Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a Response Guided Therapy of boceprevir 800 mg dosed three times a day (TID) orally (PO) in combination with Peginterferon (either alpha 2b or alpha 2a) and Ribavirin in HIV/HCV genotype 1 infected patients that failed to previous HCV therapy.
This multicenter, open-label, noncomparative study evaluates two oral formulations of raltegravir (MK-0518, film-coated tablet and chewable tablet) in combination with other antiretroviral agents for safety, tolerability, and antiretroviral activity in treatment-naive or treatment-experienced Russian children and adolescents infected with human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1). As raltegravir is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral therapies (ARTs) for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in pediatric patients in the United States (US), this study is designed to gain local treatment experience on the use of raltegravir in the pediatric HIV-infected population in Russia.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate noninferiority (a new treatment is equivalent to standard treatment) in terms of the percentage of patients who have plasma human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 (HIV-1) ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels less than 400 copies per mL after 48 weeks of randomized treatment with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine/rilpivirine (TDF/FTC/RPV) versus TDF/FTC/efavirenz (TDF/FTC/EFV).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of Sendai HIV vaccine SeV-G(NP) given intranasally and Ad35-GRIN administered intramuscularly in prime-boost regimens in HIV-uninfected, healthy adult volunteers.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a regimen containing elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (E/C/F/TDF) versus ritonavir (RTV)-boosted atazanavir (ATV/r) plus emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-naive adult women.
This will be a pilot, open label study involving 65 participants. All participants will be followed until seroconversion or until the last enrolled participant completes one year of follow-up, whichever happens first. Participant study number will be given at the screening visit, prior to inclusion in the study. The chosen intervention and study regimen are based on the dynamics of viral infection and the pharmacokinetics of the study drugs. In order to inhibit reverse transcription nucleoside and nucleotide analogues need to be phosphorylated intracellularly. On the other hand, available data indicate that it takes approximately 10 hours between exposure and HIV viral integration, offering a window of opportunity for Raltegravir to block integration and thus prevent infection, given that this drug does not need to be metabolized to exert its effect. The intervention will be maintained for 4 weeks following exposure, in accordance with Brazilian and CDC guidelines for PEP.
This is a multicenter, single arm, 48-week open-label study of FDC ELV/COBI/FTC/TDF [Stribild] in acute HIV infection. Study sites will be members of the Duke-UNC Acute HIV Infection Study Consortium. Participants will be enrolled for 96 weeks. Clinical care and study drug (ELV/COBI/FTC/TDF) will be provided for the first 48 weeks. After week 48, clinical care but not study drug will be provided through week 96. A study participant suppressed at week 48 can continue on FDC ELV/COBI/FTC/TDF. The primary hypothesis is that once daily fixed-dose combination elvitegravir (ELV), cobicistat (COBI), emtricitabine (FTC), and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) will rapidly reduce viral replication to <50 copies RNA/ml in participants with acute HIV infection. The secondary hypotheses to be considered are 1) virologic response rates as measured by plasma HIV RNA levels will be non-inferior or superior to a historical group of participants from the PHI cohort treated with EFV/FTC/TDF, 2) compared to historical controls treated with EFV/FTC/TDF, plasma HIV RNA will decrease more rapidly in PHI participants treated with ELV/COBI/FTC/TDF, 3) compared to historical controls treated with EFV/FTC/TDF, immune activation as measured by the proportion CD4+ and CD8+ cells expressing HLA-DR and CD38+ will decrease more rapidly in PHI participants treated with ELV/COBI/FTC/TDF, 4)in a subset of participants samples will be obtained from compartments such as the gastrointestinal tract, and lymphoid tissues to assess changes over time in parameters such as HIV-1 RNA, immunologic responses to HIV, and tissue and anatomic reservoirs. We hypothesize that treatment with the ELV/COBI/FTC/TDF will demonstrate improved viral clearance in these compartments as compared to historical controls treated with EFV/FTC/TDF. 5) in a subset of participants who remain suppressed on therapy, resting CD4 cells with replication-competent HIV-1 (latent reservoir) will be quantitated and compared to similar measurements in PHI participants treated with EFV/FTC/TDF. In addition, we will compare these results to those measured in HIV-1 infected participants treated and 6) ELV/COBI/FTC/TDF will be well tolerated, and the proportion of participants who require treatment modification will be less than that observed in participants treated with EFV/FTC/TDF.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of rilpivirine hydrochloride in combination with other anti-retroviral (ARV) medications for the treatment of ARV-naive (patients who have not been exposed to ARV) Filipino patients with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection.
Background: - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection appears to cause problems with blood vessel function. These problems may add to some thinking and mood disorders found in people with HIV infection. Researchers want to evaluate HIV infected patients to see if blood vessel function contributes to thinking and mood disorders, such as early dementia and depression. To do so, they will compare study results between people with and people without HIV infection. Objectives: - To compare the thickness of blood vessel walls between people with and without HIV infection. - To study the relationship between blood vessel thickness and thinking and mood disorders. Eligibility: - Individuals between 25 and 55 years of age who have HIV infection. - Healthy individuals between 25 and 55 years of age. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. - Participants will have imaging studies of the brain and major blood vessels in the head and neck. - Participants will also have neuropsychological testing. These tests will look at memory, learning and thinking ability, attention, and mood. - Participants will have the option of coming back for repeat blood tests every six months and repeat imaging studies and neuropsychological tests every year, over 1- 4 years period.
The aim of the investigators study is to demonstrate in healthy subjects and a cohort of patients infected with HIV, the presence of miRNAs in circulating peripheral blood microparticles (MPs).
