Filter by:This study is a Phase IIa, randomized, multi-site, two-arm, double-blinded study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and acceptability of GSK1265744 long acting injectable formulation (744 LA) in adult male subjects. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the injectable agent, 744 LA (800 milligrams (mg) dose administered at three time points at 12 week intervals) through Week 41 in HIV-uninfected men. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 5:1 ratio to receive 744 LA or matching placebo. Participants will receive daily oral 744 (30 mg tablets) or matching placebo for 4 weeks during the Oral Phase of the study, followed by a one week washout period. Following safety lab assessments from the Oral Phase, participants will enter the Injection Phase and receive Intramuscular (IM) injections of 744 LA or placebo at three time points at 12 week intervals. IM injections will consist of 800 mg of 744 or a matching control
In this study, the dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC) fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet is being made available to women who become pregnant while participating in study ING117172. Continuation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is key to both mother and the unborn fetus in order to maintain virologic suppression in the mother (thereby decreasing the risk for maternal disease progression), but also to reduce the risk of maternal-fetal transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) to her unborn child. This study also offers the first opportunity to investigate the impact of pregnancy on DTG pharmacokinetics (PK). This is an open-label, single arm interventional study. The number of women that will be enrolled into this study cannot be established a priori, as unintended pregnancies cannot be determined in advance. The maximum number of women would include all of those women randomized to DTG/ABC/3TC FDC (approximately 237), though unintended pregnancies in all of these women would not be anticipated.
This study will implement a socio-behavioral intervention in Quezon City, the Philippines, using a community-based participatory approach. The intervention involves 1-2 psychosocial and health education training workshops for the establishment managers and their workers, focusing on HIV/AIDS risk reduction information and condom use and condom negotiation skill-building. Participants will also be invited to do dream-building activities that explore their personal goals and goals for their organization of peers.
This study involves researching new approaches to treating HIV infection. Currently, HIV infection is treated with combinations of drugs called antiretrovirals. These drugs protect cells from infection by interfering with the viruses' ability to make copies of itself by infecting new target cells. Though these drugs are very effective, they cannot cure HIV infection and must be taken each and every day at prescribed doses to maintain their beneficial effect. This research study is investigating a new approach that involves an addition to existing medications. The study is investigating a medication called Poly-ICLC (Hiltonol®, Oncovir), which is an adjuvant. Adjuvants are medications that are designed to boost your body's immune responses resulting from a vaccine. The investigators want to test whether Poly-ICLC is an adjuvant that is effective in HIV-infected patients. A vaccine is not given in this study, but just investigating the adjuvant, Poly-ICLC, to determine whether it may be safe and useful in future vaccines that could be used to treat HIV, called therapeutic vaccines. One goal of future therapeutic vaccines is to reduce the virus that remains persistently inside of cells in a dormant or resting state despite treatment with HIV medications. This persistent pool is termed the "latent virus pool" or "viral reservoir". One tactic to reduce this viral reservoir is to first stimulate HIV to start replicating in order to force it out of hiding. Once viral replication occurs, the infected cells may then be recognized and killed by cells of the immune system. Therefore, we also want to see what effect Poly-ICLC has on the virus that lives inside of cells. Specifically, the investigators want to look at whether Poly-ICLC increases the level of virus inside your cells while also improving your immune system's responses. The investigators are doing this research in hope to find new ways to treat HIV infection that may reduce exposure to medications that are called antiretrovirals. Antiretrovirals are medications used to treat HIV infection. They are very effective but have side effects and have to be taken each and every day and cannot cure HIV.
This study seeks to determine the public health impact of providing rapid HIV test kits to men who have sex with men (MSM) so they may test themselves at their convenience. The study will determine if men who receive the rapid HIV test kits report HIV testing at least three times per year. This study will be conducted in four consecutive parts. The first three parts are formative in nature to guide the development and implementation of Part 4 of the study. The research study will use two different types of rapid HIV tests. The OraQuick® In-Home HIV Test for oral fluid (FDA approved for home use) and Sure Check® HIV 1/2 Assay, currently FDA-approved for professional use and distributed in the U.S. as Clearview® Complete HIV-1/2 Rapid Test. An Investigational Device Exemption will be obtained from the FDA to allow the contractor to supply the Sure Check® HIV 1/2 Assay to study participants since it is not approved for home use.
