The primary aim is to assess if etonogestrel (ENG) implant users taking dolutegravir (DTG) have a 20% or greater change in their ENG plasma levels, compared to women taking no antiretroviral therapy (ART). A secondary aim is to assess whether ENG implant users taking dolutegravir have significantly higher ENG plasma levels than ENG implant users taking efavirenz. This is a cross-sectional, non-randomized evaluation to compare ENG levels between 3 and 12 months post-implant insertion in three groups of women: 1) women using DTG-based ART (n=90), 2) women using EFV-based ART (n=90), and 3) women using no ART (not HIV infected) (n=90). This study will be conducted in Botswana in Southern Africa among women using the ENG implant, and involves a one-time collection of blood and questionnaire.
The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and the effects of a 6-week telerehabilitation on the three domains of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health in HIV-infected patients under highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). HIV-infected patients were randomized either into an Endurance and Resistance Training Exercise (ERTE) group or a control (CON) group. Telerehabilitation was realized in a public fitness center, with online guidance and weekly telephone advice, 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Feasibility was determined by recruitment rate, retention rate and adverse events. Secondary outcomes were impact on body composition, inflammation and coagulation (C-reactive protein, D-dimer), physical fitness and quality of life (WHOQOL-HIV).
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of doravirine (also called MK-1439 or DOR) and doravirine/lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (also called MK-1439A or DOR/3TC/TDF) in HIV-1-infected children and adolescents.
Project Rise is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an innovative, culturally congruent treatment education (TE) intervention for African Americans with HIV that targets cultural and social issues contributing to health disparities.
Dolutegravir (DTG) is recommended for both treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced, HIV infected adults and paediatric subjects aged 12 years and older and weighing at least 40 kg. One case of suspected DTG hypersensitivity (HSR) reaction from among over 1500 subjects exposed to the drug at the time of submission in 4Q2012, has been identified; this subject experienced a diffuse maculopapular rash with fever and elevated liver enzymes. Isolated rash was uncommon in the DTG programme with less than 1% of clinical trial subjects experiencing treatment related rash. The pharmacovigilance strategy for DTG and DTG-containing products is to implement a post-marketing risk management program to further quantify the risk of HSR and compare it to that of other integrase inhibitors, and to possibly determine associated risk factors. In addition, the post-authorization safety study will monitor and compare hepatotoxicity and severe skin rash following initiation of DTG or other integrase inhibitor (raltegravir (RAL) or elvitegravir (EGV) based antiretroviral regimens (ARV). Further to be able to distinguish the above symptoms and reactions caused by DTG or the other integrase inhibitor regimen from that of abacavir (ABC), known to cause hypersensitivity reaction, the integrase inhibitor groups will be compared in combinations with and without ABC. This five year-long safety study will be conducted through collaboration with EuroSIDA, a well established prospective observational cohort study of more than 18,200 subjects followed in 107 hospitals in 31 European countries, plus Israel and Argentina. This is a five year-long non-interventional prospective cohort study nested within the EuroSIDA study. The study population will include HIV positive subjects over the age of 16 years from EuroSIDA clinical sites, who are new users of DTG or other integrase inhibitors with and without ABC. Following initiation of DTG with ABC based antiretroviral regimen or DTG without ABC or regimens containing other integrase inhibitors (RAL, EGV) with or without ABC or any other DTG based ARV regimen as monotherapy or two-drug regimens, the study will aim to a) Monitor and compare hypersensitivity reaction, b) Monitor and compare hepatotoxicity, and c) Monitor and compare severe skin rash among all subjects discontinuing DTG or other integrase inhibitor regimens for any reason.
In its 2017 revision of the global guidelines for HIV care and treatment, the World Health Organization called for rapid or same-day initiation of antiretroviral treatment (ART) for eligible patients testing positive for HIV. In sub-Saharan Africa, where most HIV patients are located, studies continue to document high losses of treatment-eligible patients from care before they receive their first dose of antiretroviral medications (ARVs). Among facility-level reasons for these losses are treatment initiation protocols that require multiple clinic visits and long waiting times before a patient who tests positive for HIV is dispensed an initial supply of medications. Simpler, more efficient, accelerated algorithms for ART initiation are needed, including strategies for rapid initiation in patients with symptoms of tuberculosis, most of whom do not have active TB. In July 2017, the original SLATE study (SLATE I) completed enrollment in South Africa. One of the most striking findings of the study so far is the large proportion of patients who "screened out" of the SLATE algorithm and were referred for additional services rather than started on ART immediately. Among 298 patients assigned to the intervention arm and evaluated for immediate treatment eligibility under the SLATE algorithm, 149 (50%) screened out, two thirds of these (100/149) due to symptoms of TB. The vast majority of the TB suspects (93/100, 93%) tested negative for active TB. The SLATE II study will revise the original SLATE algorithm to provide a pathway for immediate ART initiation for some patients with TB symptoms. Under SLATE II, patients with TB symptoms will be clinically evaluated by the study nurse and will receive a urine point of care LAM (lipoarabinomannan antigen of mycobacteria) test. Those with milder symptoms and a negative LAM test will be offered immediate ART. Those with more serious symptoms and/or a positive LAM test will be asked to return the next day to receive TB test results and either immediate ART or TB treatment. All intervention arm patients (symptomatic and asymptomatic) will be asked for a sputum sample for Xpert testing, and positives will be contacted on the next day. The SLATE II algorithm will also incorporate other improvements identified from SLATE I.
DTG 50 milligram (mg) tablet was approved for marketing in Russian Federation; however, DTG is not currently available for subjects at Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Centers as it is not available for order and supply via Federal program. This study is an open-label study which will include subjects, who complete taking DTG in studies ING112276, ING113086, ING114915, ING111762, and those subjects who end participation in study 200304 in which they received either DTG or lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/RTV). DTG will be supplied at a dose of 50 mg once daily to eligible subjects until the subject stops taking DTG or transitions to commercial supply of DTG when available at AIDS Centers via the Federal program. The objective of this study is to bridge the gap between the closure of ING112276, ING113086, ING114915, ING111762 or end of subject's participation in 200304 and the actual availability of commercial DTG at AIDS Centers via Federal program for human immunodeficiency (HIV)-1-infected adult subjects in Russian Federation. The study will also investigate long-term safety of DTG for subjects continuing DTG in Russian Federation.
Studies to assess the effectiveness of interventions to prevent HIV infection depend upon robust estimates of Baseline HIV incidence rates. The changing landscape of high-risk populations, as well as the evolution of biomedical pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) interventions, requires a contemporary evaluation of HIV incidence as well as demographic, behavioral and other subject factors which may impact HIV incidence. This is a prospective cohort study to measure HIV-1 seroincidence in a study population of HIV-1 uninfected Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) who are at high-risk of HIV infection. Approximately 550 subjects who are male sex at birth and have sex with men shall enter the study, which will allow for a 10% drop out rate to maintain 500 subjects at the conclusion of the cohort. This is a single arm cohort study to determine HIV-1 seroincidence rates in high risk MSM and TGW when combined with a comprehensive prevention package including HIV and safe sex counseling, provision of condoms and water-based lubricant, and sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening and referral for treatment. It will be determined what proportion of high-risk MSM and TGW who are given a comprehensive HIV-1 prevention package will acquire HIV-1 infection.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess safety/tolerability of 2 different prime/boost regimens containing adenovirus serotype 26 (Ad26).Mos4.HIV, Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) -Mosaic or adjuvanted Mosaic and Clade C gp140 in Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected participants on suppressive antiretroviral treatment (ART).
