Filter by:Despite increased HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection testing in Africa, many patients never enroll in subsequent HIV care after testing or remain in care after an initial enrollment. This study's aim is to improve linkage to HIV care and retention in HIV care through the use of feasible, evidence-based, and practical interventions. The study takes place in Swaziland, the country with the highest HIV prevalence (24%) in sub-Saharan Africa. The study will randomize groups of HIV testing sites and affiliated clinics to either standard of care or a combined intervention strategy (CIS) which consists of point-of care CD4 (cluster differentiation 4 (CD4)) testing at time of HIV testing, fast-track HIV medications for those who are eligible for treatment,mobile phone appointment reminders, care bags filled with health prevention materials, and financial incentives. The study outcomes are linkage to and retention in care as well as cost effectiveness, feasibility of interventions, and patient acceptability of interventions.
The aim of the study is to measure the effectiveness of a pilot program in Guangxi, China to decrease mortality related to HIV. The study's proposed mechanism of decreasing mortality rates is to shorten the time between initial HIV screening and ART implementation to within two weeks. The study population consists of participants who received an initial HIV infection diagnosis within the study period. Medical institutions will provide "one-stop services" by following detailed guidelines regarding reporting of positive HIV antibody screenings, further testing procedures, and treatment referrals in accordance with a pre-determined timetable. In addition, additional strategies focusing on policy development, medical personnel training, and a broad general public education campaign will be implemented. Main assessment measures are HIV-related mortality rates, treatment coverage, or other health outcomes.
A proof of concept study to evaluate the feasibility of using the Shang Ring, a novel male circumcision device across all childhood age groups namely infants (under 1), 1-5 age group, 6-12 age group and the 13-17 age group. The study will evaluate the safety, efficacy and course of wound healing when using the Shang Ring technique across the four childhood age groups.
To provide the IRB approved mechanism for the prospective collection, analysis and reporting of data on patients who are undergoing either an autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant for a disease in which a research question is not being addressed and for which peer reviewed, published data have demonstrated efficacy for this treatment approach.
This is an open-label phase III study with a 12-week wash-in/wash-out period followed by a 12-month efficacy period. The main goals of the study are to assess the efficacy of octanorm in preventing serious bacterial infections (SBI) compared with historical control data and to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of octanorm.
The main objective of the study is to determine the pharmacokinetics profile of Subgam-VF. The secondary objectives are to assess the safety of Subgam-VF and refine the dose adjustment coefficient for Subgam-VF needed for subjects switching from prior intravenous immunoglobulin (IGIV) therapy.
Primary: - Demonstrate the utility of an electronic data capture (EDC) system (CareExchange™) using infusion nurse and patient measured physical, quality of life (QOL), respiratory, laboratory, and disability assessments in patients with Primary Immunodeficiency Disease (PIDD). Secondary: - Change in Intravenous/Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin (IVIg/SCIg) dose effects measured outcomes. - Change in IVIg/SCIg dose timing effects measured outcomes. - Change in patient status is reflected in measured outcomes. - Assess the value to physicians from collected outcomes data. - Identify types of patients by response to IVIg/SCIg therapies (well maintained, problematic, etc.). - Change in response rate as measured by outcomes to IVIg/SCIg therapies by disease state, co-morbidities, and demographics.
This is a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled dose-escalation clinical trial to evaluate the safety and the immunogenicity of DNA and modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) HIV-1 vaccines in subjects receiving stable highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) who have an HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mm3 and CD4+ T cells count ≥ 350 cells/mm3.
The objective of this study is to make T-cell depleted stem cells from a family member who is a half match (haplo-identical) available on an expanded access basis to patients receiving one or two unrelated cord blood transplants who are at a higher risk of not engrafting in a safe amount of time. The purpose of the related stem cells is the give the bone marrow a "jump start" towards recovery. Ultimately, the cord blood cells will grow and permanently rescue the bone marrow.
The purpose of this study is to determine of once identified to the subjects infected with human immunodeficiency virus (positive VIH), to diagnose latent Tuberculosis, and to treat her with isoniazid for six months, measuring the production of Interferon range pre and posttreatment, to evaluate this way the result of the treatment on the immune response
