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 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.
The purpose of this study is to identify 1 or more doses of parenterally administered VH4524184 that are safe, well tolerated and yield a PK drug exposure profile necessary to deliver a long-acting antiretroviral therapy for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
This study utilizes a randomized controlled trial design to evaluate the efficacy of couples motivational interviewing (MI) to reduce the frequency and severity of illicit drug use and frequency of HIV transmission risk behavior (TRB). Participants are randomized to one of two conditions: couples MI or standard couples HIV testing and counseling (CHTC).
