Filter by:We propose to demonstrate that HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 are capable of targeting long-lived HSPC with self-renewal capacities. These progenitors, thus transformed into host cells, can give rise to a durable source of infected cells with an impact on hematopoiesis.
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) causes a persistent infection that ultimately leads to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Treatment of HIV-1 infection with combination anti-retroviral therapy (ART) suppresses HIV-1 replication to undetectable viral levels and saves lives. Nevertheless, ART cannot eradicate latent cellular reservoirs of the virus, and HIV-1 infection remains a life-long battle. Adoptive cellular immunotherapy using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) engineered T cells directed against HIV-1 envelope subunit protein gp120 (HIVCAR T cells) may provide a safe and effective way to eliminate HIV-infected cells. However, the number of HIV-infected cells is low in participants under ART, and CAR T cells disappear if they are not stimulated by their target antigens. Interestingly, about 95% of HIV-1-infected individuals are CMV-seropositive and CMV-specific T cells have been shown to persist. To overcome the CAR T cells low persistence issue, we propose to make HIV-CAR T cells using autologous cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific T cells, which can be stimulated by endogenous CMV in vivo. The overall hypothesis of this first-in-human Phase 1, open-label, single-arm study is that endogenous immune signals to CMV-specific T cells can maintain the presence of autologous bispecific CMV/HIV-CAR T cells in healthy people living with HIV-1 (PLWH), and achieve long-term remission in the presence of ART.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic characteristics of CL-197 capsules in health conditions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and anti-retroviral activity of MK-8510 monotherapy in anti-retroviral-naïve HIV-1 infected participants.
Background: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) can suppress HIV to undetectable levels in people, but the virus rebounds quickly if the drug treatment is stopped; this is because HIV can remain dormant in a pool of blood cells called the persistent viral reservoir (PVR). Yet lifelong ART is expensive and can lead to serious side effects over the long term. Some drugs may be more effective at reducing the PVR. Objective: To see if 2 study drugs (3BNC117-LS and 10-1074-LS) are safe and if they can lower the number of HIV-infected blood cells in people with HIV who are on ART. Eligibility: People aged 18 to 70 years with HIV who are on ART. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam and blood and urine tests. They will undergo leukapheresis. Leukapheresis is a procedure where blood is drawn from a needle in one arm. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the white blood cells. The remaining blood will be given back through a second needle in the other arm. The study drugs or placebo (normal saline) will be administered 3 times at 20-week intervals. The drugs will be given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. This will take 1 hour. Some participants will receive only a saline solution. They will not know if they are getting the drugs or the placebo. Participants will undergo leukapheresis up to 4 more times during the study. Participants will have follow-up visits every 10 weeks until the study ends.
The investigators hypothesize that chronic insufficient sleep is associated with diminished endothelium-dependent nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation and tissue-type plasminogen activator release in anti-retroviral (ART)-treated HIV-1-seropositive adults. Furthermore, the investigators hypothesize that the postulated diminishment in endothelial vasodilator and fibrinolytic function with insufficient sleep will be due, at least in part, to increased oxidative stress. Moreover, increasing sleep duration and improving sleep quality will increase both endothelium-dependent nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation and endothelial tissue-type plasminogen activator release in ART-treated HIV-1-seropositive adults. Increases in endothelial vasodilator and fibrinolytic function will be due, at least in part, to reduced oxidative stress.
To evaluate the safety of autologous CAR-T-cell therapy in individuals lived with HIV-1 infection, CAR T cells are infused after ex vivo expansion and transduction with lentiviral vectors encoding a broadly neutralizing HIV-1 scFv antibody.
The purpose of this study is to assess the percent change in body weight when switching to darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (D/C/F/TAF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) (Immediate Switch Arm) compared to continuing the current integrase (INI) + tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine (TAF/FTC) antiretroviral (ARV) regimen (Delayed Switch Arm) in virologically-suppressed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infected participants who have experienced rapid and significant body weight gain.
This study will be conducted in two stages and will test the safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics (how the body handles study drug) and pharmacodynamics (effects on the immune system and the virus) of the study drug ABBV-181 in Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infected participants undergoing Antiretroviral therapy (ART) interruption.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the ability to swallow the scored film-coated darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (D/C/F/TAF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet, irrespective of the mode of intake (whole and split tablet).
