Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CCR5 antagonist GW873140 or placebo in combination with an optimized background regimen in treatment-experienced HIV-infected subjects with R5/X4-tropic virus
HIV-specific immune responses are preserved in patients treated early during primary infection.The trial evaluated whether the addition to HAART of IL-2 alone or combined with an immunization procedure might enhance HIV immune responses and improve viral control after HAART discontinuation
The University of Washington has received funding to conduct a proof-of-concept trial to assess the impact of suppression of genital herpes on HIV infectiousness. This study (the Partners in Prevention Study) will enroll HIV discordant heterosexual couples in which the HIV-infected partner is co-infected with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) to test the efficacy of twice daily (bid) acyclovir (400 mg) given to the HIV-infected partner to prevent transmission to his/her HIV negative partner(s). This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled proof-of-concept trial will provide evidence for the efficacy of HSV-2 suppression with daily acyclovir on HIV transmission among HIV-discordant couples among whom the HIV-positive partner is also HSV-2 seropositive with CD4 >250. The researchers hypothesis is that, by decreasing the frequency and amount of genital HIV shedding, standard doses of daily acyclovir 400 mg bid will reduce the rate of HIV transmission by 50% in HIV-discordant couples among whom the HIV-infected partner is HSV-2 positive. Under the study protocol version 4.1.1, 3000 HIV-discordant heterosexual couples in which the HIV-positive partner is HSV-2 positive and has a CD4 count >250 will be recruited; participants will be followed for up to 2 years. A 4% per year HIV incidence in the placebo arm is assumed. The first study site began enrolling participants on 17 November 2005. As of September 2006, 14 sites in Eastern and Southern Africa had participated in recruiting the 2300 HIV-discordant couples enrolled to date.
The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of 3 different treatment regimens in reducing or clearing the Hepatitis B Virus in patients infected with HIV and Hepatitis B (co-infection)
Immunogenicity is reduced in immunocompromised patients. The aim of this prospective randomized study is to evaluate tolerance and immunogenicity of 2 doses versus 3 doses of anti-HAV vaccine in HIV-1 infected patients with CD4 count between 200 and 500 per mm3, co-infected or not with HBV and/or HCV. The factors influencing vaccine immunogenicity will be evaluate.
The objective of the study is to compare two doses of MVA-nef vs. MVA-BN to induce Nef-specific cellular immune response in HIV-1 infected patients
This is a research study to evaluate the safety of a vaccine to protect people from HIV infection. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the cause of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). AIDS is one of the most serious viral infections of our time. It is believed that all persons who contract HIV will eventually develop AIDS. Because of this, we are trying to develop new ways to prevent infection with HIV. The vaccine that will be tested in this study has been prepared from a small part of the HIV. The part of the HIV used in this vaccine is the "envelope" or coating part of the virus. In this study, researchers will evaluate how well the vaccine is tolerated, how much vaccine should be given, and determine if any side effects occur in response to the vaccination.
The study is designed to evaluate interferon responses to CMV in HIV positive individuals and a component will look at interferon responses to CMV in HIV positive individuals over time after commencement of antiretroviral therapy. We will also look at the correlation between CD4 T cell numbers and HLA type with the interferon response.
This study is being conducted to assess the safety and tolerability of an oral liquid solution of Sustiva for antiretroviral therapy-naive or therapy-experienced HIV-1 infected children between the ages 3-16 who are failing or intolerant of current antiretroviral regimen and who are unable to swallow Sustiva capsules.
