Filter by:Background: - VRC01 is a manmade antibody directed against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Antibodies fight infection. Researchers eventually want to know if VRC01 helps prevent or treat HIV infection. In this study they want to know if the study drug is safe if taken in a vein or under the skin. Taking VRC01 in this study will not protect against HIV infection. Objectives: - To see if VRC01 and placebo are safe and well tolerated. Eligibility: - Healthy adults 18 to 50 years old. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and lab tests. - Participants will be randomly divided into 4 groups. VRC01 or the placebo will be given in weeks 1 and 4. Blood samples will be taken several times after each VRC01 or placebo dose. - Three groups will receive VRC01 by needle into a vein with an IV pump. It will take about 1 hour and it is done in the hospital. - One group will receive either VRC01 or the placebo by needle into the fatty tissue under the skin, usually the belly. It will take up to 20 minutes and it is done in the hospital. - Participants will stay in the hospital overnight after receiving the medication and have about 14 clinic visits over 4 months. Most clinic visits last about 2 hours. - Participants will keep a symptom diary after receiving the medicatino. - Participants can volunteer to have mouth, rectal, and genital samples taken throughout the study. - The study will last 8 months.
Cross-over 28 week study of the plasma pharmacokinetic profiles of twice daily 3TC (4mg/kg/dose BD) with once daily 3TC (8mg/kg/dose OD) and twice daily ABC (8mg/kg/dose BD) with daily ABC (16mg/kg/dose OD) where one or both drugs are being taken as part of combination antiretroviral therapy.
To compare the plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of q24h versus q12h dosing of abacavir in HIV-1-infected infants and children aged 3 months to 36 months The secondary objectives of PENTA15 were: To compare the plasma PK parameters of q24h versus q12h dosing of lamivudine in HIV-1-infected infants and children aged 3 months to 36 months who were receiving lamivudine in combination with abacavir To compare age-related differences in the PK parameters of q24h versus q12h dosing of abacavir and lamivudine infants and children in 3 age groups (≥3 to <12 months, ≥12 to <24 months and ≥24 to <36 months) To describe child and family acceptability of and adherence to q24h compared to q12h dosage regimens of abacavir and lamivudine
This protocol explores the feasibility and acceptability of using two daily diary methods to analyze state-dependent variables and psychosocial health outcomes in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-positive young men who have sex with men (YMSM). The study will explore the potential of diaries for use in feedback-based interventions.
Short title : X-linked biological response to HIV sensing: the ANRS EP 53 study. Main outcome : To demonstrate that HIV-infected women carry the TLR7 c.32A>T SNP at a higher frequency than uninfected women, arguing in favor of a role of impaired production of IFN-alpha by pDCs in the risk of becoming infected by HIV-1. Secondary outcome : To directly demonstrate at a single cell level that the TLR7 c.32A>T SNP is responsible for a reduce production of IFN-alpha by pDCs after activation of TLR7 by HIV-1 RNA. Short abstract (public dissemination) : Male and female display some differences in how their immune system responds to pathogens. This could be related to hormonal or genetic factors located on the X chromosome. This project aims at characterizing X-linked factors that can influence the innate immune response to HIV-1.
This pilot research trial studies factors affecting patient participation in Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Malignancy Clinical Trials Consortium clinical trials. Determining how patients makes decisions about participating in a clinical trial may help doctors plan clinical trials in which more patients are willing to participate and are satisfied with their decision to participate.
This clinical trial studies anal human papillomavirus (HPV) tests in screening for cell changes in the anus in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Screening tests may help doctors find cancer cells early and plan better treatment for anal cancer. Completing multiple screening tests may help find the best method for detecting cell changes in the anus.
This study is a double-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the efficacy of zinc supplementation vs. placebo among 250 HIV-infected Russians from the Russia ARCH Cohort, who are ART-naive at enrollment and have a recent history of heavy drinking.
Set-up of a biobank for patients with an estimated date of infection seroconverters: store plasma and cells samples at initial contact and during follow-up for future analysis and analysis in international collaborative cohort seroconverters.
Multicenter, randomized, superiority trial to evaluate efficacy of a mono or bi-therapy of protease inhibitors with or without lamivudine over a period of 96 weeks. The primary outcome will be the failure rate at 96 weeks. This study will include 260 participants, former participants of the 2LADY trial. It will be carried out in Yaoundé, Bobo Dioulasso and Dakar.
