Filter by:The purpose of this study is to gather information on the safety and immunogenicity of an investigational smallpox vaccine in HIV infected populations.
Cancer of the anus occurs at very high rates in young men with HIV and is caused by a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV). Anal cancer has increased during the HIV epidemic despite effective therapies for HIV. Unfortunately, anal cancer presents at a late stage because there is no screening program to find it at an early stage. Rates of other cancers such as cervical cancer have been reduced through the use of Pap smears. The researchers' plan is to do the same type of screening for anal cancer as has been done for cervical cancer. If abnormalities are found then treatment can be started. The researchers hope that this approach will help to prevent anal cancer. Testing for HPV will also be done to see if this helps to detect early cancer and to see how accurate different tests, pathologists and clinical examiners are at detecting and agreeing on any abnormalities. The main outcome is the presence of any pre-cancerous or early cancer changes as determined by high resolution anoscopy (HRA). HRA involves looking through a microscope into the anus and this allows very tiny changes to be identified. Pieces of tissue can then be taken to make a definite diagnosis.
The goal of this study is to examine whether enfuvirtide (T20, Fuzeon) has continued anti-HIV activity in patients experiencing an incomplete virologic response to an enfuvirtide-based regimen.
SCOPE is an observational, prospective study of HIV-1 infected volunteers designed to provide a specimen bank of samples with carefully characterized clinical data. SCOPE specimens will be used to examine multiple questions involving virologic, immunologic, and host factors involved in HIV-1 infection, progression, non-progression, response to treatment, control of HIV-1 virus, and evolution of drug resistance.
This protocol will evaluate the safety and tolerability of the vaccine EnvDNA in healthy adults. DNA-based vaccines are being studied for the prevention of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), malaria and hepatitis. DNA vaccines have been well tolerated in human studies to date. The vaccine that will be tested in this study was made from the information that the virus uses to make a small part of the HIV. This small part is called the envelope or coating around the virus. We hope the body will make an immune response against the HIV envelope coat. Our potential HIV DNA envelope vaccine is called EnvDNA.
This is a research study to evaluate the safety of a vaccine to protect people from HIV infection. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the cause of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). AIDS is one of the most serious viral infections of our time. It is believed that all persons who contract HIV will eventually develop AIDS. Because of this, we are trying to develop new ways to prevent infection with HIV. The vaccine that will be tested in this study has been prepared from a small part of the HIV. The part of the HIV used in this vaccine is the "envelope" or coating part of the virus. In this study, researchers will evaluate how well the vaccine is tolerated, how much vaccine should be given, and determine if any side effects occur in response to the vaccination.
open-label, multiple dose, single-group, 12 week trial in HIV-infected patients with hyperlipidemia while using lopinavir/ritonavir; both male or female subjects.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of the Family Intervention: Telephone Tracking (FITT) program in improving depression, coping, and family functioning in HIV-infected individuals and their caregivers.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of combining cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and antidepressants in reducing HIV risk behavior and drug relapse rates in depressed intravenous drug users.
This study will develop and evaluate the effectiveness of tailored web-based messages in promoting condom use among young adults.
