Filter by:The purpose of the study is to assess the ability to swallow the Darunavir/Cobicistat (DRV/COBI) fixed dosed combination (FDC) tablet dispersed in water.
The main aim of the study is to check how much TAK-771 stays in their blood over time, side effect from the study treatment or TAK-771, how much TAK-771 participants can receive without getting side effects from it, and if TAK-771 improves symptoms of primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID). This will help the study sponsor (Takeda) to work out the best dose to give people in the future. The participants will be treated with TAK-771 for totally 27 or 30 weeks. Treatment period is consist of two periods called Epoch 1 and Epoch 2. In Epoch 1, different groups of participants will receive lower to higher doses of TAK-771 for 3 to 6 weeks. The study doctors will check for side effects from each dose of TAK-771. In Epoch 2, participants will receive TAK-771 once a 3 or 4 weeks until the end of 24 weeks. There will be many clinic visits. The number of visits will depend on the infusion cycles of study drug (every 3, or 4 weeks).
Background Active Hexose Correlated Compound is assumed to have a positive effect on immunity, including induce a phagocytic response, reduce tumor resistance, and cytokine response including interferon-gamma and interleukins. Tuberculosis patients with concurrent Human immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) might have benefit when receiving active hexose compound during tuberculosis treatment Purposes 1. To assess the clinical changes of patients who receive active hexose compound as an adjuvant to tuberculosis therapy in patients with HIV 2. To assess the difference of pro-inflammatory cytokines between standard therapy and active hexose compound adjuvant Methods A clinical trial involving patients with Tuberculosis-HIV infection Hypothesis 1. Clinical improvement is significantly different where the group who receive active compound will have the better clinical outcome 2. Lower proinflammatory cytokines are observed in people who receive active compound
Primary immunodeficiencies represent a underdiagnosed group of rare diseases which if diagnosed well and in time can be treated in an efficient manner and prevent complications that may affect the quality of patients life in an severe manner. Neither in Costa Rica nor in Central America studies or national registries regarding the prevalence and characterization of primary immunodeficiencies in adult patients exist up to now. This study reflects for the first time the epidemiologic situation of primary immunodeficiencies in a Central American country, characterizing adult patients diagnosed with primary and idiopathic immune disorders treated in two specialized immunodeficiency clinics in Costa Rica.
The indication of this study is To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a SARSCoV- 2-derived multi-peptide vaccine in combination with the TLR1/2 ligand XS15 in adults with congenital or acquired B-cell/antibody deficiency
Background: The immune system defends the body against disease and infection. Immune deficiencies are health conditions that decrease the strength of this response. Vaccines stimulate the immune system to create a defense against a specific type of germ. Researchers want to compare immune system responses to COVID-19 vaccines in people with and without immune deficiencies. Objective: To learn about how people with immune deficiencies respond to COVID-19 vaccines. Eligibility: People age 3 and older with an immune deficiency who plan to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Healthy volunteers are also needed. Design: Participants will be pre-screened for eligibility, including COVID-19 vaccination history and immune status. Participants will give a blood sample before they get their first COVID-19 vaccine. Blood will be drawn from an arm vein using a needle. Blood can be drawn at the NIH, at a local doctor's office, or at a laboratory. It may also be drawn through a fingerstick at home. Participants will also complete 2 online surveys about their health and COVID-19 history. Additional surveys are optional. Participants will give a second blood sample 2 to 4 weeks after they get the vaccine. They will complete 2 surveys about changes in their health and side effects from the vaccine. If participants get another COVID-19 vaccine dose, they will repeat the blood draw and surveys 3 to 4 weeks later. Participants may give 3 optional blood samples in the 24 months after their last vaccine. They may also give saliva samples every 2 weeks while they are in the study for 6 months following their last vaccine. Participation will last from 1 month to 2 years after the participant's last vaccine.
This study will evaluate how safe Budigalimab is and how it moves within the body in adult participants with HIV-1 infection. Budigalimab is an investigational drug being evaluated for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Study participants will be assigned to one of the 4 treatment groups and will receive a single dose of Budigalimab or placebo subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous (IV). Around 32 participants 18-65 years of age living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus will be enrolled in the study in approximately 9 sites worldwide. Each participant will receive single dose of SC and IV Budigalimab and/or Placebo on day 1 and will be followed for 24 weeks. Participants will attend weekly to every two and every four weeks visits during the study at a hospital. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests and checking for side effects. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial.
The immune system response needs to be forceful but also balanced for a rapid recovery from infection which avoids harmful overreactions. Innate immunity can adapt and respond more efficiently to secondary exposures, thanks to epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming, namely "trained immunity". ABBC1 is a combination of beta-1,3/1,6-glucan with inactivated Saccharomyces cerevisae rich in selenium and zinc for training immunity. ABBC1 includes repurposed synergistic yeast-based ingredients: a unique ß-1,3/1,6-glucan complex and a consortium of probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae, rich in Selenium and Zinc. ABBC1 induces trained immunity due to its specific chemical and tridimensional structure: its ß-glucan complex interacts with specific receptors in immune cells, provoking a release of cytokines and priming phagocytosis. Simultaneous activation of these pathways activates innate immunity and counteracts cytokine storm. ABBC1 provides highly bioavailable selenium and zinc, micronutrients with a critical role in an optimal immune responsiveness to allergy, infection, and vaccines. ABBC1 possesses proven microbiome modulating properties, which revert in immune training. Due to its high tolerance, safety and immediate availability, ABBC1 is an ideal candidate for complementary management of geriatric patients with seasonal influenza viruses or COVID-19, or to improve the immune response in the general population receiving the influenza or Covid-19 vaccines. The absence of drug interactions in ABBC1 allows a dosage that is fully compatible with the medication prescribed for all types of patients, including the elderly who are frequently polymedicated, and allows adding an additional therapeutic tool in the fight against the pandemic. This study assesses the benefits of a nutritional supplementation with ABBC1 in volunteers receiving the influenza vaccine during autumn 2020 and the Covid-10 vaccine during winter 2021.
This is a randomized controlled trial to test a combination behavioral and biomedical interventions to improve the HIV prevention and care cascades in a population of mobile men in a high priority setting (fishermen in Kenya). The intervention strategy is to recruit and train highly socially-connected men to distribute HIV self-tests and provide linkage support to men in their close social networks. The study will determine whether this social network-based approach along with small financial incentives in the form of transport vouchers can increase men's self-testing, linkage to and uptake of ART and PrEP after self-testing, virologic suppression at 6 months (for those initiating ART) and PrEP adherence (for those initiating PrEP) at 6 months. The study includes a longitudinal qualitative and mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative assessments) to identify the pathways of intervention action, and understand how the social network-based approach with support for linkage affects testing and ART and PrEP uptake and retention in men.
1. Type and Research Design A cross-sectional study design with a quantitative approach will be conducted. Cross-sectional research design is one-time research to find a relationship between the independent variable (risk factor) and the dependent variable (effect). 2.
