NCT ID: NCT06403787 Completed - Clinical trials for Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Effect of Aerobic Training and Ginkgo Biloba on Lipids Levels in HIV-positive Patients Undergoing Antiretroviral Treatment

Start date: May 1, 2022
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The administration of antiretroviral drugs (ART) has significantly prolonged the life expectancy of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and delayed the progression towards Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). However, this has led to the emergence of other conditions, such as dyslipidemia, among individuals undergoing ART. Dyslipidemia is commonly managed with statin therapy, which has not been reported to have pharmacological interactions with ART. Additionally, ginkgo biloba extract (GBS) has been observed to improve blood lipid concentrations, and aerobic exercise training (EXA) interventions have shown positive modifications in these values. Given this context, the present study aims to investigate the potential positive effects of an aerobic training program and the consumption of ginkgo biloba extract on plasma lipid concentrations in HIV-positive individuals. The study seeks to provide insights into novel strategies for managing dyslipidemia in this population.

Start date: August 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The primary aim of this study is to learn whether the frequency of lower urinary tract symptoms differ between the males with seronegativity for HIV and males living with HIV.

NCT ID: NCT05674682 Completed - HIV Infections Clinical Trials

Seroincidence Study Among Men Who Have Sex With Men and Transgender Women - The ImPrEP Seroincidence Study

Seroincidence
Start date: October 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is an effective prevention strategy in which HIV-negative individuals take antiretroviral drugs (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and emtricitabine - TDF/FTC) to reduce HIV acquisition. Clinical studies have shown that the TDF/FTC combination protects MSM and transgender women against HIV infection. According to the PROUD study, PrEP can decrease the risk of HIV infection among MSM by 86% (90% CI 64-96). The international community recognizes that PrEP can be an additional tool in the framework of a combination prevention package for those most at risk of contracting HIV. Data on HIV incidence among MSM and trans women are largely unknown. In Brazil, Mexico and Peru, data on the incidence of HIV among MSM and trans women are very scarce, limited to small cross-sectional studies.Current methods used to determine HIV-1 incidence have many limitations. These methods include mathematical modeling, retrospective calculations of AIDS case reports, age-based prevalence determinations, and prevalence determinations with multiple rounds of longitudinal surveys to estimate HIV incidence, which require numerous assumptions and inputs and can pose additional challenges in the era of expansion of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and increased survival of HIV-1 infected individuals. On the other hand, prospective longitudinal cohort studies of high-risk individuals can be used to estimate incidence; however, they are often labor-intensive, complex, very expensive, difficult to implement in most countries, and have recruitment biases. Laboratory methods can be unbiased and do not require complicated assumptions and case-by-case weighting. The cross-sectional use of Recent HIV Infection Tests (TRIs) based on biomarkers offers, in principle, accessible, reliable and low risk of bias options for estimating incidence.

NCT ID: NCT05306249 Completed - HIV Seropositivity Clinical Trials

Effects of Cannabidiol (CBD) on the Activation of Autophagy and Inflammation Genes, Functional Consequences in Virologically Controlled HIV-infected Patients

GALIG-CBD
Start date: May 16, 2022
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Autophagy and apoptosis are natural cellular mechanisms which consist for the first in a recycling and elimination process of potentially toxic cellular waste, and for the second in a process of cellular suicide when it becomes abnormal and "not" repairable, notably by autophagy. A deficit in autophagic function at the cellular level can lead to chronic inflammation and accelerated cellular senescence. Apoptosis is a beneficial phenomenon because it eliminates abnormal cells that could endanger the organism if it survives (e.g. karyotypic atypia). Uncontrolled, it can be deleterious if apoptosis is hypo or hyperactive.

