Filter by:To evaluate the feasibility of Retrovir (AZT) in the treatment of psoriasis in HIV antibody positive patients. Retrovir has been shown to be effective in the treatment of AIDS. In addition, the administration of AZT appears to have induced a remission of psoriasis in one case study. In light of AZT's antiviral activity and potential effectiveness as an agent for the treatment of psoriasis, this would be the most likely treatment for HIV positive, psoriatic patients whose disease progresses quickly.
To determine the safety and efficacy of zidovudine (AZT) treatment combined with syngeneic or HLA identical allogeneic lymphocyte transfer in the presence of interleukin 2 (IL-2) as a treatment for AIDS. Patients with documented HIV viremia will be evaluated. Effects on virus replication, immune function, and clinical condition will be monitored with periodic virus cultures, estimates of lymphocyte type and numbers, cell surface markers, in vitro lymphocyte responses and frequent clinical evaluations.
To determine whether zidovudine (AZT) in conjunction with bone marrow transplantation prevents the reinfection of donor hematopoietic/lymphoid cells in patients with positive HTLV III antibody and large cell/diffuse histiocytic lymphoma. Patients who are candidates will be evaluated for HTLV III activity and drug levels.
Evaluate the effectiveness rate of dapsone plus trimethoprim as a therapy for the first episode of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in AIDS patients. Compare the rates and severity of adverse effects using dapsone versus trimethoprim - sulfamethoxazole (TMP / PurposeX). Establish relative toxicities with regard to suitability for outpatient treatment.
To compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerance of fluconazole single daily capsule for 14 days versus clotrimazole troche 5 x daily for 14 days in the treatment of oropharyngeal candidiasis in patients with AIDS.
To evaluate the safety, tolerance and biological activity of filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; G-CSF) given by daily subcutaneous (SC) injection prior to and concomitantly with erythropoietin (EPO) and zidovudine (AZT) in patients with AIDS or severe AIDS related complex (ARC). To evaluate the safety, tolerance, and biological activity of EPO given 3 times weekly by SC injection concomitantly with G-CSF and prior to and concomitantly with AZT in patients with AIDS or severe ARC. To study the safety and tolerance of 3 dose levels of AZT given to patients with AIDS or severe ARC concomitantly treated with G-CSF and EPO. To study the effect of G-CSF alone and in combination with EPO on HIV replication in vivo as measured by circulating HIV p24 antigen, plasma HIV viremia and semiquantitative HIV cocultures.
The purpose of this study is to make didanosine (ddI) available to children with AIDS who are clinically deteriorating on zidovudine (AZT) or intolerant to AZT and cannot enter the Phase II ddI programs due to protocol exclusion or geographic location.
AMENDED: To provide ddC for patients with AIDS or advanced ARC who have failed treatment with, are intolerant to or are ineligible to receive zidovudine (AZT) and to demonstrate that ddC monotherapy is safe, and tolerable in this patient population. Original design: To provide zalcitabine (dideoxycytidine; ddC) for patients with AIDS or advanced AIDS-related complex (ARC) who have failed treatment with or are intolerant to zidovudine (AZT) and who are also intolerant to dideoxyinosine (ddI); to demonstrate that ddC monotherapy is safe and tolerable in the treatment of patients who previously experienced either treatment failure, hematologic intolerance or myositis with AZT treatment and pancreatitis or other toxicities (except peripheral neuropathy with ddI).
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of diclazuril capsules as a treatment for cryptosporidial related diarrhea in AIDS patients who have been treated in the double-blind study # JRD 64,433/1101 and have relapsed, or de-novo patients who have been diagnosed with cryptosporidial related diarrhea and who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this protocol.
To compare the safety, tolerance and efficacy of fluconazole and amphotericin B as treatment for biopsy proven fungal infections in major organs, disseminated infection, suspected fungal infection and fungemia in adult neutropenic and non-neutropenic patients without AIDS, AIDS related complex (ARC), or extensive burns. HIV seropositive patients are allowed only if they also have a malignancy.
