Filter by:To assess the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous sargramostim ( granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; GM-CSF ) in increasing and maintaining the granulocyte count in HIV-infected children who have developed granulocytopenia as a result of continuous intravenous ( CIV ) zidovudine ( AZT ). To assess the short-term and long-term effects of concomitant GM-CSF on other hematologic parameters. To assess the potential therapeutic benefit of concomitant GM-CSF and AZT on the natural history of HIV infection and associated infectious complications.
To evaluate tolerance, toxicity, and preliminary evidence of antitumor efficacy of intralesionally administered tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and to define a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for single intralesional injections. In addition, to assess the effects of TNF injections on Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) lesions as measured by P-32 magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
To determine the physiological and immunological responses in healthy HIV seronegative adult volunteers vaccinated with a) the HIVAC-1e (vaccinia-HIV) vaccine expressing the envelope glycoproteins of HIV and b) the Wyeth smallpox vaccine. The parameters to be studied will include: 1. The course of physiological responses to vaccination, including (a) lesion development, progression, and resolution; (b) physiological changes such as temperature, malaise, itching at the site, etc. and (c) any observable AE. 2. The appearance, identity, quantity, and duration of humoral antibodies against HIV and vaccinia virus. 3. The appearance, identity, quantity, and duration of cell-mediated immunity against HIV and vaccinia virus. 4. The adequacy of a procedure using a special dressing to contain viral shedding from the vaccination site. 5. The safety, humoral and cellular immune responses of a booster injection of the recombinant subunit gp160 vaccine (MicroGeneSys) in HIVAC-1e recipients.
To characterize the pharmacokinetics of orally administered FLT (in a liquid formulation) after single doses in both the fed and fasting states; to assess the effect of food on the oral bioavailability of FLT
To study the toxicity and efficacy of IV mitoxantrone hydrochloride (Novantrone) in AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma.
To determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose of SDZ ILE 964 administered by daily subcutaneous injections in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who have cytopenias (low blood cell counts). To obtain information about the biologic effects of SDZ ILE 964 administration in improving blood counts in HIV-infected patients. To obtain information about the effects of SDZ ILE-964 administration on both parameters of HIV replication and on residual immunologic function.
To compare the time to progression of CMV retinitis between oral ganciclovir and IV ganciclovir during 20 weeks of maintenance treatment. To compare the safety and tolerance of oral ganciclovir with IV ganciclovir therapy during 20 weeks of maintenance treatment. To describe the safety and tolerance of oral ganciclovir treatment when given concurrently with anti-retroviral treatment, e.g. zidovudine or ddI. To describe the survival of people with AIDS and CMV retinitis.
To provide zalcitabine ( ddC ) for patients with AIDS or Advanced ARC in whom zidovudine ( AZT ) is contraindicated, or who have failed treatment with or are intolerant to AZT and to demonstrate that ddC monotherapy is safe, and tolerable in this patient population.
To evaluate the safety, tolerance, and biological activity of filgrastim (recombinant granulocyte colony stimulating factor; G-CSF) given by daily subcutaneous injection prior to and concomitantly with erythropoietin (EPO) and zidovudine (AZT) in patients with AIDS or severe ARC. To evaluate the safety, tolerance, and biological activity of recombinant EPO given three times weekly by subcutaneous 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 three dose levels of AZT given concomitantly with G-CSF and EPO in patients with AIDS or severe ARC. To study the effects of G-CSF on neutrophil function and number in patients with AIDS or severe ARC. 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.
To assess the tolerance and toxicity profile of deoxy-3'-fluorothymidine (FLT) after multiple oral dosing for 16 weeks. To characterize the steady-state pharmacokinetics of FLT after multiple oral doses. To assess the effect of FLT on immunologic and virologic markers of HIV infection (CD4+ lymphocyte count, p24 antigen, viremia) in patients with AIDS or AIDS related complex (ARC) after multiple oral dosing for 16 weeks.
