Filter by:This is an open-label, multicenter, randomized phase 1 study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of BG505 MD39.3, BG505 MD39.3 gp151, and BG505 MD39.3 gp151 CD4KO HIV trimer mRNA. These trimers are based on the BG505 MD39 native-like trimer reported in Steichen et al. Immunity 2016. The primary hypothesis is that the BG505 MD39.3 soluble and membrane-bound trimer mRNA vaccines will be safe and well-tolerated among HIV-uninfected individuals and will elicit autologous neutralizing antibodies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of HIV-1 vaccines based on chimpanzee serotypes of adenovirus expressing clade C gp140 and a CH505TF gp120 protein boost in healthy, HIV- uninfected adult participants.
Young Thai men who have sex with men (YMSM) are at high risk for HIV. However, the Thailand National HIV Strategy does not adequately cover HIV prevention for YMSM using specific methods relevant to them, and instead uses a one-size-fits all approach. Partnering with the Thailand Ministry of Public Health (MOPH), the proposed study seeks to finalize, implement and evaluate a multicomponent, multi-level, community mobilization, combination intervention (HUG-M+) to address the entire Continuum of Prevention and Care. The investigators propose to test the efficacy of this approach by conducting research in two Northeastern Thai cities, one randomized to the intervention condition, which will receive HUG-M+ and the other to the control condition, where standard of care will be provided. If HUG-M+ is found to be efficacious, it might be scaled up, with the support of the MOPH, to other regions in Thailand, elsewhere in Asia and the US.
The LATA trial will find out if taking a long-acting injectable form of HIV medicines, called cabotegravir and rilpivirine, every 2 month works as well as taking tablet HIV medicines every day in young people aged 12-19 years of age. The trial is organised by an international group of researchers from Europe and Africa, and will include 460 young people, from Kenya, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
The study is a single-centre, open-label, fixed-sequence, self-controlled clinical trial. It is planned to enroll 20 healthy adult subjects. Subjects will take SHR2150 on Day 1 and Day 21, and take efavirenz from Day 7 to Day 26.
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) for low-income people with HIV (PWH) is a key resource for reducing HIV health disparities and scaling up evidence-based interventions. As RWHAP serves >50% of US PWH, RWHAP outcomes are vital to achieving "getting-to-zero"/ Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Plan targets. As a grantee for RWHAP Part A (RWPA) funding distributed to the counties/cities severely affected by HIV, New York City (NYC) conducts regular HIV care continuum monitoring citywide and in its RWPA programs, which offer support services to reduce social and behavioral barriers to care/treatment. Local data consistently show lower viral suppression (VS) among RWPA clients in HIV care than among non-RWPA PWH in HIV care. Relative to NYC HIV cases overall, NYC RWPA clients (~14,000 per year) over-represent Black and Latinx PWH and high-poverty neighborhoods. To address local outcome disparities and to fill gaps left by data-to-care strategies and research focused on medical care (re-)linkage, the investigators propose to implement and rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of a novel 'data-to-suppression' (D2S) intervention among RWPA behavioral health and housing program clients who are in HIV care but unsuppressed. Surveillance-based reports on unsuppressed clients plus D2S capacity-building assistance will guide RWPA providers in targeting and delivering evidence-informed strategies to improve VS.
The study will test the feasibility and acceptability of using text messages and behavioral economics-based incentives to support anchoring Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) adherence to an existing routine in order to improve long-term ART medication adherence. The intervention phase of the three-phased study will constitute the pilot RCT. A sample of 150 clients who have initiated ART in the preceding three months will be randomized to either usual care (C = 50) or one of the two INMIND intervention groups (daily text message reminders with or without incentives) for three months (T1 = 50; T2=50). Subsequently, behavioral persistence will be evaluated for six months post-intervention. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, month 3, and month 9. The primary outcomes are 1) electronically measured mean medication adherence during the intervention and 2) six months post intervention, along with 3) timeliness of medication adherence during the intervention and 4) six months post-intervention.
The goal of the project is to find out how the investigators can use mobile phones to prevent HIV and address related health problems such as sexual health and mental health among adolescents. The investigators will evaluate and adapt an existing text-message and interactive voice recognition (IVR) system. IVR is Interactive voice response is a technology that allows humans to interact with a computer-operated phone system through the use of voice and DTMF tones input via a keypad. The system was designed by FHI 360 (note FHI 360 is the name of the non-profit not an acronym). FHI 360 is an international nonprofit working to improve the health and well-being of people in the United States and around the world. FHI 360 staffs more than 4,000 professionals who work in more than 60 countries. Examples of the existing content is available (https://m4rh.fhi360.org/?page_id=191) and we have a letter of support from FHI 360, included in my funded grant proposal, stating we may use and modify this content as needed. As noted below anyone can access this content by dialing #161 when in Uganda. FHI 360 sexual reproductive health information is currently available across Uganda for free and can be accessed in by dialing #161. The proposed research comprises two phases. Phase 1 involves two steps, (A) "theater pretesting" (includes brief interviews) (B) focus groups (or more detailed interviews depending on COVID-19 guidelines and described in detail below) that will involve asking adolescents to discuss new messages that would provide basic information about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as well as, a set of questions about mental health, and alcohol use. We will conduct focus groups with these adolescents and elicit responses to improve the acceptability of the messages (described in detail below). We will then modify any content as needed and conduct Phase 2 which involves (A) randomized control trial and (B) qualitative key informant interviews. Adolescents (N=200) will be randomly assigned to either the mobile phone-based intervention or to standard of care. Through this approach we will evaluate our adaptation of FHI 360's existing text message and interactive voice recognition (IVR). The adaptation will include PrEP information as well as specific mental health and hazardous alcohol use screens, promote HIV prevention for all adolescents, and support linkage to behavioral health counselors for symptomatic adolescents.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-based antiretroviral regimens in HIV-infected individuals with virological suppression.
Primary Objective: To assess PrEP adherence among sexually-active and/or injection-drug using, HIV-negative cis- and transgender women who use the "SmartPrEP" phone app to support PrEP adherence during a 12-month period of observation. Secondary Objective: To assess the acceptability of using the SmartPrEP app to support HIV self-testing and partner testing among sexually active and/or injection-drug using, HIV-negative cisgender and transgender women on PrEP. Exploratory Objectives: To describe patterns of PrEP adherence and user feedback on acceptability, utility, and features of the app; To assess correlations between self-reported sexual behavior and PrEP adherence; To assess patterns of HIV testing (self and partner testing), self-reported reasons for HIV testing, and correlations with test results.
