Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether interactions between raltegravir and lamotrigine take place and to study the safety of the combination raltegravir/lamotrigine before used in HIV patients.
Background: Neuropsychiatric side effects (NPSEs) occur in a significant proportion of subjects after initiation of efavirenz (EFV) and may limit its use in certain patients. Objectives: To evaluate the incidence and severity of NPSEs and antiviral efficacy of EFV given as a stepped dosage over 2 weeks versus the usual dosage. Methods: Randomized, double blind, multicentric clinical trial in which a progressive dosage (arm A: 200 mg qd for 6 days, 400 mg qd for 7 days and 600 mg qd from day 14 forward) was compared with conventional administration (arm B: 600 mg qd from the first day). All patients received additional treatment with 2 NRTIs. The incidence and intensity of NPSEs and sleep disorders were assessed using a Likert-type scale specifically designed. Efficacy was assessed by percent of virological failures.
Recently, the fixed-dose combinations (FDC) KIVEXA™ (abacavir/lamivudine) and TRUVADA (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine) have facilitated the usage of once-daily regimens. However data from head-to-head randomized trials comparing these two FDCs as part of an initial regimen are not available at present. The long-term toxicity profiles of these regimens are of particular importance, as treatment of HIV is currently life-long and therefore, minimizing long-term toxicity and maximizing adherence and duration of regimen maintenance are critical therapy objectives. The primary endpoint is estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), as measured by the modified diet in renal disease (MDRD) equation, a validated estimate of renal function.
To compare the effect of high-dose valacyclovir (1 gram orally twice daily) versus standard-dose acyclovir (400 mg orally twice daily) on the frequency of genital HSV reactivation and on plasma HIV-1 levels among HSV-2/HIV-1 co-infected individuals. The investigators hypothesize that high-dose valacyclovir will result in greater reduction in plasma HIV-1 and genital HSV reactivation.
This study will compare the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral intervention versus usual clinic care in helping HIV infected adults with depression to take their HIV medications on schedule.
The proposed multi-site, longitudinal study will examine the correlation of substance use, mental health disorders, and social networks to engagement in care for HIV-infected adolescent females, aged 13 years, 0 months - 23 years, 11 months, and suggest ways to promote adherence and retention in treatment, care, and prevention programs. Qualitative and quantitative data collection methods will be used with index participants and network members.
The purpose of this study is to determine safety and immunogenicity (ability to induce an immune response) of a novel HIV vaccine based on adeno-associated virus (AAV)
This study is a cross-sectional observational study to evaluate the prevalence of HLA-B*5701 in the European area and in major European ethnotypes. Any HIV-1 infected patient will be eligible for this study including treatment naïve and experienced patients, as well as patients previously tested for HLA-B*5701. Patients will be approached during a standard clinic visit, and will be consented prior to any study specific procedure. They will be asked to provide a tissue sample (cheek cells and blood sample) which will be used to assess HLA-B*5701 status by local and central laboratories. In selected sites patients may be asked to provide an additional blood sample. This sample will be used to develop and validate different methodologies for assessing HLA-B*5701 status.
To collect safety and tolerability data in a more diverse patient population of patients with HIV/Aids, who have limited therapeutic options.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of an investigational treatment for patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
