HIV infection is associated with premature aging of the immune system. It is believe that the persistent inflammation that accompanies HIV infection is a major contributor to premature immune aging. Fish oil has well-documented anti-inflammatory properties. In this randomized, clinical trial, we're testing whether a 12-week course of fish oil supplementation will reverse premature aging in HIV-infected older adults.
HIV infection is associated with a state of chronic, generalized immune activation that has been shown in many studies to be a key predictor of progression to AIDS. The molecular, cellular, and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the HIV-associated immune activation are complex and still poorly studied. There is, however, growing consensus that both viral and host factors contribute to this phenotype, with emphasis on the role played by the mucosal immune dysfunction (and consequent microbial translocation). Moreover if it is known that in HIV-infected individuals, a severe depletion of intestinal cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4+) T-cells, is associated with loss of epithelium integrity, microbial translocation and systemic immune activation, the kinetics of intestinal CD4+ T-cell reconstitution under combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) remains poorly understood. This study sought to evaluate the reconstitution of intestinal CD4+ T-cells, including Th1 and Th17, in blood and colon samples collected from HIV-infected individuals before and after a short term cART.
This is a 24-week, one arm, open-label, interventional, non-comparative multicenter study to evaluate lipid changes in HIV infected women with hyperlipidemia on boosted PI based regimen after switching their boosted PI to raltegravir at standard dosage with 400mg twice daily. This study aims to study the effect on metabolic profiles by switching hyperlipidemic HIV infected women from a PI based regimen to raltegravir.
The purpose of this study is to select the best dose level (amount of drug given) and best formulation of the study drug (BMS-955176) to develop further.
This study will allow to assess liver related injuries in HIV patients.
The REDUC ("Kick and Kill") trial's objective is to address one of the core issues with the treatment of HIV, which is that some HIV infected cells hide in so-called latent reservoirs. The reservoirs are unaffected by conventional HIV medication and invisible to the immune system. HDACi have the potential to activate ("Kick") these latently infected cells. This will make the HIV infected cells visible to the immune system; the immune response generate by Vacc-4x will be able to attack and eliminate ("Kill") the infected cells.
This study is designed to estimate the two-way drug interaction between DCV and DTG as a drug interaction between DTG and DCV is expected to be low and this study is to be performed as confirmation. This will be a single-center, open-label, three-period, crossover study in healthy adult subjects. This study to describe and compare steady-state plasma DTG and DCV pharmacokinetics following administration of DTG 50 mg q24h with and without DCV 60 mg q24h and following administration of DCV 60 mg q24h with and without DTG 50 mg q24h also the safety and tolerability was assessed after a repeat dose DTG 50 mg q24h with or without DCV 60 mg q24h and after a repeat dose DCV 60 mg q24h with and without DTG 50 mg q24h
Background: - The immune system protects the body from infection. But it can also cause harm. For example, the clotting system makes blood clot and protects from bleeding. But blood clots are sometimes harmful. People with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have increased inflammation and clotting. This may increase their risk for diseases like stroke or heart attack. Researchers want to know how aspirin or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (so-called statin medications) affect the immune and clotting systems of people with HIV. Aspirin is a medicine to decrease clotting. Statins are medications given to lower cholesterol and decrease inflammation. Objectives: - To see how aspirin or statins change immune and clotting systems in people with HIV. Eligibility: - Adults 18 and older with HIV and a low viral load, not on aspirin or a statin medication. They must also have either: (1) never taken anti-HIV medications (ARVs), have a suppressed viral load, have stable CD4 counts, and never had an opportunistic infection; or (2) been taking ARVs for 5 continuous years and have a suppressed viral load for more than 3 years. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood and lab tests. - Participants will repeat screening tests and have an MRI. An MRI is a way to visualize blood vessels in the neck and head. Participants will lie on a table that slides in and out of a cylinder surrounded by a magnetic field. - Participants will take either study drug once daily for 9 months. - Participants will have a blood procedure twice. Blood will be removed through a needle in one arm and circulated through a machine that removes white blood cells. The blood, minus white blood cells, is returned through a needle in the other arm. - All participants will be observed for 3 months before and after treatment.
DOL-ART is a multi-center, prospective, non-interventional study of the use of doluetegravir as part of an antiretroviral combination therapy in routine daily practice in Germany. The primary study objective is a descriptive characterization of the frequency of therapeutic monitoring measures in HIV-infected patients under dolutegravir-containing ART in routine daily practice in Germany. The study is designed to enroll approximately 400 patients. There are no protocol-mandated visits or procedures associated with the study. Each patient is expected to participate for a maximum of 3 years or until premature discontinuation (i.e., discontinuation of dolutegravir, due to death, withdrawal of consent, lost to follow-up).
