Filter by:It is known successful HIV therapy depends on the patients' ability to take their medicine regularly. This study is designed to find out if an intervention designed to help patients remember to take their medication is effective. The intervention consists of a wristwatch that has an alarm to remind patients when to take their medication, a pillbox and three monthly phone calls by a physician. All these experimental measures are meant to improve the ability of patients to take their medicines.
It has been shown that treatment of HIV-positive women with antiretroviral medication during pregnancy reduces the risk of HIV transmission to the child. However, such treatment could lead to the selection of resistant virus strains in the mother. The object of this study is to check HIV+ pregnant women for resistance mutations in HIV before and after the antiretroviral therapy they receive during pregnancy. HIV-positive newborns will also be tested, to see if a resistant virus strain was transmitted from mother to child.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CCR5 antagonist GW873140 or placebo in combination with an optimized background regimen in treatment-experienced HIV-infected subjects with R5-tropic virus
HIV-specific immune responses are preserved in patients treated early during primary infection.The trial evaluated whether the addition to HAART of IL-2 alone or combined with an immunization procedure might enhance HIV immune responses and improve viral control after HAART discontinuation
Treatment of acute primary HIV infection may improve long-term outcome. However, optimal treatment is still debated. The ANRS 112-INTERPRIM trial evaluates three different therapeutical strategies, combining permanent or intermittent HAART and a cytokine, interferon alpha, in order to determine which combination allows the best control of HIV viremia after 24 weeks of antiretroviral treatment interruption
The main purpose of this study is to learn whether the study vaccine and the adjuvants(drugs that are used to help immune response) have an acceptable safety profile in treating individuals with HIV. A second purpose for this study is to understand how your immune system responds to the study vaccine with the adjuvants. Understanding these differences could be useful in several ways. First, it might help identify people whose disease is likely to respond to the study vaccine with the study adjuvants. Second, the information might be useful in developing other treatments for people whose disease does not respond to the study vaccine with the adjuvants.
This study is designed to test two separate strategies for treatment of anemia (low hemoglobin) and neutropenia (low white blood cells) in HIV/HCV coinfected patients who are being treated with pegylated interferon and ribavirin.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of GB virus C (GBV-C) on the natural history of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in subjects co-infected with HIV and HCV. The other aspect of the study is to assess the effect of GBV-C on the severity of liver disease due to chronic hepatitis C in subjects co-infected with HIV and HCV. This will be done by determining the point prevalence of co-infection retrospectively then following that cohort prospectively. In addition, further individuals will be recruited in a prospective manner.
To show the feasibility of liver transplantation in HCV-HIV coinfected patients. To study the two-year survival after transplantation, the interaction between HCV and HIV after transplantation, the influence of HIV on HCV recurrence after transplantation, the interaction between immunosuppressive and antiretroviral drugs in particular anti-proteases, immunological follow-up and quality of life of these patients
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a one-year nutritional intervention with either betaine or vitamin E supplementation, or a weight reducing diet and exercise program on liver steatosis and steatohepatitis.
