Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of the coadministration of multiple doses of BMS-663068 on the systemic exposure of rosuvastatin.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of rosuvastatin in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected individuals lowers inflammation in blood vessels, improves blood circulation in the small arteries that provide nutrients to the heart muscle and improves neurocognitive function.
The primary objective was to determine the mean change in HIV viral load from baseline to Week 4 compared with placebo after 4 weeks of treatment in highly experienced HIV-infected patients. Secondary objectives were to determine (1) the tolerability, hematologic and hepatic safety of different doses of alovudine and (2) the effect of baseline nucleoside genotypic susceptibility on virologic response after 4 weeks of alovudine administration
For treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1(HIV-1), publicly funded programmes tend to follow World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines to use a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) combined with two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) for first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART); however, there is a need for further data on the best treatment options for people with HIV-1 who have virological failure with this first-line regimen. The number of patients failing on their first-line regimen is increasing thereby requiring a switch to second-line treatment to reduce accumulation of drug-resistance mutations, disease progression, HIV transmission, and death. WHO guidelines recommend second-line antiretroviral therapy for adults consisting of two NRTIs + a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (PI); atazanavir (ATV) plus ritonavir (RTV) or lopinavir (LPV)/RTV are the preferred boosted PI options. This study is conducted to demonstrate non-inferior antiviral activity at 48 weeks of a dolutegravir (DTG) containing regimen compared to a WHO-recommended standard of care regimen for second line treatment, LPV/RTV + two NRTIs, in HIV-1 infected patients failing first line therapy. This study comprises of a Screening Phase (approximately 28 to 42 days), a Randomized Phase (Day 1 to Week 48 plus a 4-week treatment extension), and a Continuation Phase. Approximately 612 subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive DTG 50 milligram (mg) once daily or LPV/RTV (800/200 mg once daily or 400/100 mg twice daily, in accordance with investigator decision and local label), each added to an investigator selected background regimen of two NRTIs at least one of which needs to be fully active based on viral resistance testing at Screening. Subjects randomized to the LPV/RTV arm will either (i) continue receiving LPV/RTV and complete the study after the 4-week treatment extension at Week 52, or (ii) switch to the DTG arm prior to study completion at Week 52 and continue to have access to DTG in the Continuation Phase. Subjects randomized to receive DTG who successfully complete 52 weeks of treatment and subjects originally randomized to receive LPV/RTV but switched to DTG prior to Week 52 will continue to have access to DTG until it is either locally approved and commercial supplies are available to patients or the patient no longer derives clinical benefit, or the patient meets a protocol-defined reason for discontinuation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of repeat doses of T-cell immunotherapy (SB-728mR-T) following cyclophosphamide conditioning. CCR5 is a major co-receptor for HIV entry into T-cells. Disruption of CCR5 by zinc finger nuclease (SB-728mR), blocks HIV entry into the T-cells, therefore, protects the T-cells from HIV infection. Safety (primary outcome) and anti-viral effect (secondary outcome) of zinc finger nuclease-mediated CCR5 disrupted autologous T-cells (SB-728mR-T) will be evaluated in the study.
The protocol will study the safety and efficacy of using sofosbuvir and ribavirin for the treatment of hepatitis c in patients taking stribild.
This is a Phase IV, open label, observational study to compare the gastrointestinal tissue concentrations, inflammatory response, and viral replication of two integrase-inhibitors, raltegravir and dolutegravir, in HIV-infected volunteers who are virologically suppressed in blood plasma. The study will be comprised of 20 HIV-infected volunteers who will be enrolled equally into two groups. Group A will consist of 10 subjects receiving an antiretroviral regimen of tenofovir, emtricitabine, and raltegravir, and Group B will consist of 10 subjects receiving an antiretroviral regimen of tenofovir, emtricitabine, and dolutegravir. Participants will provide small pieces of tissue, or biopsies, which will be taken from three distinct locations of the large intestine during a colonoscopy procedure. These biopsies will be used to measure the amount of raltegravir or dolutegravir, HIV virus, and inflammatory markers present in the gastrointestinal tract.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the nutritional supplement rice bran arabinoxylan compound (RBAC) on metabolic syndrome variables in persons living with HIV. The hypothesis is that there will be a significant improvement in metabolic syndrome and immune variables in HIV-positive participants in the intervention group compared to the control group.
Truvada (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, or FTC/TDF) is a type of antiretroviral (ARV) medicine that is commonly used to treat HIV. Truvada is also used as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV infection in HIV-negative adults. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acceptability, safety, and use of daily Truvada PrEP as part of a comprehensive HIV prevention package in healthy, HIV-uninfected adolescents 15 to 19 years of age.
This study aims to describe the proportion of participants with non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (NPEP) failure, defined as NPEP non-completion (including loss to follow-up) at week 4 or primary HIV infection at week 4 or 12, excluding those participants who should and do cease study drug because: 1. The participant is found to be HIV-infected (study drugs will be ceased until the genotype of the infecting strain is determined) 2. The source is found to be HIV-uninfected The primary study objectives are: 1. To describe on-drug adherence and regimen completion rates of 28 days of NPEP using dolutegravir (DTG) with co-formulated emtricitabine-tenofovir (FTC-TDF) 2. To describe the safety of 28 days of non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (NPEP) using dolutegravir with co-formulated emtricitabine-tenofovir The study is a multi-site, prospective, open-label, non-randomized trial. One-hundred (100) eligible participants will receive dolutegravir (one tablet) with co-formulated emtricitabine-tenofovir, two tablets, once daily for 28 days based on one of the following exposures: 1. receptive anal intercourse with a source known to be HIV-infected; or 2. receptive anal intercourse with a source of unknown HIV status; or 3. insertive anal intercourse with a source known to be HIV-infected There will be 7 study visits over a 12-week period. Follow-up post NPEP is for 8 weeks i.e. to week-12 post-exposure. Any participant who is intolerant of dolutegravir will be managed at the investigator's discretion.
