Filter by:The purpose of this study is to understand the immune response to coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) vaccination in patients on B-cell depleting therapies (BCDT) over time, which in the future may help to inform clinical decision making in this patient population.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the magnitude and breadth of the serum antibody response to the nonavalent HPV vaccine (Gardasil-9) in adults with well-controlled HIV infection. The secondary objective of the study is to observe short term clinical outcomes of prevalent HPV genotype-specific anogenital infections in adults living with HIV who complete the three-dose Gardasil-9 vaccine series. The clinical hypothesis is that adults with virologically controlled HIV mount a serum antibody response to the nonavalent HPV vaccine that is comparable to HIV negative counterparts. We also postulate that HPV vaccination will provide short-term clinical benefit against HPV infections and disease associated with vaccine genotypes.
Study CP-MGD020-01 is a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation, and multi-dose expansion study of MGD020 as a single agent or in combination with MGD014 in persons with HIV-1 (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART). The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of the study drugs. The study consists of 3 parts (Part 1A, Part 1B, and Part 2). The participant's standard of care ART regimen is continued throughout the study period. MGD020 is a bispecific DART® molecule that binds CD3 and gp41 subunit of HIV-1 envelope. MGD014 is a bispecific DART® molecule that binds CD3 and gp120 subunit of HIV-1 envelope. These DART molecules redirect CD3+ T lymphocytes to kill HIV-1-infected CD4+ T cells. Part 1A evaluates groups of participants given a single dose of MGD020. A 2-week safety period is observed prior to escalation to the next dose level. Dose escalation continues until either the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD) is determined. Part 1B begins after the end of Part 1A. Part 1B evaluates groups of participants given a single dose of the MGD020 MTD or MAD from Part 1A and a fixed dose of of MGD014. The first group will be treated with a single dose of MGD020, at a dose determined to be one dose lower than the single-agent MTD/MAD from Part 1A, and a single 300 mcg/kg dose of MGD014. Dose escalation proceeds until either the MTD or MAD is determined. Part 2 begins after the end of Part 1B. Part 2 is a multi-dose expansion group. Each participant will receive the MTD or MAD of MGD020 from Part 1B and a fixed dose of MGD014 from Part 1B, administered every 2 weeks (Q2W) for 3 combination doses over 4 weeks. Up to 6 participants may be enrolled in Part 2.
Background/Objectives: The research discusses the importance of mountain foods/products and services in the context of healthier nutrition and behavior with the application to agribusiness. The purpose of the research is to highlight the necessity of human behavior in consuming mountain products as natural probiotics. Subjects/methods: As evidence, the research analyses mountain food and the associated entrepreneurship for Austria and other Central and Eastern European countries (foods/products and services), especially from the mountain area. The authors realized experimental research regarding representative mountain food from Central and Eastern European areas and used the Eurostat database. Data has been taken from Eurostat and processed in Excel and SPSS, using similar models of analysis from published research. Experimental analysis has been realized by the authors and collected from different recognized sources.
Our study will assess and measure population effectiveness of prophylactic HPV vaccine in reducing cervical, anal, and/or oral prevalent and 6-month persistent infections among HPV-vaccinated and 757 HPV-unvaccinated Rwandan WLWH aged 18-26 years. Additional objectives include the quantification & examination of long-term antibody (into young adulthood) responses to HPV vaccination and to validate the performance (e.g., sensitivity and specificity) of a low-cost, POC (point-of-care) anti-HPV16 antibody test to determine/confirm HPV vaccination status. The findings for this study will provide necessary evidence regarding the long-term protection afforded by HPV vaccination in WLWH living in SSA, who are at the greatest risk of HPV-related cancers.
This study will test brentuximab vedotin to see if it is safe for people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who have low CD4+ and have received antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment. It will also see if brentuximab vedotin raises CD4+ counts. It will study the side effects of this drug as well. A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating the disease. In this study participants will be assigned randomly to a group. Participants will get either brentuximab vedotin or placebo. A placebo looks like the drug but does not contain any medicine in it. All participants will keep getting ART during the study.
Patients with medical conditions requiring allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) are at risk of developing a condition called graft versus host disease (GvHD) which carries a high morbidity and mortality. This is a phase I/II study that will test the safety and efficacy of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with ex-vivo T cell receptor Alpha/Beta+ and CD19 depletion to treat patients' underlying condition. This process is expected to substantially decrease the risk of GvHD thus allowing for the elimination of immunosuppressive therapy post-transplant. The study will use blood stem/progenitor cells collected from the peripheral blood of parent or other half-matched (haploidentical) family member donor. The procedure will be performed using CliniMACS® TCRα/β-Biotin System which is considered investigational.
Patients are frequently evaluated by physicians for medical work-up of HIV indicator conditions in hospital and in primary care at the general practitioner. Testing for HIV is indicated with HIV indicator disorder but often omitted in clinical work-up. Besides the fact that HIV testing is forgotten, there are other reasons such as an underestimation of the risk of HIV in the event of indicator disorders, stigma and difficulties in discussing the test with a patient. Also and more relevant for primary care than for the hospital, practical challenges can exist for a patient to go to a laboratory, or costs are a hurdle. This project focuses on improving HIV indicator condition driven testing in different settings of the HIV epidemic, initially in the Netherlands as low HIV prevalence setting followed by an assessment of its benefit in different international settings. A specific focus will also be on the Rotterdam area in the Netherlands which has a high prevalence of undiagnosed HIV in the Netherlands. The ultimate aim is to decrease the number of undiagnosed HIV in populations, improve the 90-90-90 HIV cascade of care goals particularly its first pillar, and to help supporting the UNAIDS goal to end HIV/AIDS
The purpose of the study is to assess the ability to swallow the Darunavir/Cobicistat (DRV/COBI) fixed dosed combination (FDC) tablet dispersed in water.
The main aim of the study is to check how much TAK-771 stays in their blood over time, side effect from the study treatment or TAK-771, how much TAK-771 participants can receive without getting side effects from it, and if TAK-771 improves symptoms of primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID). This will help the study sponsor (Takeda) to work out the best dose to give people in the future. The participants will be treated with TAK-771 for totally 27 or 30 weeks. Treatment period is consist of two periods called Epoch 1 and Epoch 2. In Epoch 1, different groups of participants will receive lower to higher doses of TAK-771 for 3 to 6 weeks. The study doctors will check for side effects from each dose of TAK-771. In Epoch 2, participants will receive TAK-771 once a 3 or 4 weeks until the end of 24 weeks. There will be many clinic visits. The number of visits will depend on the infusion cycles of study drug (every 3, or 4 weeks).
