Filter by:Prospective, open-label, single arm, non-randomized, proof-of-concept study. Eligible patients will sign a written informed consent and will be followed-up at screening, baseline (ART interruption) and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 weeks thereafter or at ART resumption. The study visits will include: general clinical assessment, routine laboratory tests including: creatinine, phosphorus, calcium, alkaline phosphatase, AST, ALT, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, HDL- and LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, CD4+ cell count and CD4+/CD8+ ratio. Additional 30 mL of peripheral blood will be withdrawn at study visits for further virological, and immunological investigations and for bio-banking purposes. During follow-up, the occurrence of two consecutive HIV-1 RNA values >50 copies/mL or the occurrence of stage B or C AIDS-defining events or any serious non-AIDS clinical event at least potentially related to treatment interruption will be criteria for ART resumption. All patients with HIV-RNA<50 copies/mL at week 48 (end of the study) will resume their baseline ART regimen. The main demographic, clinical and therapy information will be accurately recorded at the study visits in an electronic Case Report Form.
This trial addresses the question of the viral load (VL) threshold for switching from first-line to second-line antiretroviral therapy (ART). The WHO currently sets the threshold at 1000 copies/mL. However, the optimal threshold for defining virological failure and the need to switch ART regimen has not been determined. In fact, people with VL levels of less than 1000 copies/mL, however, not fully suppressed, are at increased risk for drug resistance mutations (DRM) and subsequent virological failure. In resource-limited settings where VL monitoring is not as frequent as in high-income countries, this could have serious implications and patients may continue on a failing regimen for a long period. Our research consortium will conduct a multicenter, parallel-group, open-label, randomized clinical trial in a resource-limited setting to assess whether a threshold of 100 copies/mL compared to the WHO-defined threshold of 1000 copies/mL for switching to second-line ART among unsuppressed HIV-positive patients on first-line ART will lead to better outcomes.
The study will prospectively determine the clinical utility of CMV cell-mediated immunity using the Quantiferon test. The investigators will use the assay results to tailor the duration of CMV prophylaxis in solid organ transplant patients.
The overall goal of this study is to rapidly improve clearance of BK viremia with Immunoglobulin (Privigen®) thereby decreasing the potential for formation of alloantibodies in renal transplant recipients that have had immunosuppression reduction due to BK viremia. Our approach is to perform a prospective, randomized, placebo controlled trial intravenous immune globulin (IVIg; Privigen®) plus protocolized immunosuppression reduction versus placebo and protocolized immunosuppression reduction in patients with BK viremia post-kidney transplantation.
Background: When there is a threat to the body, the immune system triggers inflammation. Too much inflammation can damage the body or cause painful symptoms. Some people with HIV feel sick after they start HIV drugs because their recovering immune systems cause too much inflammation. Or their immune systems can become activated all the time. This can cause serious health problems. Researchers want to test if the drug CC-11050 helps treat inflammation in people taking HIV drugs. Objectives: To test if CC-11050 is safe and well-tolerated for people with HIV who are taking HIV drugs. To see if it reduces inflammation. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with HIV who have been on antiretroviral therapy for at least 1 year. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medicine review Physical exam and medical history Blood and urine tests Chest x-ray Electrocardiogram (ECG): Soft electrodes on the skin record heart signals. Participants will be randomly assigned to take capsules of either CC-11050 or a placebo. They will take the capsules every day for 12 weeks. They will continue to take their HIV drugs. Participants will have a baseline visit within 2 months of screening. This includes: Physical exam and medical history Blood and urine tests ECG Leukapheresis: Blood is removed by a needle in one arm and passed through a machine that removes white blood cells. The rest of the blood is returned through a needle in the other arm. Participants will have follow-up visits 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks after the baseline visit. These may include repeats of some of the baseline tests.
Research ipotesis is to assess the efficacy and safety of a nucleos(t)ide sparing regimen of atazanavir/ritonavir 300 mg /100 mg QD + Dolutegravir 50 mg QD for the management of virological failure in HIV-1 infected patients. The Primary Objective is to explore the 24-week efficacy of a nucleos(t)ide sparing regimen of atazanavir 300 mg QD/ ritonavir 100 mg QD + Dolutegravir 50 mg QD for the management of virologic failure in HIV-1 infected, integrase inhibitor-naïve subjects.
This study will evaluate whether a test for Cytomegalovirus (CMV) specific cell-mediated immunity can be used to determine whether patients who complete a course of therapy for CMV viremia need secondary antiviral prophylaxis. Subjects that have negative CMV CMI will receive antiviral prophylaxis for 2 months and those with positive CMV CMI will have their prophylaxis stopped.
Phase I/IIClinical trial, proof of concept, double blind, and placebo-controlled, randomized 2:1 (MSCs: placebo), total sample size is 15 subjects
The purpose of this study is to see how well the antibody levels found months to years after patients entered a previous randomised placebo-controlled trial of a glycoprotein B vaccine against cytomegalovirus have persisted and to have the previous samples retested using different methods which have been further developed in different laboratories. Also, to prepare monoclonal antibodies from the B lymphocytes of these patients and define their strength. If potent antibodies are identified, the investigators would like to consider developing them further to see if they can protect future transplant patients against cytomegalovirus.
