Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HSCT) in HIV infected patients on the persistence of HIV and the HIV immune response.
The purpose of this research study is to 1) evaluate the safety of a series of injections with the AGS-004 product in combination with a series of Vorinostat doses and 2) to help scientists evaluate ways of reactivating latent (non-acting) HIV virus and determine if the immune system can be made stronger to eliminate the activated HIV virus.
People who are infected with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) have a great chance of being cured of the infection when they are treated with sofosbuvir. However, in some instances, treatment with sofosbuvir-containing therapy does not work. It is not known if people respond to retreatment with sofosbuvir, after it did not work the first time. There is an important need to understand retreatment options in those instances. This clinical trial was done to study the response to two different regimens, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir and ledipasvir/sofosbuvir with ribavirin, and to see if they are safe and well-tolerated in HCV-infected persons whose previous treatment with sofosbuvir had failed.
During the past years the treatment of HIV-1 infection has transformed towards chronic treatment. Patients are being treated with antiretroviral drugs for many years and become older. The risk of developing side-effects due to long term antiretroviral therapy is therefore more and more likely. New alternative once-daily maintenance regimes are needed for those who are extensively pre-treated and experience side-effects or toxicity on standard treatment combinations. A possible once-daily, fully active maintenance regimen is the combination of atazanavir (unboosted), dolutegravir and lamivudine (PRADAII regimen). This combination is expected to be a safe, once-daily maintenance regimen with a favorable side-effect profile. The combination suits patients with intolerance and/or resistance to NRTIs, NNRTIs and ritonavir, who have a suppressed viral load. However, for this new combination the pharmacokinetic profile is unknown and there are no data on short-term and long-term safety and efficacy. This study wille therefore asses the pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy in a small number of HIV-1 infected patients.
Effect on HIV-1 cell reservoirs of the concomitant administration of intensive chemotherapy and the pharmacological blockade of CCR5 coreceptors: a pilot, open, randomized, and controlled clinical trial.
Modern antiretroviral therapy (ART) has transformed the clinical care and lived experience of HIV infection. However, increased rates of adverse health conditions that are related to immune activation, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and neurodegenerative disease in ART-treated individuals persist. An important cause of this inflammation is the gut CD4 T cell loss and the "leaking" or translocation of luminal gut bacteria and other microbes across the bowel wall and into the bloodstream. The use of complementary and alternative therapies is common among people living with HIV, however their efficacy has generally not been well demonstrated. Probiotics are live microbes that may provide a health benefit to the host and the investigators believe that the simultaneous use of probiotics along with antiretroviral therapy (ART) will improve gut CD4 T cell restoration and function and therefore reduce microbial translocation and immune activation. Probiotic Visbiome consists of a high potency blend of eight different probiotics. The precise mechanism of action of Visbiome is unknown, but preclinical studies have shown that Visbiome may modulate the immune response towards a phenotype that is associated with reduce inflammation, and Visbiome was also protective in a non-human primate model of SIV infection. Therefore, we believe that the "beneficial" bacteria from Visbiome will accelerate the normalization of gut immune cells and function in HIV-infected individuals as they start ART. Early resolution of gut immune cells may normalize microbial translocation and immune activation and will reduce the rates of HIV-associated comorbidities.
Management of participants with low-level persistent viremia
The purpose of this study is to identify at least one dose of BMS-986001 which is safe, well tolerated, and efficacious when combined with Efavirenz (EFV) + Lamivudine (3TC) for treatment-naive Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) infected subjects
This is a two part study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of MK-1972 in participants with HIV-1 infections. In Part 1, participants will be randomized to receive MK-1972 (at one of 5 different dose levels given once or twice per day) or placebo. Part II will begin after the results of Part I are known; participants will be randomized to receive MK-1972 (only one dose level, twice per day) or placebo. The primary hypotheses are that MK-1972 at the studied doses is safe and well tolerated in HIV-1 infected males; and that MK-1972 has superior antiretroviral activity compared to placebo.
This is a pilot study to determine the safety and feasibility of lentivirus-transduced T-cell immunotherapy in patients who have failed highly active anti-retrovirus therapy (HAART).
