Filter by:To evaluate the effect of application of Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) on the number, morphology, and antigen expression of epidermal Langerhans cells in AIDS and AIDS related complex (ARC) patients.
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of long term, bi-weekly administration of aerosol pentamidine when used as a prophylactic agent in patients who have had at least two or more episodes of AIDS-associated Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP).
To compare two lipid emulsions in the long-term parenteral alimentation of patients with AIDS in relation to: Clinical effectiveness. Effect on immunologic function. Effect on HIV load as measured by p24 antigen levels. Effect on relative HIV infectivity.
The objective of this treatment IND protocol is to make didanosine (ddI) available to patients with HIV infection (suffering from AIDS related complex (ARC) or AIDS) who have developed documented intolerance to zidovudine (AZT) and cannot enter a Phase II ddI program due to protocol exclusion or geographic location.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of diclazuril capsules compared with placebo capsules as treatment of cryptosporidial related diarrhea in AIDS patients. Treatment efficacy will be based on the drug's clinical results and on its anti-protozoan effects. Safety will be assessed by the occurrence of side effects as reported by patients at their visits and by frequent monitoring of hematology, biochemistries, and urinalysis.
To evaluate the efficacy of oral acyclovir for the treatment and suppression of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) related hairy leukoplakia (HL). To determine the long-term safety of acyclovir in the AIDS-related complex (ARC) patient with HL. To monitor the progression of HIV disease in the HL patient and compare to existing historical control data.
To make intravenous (IV) ganciclovir available to immunocompromised patients with life-threatening or sight-threatening Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, where the symptoms of the disease are too severe to allow admission to a controlled clinical study of ganciclovir therapy. To determine the safety and tolerance of 2 - 3 weeks induction course of ganciclovir IV followed by a maintenance course of ganciclovir IV for an indefinite duration. To tabulate the patient's clinical response.
To provide ganciclovir on a compassionate use basis to immunocompromised patients with serious cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections and to study safety and efficacy in this patient population.
To establish the relationship between the oral dose of zidovudine (AZT) and its hematologic toxicity. AZT has preliminarily been shown to decrease significant events and death in a group of AIDS / Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and AIDS related complex (ARC) patients followed at this time for a limited period. If these data withstand further follow-up, it appears that AZT is a potential antiretroviral agent that may have application in the use of all stages of HIV disease. At this time the optimal dose that will not cause significant toxicity is not known. If this drug has widespread application, it becomes imperative to further study both the dose and the toxicity. Patients with documented HIV viremia and who are well will be evaluated in a dose-escalating protocol for toxicity, persistent viremia, evidence of improvement of immune dysfunction, and the development of further manifestation of HIV disease. Drug levels will be monitored and correlated with the toxicity and viremia.
The objective of the Eprex (erythropoietin) Treatment Program is to provide erythropoietin for the treatment of anemia in AIDS patients.
