Filter by:This study will evaluate the effectiveness of CenteringPregnancy Plus, a group prenatal care treatment program with an HIV/sexually transmitted disease prevention component, in reducing health risk behaviors in pregnant teenagers seeking services at Community Health Centers in the New York metropolitan area.
We are testing the safety and efficacy of a 16-wk yoga lifestyle intervention on oral glucose tolerance, fasting lipid/lipoprotein levels, body composition, cardiovascular function, quality of life, CD4+ T-cell counts and viral load in HIV-infected men and women with components of The Metabolic Syndrome. We hypothesize that a yoga lifestyle intervention will improve metabolic, anthropometric, cardiovascular disease parameters, and quality of life domains without adversely affecting immune or virologic status in people living with HIV.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety at 48 weeks between LPV/r monotherapy and 2 NRTIs + LPV/r therapy in patients failing a standard NNRTI-based treatment regimen. Also, to evaluate the short-term 24-week efficacy and safety of Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) monotherapy and 2 NRTIs+LPV/r therapy in patients failing a standard NNRTI-based treatment regimen as an interim analyses when 50% of the patients in each arm have reached 24 weeks after randomization. Last, to define risk factors for monotherapy failure in HIV-treated individuals Hypothesis. The rate of virologic suppression is not inferior in the monotherapy arm.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy (clinical, immunological, virological outcome), pharmacokinetics and safety of lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) monotherapy maintenance in Thai children after viral load suppression with double boosted protease inhibitors (PIs).
This Phase III, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial enrolled HIV-negative women from 4 sites in 3 countries (Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa). The study's purpose was to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a once-daily Truvada® pill (compared with placebo) in preventing HIV among HIV-uninfected women at risk of becoming infected through sexual intercourse. The study population included HIV-antibody-negative women between the ages of 18-35 who were at risk of HIV acquisition through sexual intercourse. Each participant was randomized to take either a daily single oral tablet of Truvada®, which is a fixed-dose combination of emtricitabine (FTC; 200 mg) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF; 300 mg), or an identical placebo. After enrollment, each participant was followed every four weeks. All participants were followed for an additional eight weeks after study drug was stopped. Incidence rates of HIV infection were compared between the two groups (active drug and placebo) using the intent-to-treat principle.
The subjects in this research study will be 159 men and women with HIV infection who have a history of chronic nausea for three months or greater and show evidence of two or more episodes of nausea and/or report a duration of two hours or more (per day) in baseline symptom diaries. Subjects will be randomized (by chance) to one of three conditions: Condition 1, subjects receive Standard acupuncture (active treatment); Condition 2, subjects receive Individualized acupuncture based on Traditional Chinese Medical Diagnosis (active treatment); Condition 3, (Control Group), subjects receive Sham acupuncture. Subjects in Conditions 1, 2, & 3 will attend scheduled sessions over 24 weeks.
The objective of this non-randomized, controlled, trial is to evaluate the optimal time to approach newly incarcerated jail inmates for routine opt-out HIV testing in a manner that maximizes the number of individuals able to demonstrate capacity to consent and willingness to receive HIV testing.
CIT2 is a strategy for targeting HAART (Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy) to the CNS (Central Nervous System) in patients with HIV associated neurocognitive impairment (HNCI). The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of CNS-targeted (CNS-T) as compared to non-CNS-targeted (non-CNS-T) HAART in treating HNCI globally and in different domains of functioning known to be affected by HIV. It is hypothesized that participants in the CNS-T arm will have greater improvement in neurocognitive functioning than those in the non-CNS-T arm. The secondary goal of the study is to compare participants assigned to CNS-T and non-CNS-T HAART on measures of CNS and systemic HIV suppression (undetectable CSF and plasma VL). It is also hypothesized that although CSF viral suppression will be more frequent in the CNS-T arm, plasma viral suppression will be similar in the two treatment arms.
This single arm study will assess the pharmacokinetics, safety and activity of saquinavir (Invirase hard gel capsules, film coated tablets or opened capsules) boosted by combination with ritonavir, in HIV-1 infected infants and children between the ages of 4 months and 6 years. Patients will commence treatment with saquinavir 50mg/kg bid plus ritonavir 2.5mg/kg or 3.0mg/kg (dependent on body weight), and a background antiretroviral regimen. If drug exposures are found to be dissimilar to those previously seen in older children and adults, or are associated with toxicities, subsequent dose adjustments will be made. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
Monocentric study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the recombinant MVA-HIV multiantigen vaccine MVA-mBN120B in HIV-infected subjects. 15 subjects will receive immunizations at day 0, after 4 and 12 weeks at a dose of 2E8 TCID50 MVA-mBN120B. The vaccine will be administered subcutaneously.
