Filter by:This pilot pharmacokinetic study is designed to exclude a large difference (>40%) in pharmacokinetics (esp. AUC) between two new Lopimune formulations and the branded formulation. The formal bioequivalence study with adequate power will be conducted by the manufacturer. In order to get data independently from the manufacturer and to have this information in an earlier phase, this small pilot study is initiated. The initial study showed a declined bioavailability of the granules under fasting conditions. The study has been extended with an arm determining the pharmacokinetics of the granules after food (compared to the oral solution taken with food).
The purpose of this trial is to determine the effect of raltegravir on pravastatin pharmacokinetics and vice versa by intrasubject comparison.
The study will assess if use of maraviroc along with an optimized background regimen of antiretroviral drugs in usual clinical practice is as safe as using only an optimized regimen of antiretroviral drugs.
Treatment of HIV with antiretroviral regimens that include protease inhibitors (PIs) frequently results in the suppression of HIV viral load, significant immune recovery, and delayed disease progression. However, treatment with PIs has been associated with significant increases in cholesterol and triglycerides in HIV infected adults and children. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of escalating doses of atorvastatin, a FDA-approved drug which lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels, in HIV infected children receiving antiretroviral regimens containing at least one PI.
This study will evaluate HIV-HBV infected individuals who have evidence of HBV replication in the blood after taking 48 weeks of more of the HBV active medication tenofovir in combination with emtricitabine or lamivudine. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive 24 weeks of entecavir (ETV) 1 mg versus continued standard of care antiretroviral therapy. After 24 weeks, individuals on entecavir or who remain HBV viremic on standard of care will receive ETV o for an additional 24 weeks. The hypothesis is that intensification with entecavir will reduce HBV DNA at 24 weeks more than continued antiretroviral therapy without entecavir.
This research is being done to study how the immune system in the small intestine improves after taking antiretroviral (anti-HIV) medications. The main purpose is to measure the increase in the numbers of immune cells in the intestine to see if one type of HIV medication gives different results than other types of HIV medications.
This study focuses on collecting and analyzing quantitative data related to adherence to antiretroviral treatment from patients in Dali, China, over a one-year time-frame and generating preliminary data on an intervention designed to improve adherence to antiretroviral treatment among the study population.
The HIV integrase inhibitor, raltegravir (RAL), which was recently approved by the FDA, has been shown in several trials to be highly effective. The purpose of this trial is to estimate the viral load decay rate in treatment-naive HIV infected participants receiving RAL and emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF).
Current management of HIV infection includes anti-retroviral therapy (ART). ART cannot cure the infection, making it a life-long treatment that requires sustained patient compliance and imposes significant individual and societal financial burdens on healthcare services. Furthermore, ART side effects often require medication that increases the inconveniences and financial burdens of HIV management. Of further concern is the emergence of viruses resistant to ART that can result in treatment failure. ART-free periods could provide substantial benefit. Vacc-4x is a peptide-based HIV immunotherapy that is proposed for prolongation of ART-free periods. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Vacc-4x immunotherapy can give safe ART-free period.
Infections with HIV-1 group O are found in 1 to 3 % of persons living with HIV in Cameroon. The natural history and treatment response is not well understood. The natural resistance to non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and their possible low sensitivity to protease inhibitors complicate the choice of an adequate treatment options. This observational study is aimed at evaluating the antiretroviral treatment response of HIV-1 group O infected patients in comparison with HIV-1 group M infected patients. The proposed standardized follow-up will facilitate a better understanding of the natural history and treatment specificities to improve the patients management. This is a non randomized study, open label, with standardized follow-up. A total of 171 patients
