Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate effect of food (in fasted and fed conditions) on the bioavailability of CAI VH4011499.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance, usability, and result interpretation of the INSTI® HIV Self-Test (referred to INSTI® HIV ST) in the intended use population across the United States (US). The INSTI® HIV Self-Test is a single use in vitro test that is used as a self-test for the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 in human fingerstick blood. This study is designed to evaluate INSTI® HIV ST performance in the hands of non-professionals and untrained lay users who are inexperienced in HIV blood-based self-testing. The study aims to: To evaluate the clinical performance (i.e., diagnostic sensitivity and specificity) of the INSTI® HIV Self-Test in a lay user population. To assess the user's comprehension of the INSTI® HIV ST results (e.g., interpreting positive, negative, and invalid results). To evaluate the usability of the INSTI® HIV ST and understand users' experience in performing the test.
The overall goal of the P4P: Peers for PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) study is to pilot test a peer-led and delivered intervention for biomedical HIV prevention that is tailored to women who engage in sex work in southwestern Uganda. This study will evaluate whether this intervention is feasible, acceptable, and increases uptake of biomedical prevention.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two multifaceted strategies (standard vs enhanced) for scaling Bridges in a two-arm Hybrid III effectiveness-implementation cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) in adolescent and youths affected by AIDS [AYaAIDS] (ages 13-17 years) from 48 schools in the Greater Masaka region of Uganda. The main aims of the clinical trial are: Aim 1. Compare the implementation effectiveness of the standard implementation strategy vs. an enhanced implementation strategy. The investigators will assess fidelity to Bridges (primary implementation outcome) and sustainment of Bridges (exploratory implementation outcome). Aim 2. Determine the clinical effectiveness of Bridges implemented via a standard vs. enhanced implementation strategy. Aim 3: Explore implementation processes, mechanisms, and determinants. Aim 4. Compare the cost and cost-effectiveness of the two implementation strategies. Using an activity-based ingredients approach, the investigators will examine how much each strategy costs to achieve a unit of effect.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effectiveness of a resilience intervention and an adherence intervention in improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among perinatally infected HIV positive children and their HIV positive mothers in China. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Whether baseline resilience and treatment adherence are associated with the HRQoL; 2. Whether the resilience intervention will improve the mediators associated with intervention sessions, such as positive coping and social support, the proximal outcome of resilience factors, the distal outcome of HRQoL, and dyadic level outcomes such as dyadic coping; 3. Whether the adherence intervention will improve the mediators associated with intervention sessions, such as adherence information and behavioral skills, the proximal outcome of self-reported adherence, the distal outcome of HRQoL, and dyadic level outcomes such as dyadic coping; 4. Whether the enhanced mediators (e.g., positive coping and social support) associated with the resilience-intervention sessions at the end of the intervention will transmit the effect of the resilience intervention on the increases in resilience factors during follow-ups; 5. Whether the improved mediators (e.g., adherence information and behavioral skills) associated with the adherence-intervention sessions at the completion of the intervention will transmit the effect of the adherence intervention on the increases in adherence in follow-ups. Participating mother-child dyads in the two intervention arms will receive two sessions of dyadic intervention. Researchers will compare the above-described outcomes between participants in the two intervention arms and the control arm (treatment as usual) to see the effectiveness of the interventions.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate at 96 weeks the safety with respect to hepatitis B control of 2 treatment reduction strategies for patients with previously controlled HIV-HBV co-infection on continuous triple therapy
Given that WLWH are more likely to develop persistent HPV infection and CC, effective screening and the management and treatment of pre-cancerous cervical abnormalities is critical to decrease the global burden of cervical cancer. The vast majority of WLWH live in SSA, where resources are more constrained. Therefore, simple, affordable, and effective tools are needed for the prevention of cervical cancer in SSA. In this setting, the best method for treatment of screen-positive WLWH has not been determined. The proposed study will compare the effectiveness of TA vs. LEEP, for treating precursor lesions (CIN 2/3) and HPV infection in WLWH, identify the determinants of treatment failure, and develop a strategy to predict patients in whom treatment is likely to fail so that alternative treatments can be provided. Moreover, local evidence of the optimal method of treatments is necessary to inform health policy and promote adherence.
People with HIV are at a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) due to the effects of the virus and its treatment. Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs), a common HIV treatment, are associated with increased CVD risk and metabolic issues, such as weight gain and high blood pressure. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, however, have been working well in reducing CVD events and hospitalizations due to heart failure, irrespective of diabetes presence. They also help in reducing weight and blood pressure. Pitavastatin has shown to work in lowering CVD events in people with HIV, but its availability is limited. This benefit is thought to be common to all statins, but this has not yet been confirmed. This study will examine the impact of dapagliflozin vs. placebo on metabolic parameters in people with HIV with high metabolic risk who are on INSTI-based ART.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn if an intervention that trains Gancheros (people who provide injection services in exchange for drugs or money) to conduct risk-reduction outreach could help lower risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and overdose among migrant Puerto Rican people who inject drugs (PWID) in New York City. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can the Ganchero intervention be carried out successfully and will Gancheros and their clients like it? - Could the Ganchero intervention help Puerto Rican PWID who are clients of Gancheros use sterile syringes and carry naloxone (a medication to reverse opioid overdoses) more often? Gancheros who participate in the trial will be asked to attend a 6-session training on HIV, HCV, and overdose prevention and then to share key prevention messages and supplies (e.g., naloxone, sterile syringes and other injection equipment) with their clients during 4 months of outreach. The intervention will be carried out with Gancheros and their clients in two Bronx neighborhoods, one after the other, so the investigators can see if clients in the neighborhood that received the intervention first have better outcomes than clients in the neighborhood that did not yet receive the intervention.
This study aims to assess any impact of VH4524184 on the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of an ethinyl estradiol (EE) and norethindrone acetate (NEA) containing oral contraceptive (OC) administered to healthy adult female participants.
