Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if 30-day survival will be improved with addition of prednisone to standard tuberculosis (TB) therapy.
This study will look to see if increasing the standard dose of Kaletra is tolerated and if it will lower viral loads to undetectable levels. This study will also look at the pharmacokinetic data (amount of Kaletra in blood at different times).
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of a three-dose regimen of an adenovirus-based HIV-1 vaccine in healthy South African adults.
To study the effects of switching from Kaletra to Boosted Reyataz on glucose, lipids and fat in HIV-infected patients.
To evaluate the safety of LFn-p24 administered at three different doses with Alhydrogel given intramuscularly To evaluate immune responses to LFn-p24 with Alhydrogel at three different doses given intramuscularly
We believe that there is a strong rationale for the study of IDV/r 600/100 bid as a boosted-PI combination that, in the presence of RMP, is able to produce a satisfactory PK profile associated with adequate antiretroviral potency, tolerability and efficacy.
With HIV/AIDS increasingly considered a chronic disease, 24-, or 48-week data from antiretroviral studies are no longer sufficient. Only with long-term follow-up and outcome data will shed some much-needed light on the answers of questions that have stumped us for several years. Data from a large observational cohort of patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy will provide further insights into the long-term safety and durability of various antiretroviral therapeutic approached, the efficacy of HIV viral load and CD4 cell counts as predictors of disease progression and mortality, and the importance of adherence.
Several studies from HIV-NAT have demonstrated high nevirapine, indinavir, saquinavir and lopinavir/r levels when compared to Caucasian patients. Until now, the pharmacokinetics of atazanavir have not been explored in a Thai population. We postulate that ATV levels, as with other PIs, are higher in Thai people. Therefore, the level of ATV in ATV/RTV 300/100 OD may be higher than the acceptable range and could be associated with ATV related toxicity.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of two doses of nevirapine (NVP) given only to the infants or lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) from 28 weeks gestation with single dose (SD) NVP given to the mothers plus two doses to the infants, in addition to zidovudine (ZDV) prophylaxis (from 28 weeks' gestation and for one week of ZDV in neonates) for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1.
In southern Africa, TB is the most common first AIDS-defining condition. Initiating Antiretroviral therapy (ART) in HIV positive TB patients will lead to the inclusion of the majority of HIV/AIDS patients currently fulfilling the criteria for therapy. Establishing an effective intervention to increase treatment adherence in this group is essential for the successful roll out of ART in the region. This proposed randomized controlled study aims to compare the effectiveness of two adherence support programmes (ASP) for use in patients with HIV-related TB in the context of CAPRISA AIDS Treatment (CAT)programme in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa; the enhanced adherence support programme (E-ASP) or the standard adherence support programme (S-ASP). S-ASP consists of three counselor presented, group education sessions. E-ASP is an extension of S-ASP and is based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) Model of Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy, a theoretical model initially developed to reduce HIV risk behavior. The E-ASP will consist of several interconnected components: 1) development and maintenance of an educational and supportive milieu at the CDC Clinic, 2) provision of five structured educational, support and behavioral skills building sessions, and (3) three weekly ART planning sessions.
