Filter by:The investigators will evaluate the effects of an endurance exercise program on the physical performance, the well being, and indicators of metabolic function in patients with an HIV infection.
The purpose of this Phase I, open-label, single sequence drug-drug interaction trial in human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 infected patients is to investigate the potential interaction between steady-state nevirapine (NVP) 200 mg b.i.d. (twice a day) and a single dose of 400 mg TMC207 and to explore the pharmacokinetics (how the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream, distributed in the body and eliminated from the body).
The purpose of this study is to investigate T-cell mediated immune responses to HIV-1 and HCV and determine how these responses are affected by HCV treatment and correlates to response. Furthermore, to study Interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) dynamics during HCV treatment, and correlate this to treatment outcome.
This is a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized proof-of-concept trial. Two cooperating HIV-specialized centres represented by Dr. med. Hans Jaeger and Prof. Dr. Johannes Bogner are planning to perform an IIT (investigator initiated trial) with the goal to eradicate HIV in N=40 HIV-infected patients with either primary infection or chronic infection and successful HAART (Highly Active Antiretroviral Treatment) of several years. All patients will be started on a multi-drug HAART including two Nucleoside-Reverse-Transcriptase-Inhibitors (NRTI´s), one Protease-Inhibitor (PI), a CCR5-inhibitor and an Integrase-Inhibitor (INI). Decay of viral reservoirs like latently HIV-infected CD4+ T-cells will be monitored over time.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and plasma pharmacokinetics (i.e., the levels of TMC589337 and TMC589354 circulating in your blood over time) of increasing single oral doses of TMC589337 and TMC589354 and of multiple increasing oral doses followed by a single dose of TMC310911 to assess the potential boosting effect on the latter compound. In this study 3 investigational new drugs are involved. These new investigational drugs called TMC589337 and TMC589354 (from the PEPI family) and TMC310911 are in process of development for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Type 1 (HIV-1). TMC589337 and TMC589354 are novel molecules with no antiviral activity to be used to enhance the pharmacokinetics profile of a drug. TMC310911 is a novel and potent compound and belongs to a medication class called protease inhibitors (PI).
HVTN 908 is a sub study of the HIV vaccine trial, HVTN 205. The purpose of this sub study is to better understand how a person's immune system responds to vaccines, particularly HIV vaccines. More specifically, researchers will determine whether early responses in the immune system help predict strong and long-lasting immunity.
People infected with HIV are now living longer lives because of the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). However, HAART medications have been shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic dysfunction in adults. More research is needed on the effect of HAART in children. The purpose of this study is to assess cardiovascular risk factors in children infected with HIV who receive HAART medications and to determine the effectiveness of an exercise program on cardiovascular outcomes in these children.
This study involves comparing the effectiveness of treatments in HIV positive patients who may be predisposed to heart attack or stroke. The investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of two drugs, often prescribed by doctors to these patients, at lowering cholesterol and thereby making the patient less them less vulnerable to suffering a heart attack or stroke. The investigators believe that the addition of a second drug, from a different class of cholesterol lowering medications, will improve the outcome of the patients by lowering cholesterol.
The primary objective is to establish the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile at steady state of nevirapine XR in HIV infected children from >=3 to <18 years of age. This phase I trial is an open-label, multiple dose, non-randomized and cross-over study. Patients who have completed the last visit of the PK trial (visit 7) can enter into an Optional Extension Phase (OEP) until the Investigational New Drug (IND) is withdrawn; until nevirapine XR becomes approved and is available by prescription in a given country; or, the patient enrolls in a compassionate use program. During this OEP, nevirapine XR safety and efficacy information will be collected.
Current methods to assess kidney function have not been tested in people who have HIV/AIDS population. Given effects of the disease as well as potential effects of the medications, it is possible that the methods currently used to assess kidney function are not accurate. This purpose of this study is to evaluate methods to assess kidney function the HIV population. The investigators hypothesize that tenofovir causes a decrease in the secretion of creatinine which would cause an elevation in blood levels without affecting actual glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
