Filter by:The aim of the study is to assess the feasibility of HCV, HBV, HIV testing (according to the national guidelines) during consultation with Anesthesiologist before a planned surgery in Lariboisiere Hospital, Paris, France. The feasibility will be the number of tested patients divided by the number of patients who should have been tested according to the national guidelines (for each virus).
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the economic situations, discrimination experiences, and risk behaviors of transgender women. The ultimate purpose of the study is to test an intervention to improve financial conditions and reduce HIV risk behaviors in transgender women.
Background: A daily drug combination can keep human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) levels low for a long time. But if this combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) stops, HIV levels go back up. People can also develop resistance or permanent side effects. Researchers want to see if 2 new drugs can help control HIV when a person is not on ART. Objective: To see if VRC01 and 10-1074 are safe and control HIV when a person is not on ART. Eligibility: Adults 18-65 with HIV Design: All participants must agree to practice safer sex. Those who can get pregnant will have a pregnancy test every visit. Participants will be screened with: Physical exam Medicine review Blood and urine tests Some participants may need to change their HIV medicine for a brief period of time during the study. A few weeks later, participants will repeat screening tests and stop taking their HIV medicines. Interruption phase 1: Participants will have blood tests every 2 weeks, and repeat screening tests every 4 weeks. Treatment phase: Once their HIV reaches a certain level in the blood, participants will get the 2 study drugs or a salt water placebo. They will not know which they get. Each substance will be given through a thin tube in an arm vein for about 1 hour. Participants will restart their HIV medicines and repeat screening tests every 4 weeks. Interruption phase 2: Once the level of HIV in the blood becomes undetectable for 3 months, participants will again stop taking their HIV medicines and have blood tests every 2 weeks to monitor the level of HIV in the blood. Participants will restart their medicines by week 24. They will start sooner if they have certain symptoms or blood levels of HIV become too high. They will repeat most screening tests 3 times over 24 weeks.
Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) affects the immune system. The main function of the immune system is protect you from infections and other diseases such as cancer. HIV attacks and cripples the immune system making people more susceptible to a variety of infections and cancers. Currently, the standard treatment for HIV infection is a daily administration of anti-HIV drugs. These drugs are called combination antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART is very effective at suppressing HIV, but does not cure HIV infection. ART must be taken continuously for life to be effective. ART can stop being effective if not taken correctly and can cause permanent side effects. Researchers want to see if two new products can control HIV infection without the use of ART. The products are the antibodies 3BNC117 and 10-1074. Objective: To see if 3BNC117 and 10-1074 are safe and can control HIV levels in the blood of people who are not taking ART or people who stop taking their ART during the study. . Eligibility: Adults ages 18-65 with HIV who are: - on ART and willing to stop treatment for at least 28 weeks - OR not taking ART with low levels of HIV in the blood Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and blood, heart, and urine tests. Participants will get the 2 study products or salt water (placebo). A thin tube will be placed in an arm vein. Each product will be given directly into the vein for about 1 hour. To help collect blood cells to study in the laboratory, participants may have a procedure known as leukapheresis in which blood will be removed through a needle in the arm. Some of the white blood cells will be separated from the blood and used for research studies to see how 3BNC117 and 10-1074 effects HIV and the immune system. The rest of the blood will be returned to the person through another needle in the arm. Participants will have 18 study visits over 28 weeks. They will repeat some screening tests. They may have leukapheresis again. At 8 study visits, participants will get the study products or placebo. All participants will be followed for at least 24 weeks after their last dose of the study infusions. Participants who are in the Group that stops ART will be monitored closely to make sure the levels of virus in their blood do not go to high. If at any time during this the study a person develops HIV-related symptoms, or if the viral levels go up to high levels for more than 4 weeks, ART will be restarted and no further infusions of 3BNC117 and 10-1074 will be given. ...
