Filter by:This study will evaluate how safe Budigalimab is and how it moves within the body in adult participants with HIV-1 infection. Budigalimab is an investigational drug being evaluated for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Study participants will be assigned to one of the 4 treatment groups and will receive a single dose of Budigalimab or placebo subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous (IV). Around 32 participants 18-65 years of age living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus will be enrolled in the study in approximately 9 sites worldwide. Each participant will receive single dose of SC and IV Budigalimab and/or Placebo on day 1 and will be followed for 24 weeks. Participants will attend weekly to every two and every four weeks visits during the study at a hospital. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests and checking for side effects. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial.
The immune system response needs to be forceful but also balanced for a rapid recovery from infection which avoids harmful overreactions. Innate immunity can adapt and respond more efficiently to secondary exposures, thanks to epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming, namely "trained immunity". ABBC1 is a combination of beta-1,3/1,6-glucan with inactivated Saccharomyces cerevisae rich in selenium and zinc for training immunity. ABBC1 includes repurposed synergistic yeast-based ingredients: a unique ß-1,3/1,6-glucan complex and a consortium of probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae, rich in Selenium and Zinc. ABBC1 induces trained immunity due to its specific chemical and tridimensional structure: its ß-glucan complex interacts with specific receptors in immune cells, provoking a release of cytokines and priming phagocytosis. Simultaneous activation of these pathways activates innate immunity and counteracts cytokine storm. ABBC1 provides highly bioavailable selenium and zinc, micronutrients with a critical role in an optimal immune responsiveness to allergy, infection, and vaccines. ABBC1 possesses proven microbiome modulating properties, which revert in immune training. Due to its high tolerance, safety and immediate availability, ABBC1 is an ideal candidate for complementary management of geriatric patients with seasonal influenza viruses or COVID-19, or to improve the immune response in the general population receiving the influenza or Covid-19 vaccines. The absence of drug interactions in ABBC1 allows a dosage that is fully compatible with the medication prescribed for all types of patients, including the elderly who are frequently polymedicated, and allows adding an additional therapeutic tool in the fight against the pandemic. This study assesses the benefits of a nutritional supplementation with ABBC1 in volunteers receiving the influenza vaccine during autumn 2020 and the Covid-10 vaccine during winter 2021.
This study is a prospective, non-randomized, open-label, two-centre phase I/II intervention study designed to treat children up to 24 months of age with RAG1-deficient SCID with an indication for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation but lacking an HLA-matched donor. The study involves infusion of autologous CD34+ cells transduced with the pCCL.MND.coRAG1.wpre lentiviral vector (hereafter called RAG1 LV CD34+ cells) in five patients with RAG1-deficient SCID.
The study team plans to establish a bioregistry of patients receiving biologic therapy as part of their standard treatment at the Mount Sinai Therapeutic Infusion Center and affiliated practices. The study team will to apply state-of-the-art approaches to assessing and predicting immunological and clinical responses associated with these standards and prescribed treatments. The approach is twofold. The first component is to establish a robust and flexible biorepository and database that includes demographic, immunologic, exposure and clinical records, and can facilitate research across disciplines, and across other registries affiliated with Mount Sinai. The second component is to address specific key research questions focused on using novel diagnostics to increase the effectiveness of biologic treatment. Most patients will be recruited from the Mount Sinai Therapeutic Infusion Center (TIC), although others receiving infusions elsewhere or at home will be recruited from outpatient Sinai affiliated clinical practices.
This is a randomized controlled trial to test a combination behavioral and biomedical interventions to improve the HIV prevention and care cascades in a population of mobile men in a high priority setting (fishermen in Kenya). The intervention strategy is to recruit and train highly socially-connected men to distribute HIV self-tests and provide linkage support to men in their close social networks. The study will determine whether this social network-based approach along with small financial incentives in the form of transport vouchers can increase men's self-testing, linkage to and uptake of ART and PrEP after self-testing, virologic suppression at 6 months (for those initiating ART) and PrEP adherence (for those initiating PrEP) at 6 months. The study includes a longitudinal qualitative and mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative assessments) to identify the pathways of intervention action, and understand how the social network-based approach with support for linkage affects testing and ART and PrEP uptake and retention in men.
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains a health burden in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Interferon (IFN)-based therapy is the treatment of choice for HCV infection for HIV coinfected patients in earlier years. However, the treatment responses are far from ideal and the treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) are frequently encountered. Based on the excellent efficacy and safety, IFN-free direct acting antivirals (DAAs) have been the mainstay of therapy for HCV. Furthermore, the world health organization (WHO) has set the goal of global HCV elimination by 2030. The microelimination of HCV among HIV/HCV-coinfected patients is also listed as the prioritized target by WHO. Although the overall treatment response has improved dramatically during the past 5-10 years, several studies have indicated the HIV/HCV-coinfected patients had high risks of reinfection following successful antiviral treatment. The risk of HCV reinfection was reported to be 24.6% among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) in Austria, German, France and the United Kingdom who attained sustained virologic response (SVR) by IFN-based therapy. Two recent studies from Canada showed that the incidence of HCV reinfection in HIV-positive patients was higher that HIV-negative patients (3.44 vs. 1.13 per 100 person-year; 2.56 vs. 1.12 per 100 person-year). In Taiwan, 14.1% of the HIV-positive patients had HCV reinfection following treatment-induced or spontaneous viral clearance, resulting an incidence of 8.2 per 100 person-year with a total of 218.3 person-years of follow-up for these patients. Because data regarding to the HCV reinfection in HIV-positive patients are still limited, where a more comprehensive assessment of HCV reinfection is important based on the perspectives of HCV microelimination among HIV-positive patients in Taiwan, the investigators thus aim to conduct a long-term, large-scale cohort study to assess the risk of HCV reinfection in HIV-positive patients achieving SVR after IFN-based or IFN-free therapies, and to assess the factors associated with different risks of reinfection in these patients.
DATURA trial is a phase III, multicenter, two-arm, open-label, randomized superiority trial to compare the efficacy and the safety of an intensified tuberculosis (TB) regimen versus standard TB treatment in HIV-infected adults and adolescents hospitalized for TB with CD4 ≤ 100 cells/μL over 48 weeks: - Intensified TB treatment regimen: increased doses of rifampicin and isoniazid together with standard-dose of pyrazinamide and ethambutol for 8 weeks in addition to prednisone for 6 weeks and albendazole for 3 days - WHO standard TB treatment regimen. The continuation phase of TB treatment will be identical in the two arms: 4 months of rifampicin and isoniazid at standard doses.
The corona pandemic is a continuing global challenge due to Corona Virus 2019 (COVID-19). The purpose of the study is to confirm the accepted hypothesis from the recommendations of The European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, that the vaccine for COVID-19 is safe and has good efficacy in immunocompromised patients after a bone marrow transplant from a donor / cellular therapy.
This study evaluates a tailored-practice facilitation (PF) strategy for integrating a task strengthening strategy for hypertension control (TASSH) for the care of patients living with HIV (PWH) within primary health centers (PHCs) in Lagos, Nigeria.
The investigators will utilize a systematic approach for the diagnostic evaluation of patients to identify characteristics which may distinguish between Primary Immunodeficiency (PID) disorders versus Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD).
