Filter by:The objective of this study is to assess vaccine responses to novel adjuvanted influenza A(H1N1) vaccines in patients at high risks of influenza A(H1N1) complications.
This phase I/II, multi-center study is designed to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of Raltegravir in patients with end stage liver disease and to assess drug-drug interaction when Raltegravir is combined with immunosuppressive therapy in liver transplant recipients.
Advances in HAART have been a huge success story in the management of HIV infection. However, serious metabolic complications including osteoporosis and bone fractures are increasingly been seen with HAART, and the responsible mechanisms remain poorly elucidated. The skeleton continually regenerates through homeostatic bone remodeling. Osteoclasts the cells responsible for bone resorption form under the influence of the key osteoclastogenic cytokine Receptor- Activator of NF-KB (RANKL). The osteoclastogenic and pro-resorptive activities of RANKL are moderated by its physiological decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG). Increase in the ratio of RANKL to OPG accelerates the rate of osteoclastic bone resorption leading to osteoporosis. The investigators' preliminary studies have now demonstrated that in an animal model of HIV/AIDS, the HIV-1 Transgenic rat, the development of osteoporosis is recapitulated as observed in human patients. Furthermore, the investigators found that B cell expression of OPG is significantly downregulated, concurrent with a significant upregulation in production of RANKL.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the 2 gram single dose of metronidazole is as effective as the 7 day 500 mg BID dose for treatment of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) among HIV-infected women.
This was a Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted at 1 site in South Africa. A total of 26 subjects were randomized 1:1 to receive 2 doses of either AERAS-402 at 3 x 10^10 vp (N=13) or placebo (N=13) on Study Days 0 and 28. Dose-escalation to a second group of 40 subjects was planned, but although no safety concerns were identified, the sponsor decided not to continue the study.
This pilot, phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of bortezomib in treating patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related Kaposi sarcoma that has come back or has not responded to treatment. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this study is to see if a computerized counseling tool helps patients reduce their sexual transmission risk and improve their antiretroviral adherence.
The purpose of the study is to determine the main factors contributing to predicted 10 year cardiovascular risk in an HIV infected cohort, and the role of anti-HIV drug use in altering this risk
The purpose of this study is to see if a computer counseling tool helps Spanish-speaking people living with HIV to have safer sex and to do well on their HIV medicines.
Clinical data suggests that the standard dose of the anti-HIV medication, efavirenz (EFV), could be reduced without compromising its effectiveness. Lower drug doses could have fewer side effects and would make EFV more affordable. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness, over 96 weeks, of standard (600mg) versus reduced dose (400mg) EFV in controlling HIV as part of initial combination antiretroviral therapy.
