An open, randomised, parallel arm phase IIa study. 52 HIV-1 infected patients will be randomised (in a 1:1 ratio) to either an active group or a control group. The active group will receive the GnRH analogue triptorelin depot monthly at baseline, week 4 and week 8. Patients in the active group and in the control group will continue their triple combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) during the study without changes; unless there is rationale for change on medical ground. In order to prevent the negative effects of a low testosterone level, patients in the active group will be offered to receive a single intramuscular depot injection of testosterone approximately 7 days after triptorelin treatment. This depot administration will keep the serum testosterone on a normal level until the next triptorelin dose. This will be repeated when triptorelin is administered at week 4 and week 8. Total study period is 24 weeks.
Atripla (ATP: FTC/TDF/EFV) was the first single pill treatment for HIV and was the most prescribed first-line treatment from approximately 2008 to 2013 for people infected with HIV. However, ATP has not been recommended as a "preferred" treatment for HIV since 2015, due to there now being single pill treatments that work better. There are a lot of people who are still taking ATP and it is working for them. However, it has the potential to cause serious side effects (chronic kidney disease and fractures and serious neurological effects). These side effects are caused by components in ATP (namely the TDF and EFV parts). Also, the efavirenz (EFV) component is not compatible for treatment of Hepatitis C (HCV) - which is often also seen in people who have HIV. For these reasons, there is a need to find a better alternative treatment for these people currently being treated with ATP.
A translational proof of concept study in humans on the primary research question whether novel anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) latency strategies, including a BAF inhibitor and a histone deacetylase inhibitor, result in HIV reservoir reduction in HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy.
The impact of chronic HIV infection and pregnancy on different aspects of the humoral response to pertussis immunization with the TDaP vaccine will be studied. The parameters will be measured in 3 groups (HIV-infected pregnant, HIV-uninfected pregnant and HIV-uninfected non pregnant) at different time points before and after immunization (7-10 days, 30 days and at delivery). The transfer ratio and the quality of maternal antibodies will be studied in cord blood.
The analysis of HIV resistance to antiretrovirals (Sanger sequencing on RNA) is difficult when the viral load is undetectable or during therapeutic breaks. In these situations, the ultra-deep sequencing (UDS) can be done on proviral DNA in order to improve characterization of archived resistant variants with may reflect past virological failures. This study is a cross-sectional study which will require only one additional tube which can be taken during a routine check-up as part of the usual follow-up of the individuals included.
To achieve global hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination by 2030, 80% of the ~71 million people with chronic HCV infection will need to be treated, necessitating simplification of treatment delivery and associated laboratory monitoring without compromising efficacy or safety. The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the need for innovative models of health care delivery that minimize face-to-face patient-provider contact. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a minimal monitoring (MINMON) strategy to deliver interferon- and RBV-free, pan-genotypic DAA therapy to treat active HCV in HCV treatment naïve participants.
Research hypothesis: Switching from dual regimens based on dolutegravir plus a RTI to a single tablet regimen of elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF), lowers the exposure to Residual Viremia (and hence the risk of viral rebound), without increasing treatment toxicity.
To explore whether gut microbiota would impact CD4 T cells recovery in HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART). We prospectively enroll patients initiate ART and collect their fecal at followup for one year.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the short-term antiviral potency of GS-9131 functional monotherapy compared to placebo-to-match (PTM) GS-9131, each administered once daily with the existing failing antiretroviral (ARV) regimen as demonstrated by the proportion of participants achieving human immunodeficiency virus ribonucleic acid (HIV-1 RNA) > 0.5 log10 decreases from baseline after up to 14 days of therapy in HIV-1 positive, ARV treatment experienced adult participants with nucleos(t)ide resistant virus. This is a two-part study. Part 1 consists of three cohorts: 2 Sentinel Cohorts and 1 Randomized Cohort. Eligible participants from Part 1 will proceed to Part 2 followed by an optional open-label extension.
