Filter by:The trial will assess the tolerability and swallowability of a STR placebo of B/F/TAF as compared to DTG/ABC/3TC placebo STR in healthy individuals and HIV antiretroviral naïve patients. The study team will evaluate the ease of swallow and patient's tolerance of the medication formulation, an important, yet often overlooked aspect of ART adherence, with the potential for significant impact on patient's outcomes.
This study aims to improve maternal and child health (MCH) outcomes by implementing and evaluating a multidisciplinary "Integrated Management Team to Improve Maternal-Child Outcomes (IMPROVE)" intervention to increase MCH, antiretroviral therapy (ART), and HIV services uptake and retention in Lesotho. The proposed intervention will focus efforts to improve the effectiveness of existing village health workers (VHW) and HIV support organizations (Lesotho Network of AIDS Service Organizations [LENASO] and Mothers2Mothers [M2M]) based at the facility and coordination between the facility and community. The IMPROVE intervention includes: (1) Multidisciplinary integrated management teams to coordinate patient-focused and outcome-oriented PMTCT and MCH services; (2) Enhanced Positive Health, Dignity, and Prevention (PHDP)-focused counseling and skills-building training and job aids; and (3) Increased early community-based counseling and support for first (antenatal care clinic) ANC attendees with particular attention to HIV-positive women to minimize loss to follow-up. The study will be a cluster randomized design with facilities randomized to receive the IMPROVE intervention or routine services offering the national standard of care. A cohort of HIV-positive and HIV-negative pregnant women will be enrolled and prospectively followed every three months through pregnancy and until the participant's child reaches 24 months of age. The primary HIV objectives will be to evaluate the effect of the intervention on retention in HIV care, viral suppression, adherence to ART in HIV-positive women, and HIV retesting in HIV-negative women. The investigators will also assess the effect of the IMPROVE intervention on general MCH indices including antenatal care (ANC) attendance, facility delivery, family planning, and immunization coverage. Secondary objectives include evaluation of adherence self-efficacy (HIV positive) or prevention self-efficacy (HIV negative), depression and stigma as well as disclosure, knowledge of partner status, and identification of discordant couples in intervention versus control facilities. Analysis of the cost-effectiveness of the IMPROVE intervention will also be conducted. In addition, qualitative interviews and focus group discussions will be conducted with study women, health care workers (HCW), LENASO, and VHWs to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of integrating this intervention into routine care.
Morbidity and mortality from smoking-related diseases among people living with HIV (PLWH) in the U.S. surpasses that due to HIV itself. Conventional smoking cessation treatments have not demonstrated strong efficacy among PLWH. The investigators conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate a tailored smoking cessation intervention based on the minority stress model, hypothesizing that behavioral counseling through this lens would enhance cessation. The investigators compared standard of care counseling (SOC) to a tailored intervention (TI) including one face-to-face counseling session incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy to build resilience, and 30 days of 2-way text messaging.
To evaluate the safety, tolerability of single dose lipovirtide injection in HIV-infected individuals without prior antiviral treatment, and to investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of infected patients.
This study will aim to evaluate the effect of therapeutic and supratherapeutic oral doses of GSK3640254 on cardiac conduction compared to placebo and a single oral dose of Moxifloxacin in healthy adult participants. The study has 2 parts: Part 1 will determine the supratherapeutic dose for Part 2, which will be the main corrected QT interval (QTc) study. Part 1 will evaluate once daily (QD) dosing of GSK3640254 or placebo and Part 2 will investigate the safety, tolerability and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of GSK3640254 doses on cardiac conduction as compared to placebo and a single oral dose of Moxifloxacin in healthy adult participants. Moxifloxacin will be included as a positive control.
This is a prospective cohort study of outcomes of individuals who entered jail during a period during which one of three serial HIV testing strategies is implemented. This study involves two sub-studies. One sub-study will examine referrals to HIV prevention programs for persons testing negative for HIV while in jail. The second sub-study will monitor antiviral use among those testing positive for HIV.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of M72/AS01E vaccination in virally suppressed, antiretroviral-treated participants with human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV).
Human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) is the virus that causes Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HIV infection is considered to be a chronic disease requiring lifelong therapy. This study will evaluate how safe ABBV-382 is and how it is absorbed, distributed and eliminated from the body in adult participants with HIV-1 infection. ABBV-382 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. This study takes place in 2 parts. In Part A, participants with HIV-1 and no history of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) or who are off cART for more than 3 months will be enrolled to receive ABBV-382. In Part B, participants with no virus in their blood and on maintenance cART will be enrolled into one of the intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) groups. In the IV groups, participants will receive either placebo or ABBV-382 whereas participants in the SC group will receive ABBV-382. There is 1 in 3 chance that participants will receive placebo (no drug) in Part B IV groups. The IV group in Part B is double-blinded which means neither the study doctors nor the participants will know who will be given study drug or placebo. Around 52 adult participants with HIV-1 infection will be enrolled at approximately 21 sites across the United States, including Puerto Rico. Participants in Part A will receive an intravenous (IV) dose of ABBV-382 on Day 1. Participants in Part B will receive an IV or SC dose of ABBV-382 or placebo on Days 1, 29 and 57. There may be a higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, and presence of side effects.
People living with HIV (PLHIV) who require admission to hospital in WHO Africa region have poor outcomes. TB is very common in this group, but can be difficult to diagnose. The CASTLE trial aims to determine whether systematic screening for tuberculosis using digital chest X-ray with computer-aided diagnosis (DCXR-CAD) plus urine lipoarabinomannan testing with Fujifilm SILVAMP TB LAM (FujiLAM) plus usual care can improve admission outcomes for hospitalised PLHIV, compared to usual care alone. Our study is a single centre, unblinded, cluster-randomised (by day of admission) trial of DCXR-CAD plus FujiLAM plus usual care vs. usual care alone for screening for TB in unselected adult PLHIV admitted to a district general hospital in Malawi. The primary outcome is the proportion of people starting TB treatment by the time of death or hospital discharge. The secondary outcomes are all-cause mortality at 56 days from enrolment, proportion of people starting TB treatment within 24 hours from enrolment, and proportion of people with undiagnosed TB. In the CASTLE study we collect a single sputum sample for M. tb culture from participants and undiagnosed TB specifically refers to a person who did not start TB treatment by the time of death or discharge from hospital and has a M. tb cultured from their sputum sample. Alongside the two trial arms, a third smaller diagnostic cohort arm (1 in 9 of admission days / trial clusters) will explore the range of underlying infectious pathology. The diagnostic cohort does not contribute to trial outcomes.
