Filter by:The purpose of this study is to characterise the pharmacokinetic profiles of non-nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and protease inhibitors (PIs), and the influence of the individual characteristics on the pharmacokinetic parameters in the Spanish population of HIV-infected subjects.
Lipoatrophy, the loss of body fat from particular areas of the body, is a common side effect of antiretroviral therapy (ART). The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of uridine supplementation in treating HIV infected individuals on stable ART with lipoatrophy.
A single dose of nevirapine (SD NVP) given to an HIV infected pregnant woman followed by a single dose to her infant has been shown to be an effective way of reducing the risk of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based antiretroviral regimen versus a protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimen in HIV infected infants who had or had not been exposed to SD NVP for prevention of MTCT. >> >> A five year follow up has been added to the study.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of normalization of vitamin D levels on bone density, immune and adipocyte function in HIV1-seropositive patients.
Approximately 42 HIV-negative women, aged >18 and < 50, will be enrolled in this study. Each volunteer will have a 2:1 chance of receiving Dapivirine Gel-002 versus placebo. The volunteers will receive investigational product for a total of 42 days.
Approximately 18 women will be enrolled in this single-center, double-blind, randomized Phase I study to assess vaginal tissue and fluid levels, plasma levels and pharmacokinetics of dapivirine (TMC120) gel, which will be applied for 10 consecutive days in 18 healthy HIV-negative women ages 18 to 50. Volunteers will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive 2.5mL dapivirine vaginal microbicide gel at one of three concentrations.
Approximately 112 HIV-negative women, aged 18 to 50, will be enrolled in this multicenter study at four sites. Volunteers will be randomized to dapivirine (TMC120) vaginal gel or matching placebo gel. The volunteers will receive investigational product for a total of 42 days. Volunteers will be monitored on days 7, 28 and 42 for safety, tolerability and compliance.
HIV infection is diagnosed late in a substantial proportion of patients having an increased risk of clinical progression (AIDS, new AIDS-defining event or death). The currently recommended antiretroviral therapy has suboptimal activity in this setting and potent quadruple-drug therapy has not been sufficiently evaluated. Enfuvirtide may be an appropriate candidate as the fourth antiretroviral agent, regarding its activity, its parenteral administration avoiding gastrointestinal symptoms that often lead to interruption of treatment, the lack of pharmacokinetic interactions and the absence of systemic toxicity. The aim of this study is to investigate, in a comparative intensification trial, the immunological benefit of adding enfuvirtide for 6 months to a conventional antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1 infected and severely immunosuppressed patients, naïve of any antiretroviral treatment. We postulate that addition of enfuvirtide to a first-line antiretroviral therapy consisting in emtricitabine/tenofovir combined with either efavirenz or lopinavir/r may improve immunological restoration, measured as the proportion of patients with more than 200 CD4 cells per mm3 after 24 weeks of antiretroviral therapy.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of pafuramidine maleate (DB289)versus trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX)for the treatment of mild to moderately severe Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP).
Access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is still limited in Africa (11% of patients in immediate need in June 2005). Face to the scope of the need and the constraints (unavailability and cost of viral load and CD4 cell count, lack of physicians…), WHO has developed a follow-up approach based on a simplified monitoring. However, this "simplified" approach which represents a major stake for the expanded access to ART has been little evaluated against the gold standard approach.
