Filter by:The hypothesis is to determine if a preparative regimen of busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and antithymocyte globulin (ATG) plus allogeneic stem cell transplantation will be effective in the treatment of immune deficiencies and histiocytic disorders.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of GB virus C (GBV-C) on the natural history of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in subjects co-infected with HIV and HCV. The other aspect of the study is to assess the effect of GBV-C on the severity of liver disease due to chronic hepatitis C in subjects co-infected with HIV and HCV. This will be done by determining the point prevalence of co-infection retrospectively then following that cohort prospectively. In addition, further individuals will be recruited in a prospective manner.
To show the feasibility of liver transplantation in HCV-HIV coinfected patients. To study the two-year survival after transplantation, the interaction between HCV and HIV after transplantation, the influence of HIV on HCV recurrence after transplantation, the interaction between immunosuppressive and antiretroviral drugs in particular anti-proteases, immunological follow-up and quality of life of these patients
This study is a 96-week study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GW873140 in combination with Combivir in HIV infected, untreated subjects.
This study is a 96-week study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GW873140 in combination with Kaletra in HIV infected, untreated subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a computer-assisted, self-administered adherence program for patients on complicated anti-HIV drug regimens.
This study will evaluate immune function in people with a known or suspected immune disorder. It will determine participants immune response to vaccines by measuring blood antibody levels after vaccination. Patients enrolled in a NIH protocol involving immune reconstitution (bone marrow transplantation or gene therapy) for a known or suspected primary immune disorder may be eligible for this study. Participants may be asked to have more than one vaccine, based on their age, use of IVIG, past immunization history and underlying immune problem. The possible vaccinations include: Rabies vaccine Diphtheria and tetanus booster 23 valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine Pneumococcal 7-valent conjugate vaccine The diphtheria, tetanus, pneumococcus and rabies vaccines are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and used routinely to protect against disease. Study participants will have a blood sample drawn before vaccination. The number of additional samples collected will vary according to the vaccines administered; 1 for rabies; 1 for tetanus; and 1 to 2 for the pneumococcal vaccines. Each sample will be up to 5 teaspoonfuls. Participation in the study may last up to a year, depending on the blood sampling scheduling
OBJECTIVES: I. Provide curative immunoreconstituting allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for patients with primary immunodeficiencies. II. Determine relevant outcomes of this treatment in these patients including quality of survival, extent of morbidity and mortality from complications of the treatment (e.g., graft versus host disease, regimen related toxicities, B- cell lymphoproliferative disease), and completeness of functional immunoreconstitution.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders to identify patients with mutations of the genes for the following proteins: Jak3, STAT1, STAT4, interleukin-7, interleukin-7 receptor, interleukin-12 receptor subunits, and others. Patients will undergo screening history, physical examination, and clinical laboratory evaluation at referring institutions and tissue samples, or cell lines will be sent to the NIH. We will establish cell lines if necessary, prepare DNA and RNA for molecular genetic analysis and study cytokine signal transduction in patient cell lines.
