Filter by:The purpose of this randomized, double-blinded study is to test the safety of GSK1265744 and how well it works on reducing the amount of HIV in the blood. It will also look at how people react to and how a human body uses GSK1265744. This study will compare the effects of GSK1265744 and placebo. The study will consist of 1 or 2 parts to look at doses of GSK1265744. About 8 people will take part in Part 1 of the study receiving dose A. If additional dosing information is needed after Part 1, about 6 people will take part in Part 2 of the study receiving dose B.
The primary objective of this study is to compare steady-state plasma PK, safety and tolerability of GSK1265744 with and without etravirine
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of GSK2448761 on CYP450 metabolic probes and to evaluate the 2-way interaction between GSK2448761 and two ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitors that are commonly used in HIV-infected subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the medication), safety and antiviral activity to support dose recommendations by body weight of darunavir with low-dose ritonavir (DRV/rtv), in combination with other antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), in treatment-experienced Human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV 1) infected children.
Cigarette smoking is a major cause of illness among HIV-infected patients (non-AIDS defining malignancies (especially lung cancer), non-AIDS bacterial infections and cardio-vascular diseases). Approximately 50% of HIV-infected patients are regular tobacco smokers. Tobacco smoking cessation has well known benefits on mortality and morbidity in the general population where tobacco cessation assistance programs are increasingly implemented. However, smoking cessation interventions have never been evaluated among HIV-infected patients. This trial aims at evaluating the efficacy and safety of varenicline for smoking cessation compared with placebo.
We will conduct a sub-study of "An Innovative Telephone Intervention for HIV+ Smokers," (NCT00502827) conducted by Drs. Gritz, Vidrine, and others. This is a randomized, prospective trial that will evaluate a cellular phone delivered counseling intervention versus standard of care for smoking cessation. In our sub-study, we will evaluate rates of progression in atherosclerosis in HIV/AIDS patients who quit smoking versus those who continue smoking by measuring carotid intima-media thickness(CIMT) and biomarkers of atherosclerosis at time point baseline, 1 year, and 3 year. The biomarkers measured include high-sensitivity Creactive protein, homocysteine, and IL-6. We will also evaluate rates of progression of CIMT in those who quit smoking versus those who continue smoking, based on race, sex, state of HIV disease, comorbid diseases, and lipid profile.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether dapivirine gel 4789 is safe for daily use by healthy women in South Africa.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether dapivirine gel 4759 is safe for daily use by healthy women in Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, South Africa and Tanzania.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 infusions of KD-247 over 2 weeks in HIV-1 seropositive individuals; to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of KD-247 when administered as above; and to assess the effect of KD-247 infusions on plasma HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) load and on CD4+ T cell counts.
In many areas of the world most severely affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, insect and water-borne diseases such as malaria and diarrheal disease are common causes of illness and death. In addition, diarrhea and malaria are more common and more severe among adults and children infected with HIV. These infections may modulate the immune system, affect the replication of the HIV virus and could result in more rapid HIV disease progression in co-infected individuals. Access to practical, inexpensive and easy to use interventions to prevent these diseases may be effective in delaying HIV progression. Current Kenya government and World Health Organization guidelines recommend the use of cotrimoxazole (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole [TMP/SMX]) to prevent co-infections, including malaria. Despite the provision of TMP/SMX to HIV-infected adults, infections with malaria and pathogens causing diarrhea remain common causes of morbidity and mortality in many resource-limited settings. In addition, TMP/SMX may not prevent all infections with malaria or other pathogens due to alternative mechanisms of action, antimicrobial resistance and non-compliance due to adverse events or other reasons. We propose a study to evaluate the impact of providing insecticide treated bednets and a simple water filtration device on markers of HIV disease progression among a cohort of ART naïve, HIV infected adults prescribed TMP/SMX in Kenya. In addition, we propose to evaluate the effect of these interventions on malaria and diarrheal disease incidence and on compliance with TMP/SMX.
