Filter by:Chronic pulmonary disease (CLD) is the most common manifestation of HIV/AIDS among children, accounting for more than 50% of HIV-associated mortality. Recently, a novel form of CLD, affecting more than 30% of African HIV-infected older children was described by Ferrand et al in Zimbabwe, high-resolution CT scanning findings showed predominantly small airways disease consistent with constrictive obliterative bronchiolitis (OB). . Azithromycin has anti-inflammatory activity and treatment of CLD with this agent may lead to suppression of generalized immune activation. This specific aims of this project are to: 1. Primary objective: To investigate whether adjuvant treatment with azithromycin results in improvement in lung function in HIV-infected children with chronic lung disease, who are stable on antiretroviral therapy. 2. Secondary objectives: 1. To investigate the intervention effect on mortality, exacerbations of lung disease, quality of life, morbidity. 2. To investigate adverse events related to azithromycin treatment In total, 400 children aged 6-16 years, living with HIV and diagnosed with CLD will be enrolled at Harare Children´s Hospital in Harare (Zimbabwe) and Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre (Malawi). These will receive weekly treatment with azithromycin or placebo during 12 months. Another 100 children (50 per site) living with HIV but with no CLD will be enrolled as a comparison group for laboratory sub-studies. Lung function will be assess using spirometry and the Forced expiratory volume in the first minute (FEV1) will be the primary outcome. The mean change in FEV1 z-score levels will be compared between trial arms after 12 months of initiation of azithromycin treatment.
This research trial studies health-related symptom questionnaires in measuring quality of life in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected participants treated with or monitored for anal lesions. Collecting information and symptoms from patients diagnosed with anal lesions may help reduce the risk of anal cancer.
The mai purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and to establish the recommended dose of iHIVARNA-01 as a new therapeutic vaccine against HIV
The purpose of this study is to test a new way to take a questionnaire that asks about adherence (whether the person is taking the medicine correctly). This new questionnaire is called Interactive Questionnaire System (iQS). In this study, the iQS will be tested on HIV-negative young men who have sex with men (YMSM) who are taking PrEP as part of another study, either ATN 110 or ATN 113.
Retrospective analysis of HIV-1 positive patients treated with antiretroviral therapy in Essen (Germany) from 2004 on. Stored samples from selected patients (n=50) obtained for routine diagnostics will be used to analyze the gag gene, the V3-region of the env gene and immune cells.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of nivolumab when given with ipilimumab in treating patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) associated classical Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory), or solid tumors that have spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Ipilimumab is an antibody that acts against a molecule called cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4). CTLA-4 controls a part of the immune system by shutting it down. Nivolumab is a type of antibody that is specific for human programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), a protein that is responsible for destruction of immune cells. Giving ipilimumab with nivolumab may work better in treating patients with HIV associated classical Hodgkin lymphoma or solid tumors compared to ipilimumab with nivolumab alone.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy (sustained virological response 12 weeks after end-of-treatment [SVR12]) of 12-week course of an interferon-free regimen combining sofosbuvir and weight-dosed ribavirin (genotype 2), or sofosbuvir and ledipasvir (genotype 1 or 4) in treatment-naïve patients infected with HCV genotype 1, 2 or 4 in West and Central Africa Secondary Objectives: 1. To estimate the study treatment SVR24 rate 2. To evaluate the clinical and biological tolerance of study treatment 3. To describe HCV kinetics under HCV treatment, and identify associated factors 4. To describe the evolution of HIV disease under HCV treatment in HVC-HIV co-infected patients 5. To describe the changes of liver fibrosis based on non-invasive tests between treatment initiation, week 24, and week 36 after treatment, and estimate its association with SVR12 or SVR24 6. To identify factors associated with SVR12 and SVR24 (including HIV status) 7. To evaluate the performance of a nanodevice for rapid diagnosis of HCV viral load and genotypying and for assessing response to treatment (SVR12 and SVR24) 8. Facilitate the detection and treatment of those infected with HCV by supporting national initiatives for access to strategies without interferon 9. To set up a HCV clinical research network across French and English-speaking African countries, able to run large-scale comparative randomized clinical trials in a near future.
The HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN) is doing a study to test a new HIV vaccine combination. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. 252 people are taking part in this study at multiple sites. The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) is paying for the study. The investigators are doing this study to answer several questions. - Are the study vaccines safe to give to people? - Are people able to take the study vaccines without becoming too uncomfortable? - How do people's immune systems respond to the study vaccines? (Your immune system protects you from disease.)
Phase II trial assessing the efficacy of a reduced dose strategy of darunavir to 400 mg/d in HIV-1 infected patients virologically suppressed under a once daily regimen including darunavir 800 mg/d and two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), to maintain the viral load lower than 50 copies / mL at 48 weeks of treatment.
A two-arm, Phase 2/3 multicentre, open-label, randomised study evaluating safety and antiviral effect of current standard antiretroviral therapy compared to once daily integrase inhibitor administered with darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r) in HIV-1 infected, virologically suppressed paediatric participants.
