Filter by:Cystatin C, a protease inhibitor produced by most nucleated cells, is freely filtered by the kidneys, and its plasma assay reflects the GFR. Compare, in HIV patients, the predictive performance of 11 formula to estimate GFR based on assay plasma cystatin C with that of the MDRD formulas.
Randomised Controlled Trial to Assess Accuracy, Feasibility, Acceptability, Cost Effectiveness and Impact of Point of Care CD4 Testing on HIV Diagnosis, Linkage to Care and Time to Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation among HIV Infected Patients in Rural Western Kenya.
Some genetic polymorphisms are known to interfere with ARV metabolism and are therefore likely to explain some of the inter-individual variations (efficacy,toxicity,resistance) observed during ART. The most common form of human DNA variations consists of a change of a base in the nucleotide sequence of an individual at a given position, the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Therefore,the purpose of this research will be the identification and characterization of the clinical impact of several SNPs in gene coding for transport proteins (e.g.ABCB1,ABCC1) and biotransformation enzymes (e.g.CYP3A4,CYP2B6) known to be involved in the pharmacokinetic pathway of selected ARV drugs for which the therapeutic response is difficult to predict. Aside,the influence of these SNPs on the response to treatment (CD4+cell,viral load) and on the toxicity will be evaluated. Plasma concentrations of ARV drugs correlate with therapeutic efficacy but also with the risk of toxicity and of virological failure, which is the basis of the therapeutic drug monitoring. However,given the intracellular location of HIV, analyzing intracellular drug concentrations is fundamental and the investigators will also focus of this new topic.
Genital mucosa is the main way of HIV penetration. Many cells can be involved (epithelial cells, Langerhans cells) and antibodies may also play a critical role. The investigators' study aims to precise the role of each type of cells, the interaction cell-cell and cell-antibodies.
This is a phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and the antiretroviral effects of the highly neutralizing anti-HIV-1 monoclonal antibody 10-1074 in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected individuals.
The purpose of this study is to identify the effects that ageing may have on the drug levels, the safety and the efficacy of Dolutegravir. These effects will be measured in people who are aged 60 or over and taking antiretroviral therapy for HIV infection. Dolutegravir is a newly licenced anti HIV medication, which belongs to a class of drugs called Integrase Inhibitors. It is taken with two other wellknown agents, Abacavir and Lamivudine, as part of a one tablet once a day regimen, called Triumeq. There is little data available on Dolutegravir in the context of older age. The HIV population is ageing and the investigators know that older age can significantly change the effects and side effects of medications, including that of antiretrovirals. The investigators aim to investigate the treatment outcomes in older people taking Dolutegravir including the tolerability, efficacy and safety of the drug. The study will also assess the quality of life (wellbeing of individuals) and cognition (mental abilities) of people aged 60 or over, taking Dolutegravir. The results from this study may inform treatment choices and monitoring in this population in the future. The duration of involvement in the study will be 6 months with an additional screening visit and a checkup visit 10 days after end of study visit.
This is protocol is generated in response to the exploratory R21 from the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIH/NIAID) for US-Russia collaborative research in HIV/tuberculosis (TB). Given the exploratory focus of the protocol and the short time frame of funding (2 years) we will study TB in Irkutsk, in Eastern Siberia. Irkutsk is one of the hardest-hit areas in all of the Russian Federation for drug-resistant TB and poor TB outcomes. Specifically, the investigators will examine the factors of anti-TB drug pharmacokinetics, TB drug-resistance mutations and virulent/transmissible M. tuberculosis sublineages. This foundational work will inform future diagnostic strategies and therapeutic regimens.
The scientific purpose of this study is to look at how substance use may relate to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among young black men who have sex with men in Atlanta.
The goal of this study is to identify ways for implementing small prizes allocated by a drawing to improve adherence to antiretroviral medication in an HIV clinic in Kampala, Uganda. The study is called Rewarding Adherence Program (RAP).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of administering SB-728mR-HSPC after conditioning with busulfan.