This study will be a phase 1, open label, parallel group, three period crossover study to evaluate the effect of dolutegravir (DTG) on the steady state pharmacokinetics of metformin and on the safety and tolerability of dolutegravir and metformin. Subjects will have a screening visit within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug, three treatment periods, and a follow up visit 7-14 days after the last dose of study drug. Eligible subjects will be assigned to one of the two treatment cohorts. Subjects will receive metformin 500 milligram (mg) after every 12 hours (q12h) for 5 days in Period 1; metformin 500 mg q12h plus dolutegravir 50 mg after every 24 hours (q24h) (Cohort 1) or 50 mg q12h (Cohort 2) for 7 days in Period 2; and metformin 500 mg q12h for 10 days in Period 3. There will be no washout periods between treatments. All doses of study drug will be taken following a meal. Safety evaluations will be collected during each period. Serial pharmacokinetic (PK) samples will be collected for metformin on the last day of each period and for dolutegravir on the last day of Period 2.
Design: Randomized clinical trial involving hospitalized HIV-1 infected children. Children will be randomized to randomized to urgent (<48 hours) versus early antiretroviral therapy (7-14 days). This trial will be unblinded. Population: Hospitalized HIV-1 infected children who are antiretroviral therapy (ART) naïve ≤ 12 years of age. Sample size: 360 children will be randomized (180 per arm). Treatment: All infants will be treated with ART according to World Health Organization (WHO) and Kenyan national guidelines. Study duration: Enrollment into the study will occur over the course of 36-48 months and each infant will be routinely followed for a maximum of 6 months. Study site: Kenyan hospitals. Primary hypothesis: HIV-1 infected children hospitalized with severe co-infection either may be unsalvageable due to too far advanced immunosuppression/co-infection or may benefit from urgent ART. Secondary hypotheses: Urgent ART during an acute infection could potentially result in increased risk of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) or drug toxicities/interactions. Specific aims: 1. To compare the 6 month all-cause mortality rate, incidence of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), and incidence of drug toxicity in HIV-1 infected children (≤ 12 years old) presenting to hospital with a serious infection randomized to urgent (<48 hours) versus early ART (7-14 days). 2. To determine co-factors for mortality, IRIS, and drug toxicity. Potential cofactors will include: baseline weight-for-age, height-for-age, weight-for-height (Z-scores), CD4, HIV-1 RNA, type of co-infection, age, rate of viral load and CD4 change following ART, immune activation markers, pathogen and HIV-1 specific immune responses. Secondary aim: To determine etiologies of IRIS and to compare immune reconstitution to HIV, TB, EBV and CMV following ART overall and in each trial arm.
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is an interaction in healthy subjects taking BMS-663068 with Darunavir/Ritonavir and/or Etravirine.
This study will evaluate two new GSK1265744 sodium salt tablet formulations and provide data for selection of one of these tablet formulations for use in Phase 3. This is a single-center, randomized, two part, open-label, crossover study in healthy adult subjects. Part A is a randomized, open-label, 3-way balanced cross-over design in 24 subjects to assess the oral bioavailability of two GSK1265744 sodium salt tablet formulations relative to the current GSK1265744 sodium salt formulation being used in the phase IIb studies under fasting conditions. Part A treatment periods will be separated by a 14 day washout. After completion of Part A, preliminary PK data will be analyzed and a decision will be made based on pre-specified criteria, as to which formulation will be used to conduct Part B. Fifteen subjects who will have participated in Part A will participate in Part B and receive the selected formulation with a moderate fat meal. All treatments will be administered as single 30 mg doses of GSK1265744. Safety evaluations and serial PK samples will be collected during each treatment period. A follow-up visit will occur 10 - 14 days after the last dose of study drug.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of DAA-based regimens in the clinical practice in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients. Hypothesis: The efficacy and tolerability of DAA-based regimens in the clinical practice is different to what is observed in clinical trials in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients.
