Filter by:Pneumonia mortality rates in African countries like Malawi are high and increased further in children -exposed or infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as well as those that are severely malnourished or severely hypoxemic. Treatment innovations are needed. Bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) improves oxygenation and ventilation and is a simple, relatively inexpensive adaptation of conventional continuous positive airway pressure potentially suitable for low-resource settings. bCPAP has been demonstrated to improve outcomes in neonates less than 1 month of age. Recently, a limited number of hospitals are using bCPAP to escalate pneumonia care for older African children failing standard treatment with antibiotics and oxygen. Supportive evidence for this approach is observational only. Quality randomized studies comparing bCPAP versus a standard-of-care control group that includes low-flow oxygen therapy and using a primary endpoint of mortality are not available in low-resource settings including high prevalence HIV countries like Malawi. Demonstrating a mortality benefit with bCPAP is needed to support further investment and scale up of bCPAP in the care of older Malawian children 1-59 months of age with World Health Organization (WHO) severe pneumonia complicated by HIV and/or malnutrition or severe hypoxemia. With the full support of the Malawi Ministry of Health and in collaboration with external experts from Lilongwe Medical Relief Trust and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center investigators plan to address this critical evidence gap by conducting a randomized controlled study determining bCPAP outcomes, compared to the currently recommended standard of care endorsed by the WHO and Malawi national pneumonia guidelines, in hospitalized Malawian children with WHO-defined severe pneumonia complicated by a co-morbidity ((1) HIV-infection, (2) HIV-exposure without infection, (3) severely malnourished) or WHO pneumonia with severe hypoxemia and without a co-morbidity. The investigators hypothesize that bCPAP will reduce the mortality of Malawian children with WHO-defined severe pneumonia.
The purpose of this study is to find at least one dose of BMS-955176 that will be safe, effective and tolerable for HIV-1 infected treatment naive adults.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of portable colposcopy when compared to conventional colposcopy (25x magnification of the cervix, the gold standard) and Visualization Inspection with Acetic acid (VIA, with 1x magnification, the accepted low-resource method). Half the participants will be evaluated for cervical pathology by portable colposcopy after VIA assessment, while the other half will be evaluated by conventional colposcopy. This study also will use collected lab specimens for human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive women to determine those HPV genotypes most prevalent among higher grade disease cases (CIN II+) and among the sub-group of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive women.
The proposed study, 200207 is a double blind, placebo controlled, single and repeat dose escalation study to investigate the safety, tolerability and PK of GSK2838232 alone and when co-administered with RTV 100 milligram (mg) Once daily (QD). This study will enable future clinical development of GSK2838232 in healthy subjects and in a Phase IIa proof of concept study in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients. This study is a single and repeat dose escalation study and will be conducted as two Parts. Part A will evaluate GSK2838232 20 mg and 50 mg administered QD for 8 days and Part B will evaluate GSK2838232 10 mg, 20 mg, and 50 mg, co-administered with RTV 100 mg, QD for 11 days. The extended period of dosing is to account for the longer terminal phase half-life of GSK2838232 when given with RTV. Dose cohorts will be enrolled sequentially; enrollment into a cohort will commence following review of interim PK and safety data from at least 4 subjects in the preceding cohort. 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 7 weeks. Approximately 40 healthy subjects will be enrolled, 8 subjects/cohort. Subjects will be randomized 3:1 to receive GSK2838232 or placebo.
This study investigates the safety, tolerability and PKs of GSK2838232 with and without Ritonavir, and to evaluate different formulations of GSK2838232 in healthy subjects. This study will evaluate higher single and RTV boosted doses to support continued clinical development of GSK2838232 at clinically relevant doses, and subsequently in those infected with HIV in a dose ranging phase 2 study. The study is conducted in 2 parts: Part A and Part B, study Part A and Part B may be conducted in parallel. Approximately 20 healthy subjects will be enrolled into the study, 8 in Part A and 12 in Part B. Part A is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 4-period, single dose escalation design. Subjects will be randomized 3:1 to receive GSK2838232 or placebo. Subjects randomized to placebo will receive placebo in all four periods. Following completion of Period 2 PK assessments at 96hr post-dose, subjects will begin daily dosing of RTV 100mg for a total of 26 days. Part B is a randomized, open-label, unbalanced, 3-period, cross-over design; subjects will be randomized 1:1 to each sequence. The relative bioavailability of single 100mg doses of powder in a bottle (PIB) active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) of GSK2838232 versus PIB spray-dried dispersion (SDD) will be assessed. A single dose of GSK2838232 will co-administered on the 10th day of RTV dosing; RTV dosing will continue for an additional 4 days (total of 14 days). Subjects will have a screening visit within 30 days prior to first dose and a follow-up visit 7-14 days after the last dose.
The purpose of this study is to determine a safe dose of BPX-501 gene modified T cells infused after a haplo-identical stem cell transplant to facilitate engraftment and the safety of Rimiducid (AP1903) on day 7 to prevent GVHD.
The purpose of this study is to contribute evidence towards the potential to improve cognition in HIV+ individuals experiencing cognitive decline through personalized change in antiretroviral (ARV) medication. To that end, following a comprehensive evaluation to identify confounding clinical conditions, study participants will undergo a lumbar puncture to: (i) measure viral load (at 2 copies/ml); (ii) identify Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) genotype and tropism; and (iii) measure concentration of antiretroviral agents. When indicated from the CSF analysis, a personalized change in ARV will be implemented. Cognition will be measured in all at study entry and 6 months later.
This is a pilot clinical trial of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with a diagnosis of Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (SCID) who do not have an HLA-matched sibling donor. The stem cells will be derived from a 1) matched unrelated donor (MUD), 2) unrelated cord blood donor, or 3) a haplo-identical (parental) donor (in descending order of preference).Patients will receive a novel conditioning regimen with Busulfan, Fludarabine and Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) followed by an unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) with T-cell depletion using the CliniMACS device.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability and steady-state PK and confirm the dose of EVG/r in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-experienced children 4 weeks to <18 years of age. The study consists of 2 parts: Part A and Part B. Part A will enroll participants with suppressed viremia (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) or failing a current antiretroviral (ARV) regimen (HIV-1 RNA > 1,000 copies/mL only for participants in Cohort 2, Part A) to evaluate the steady state PK and confirm the dose of EVG. Part B will enroll participants who are failing a current ARV regimen (HIV-1 RNA > 1,000 copies/mL) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of EVG. The study consists of 4 age cohorts with each cohort including 2 parts (Part A and Part B) with the exception of the adolescent age cohort (Cohort 1: 12 to < 18 years old) containing Part B only.
