Filter by:The objective of this study is to determine whether 12 weeks of mesalamine therapy added to a standard HIV treatment decreases systemic immune activation and inflammation in HIV-infected patients, possibly resulting in better recovery of the immune system. The study hypothesis is that decreasing inflammation directly in the gut may decrease both of these potential causes of chronic inflammation, potentially resulting in an immunologic benefit.
The purpose of this study is to determine if prophylactic cotrimoxazole makes severe anemia or neutropenia more common in infants exposed to maternal HIV and combination antiretroviral therapy.
Long term observation of patients under lopinavir/ritonavir containing therapy
In Serono Study 24380, the antecedent protocol to Study 25373, patients were randomly assigned in a 3.0-to-1.0 ratio to Groups A and B. All patients in Group A received recombinant human growth hormone (Serostim®) 4 mg daily (the "induction" phase) for the first 12 weeks, and then were re-randomized to receive either placebo or Serostim 2 mg on alternate days (roughly equivalent to 1 mg daily) during Weeks 12-36 (the "maintenance" phase). All patients in Group B initially received placebo from baseline to Week 24, and then received Serostim® 4 mg daily from Weeks 24 to 36 (Grunfeld, 2007). In the follow-up Study 25373, any subject who was enrolled in Serono Study 24380 and was assigned to Group A, who fully completed all study visits without a major protocol violation, was eligible to enroll to receive re-treatment with Serostim at a dose of 4 mg daily for 12 weeks. During study 25373, safety was monitored by recording of adverse events and measurement of urinalysis and laboratory blood tests to assess fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and routine biochemistry and hematology parameters. At Week 12 or at the time of study termination, subjects underwent re-assessment of body composition via anthropometry measurements and dual photon absorptiometry (DXA) scanning. In addition, at study termination, measurements of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), insulin-like growth binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), fasting lipid profile, and oral glucose tolerance testing were obtained.
Twice daily fosamprenavir, in combination with low dose ritonavir (FPV/RTV BID), is indicated for the treatment of HIV-infected adults, adolescents and children of 6 years of age and above for use in combination with other anti-HIV medicines. Safety data from two GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) clinical trials (APV29005 - involving twice-daily doses of FPV with or without RTV and APV20003 - with once daily dosing of FPV/RTV among 2-18 year olds) indicated that gastrointestinal events were the most commonly reported AEs, but that the majority of events were mild and of short duration. Treatment emergent grade 3 / 4 neutropenia was reported in 20% of children in the APV20003 trial; and neutropenia was identified as a potential safety concern by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA). The objectives of this study were to conduct an observational cohort study of the usage and safety of FPV/RTV in children and adolescents (aged 6 ≤ 18 years) with HIV infection in several European HIV paediatric cohorts. Data will be collected for 3 years (2008, 2009 and 2010).
This US population-based study will explore the incidence of and risks for fracture among adults with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The objectives are to determine the incidence of fracture among persons with and without HIV infection, compare risk factors for fracture among persons with and without HIV infection, and to examine the associations of antiretroviral (ARV) treatment exposure for incidence and risk of fracture among persons with HIV infection.
This is a randomized controlled trial of injectable intramuscular naltrexone (XR-NTX) versus intramuscular placebo among HIV-infected prisoners meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) criteria for alcohol dependence or problem drinking, who are transitioning to the community and seeking treatment to prevent relapse to alcohol use. We hypothesize that extended release naltrexone (XR-NTX) will result in improved HIV outcomes (lower log10 HIV-1RNA levels and higher CD4 count) as well as improved alcohol treatment outcomes, and reduced drug/sex HIV related risk behaviors and decreased rates of reincarceration.
This non-interventional, post-marketing observational study was conducted to obtain safety data from the use of lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra), in clinical practice, in pregnant women and their children in Japan.
This non-interventional, post-marketing observational study was conducted to obtain data, such as safety and effectiveness, from the use of lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra) in clinical practice and investigate the necessity to conduct a follow-up post-marketing clinical study in Japan.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the tolerability of Kaletra (lopinavir/ritonavir) in combination with new substances such as integrase inhibitors (INIs), C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) antagonists, and new non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), as there are many reasons (intolerability, complex resistant patterns or even personal reasons) which may result in a change from the daily clinical routine and lead to the use of a newly approved antiretroviral agent in combination with Kaletra.
