Filter by:GSK2838232 is a novel HIV-1 maturation inhibitor (MI) that is being developed for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in combination with other antiretroviral therapy (ART). This study will be a 10-day monotherapy, open-label, adaptive, dose ranging, repeat-dose study. This study will be conducted in two Parts (Part A and Part B) consisting single daily doses of GSK2838232 and Cobicistat from Day 1 to Day 10. This proof of concept open-label study will be aimed to characterize the acute antiviral activity, pharmacokinetics (PK), the relationship between PK and antiviral activity, and safety of GSK2838232/cobi administered across a range of doses over 10 days in HIV-1 infected patients. A cohort of 10 subjects will be studied in Part I followed by interim (go/no-go) analysis of Part A data. On completion of an interim analysis of part A data, further cohorts of 8 subjects will then be studied in Part B in a parallel design in two or more cohorts (depending upon the data obtained in Part A). Approximately 34 HIV-1 infected treatment-naive subjects will be enrolled during the study. Subjects in both parts will have a screening visit within 30 days prior to first dose and a follow-up visit 7-14 days after the last dose. Maximum duration of study participation will be approximately 6 Weeks.
This multicenter, open-label, parallel-arm, non-randomized study is designed to evaluate safety and tolerability of higher infusion parameters of IgPro20 in subjects with primary immunodeficiency (PID). A total of 45 subjects (including at least 14 [30%] pediatric subjects ≤ 17 years of age and at least 9 [20%] obese subjects with body mass index [BMI] of ≥30 kg/m2) with confirmed PID will be evaluated in the study. The study will include three cohorts of 15 subjects each as follows: i) Pump-Assisted Volume Cohort (weekly infusions), volume per injection site of 25 mL up to 50 mL, ii) Pump Assisted Flow Rate Cohort (weekly infusions), flow rate per injection site of 25 mL/hour up to 100 mL/hour, iii) Manual Push Flow Rate Cohort (2 to 7 infusions per week), flow rate per injection site of 25 to 30 mL/hour up to 120 mL/hour (equivalent of approximately 0.5 mL/minute up to 2 mL/minute). Each cohort will test 3 infusion parameter levels (4 for the pump-assisted flow rate cohort), repeated at least 4 times over a duration of 12 weeks (16 weeks for the flow rate cohort). After 4 infusion weeks at each level, qualifying subjects (responders) will switch to the next infusion parameter level (eg, from 25 to 50 mL/h). During the study, the weekly dose will remain unchanged (as prescribed by treating physician, usually within 100-200 mg/kg per week range); only the respective infusion parameter under evaluation will change.
This is a prospective, non-randomized, single-cohort, longitudinal, single-center, clinical study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of a cryopreserved formulation of OTL-101 (autologous CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells transduced ex vivo with EFS (Elongation Factor 1α Short form) Lentiviral Vector (LV) encoding for the human ADA gene) administered to ADA-SCID subjects between the ages of 30 days and 17 years of age, who are not eligible for an Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) matched sibling/family donor and meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The OTL-101 product is infused after a minimal interval of at least 24 hours following the completion of reduced intensity conditioning. For subjects who successfully receive the OTL-101 product, pegademase bovine (PEG-ADA) Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) is discontinued at Day+30 (-3/+15) after the transplant. After their discharge from hospital, the subjects will be seen at regular intervals to review their history, perform examinations and draw blood samples to assess immunity and safety.
The project aims to study the effects of inclusion of sunflower oil, vitamin E and selenium in the diet of dairy cows on milk composition and the influence of modified milk on nutrition and health of elderly. To achieve those goals, two experiments will be conducted, both lasting 12 weeks. In the first one, 32 cows at the beginning of lactation will be allotted in a completely randomized block design with a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments, as follow: 1) control diet; 2) control diet plus selenium and vitamin E; 3) control diet plus sunflower oil diet; 4) control diet plus sunflower oil, selenium and vitamin E. This experiment seeks the development of modified milks through nutritional manipulation of cow's diet. Concomitantly, in the second experiment, 132 elderly people will receive the four different kinds of milk produced in the first experiment in a completely randomized block (gender) design. The selection of the elderly for each group shall be composed clinical evaluations. Will be conducted biochemical tests before and after supplementation of milk consumption (serum α-tocopherol, selenium, analysis of fatty acid profile). Assessment of nutritional status will be made body mass index (BMI) with each participant before and after the experiment of 12 weeks, including body composition by multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), evaluating the strength of pressure of the hand portable dynamometer, demographics and food consumption. The study of human nutrition and health will be held in the form of a double-blind study. The second experiment aims to study nutrition and health of elderly people, as it is expected that milk produced with better fatty acid profile, vitamin and minerals can improve the inflammatory profile of markers of the elderly. This project is important for the human population in general, particularly elderly people, health workers, human and animal nutritionists, and especially for the milk chain, as it has a potential to develop new dairy products and boost milk consumption.
This two-arm cluster randomized trial tested a gender-focused comprehensive HIV testing and counselling (HTC) program, the Young Women's Health CoOp (YWHC) with a standard HTC program and targeted female adolescents (aged 16-19) who use substances and have dropped out of school. To evaluate the process, the study examined the feasibility of using peer role models as recruiters and co-facilitators of the intervention and monitored fidelity to the intervention. Efficacy of the intervention on behavioral and biological outcomes, and on linkages to health services, through follow-up visits conducted 6- and 12-months post-enrollment was also assessed.
This study is to understand how to improve retention in care and treatment services to HIV positive pregnant women and their babies in Swaziland. The investigators will evaluate outcomes of patients who are lost-to-follow-up (LTF) under a new approach for prevention of mother-to-child (PMTCT) called Option B+, where all HIV positive pregnant women initiate lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART) regardless of their disease stage. The goal is to understand the outcomes of patients who are LTF from care, and the reasons for disengagement from care in the context of PMTCT in order to inform efforts to improve retention in care among patients under Option B+.
In order to accelerate the identification of genes responsibles of PID, and to improve the diagnosis of PID, the research team would like to validate a rapid and targeted method of high-throughput sequencing, on 301 genes, known to be involved in PID.
The intent of the proposed randomized controlled trial is to test the efficacy of a principle-based, transdiagnostic cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention that addresses the pathways through which minority stress compromises young gay and bisexual men's (YGBM) co-occurring mental (e.g., depression), behavioral (e.g., substance use), and sexual (e.g., condomless anal sex) health problems.
The purpose of this study is to describe the effectiveness of darunavir/cobicistat (DRV/c)-based regimens, measured as maintenance of virological suppression 48 weeks after baseline, defined as the day when the treatment with DRV/c-based regimen is started, through collection of daily practice data in the Italian setting.
The Purpose of this study is to see if it is possible to deliver an intervention that targets trauma, substance use, and engagement in HIV care with HIV-positive women.