NCT ID: NCT05074251 Completed - HIV Infections Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Secondary Distribution of HIV Self-screening Tests by Women With HIV

HIVSSSA
Start date: April 20, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Many South African men do not visit clinics or get tested due to multiple real and perceived barriers. Nkangala District has significant gaps to identifying PLHIV who are not on ART, reaching their ART targets, especially in adult men. Over 65% of PLHIV not on ART are men, which is a gap of over 39,000 men living with HIV needing to be tested and initiated on ART. - To improve case finding among men in Nkangala we will evaluate how best to reach partners of PLHIV (newly diagnosed or on ART) with index testing by using HIV self-screening (HIVSS) and linkage to ART start. - Secondary distribution of HIV self-screening kits (HIVSS), whereby clients bring HIVSS kits to their partners, addresses barriers by enabling partners to screen themselves at their convenience and in the privacy of their homes. Study Objectives: BroadReach in collaboration with UCLA, UCT and Nkangala DOH will pilot test an innovative index partner HIVSS strategy in one urban and one rural clinic to evaluate acceptability, barriers, and efficacy of secondary HIVSS distribution in a randomized control trial enrolling women newly diagnosed with HIV or on ART. - In the intervention arm, women will receive counselling on how to use HIVSS, how to encourage their male partner to screen, and 2 oraquick HIVSS with instructions and invitation to return for confirmatory testing. - In the standard of care arm, index women will receive counselling on the importance of disclosure to their family and partner(s) and referral for HIV testing (per South African national guidelines). Study design: Randomized control trial of n=180 WLHIV (90 in each arm) in four facilities (urban and rural) in the Nkangala district ensure that the results are generalizable.

NCT ID: NCT04983212 Completed - Peri-Implantitis Clinical Trials

Peri-implantitis in HIV-positive Patients With Different Dental Prosthesis

PERIHIV
Start date: March 20, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Dental implants are widely used in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients, but the interaction between immune status and success of implant therapy, especially in such patients, is not clear. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of peri-implantitis in HIV-positive patients and to evaluate the presence of a possible correlation between the immunological profile and serological values of the same HIV-positive patients, of peri-implantitis, and of possible differences between all-on-4 and single crown/bridge prostheses in terms of peri-implant disease and the variables analyzed. This cross sectional study included 85 adult HIV-positive patients (394 implants) with at least one dental implant loaded for more than a year who were followed for at least one year. The patients were divided into patients with all-on-4 prosthesis and those with single crowns/bridges to assess the differences between the two types of prostheses in the inflammatory state, in the presence of mucositis and peri-implantitis, and in the variables analyzed. The following clinical parameters were assessed: full-mouth plaque score (FMPS), full-mouth bleeding score (FMBS), probing pocket depth (PPD) in six sites per implant and tooth (deepest value for each implant and tooth was registered), PI and BoP measured as presence/absence at six sites per implant and tooth, presence of suppuration, mobility (measured by manual palpation) and number of lost teeth.

NCT ID: NCT04963712 Completed - HIV-1-infection Clinical Trials

Zadaxin and HIV-positive Patients With Immune Reconstitution Disorder

Start date: September 1, 2021
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Zadaxin® in the treatment of HIV-positive patients with immune reconstitution disorders. Researchers previously used Zadaxin® (Thymosin α-1, Tα1) as an immune adjuvant for people infected with HIV-1 and found that Tα1 and Interferon-α (IFN-α) have a synergistic effect in immune enhancement. In addition, studies have found that the triple combination of Tα1, IFN-α and Zidovudine has better tolerability, safety and efficacy. After treatment, patients have lower HIV RNA and more stable high CD4+ T cell counts. In addition, extensive studies on the administration of Tα1 in thymectomized mice have demonstrated its ability to promote immune reconstitution. The researchers hypothesized that Zadaxin® has a better therapeutic effect on HIV-positive patients with immune reconstitution disorders, can increase the CD4+T cell count, reduce the viral load, and has better safety.

NCT ID: NCT04682990 Completed - Clinical trials for Tuberculosis, Pulmonary

DIAGNOSIS of PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS Through HUMAN BREATH (TBENOSE)

TBENOSE
Start date: January 5, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top 10 causes of death in the world. More than 95% of TB deaths are in middle- and middle-income countries. Low incomes and long-term diagnosis promote this persistence. In 2017, Cameroon was the 3rd in the top of 20 countries with the highest estimated numbers of incident TB cases among people living with HIV, based on the severity of their TB burden. World Health Organization (WHO) encourages the introduction of rapid, non-invasive and cheaper screening tests. In this scope, this study proposes the collection of exhaled breath samples and their analysis through the electronic nose made in Tor Vergata University (TV eNose) to diagnose TB and TB-HIV on their participants.
