Filter by:The hypothesis tested in this study is that doravirine (MK-1439) at the final dose selected is superior to efavirenz, each given in combination with TRUVADA®, as measured by the percentage of participants with CNS events by Week 8. If superiority is established at Week 8, the same hypothesis will be tested for Week 24.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether an intervention that involves the medication naltrexone, will reduce drinking and improve health outcomes in women with HIV infection and hazardous drinking. Our central hypotheses are that, compared to women who receive placebo (sugar pill containing no medicine), women who receive naltrexone will have decreased rates of hazardous drinking, improved HIV medication adherence, less rapid disease progression, and reduced sexual risk behavior. The study design will involve 240 HIV-infected women with hazardous drinking, who will be recruited from HIV clinics, neighborhoods and referrals in Miami, Florida. Eligible women will receive either a daily pill containing naltrexone (50mg) or an identical-appearing placebo for four months. All participants will receive encouragement and feedback related to their drinking regardless of medication assignment. The study participants will be assessed at two, four and seven months after enrollment. The proposed work is innovative because pharmacologic treatment for alcohol has not been evaluated in HIV-infected women. If our hypotheses are confirmed, the study findings would transform the approach to hazardous drinking within clinics serving HIV-infected women.
Dolutegravir (DTG, GSK1349572) is a next-generation integrase inhibitor (INI) currently in phase 3 clinical trials for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) have greatly simplified the treatment of patients with HIV. While Atripla (an FDC of tenofovir (TDF), emtricitabine (FTC) and efavirenz (EFV)) has become the preferred first line regimen due in large part to its convenient presentation as a full treatment regimen in a single product, other options are needed. A fixed-dose combination of DTG/abacavir (ABC)/lamivudine (3TC) is one such opportunity. Part A of this study will be a single-dose, two-treatment crossover pivotal bioequivalence (BE) evaluation of the DTG/ABC/3TC FDC tablet in 66 healthy subjects. The reference formulations in this trial will be the 50 mg DTG tablet that is currently being used in the Phase 3 clinical trials and the already marketed FDC tablet product EPZICOM™ (ABC 600 mg/3TC 300 mg).It is intended that the results of this pivotal bioequivalence study will show that the proposed commercial DTG/ABC/3TC FDC tablet formulation is bioequivalent to DTG plus EPZICOM administered as separate tablets. Part B of this study will evaluate the effect of a high fat meal on the FDC tablet in 12 healthy subjects that have already participated in Part A of the study. There will be a screening visit within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug and a follow up visit within 7-14 days after the last dose. There will be a 7 day washout between doses in each treatment period. The following PK parameters for DTG, ABC and 3TC will be measured: area under the concentration curve from time zero (pre-dose) extrapolated to infinite time (AUC(0-infinity)), Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC (0-t)), maximum observed concentration (Cmax), lag time before observation of drug concentrations (tlag), time of occurrence of Cmax (tmax), terminal phase half-life (t½), terminal elimination phase rate constant (λz), percentage of AUC obtained by extrapolation (%AUCex),apparent clearance following oral dosing (CL/F) and apparent terminal phase volume
This study will evaluate: (1) the effect of co-administration of single doses of calcium carbonate antacid and magnesium/aluminum hydroxide antacid on the steady-state plasma pharmacokinetic profile of raltegravir in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected participants; and (2) the effect of staggered dosing of a single dose of a magnesium/aluminum hydroxide antacid 2 hours before and 2 hours after administration of raltegravir on the steady-state plasma pharmacokinetic profile of raltegravir in the same participants. The study will determine whether (1) the C12hrs of steady-state raltegravir after co-administration of single doses of calcium carbonate antacid is decreased to a clinically meaningful degree compared with C12hrs after administration of raltegravir alone; and whether (2) the C12hrs of steady-state raltegravir after co-administration of a single dose of magnesium/aluminum hydroxide antacid is decreased to a clinically meaningful degree compared with the C12hrs after administration of raltegravir alone.
The investigators believe that disclosure of HIV status could influence medication adherence. If disclosure leads to social support, adherence could be improved. This study purpose is to assess correlation between disclosure and medication adherence, and to describe people whose HIV status has been disclosed to.
HIV-infected pregnant women who begin taking antiretroviral (ARV) medications in the late stages of pregnancy need an effective medication regimen to reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to their children. This study examined the virologic response, safety, and tolerability of two different ARV medication regimens in HIV-infected pregnant women who were between 20 and 36 weeks pregnant when they entered the study.
The purpose of this trial is to determine if exposure to ARV-containing investigational products in IPM clinical trials will impact the natural history of HIV infection as measured by the virologic, immunologic and clinical outcomes of participants who become HIV-positive during the IPM 027 trial.
This is a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety and efficacy of a silicone elastomer vaginal matrix ring.
In optimally managed HIV+ women with undetectable viral loads, who are on HAART and also receiving intrapartum IV ZDV, the risk of vertical transmission of HIV is independent of the length of time of rupture of membranes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate tolerability of darunavir (PREZISTA) or etravirine (INTELENCE) in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) who are naïve to these medications and in patients who have experienced tolerability issues on their current or prior combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). The tolerability is evaluated by switching the patients from their previous or current combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) to either darunavir or etravirine.
