Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of GSK2448761 on CYP450 metabolic probes and to evaluate the 2-way interaction between GSK2448761 and two ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitors that are commonly used in HIV-infected subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the medication), safety and antiviral activity to support dose recommendations by body weight of darunavir with low-dose ritonavir (DRV/rtv), in combination with other antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), in treatment-experienced Human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV 1) infected children.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether dapivirine gel 4789 is safe for daily use by healthy women in South Africa.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether dapivirine gel 4759 is safe for daily use by healthy women in Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, South Africa and Tanzania.
In many areas of the world most severely affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, insect and water-borne diseases such as malaria and diarrheal disease are common causes of illness and death. In addition, diarrhea and malaria are more common and more severe among adults and children infected with HIV. These infections may modulate the immune system, affect the replication of the HIV virus and could result in more rapid HIV disease progression in co-infected individuals. Access to practical, inexpensive and easy to use interventions to prevent these diseases may be effective in delaying HIV progression. Current Kenya government and World Health Organization guidelines recommend the use of cotrimoxazole (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole [TMP/SMX]) to prevent co-infections, including malaria. Despite the provision of TMP/SMX to HIV-infected adults, infections with malaria and pathogens causing diarrhea remain common causes of morbidity and mortality in many resource-limited settings. In addition, TMP/SMX may not prevent all infections with malaria or other pathogens due to alternative mechanisms of action, antimicrobial resistance and non-compliance due to adverse events or other reasons. We propose a study to evaluate the impact of providing insecticide treated bednets and a simple water filtration device on markers of HIV disease progression among a cohort of ART naïve, HIV infected adults prescribed TMP/SMX in Kenya. In addition, we propose to evaluate the effect of these interventions on malaria and diarrheal disease incidence and on compliance with TMP/SMX.
The purpose of this study is to investigate T-cell mediated immune responses to HIV-1 and HCV and determine how these responses are affected by HCV treatment and correlates to response. Furthermore, to study Interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) dynamics during HCV treatment, and correlate this to treatment outcome.
People infected with HIV are now living longer lives because of the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). However, HAART medications have been shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic dysfunction in adults. More research is needed on the effect of HAART in children. The purpose of this study is to assess cardiovascular risk factors in children infected with HIV who receive HAART medications and to determine the effectiveness of an exercise program on cardiovascular outcomes in these children.
The purpose of this study is to compare the neuropsychiatric adverse event profiles of etravirine 400mg once daily versus efavirenz 600mg once daily, in combination with 2 N(t)RTIs, in approximately 150 treatment-naÃ-ve HIV-1 infected patients. Safety, tolerability and efficacy of both treatment arms will be assessed throughout the study.
The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics (how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes and eliminates a drug) (PK) of ETR when given with ATV/rtv and 1 NRTI in treatment experienced HIV-1 infected patients. In addition, safety, tolerability and anti-HIV effect of this regimen will also be studied. A total of 46 patients will be enrolled.
This phase 2 study will evaluate the safety, immunogenicity and optimal timing of two injections at three dose levels of the tgAAC09 vaccine in healthy volunteers. Study volunteers will receive two intramuscular injections of tgAAC09 or placebo at Months 0 and 6 (groups A, C, E and G) or at Months 0 and 12 (groups B, D and F) and be followed for a total of 18 months following the first injection with the exception of group G in which volunteers will be followed for 12 months after the first injection (6 months after the second injection). This study will explore whether boosting is possible, and compare a shorter and more practical six-month time interval with a twelve-month time interval.
