Filter by: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. This is a single-center, randomized, open-label, 3-period crossover study in healthy adult subjects to evaluate the single-dose relative bioavailability of two experimental oral DTG 50 mg/ABC 600 mg/3TC 300 mg FDC tablet formulations compared to co-administration of the separate tablet formulations (DTG 50 mg tablet and EPZICOM), with each dose administered in the fasted state. Approximately 18 subjects will be enrolled and randomized to one of 6 different treatment sequences. 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), apparent clearance following oral dosing (CL/F) and apparent terminal phase volume of distribution (Vz/F).
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of the combination dapivirine and maraviroc vaginal ring and determine whether it is safe when used continuously for 28 days by healthy women in the United States.
This study is to characterize the effect of cobicistat-based regimens on parameters of renal function in subjects with HIV infection and who have mild to moderate renal impairment, and to assess the safety and tolerability of the regimens in order to generate appropriate dosing recommendations.
The proposed study is a three-armed randomized clinical trial. A total of 750 clients will be randomly assigned (using a random number table) to the interviewer-administered intervention, the self-administered intervention, and waitlist control conditions upon completion of screening, informed consent, HIV pretest counseling and test administration, and collection of baseline risk behavior data. Outcomes will be measured at 3, 6 and 12 months.
Visceral leishmaniosis (VL) is widely reported in Ethiopia, with about 30% of cases being associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In absence of antiretroviral treatment (ART), poor prognosis, high mortality and high relapse rates are characteristic of Ethiopian VL patients with HIV co-infection. Conversely, co-infection can be successfully managed via a combination of effective treatment of the initial episode, timely ART and prevention of relapses. Actually, until cellular immunity returns with ART, the patient is at risk of VL relapses, which can result in death, severe illness, reduced ART efficacy, drug-resistance and possibly transmission of drug-resistant Leishmania donovani. Patients most vulnerable to relapses are those with high levels of immunosuppression, with previous VL episodes, or with opportunistic infections (OIs). The most important factor to prevent relapses seems to be the clearance of visible parasites. Limited studies in Europe show that HIV co-infected patients may benefit from secondary prevention with antimonials (part of mainstay treatment for VL in Ethiopia) and pentamidine (PM), not used for VL treatment in Africa. Such maintenance treatment has not been studied in African VL, but the poor outcomes without secondary prevention highlight a need of better care to patients at risk of relapse. This prospective cohort study aims at documenting the patient's outcomes of secondary prophylaxis with PM in VL-HIV co-infection, in terms of time to relapse or death, safety and feasibility, before it can be considered for general use in Ethiopia. A placebo group is not included, due to the clear advantages of the intervention to the patient population.
Dolutegravir (DTG, GSK1349572) is an integrase inhibitor being developed for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) on behalf of Shionogi-ViiV Healthcare LLC. DTG is metabolized primarily by uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase (UGT)1A1, with a minor role of cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A, and with renal elimination of unchanged drug being extremely low (< 1% of the dose). Fifty-three percent of the total oral dose is excreted unchanged in the feces but it is unknown if all or part of this is due to unabsorbed drug or some percentage of biliary excretion of the glucuronide conjugate which can be further degraded to form the parent compound in the gut lumen. The current Food and Drug Administration (FDA) draft guidance for renal impairment studies states that a pharmacokinetic (PK) study in patients with renal impairment should be conducted even for those drugs primarily metabolized or secreted in bile, because renal impairment can inhibit some pathways of hepatic and gut drug metabolism and transport. This study is planned as an open label, single-dose, pharmacokinetic study to evaluate plasma DTG pharmacokinetics following oral administration to subjects with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min) and matched healthy controls. Results from this study are expected to enable the development of appropriate dosing recommendations in patients with renal impairment.
A drug-drug interaction between the anti-HIV drugs tenofovir DF (TDF) and atazanavir (ATZ) results in lower ATZ plasma levels when the drugs are given together, particularly in patients not taking ritonavir to boost ATZ levels. Lower plasma drug levels may make the anti-HIV regimen less effective in controlling the HIV virus levels in the blood. For this reason, current treatment guidelines recommend that ATZ always be boosted with ritonavir in regimens also containing TDF. However, withdrawal of ritonavir is often desirable given the tolerability and toxicity issues with this agent, even at the low dose (100 mg daily) used to boost ATZ. For example, ritonavir can cause stomach upset, nausea, diarrhea, high cholesterol levels, and liver enzyme abnormalities. However, there is evidence that plasma ATZ levels may not predict treatment success on unboosted ATZ regimens, particularly among people whose plasma HIV virus is already under control and unboosted ATZ is being used as a maintenance strategy. In the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS Drug Treatment Program (DTP), nearly 100 patients originally treated with ritonavir-boosted ATZ + TDF (+ FTC or 3TC) are receiving successful maintenance therapy with unboosted ATZ and the same TDF-based backbone. The study will examine the hypothesis that switching to maintenance therapy with unboosted ATZ 400mg daily will have similar 48-week virologic efficacy to continuing ATZ/ritonavir 300/100mg daily among HIV-infected adults with stable viral load suppression on regimens comprising ATZ/ritonavir 300/100mg daily with TDF plus either FTC or 3TC, despite potentially lower ATZ trough levels with the unboosted regimen. In other words, patients whose HIV viral load is undetectable while receiving TDF (+FTC or 3TC) and ATZ/ritonavir will continue to maintain an undetectable viral load after switching to unboosted ATZ without ritonavir, in the same proportions as those continuing on their boosted ATZ/ritonavir regimen.
Background: - Hepatitis B and hepatitis C can cause liver damage. They can also cause serious illness, including liver cancer, and even death. This study will follow people who have hepatitis B or hepatitis C. The purpose is to understand more about how these viruses affect the immune system over the long term (up to 10 years). The study will also compare how these viruses affect people who do and do not have HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Objectives: - To do a long-term study of hepatitis B and hepatitis C infection. - To study the effects of hepatitis B and hepatitis C infection in people do and do not have HIV. Eligibility: - People at least 18 years of age who have hepatitis B or hepatitis C and have a regular doctor for their medical care. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Those who do not have a regular doctor to provide medical care during the study will not be able to take part. - Participants will have yearly visits with study researchers for up to 10 years. These tests will be done at each visit. - Medical history and physical exam. - Questionnaire (optional) on emotions, sexual behaviors, use of alcohol and drugs, and quality of life. - Blood and urine tests, including HIV testing. - Tissue sample collections for those who have had a liver or other tissue biopsy. - Participants may leave the study at any time. They will receive the standard of care from their regular doctor throughout the study.
This research work is important for the cure/control of HIV infection. The study is intended to confirm the efficacy of "Kallunk Oxide (Immunotherapy)" molecules in the Treatment of HIV infection. The study will investigate the T- Lymphocytes (immune) response to HIV in order to boost the body's natural immune ability against infection. The basic study is directly inhibit a protein's increased functions, not only in the CD4+T cell but also CD3+ and CD8+ T cells and the CD45+. cells. The 'Yogaprabhava', the drug's effectiveness, and progressive immunity with diet and lifestyle can be more easily studied.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and pharmacokinetics of KM-023 after single/multiple dosing.
