Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the risk factors associated with the occurrence of arterial insufficiency in patients with HIV / AIDS, and to identify the prevalence of this disease. The estimated prevalence is 10%, similar to that reported in the general population.
PRO 140 2103 is a multicenter, randomized parallel group study, conducted in male and female adult subjects infected with CCR5-tropic HIV-1.
Severe combined Immunodeficiencies ( SCID ) are a group of inherited diseases of the immune system by characterised profound abnormalities of T cell development . Infants with SCID require prompt clinical response to Prevent life -threatening infection and studies show significantly improved survival in babies Diagnosed at birth as a result of previous family history . SCID follows criteria for population -based newborn screening since it is asymptomatic at birth and fatal within the first year of life, the confirmation of the disease is easy, there is a curative treatment , and it is known that early stem cell transplantation improves survival . Quantification of TRECs (T- cell receptor excision circles ) in DNA extracted from Guthrie samples is a sensitive screening test for Specific and SCID . The investigators propose in this study to perform a neonatal screening of SCID , in a population of 200,000 babies over a period of two years . The investigators propose to study the clinical utility and cost effectiveness ratio, and SCID screening to demonstrate that could result in a broad benefit to Individuals detected , making screening relatively cost-effective in spite of the low incidence of the disease .
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of rosuvastatin in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected individuals lowers inflammation in blood vessels, improves blood circulation in the small arteries that provide nutrients to the heart muscle and improves neurocognitive function.
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a rare primary immunodeficiency dieases (PID), is poorly characterized in mainland China. We meant to explore the patients with SCID refered to our hospital and summarize their clinical manifestations and genetic features.
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.
This is a Phase IV, open label, observational study to compare the gastrointestinal tissue concentrations, inflammatory response, and viral replication of two integrase-inhibitors, raltegravir and dolutegravir, in HIV-infected volunteers who are virologically suppressed in blood plasma. The study will be comprised of 20 HIV-infected volunteers who will be enrolled equally into two groups. Group A will consist of 10 subjects receiving an antiretroviral regimen of tenofovir, emtricitabine, and raltegravir, and Group B will consist of 10 subjects receiving an antiretroviral regimen of tenofovir, emtricitabine, and dolutegravir. Participants will provide small pieces of tissue, or biopsies, which will be taken from three distinct locations of the large intestine during a colonoscopy procedure. These biopsies will be used to measure the amount of raltegravir or dolutegravir, HIV virus, and inflammatory markers present in the gastrointestinal tract.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the nutritional supplement rice bran arabinoxylan compound (RBAC) on metabolic syndrome variables in persons living with HIV. The hypothesis is that there will be a significant improvement in metabolic syndrome and immune variables in HIV-positive participants in the intervention group compared to the control group.
This study aims to describe the proportion of participants with non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (NPEP) failure, defined as NPEP non-completion (including loss to follow-up) at week 4 or primary HIV infection at week 4 or 12, excluding those participants who should and do cease study drug because: 1. The participant is found to be HIV-infected (study drugs will be ceased until the genotype of the infecting strain is determined) 2. The source is found to be HIV-uninfected The primary study objectives are: 1. To describe on-drug adherence and regimen completion rates of 28 days of NPEP using dolutegravir (DTG) with co-formulated emtricitabine-tenofovir (FTC-TDF) 2. To describe the safety of 28 days of non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (NPEP) using dolutegravir with co-formulated emtricitabine-tenofovir The study is a multi-site, prospective, open-label, non-randomized trial. One-hundred (100) eligible participants will receive dolutegravir (one tablet) with co-formulated emtricitabine-tenofovir, two tablets, once daily for 28 days based on one of the following exposures: 1. receptive anal intercourse with a source known to be HIV-infected; or 2. receptive anal intercourse with a source of unknown HIV status; or 3. insertive anal intercourse with a source known to be HIV-infected There will be 7 study visits over a 12-week period. Follow-up post NPEP is for 8 weeks i.e. to week-12 post-exposure. Any participant who is intolerant of dolutegravir will be managed at the investigator's discretion.
Liver disease is one of the leading co-morbidities of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is present in approximately 30-40% of patients with HIV infection. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a more severe form of NAFLD in which increased liver fat is also accompanied by inflammation, cellular damage, and fibrosis. NAFLD is most prevalent in patients who also have increased visceral adiposity, and our group has previously shown that HIV-infected individuals with increased visceral adiposity generally have decreased growth hormone secretion. Tesamorelin is a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analogue that increases endogenous growth hormone secretion. Tesamorelin is FDA-approved for the reduction of visceral fat in HIV-infected individuals. In a previous study, treatment with tesamorelin in HIV-infected individuals selected for abdominal adiposity reduced liver fat. The current study is designed to test the effect of tesamorelin on liver fat and steatohepatitis in HIV-infected individuals who have NAFLD. The investigators hypothesize that tesamorelin will reduce liver fat and will also ameliorate the inflammation, fibrosis, and hepatocellular damage seen in conjunction with NASH.