This study will evaluate the impact of hormonal contraceptives on HIV risk associated with changes to the innate immunity in the female genital tract in a cross-sectional study. HIV risk will be evaluated by the capacity of cervical tissue to replicate HIV when challenged ex vivo and correlated to the number of CD4 T cells, DCs, and macrophages; the capacity of cervicovaginal fluid to inhibit HIV will be correlated to soluble mucosal mediators, and the vaginal microbiota. The lower genital tract samples will be collected from 120 adolescents aged 18-19 (40 using no hormonal contraception, 40 using ENG-I, 40 using LNG-IUS). For comparison, 90 adult women aged 25-45 will be equally distributed between the same groupings.
Neurocognitive disorders are still highly prevalent in the HAART era; despite a dramatic reduction in dementia cases, 15-50% of patients may develop mild or asymptomatic neurocognitive disorders (HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders, HAND). Among other hypothesis neurotoxicity of antiretrovirals has been postulated but its impact is unknown. Our hypothesis is that using drugs with reduced in vitro neurotoxicity may improve cognition in HIV-positive patients withHAND. 76 patients with HAND will be randomized to either continue their treatment or switch to emtricitabine, darunavir/cobicistat, maraviroc. Patients will be re-tested 6 months later.

HIV patients are at particular risk to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) as they exhibit multiple risk factors by the nature of their pathology. In addition, the long term exposition to antiretroviral drugs has been associated to an increased risk for CVD. HIV patients can thus potentially receive antiplatelet therapy concomitantly with their antiretroviral treatment. Clopidogrel and prasugrel are thienopyridine antiplatelet agents indicated to prevent the recurrence of ischemic events after coronary arteries stenting. These pro-drugs are mainly bioactivated by cytochromes P450 (CYP) 3A and 2B6 for prasugrel and CYP2C19, CYP3A and CYP2B6 for clopidogrel. Ritonavir is commonly used to "boost" the bioavailability of other HIV drugs through inhibition of CYP3A4 as well as CYP2B6 and CYP2C9. This interaction could therefore reduce clopidogrel and prasugrel efficacy by reducing the formation of their active metabolites. The aim of the present study is to assess the potential drug-drug interaction between clopidogrel/prasugrel and ritonavir. Two groups of 12 male subjects will be constituted (12 HIV patients under ritonavir boosted therapy and 12 healthy volunteers) in a randomized cross-over clinical trial. All subjects will also be genotyped for the CYP2C19. The pharmacokinetics of clopidogrel active metabolite and prasugrel active metabolite will be assessed. Furthermore, the pharmacodynamic response will be evaluated by two gold standard platelet inhibition tests, namely VAsodilator-Stimulated Phosphoprotein Assay (VASP) and VerifyNow® assays. The primary endpoint of this study is to compare the pharmacodynamic response to clopidogrel and prasugrel in HIV patients to that of healthy volunteers.
The purpose of this study is to find out how well the HIV medication dolutegravir gets into different parts of the body including blood plasma, special blood cells, and rectal tissue. Specifically, investigators want to compare how fast dolutegravir lowers the HIV viral load in these three different sites. In addition, as an exploratory aim, investigators seek to learn if there are any differences in how dolutegravir acts in males and females. Results of this study will provide more information about HIV medications and their limitations. In the future, this could help create better HIV medications that can get into these hard-to-reach places and eventually cure HIV infection.
The frequency of neurological and psychiatric complaints for participants taking rilpivirine, elvitegravir, or dolutegravir reaches on average 20—30% during clinical trials. The inclusion and exclusion criteria for enrolling people living with HIV are at times so selective and the subsequent descriptions of minor or severe adverse events (AE's) so often imprecise and ambiguous that one cannot extrapolate these particular research results to practicing medicine. These adverse events negatively affect the patient's quality of life and ultimately his or her good adherence to treatments. This study aims at assessing the prevalence and at describing the neurological and psychiatric adverse events related to these drugs.
