Filter by:The enumeration of T lymphocytes positive for the CD4 antigen is used to determine the immune status of patients with, or suspected of developing, immune deficiencies such as AIDS. The BD FACS Presto™ is an investigational automated system for in vitro diagnostic use in performing the direct enumeration of CD4 absolute count, CD4 percentage of lymphocytes, and hemoglobin (Hb) concentration in human whole blood. This is a prospective study to determine the relative bias between the investigational BD FACS Presto system and the predicate BD FACS Calibur with BD Tritest system in their determination of absolute CD4, % CD4, and Hb concentrations.
The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of cognitive-based compassion training (CBCT), a meditative practice based on Buddhist teachings, on long term emotional well-being and immune system improvement with people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLHIV).
This is a research study in Kenya that will examine the outcomes of participants aged 10-15 and 16 and older; and provider acceptability of the Shang Ring technique for male circumcision that would simplify use. The study will be in two phases: Phase 1 will explore the no-flip technique that has been used in China but will be used for the first time in Africa. Phase 2 will be a randomized trial comparing use of tropical vs. injectable anesthesia.
This is a triple cohort, open-label pilot study of the safety and antiviral activity of a single infusion of autologous CD4+ T cells genetically modified at the CCR5 gene by Zinc Finger Nucleases SB-728mR (ZFN Modified CD4+ T Cells) using electroporated mRNA with or without the prior administration of two different doses of cyclophosphamide.
Treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection requires daily oral administration of a combination of antiretroviral drugs to reduce the patient's HIV levels. Dolutegravir (DTG), a HIV-1 integrase inhibitor (INI), and Rilpivirine (RPV), a non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), are approved for the treatment of HIV infection. This study is aimed to evaluate the relative bioavailability and food effect of single doses of several experimental fixed dose combination (FDC) tablets of Dolutegravir 50 milligrams (mg) and Rilpivirine 25 mg (DTG/RPV 50 mg/25 mg) relative to co-administration of a single dose of the reference single entity products (DTG 50 mg and RPV 25 mg) in healthy adult subjects. This is a 2-part study. Part 1 will be conducted as a randomized, open label, 3-way, crossover design in 24 subjects. Part 1 will evaluate the relative bioavailability of up to 4 test formulations relative to the reference single entity products administered in fed state. Part 2 will be conducted as a randomized, open-label, 3-way crossover design in 3 distinct cohorts each with 12 subjects. Part 2 will evaluate the relative bioavailability of up to 3 most promising FDC formulation selected from Part 1 (DTG/RPV FDC-1, DTG/RPV FDC-2, DTG/RPV FDC-3) administered in fasted and fed state. Subjects will also receive the reference treatment from Part 1 co-administered under fasted conditions. This study will consist of a screening visit, three treatment periods each with a single dose of study drug separated by a washout of at least 9 days and a follow-up visit. The total duration of participation of a subject in this study will be approximately 10 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of randomizing all young men in a neighborhood to receive: 1) soccer training; 2) soccer and vocational training; or 3) a control condition, as a means to engage young men in HIV prevention. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will reduce young men's substance use and increase HIV testing.
The purpose of this study is to determine the lopinavir levels in blood of HIV and TB infected children (3-15kg) when given lopinavir/ritonavir in a 1:1 ratio with rifampicin containing TB regimen and its safety.
This study is a single-center, randomized, open-label, two cohorts, 3-way cross-over design in 36 subjects to assess the oral bioavailability of four new cabotegravir (CAB) sodium salt tablet formulations relative to the current CAB sodium salt formulation being used in the phase IIb studies under fasting conditions. All treatments will be administered as single 30 mg doses of CAB. Safety evaluations and serial PK samples will be collected during each treatment period. A follow-up visit will occur 10 - 14 days after the last dose of study drug. Treatment period doses will be separated by a 14 day washout. Participation in this study will be approximately 12 weeks.
Death in Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is usually due to cancer or chronic lung failure around 20 years of age. Despite low lymphocyte counts (CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD19), IgA and IgG subclass deficiency opportunistic and acute severe respiratory infections are rare. The prevailing wisdom is that an immunoglobulin replacement therapy is not necessary in most of the patients. However no placebo controlled trials have been performed so far. The aim of this trial was to investigate the prevalence of mild and severe respiratory infections and / or chronic cough in classical A-T patients compared to healthy controls.
Immune Activation persists in HIV-1 infected patients despite efficient antiretroviral treatment. This immune activation is responsible for immune deficiency as well as for non-AIDS related comorbidities, such as non-alcoholic Fatty liver disease, metabolic syndrome or osteoporosis. The goal of this observational transversal multicentric study is to establish the etiologic factors of persistent immune activation in treated HIV-1 infected patients (persistent de novo infection of T CD4+ cells, microbial translocation, active coinfections, immunosenescence, T CD4+ cells lymphopenia, Treg deficiency), its different forms ( activation of T CD4+ cells, T CD8+ cells, B cells, NK cells, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, endothelial cells or general inflammation) and the potential correlation between causes, forms of immune activation and emergent comorbidities (kidney, bone or liver dysfunction, metabolic syndrome).
