Filter by:Darunavir/ritonavir is one of the preferred antiretroviral agents as part of combination antiretroviral therapy for treatment of HIV-infected adults according to international guidelines. For children 3-12 years old, FDA has approved once daily dosing of darunavir/ritonavir. Dosing recommendations for children 6-12 years old have been approved based on a modelling and simulation procedure by the company. This pharmacokinetic study is designed to validate the proposed dosing recommendation for once daily darunavir/ritonavir in HIV-infected children aged 6-12 years old.
This is a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial of 200 HIV-infected pregnant women living in Tororo, Uganda, an area of high malaria transmission. HIV-infected pregnant women between 12 and 28 weeks gestation will be randomized to receive enhanced malaria chemoprevention with monthly dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) versus monthly DP placebo. Their HIV-exposed children will receive the same prevention regimen from 2 to 24 months of age to which the mothers were randomized. All women will receive daily trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TS) throughout the study per Uganda Ministry of Health guidelines. Children will also receive daily TS from 6 weeks to 24 months of age. TS will be considered a study drug only in infants and children beginning 6 weeks after cessation of breastfeeding and upon exclusion of HIV infection. Women and their children will be followed for 36 months after delivery. In a subset of the study population, the investigators will conduct an intensive pharmacokinetic study that will evaluate pharmacokinetic exposure of DP and EFV. The investigators will also measure HIV-related outcomes among the women enrolled in the study. The investigators will test the hypothesis that for HIV-infected mothers and HIV-exposed infants, that enhanced versus standard malaria chemoprevention in HIV-infected pregnant women and their children will reduce the incidence of malaria among children from 0 to 24 months of age and improve the development of naturally acquired antimalarial immunity.
This is an open-label, single sequence, 2-cohort, drug-drug interaction study in healthy male and female subjects. There is no formal hypothesis, however, it is expected that the coadministration of BMS-663068 with darunavir (DRV)/cobicistat (COBI) or COBI will increase the systemic exposure of BMS-626529.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a light meal, a standard meal, and a high fat meal on the PK of BMS-955176 MC tablet at a dose of 180 mg, relative to fasted conditions.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority in efficacy while switching to a once-daily single-tablet regimen containing darunavir (DRV)/ cobicistat (COBI)/ emtricitabine (FTC)/ tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) (D/C/F/TAF tablet) relative to continuing the current regimen consisting of a boosted protease inhibitor (bPI) combined with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) in virologically-suppressed (human immunodeficiency virus type 1 ribonucleic acid [HIV-1 RNA] concentrations less than [<] 50 copies per milliliter [copies/mL]) HIV-1 infected participants.
Influenza ('flu) can cause severe infections, especially in people with weakened immune systems such as those with HIV. For this reason, yearly vaccination is recommended with the standard 'inactivated' influenza vaccine to try and prevent infections in these populations. It is also recommended in all health care workers, to help prevent the spread of influenza within healthcare settings. However, having HIV infection may mean vaccines work less well in some people and the investigators do not completely understand why. An alternative to the standard 'inactivated' annual influenza vaccine is the 'live attenuated influenza vaccine' (LAIV), which means it consists of weakened versions of the influenza virus. Unlike the standard vaccine, which is given by injection, LAIV is a spray that is given into each nostril. It is now given to children in the UK in preference to the standard vaccine as it results in greater protection from influenza. In some other countries, like the USA, adults are also given LAIV, where it seems to work just as well as the standard vaccine. A few studies in the past have shown that LAIV is safe and effective in HIVinfected children and adults. The investigators want to give LAIV to HIVinfected and HIV negative individuals, to try to find out new information about how HIV infection may change the way in which people respond to vaccines. The investigators will do this by comparing both the early genetic response to the vaccines and later responses from cells specifically targeted to fight influenza ('Tcells'), in these groups. In the long term, the investigators hope that this will lead to designing new ways of improving the response to vaccines in HIVinfected people. As LAIV is given into each nostril, rather than an injection, the investigators also want to see if LAIV results in Tcells in the lung that are specifically targeted to fight influenza
The proposed research aims to pilot a multi-strategy structural intervention combining community mobilization to promote gender equity alongside an economic intervention (microfinance and business training) in order to reduce gender-based violence and HIV risk among female sex workers (FSW) in Tijuana, Mexico. The program will be called ESTIMA: "Economic and Social Empowerment To Increase Upwards Mobility Among Women." The evaluation will employ a randomized controlled design, recruiting FSW (n=120, 60 in each arm) who will be randomized to: 1) ESTIMA (gender equity/community mobilization program and economic intervention) or 2) a wait-list control group. For this preliminary work, at 12 months follow-up, we hypothesize that compared to control participants, intervention participants will have: 1) significantly greater economic security (e.g. decreased debt, increased income, decreased number of sex trades) and 2) significantly greater perceived collective power (i.e. collective efficacy) to address gendered power imbalances within social structures and the community. The long-term goal of this program, upon future refinement and large scale implementation, is to reduce HIV risk behaviors, STI/HIV, GBV, and ultimately, alleviate a multitude of health burdens among women. Furthermore, we expect that such work will highlight the need for HIV prevention initiatives in Mexico, and elsewhere, to more broadly consider women's 'life contexts' - addressing economic and social burdens in women's lives, to reduce the burden of poverty, gender, and HIV, as well as the intersection of these among women.
The purpose of this study is to determine the risk factors associated with the occurrence of arterial insufficiency in patients with HIV / AIDS, and to identify the prevalence of this disease. The estimated prevalence is 10%, similar to that reported in the general population.
HIV-1 infected subjects with CD4 nadir > 200 cells/mm3, no history of virologic failure and plasma HIV RNA <50 copies/mL for at least 48 weeks while on any United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) recommended or alternative three-drug antiretroviral regimen will be randomized to dolutegravir (DTG) plus lamivudine (Arm 1) or continuation of their current regimen (Arm 2) for 48 weeks. The primary endpoint is virologic failure defined as confirmed plasma HIV-1 RNA > 50 copies/mL before or at Week 24
A new anti-HIV medicine (Dolutegravir) combined with 2 currently used anti-HIV medicines is non-inferior to the standard combination of medicines used in terms of efficacy and better in terms of toxicity.
