Filter by:In order to better understand the source(s) and the mechanism(s) of HIV persistence and to potentially lead to further suppression of HIV from viral reservoirs, we propose to examine the effect of co-administration of enfuvirtide, an entry inhibitor of HIV, on diminution of the size of the viral reservoir in infected individuals who are receiving effective antiviral therapy for extended periods of time (> 5 years).
This study evaluated changes in body fat distribution in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infected participants who either switched from a zidovudine- plus lamivudine- containing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimen to a regimen containing Truvada® (a fixed-dose combination tablet of emtricitabine [FTC, 200 mg] and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [TDF, 300 mg]) or who remained on a zidovudine- plus lamivudine-containing regimen. Subjects continued their protease inhibitor (PI) or nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI).
Approximately 36 HIV-negative women, aged >18 and < 50, will be enrolled in this study. Each volunteer will have a 2:1 chance of receiving dapivirine gel versus placebo. The volunteers will receive investigational product for a total of 42 days.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the non-inferiority of ritonavir-boosted GS-9137 relative to a ritonavir-boosted Comparator Protease Inhibitor when used as part of combination antiretroviral regimens in subjects who have failed, or are failing, protease inhibitor therapy.
The purpose of this study is to compare Kaletra tablets with Kaletra soft-gel capsules to see if there is any change in the side effects you may have and to see how people in the study feel about using the tablets.
For HIV-infected individuals with highly resistant viruses, higher drug levels may be required to block the virus. This study investigates that concept by comparing the efficacy of standard fosamprenavir/ritonavir to an increased dose of boosted fosamprenavir and to a combination of fosamprenavir (increased dose)/lopinavir/ritonavir.
Maraviroc (UK-427,857), a selective and reversible CCR5 coreceptor antagonist, has been shown to be active in vitro against a wide range of clinical isolates (including those resistant to existing classes). In HIV-1 infected patients, maraviroc (UK-427,857) given as monotherapy for 10 days reduced HIV-1 viral load by up to 1.6 log, consistent with currently available agents. Safety and toleration have been studied in over 400 subjects for up to 28 days at 300 mg twice daily. No significant effects were seen on the QTc interval. The goal of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of maraviroc (UK-427,857) versus efavirenz, when each are combined with two other antiretroviral agents, in patients who are previously naive to antiretroviral therapy. This study will involve approximately 200 centers from around the world to achieve a total randomized subject population of 1071 subjects. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: maraviroc (UK-427,857) 300 mg once daily added to zidovudine/lamivudine (300 mg/150 mg twice daily), Maraviroc (UK-427,857) 300 mg twice daily added to zidovudine/lamivudine (300 mg/150 mg twice daily) or efavirenz (600 mg once daily) added to zidovudine/lamivudine (300 mg/150 mg twice daily). The study will enroll over approximately an 18 month period (5 months Phase 2b run-in, 13 months Phase 3) with 96 weeks of treatment. This may be extended for an additional 3 years depending on the results at 96 weeks. Physical examinations will be performed at study entry, weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, 60, 72, 84 and 96. Blood samples will also be taken at study entry, weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, 60, 72, 84 and 96. Additionally, blood samples will be drawn twice, at least 30 minutes apart, at weeks 2 and 48 for maraviroc (UK-427,857) pharmacokinetic analysis. As part of this clinical study a blood sample will be taken for non-anonymized pharmacogenetic analysis. Patients will undergo a 12-lead electrocardiogram at study entry, weeks 24, 48 and 96. A computerized tomography (CT) scan will also be performed, at selected centers, at study entry and week 96. Patients will be asked to complete a symptom distress questionnaire at study entry, weeks 12, 24, 48 and 96.
To conduct epidemiological, laboratory, and survey research on volunteer blood donors within the United States to ensure the safety and availability of the United States' blood supply.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of administration of a cell-delivered ribozyme gene transfer product to participants with chronic (lasting a long time) Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) infection (a life-threatening infection which you can get from an infected person's blood or from having sex with an infected person).
To conduct a multicenter epidemiologic study of the human retroviruses HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV-I, and HTLV-II in volunteer blood donors from areas of the United States that were reportedly at high and medium or low risk for HIV. Also, to determine the prevalence of retrovirus seropositivity in first time blood donors; and the rate of retrovirus seroconversion in repeat blood donors as a measure of incidence of infection; to ascertain risk factors for antibody-positive donors; to characterize the blood donor population by geographic location, age, sex, race/ethnicity, and donation history to permit analysis on prevalence, incidence, and risk factors; to identify recipients of retrovirus-positive blood units and conduct clinical and laboratory follow-up of these recipients; and to establish a blood specimen repository for long-term storage of specimens from study donors and recipients for future testing.
