbiota seropositive is poorly understood, it remains to be defined.
The purpose of this study is to assess the evolution of raltegravir concentration in the mother (between the 3rd trimester of pregnancy and one month post-delivery) and her neonate, when this drug is used to prevent mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission as part of a combined antiretroviral regimen.
This study aimed to investigate the influence of hepatic insufficiency on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of doravirine (MK-1439). In Part 1, PK of doravirine in participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency was compared with that of healthy control subjects matched with regard to mean age and weight. If a clinically meaningful increase in exposure of doravirine was observed in participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency in Part 1, study Part 2 was to evaluate PK of doravirine in participants with mild hepatic insufficiency.
Abacavir/Lamivudine + Nevirapine (ABC/3TC + NVP) is a very effective and well tolerable regimen on the long-term. However this regimen comprises 2 pills per day. Abacavir/Lamivudine/Dolutegravir (ABC/3TC/DTG) offers simplification with a single pill per day with no food constraints, Dolutegravir (DTG) having the advantage over Nevirapine (NVP) of high potency, higher genetic barrier to resistance, with a very good safety profile. The objective of this study is to evaluate the virologic safety (maintenance of virologic suppression) after switching from ABC/3TC + NVP to ABC/3TC/DTG in 50 HIV-1 infected adults with prolonged HIV RNA suppression on ABC/3TC + NVP, as well as clinical and laboratory safety. Because nevirapine is a strong inducer of hepatic enzymes, pharmacocinetic (PK) assessment will be performed in all patients in the first weeks after switch and 24-hours PK in a subset of 10 patients after 5 days of DTG addition to current regimen, before switching to ABC/3TC/DTG.
