Active clinical trials for "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome"

This randomized clinical trial is an adolescent focused implementation science study directed at improved social support and prevention of both HIV/STI's and subsequent unplanned pregnancies. The study population is pregnant adolescents who are attending antenatal care in Kampala, Uganda The acceptability and effectiveness of two enhanced peer lead, reproductive health promotion interventions compared to routine health care will be studied. The study participants will be individually randomized to one of three arms.

The current food effect study is being performed to support a Phase 3 study with BMS 663068. Results from this study will inform whether patients in the upcoming Phase 3 study can be given the flexibility to dose BMS-663068 in the fasted state, if so desired.

This open-label, fixed-sequence crossover study aims to evaluate the effect of GSK1265744 (744) oral administration on the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of a commonly used oral contraceptive (OC) product (combination of ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel), in 20 healthy female subjects. Each subject will participate in a Run-in Period (if needed), followed by a single-sequence Treatment Period. Subjects will receive oral contraceptive containing Levonorgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol on Days 1 to 21 and be OC free on Days 22 to 28, during which withdrawal menses should occur. Subjects will receive OC alone on Days 1 to 10. Levonorgestrel (LNG) and ethinyl estradiol (EE) PK will be determined on Day 10. Subjects will then co-administer 744 and OC on Days 11 to 21. Levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol PK will be determined again on Day 21 to assess if co-administration with 744 results in a significant change in OC exposure compared to OC alone. Subjects will return to the study center for final follow-up evaluations 7 to 14 days after the last dose of study medication (Days 28 to 35).

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of BMS-955176 on the pharmacokinetics of coadministered oral contraceptives.

This research project will study whether the drug telmisartan administered in conjunction with antiretroviral therapy (ART) will help reduce nervous system infection with HIV. The investigators are studying the effect of this treatment in people who have contracted HIV infection within the past three weeks, and thus have a form of HIV called acute HIV infection. The investigators will measure biological markers of immune activation in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid to see if telmisartan may reduce the spread of HIV reservoirs in affected patients.

LAI115428 is a Phase I, randomized, repeat dose escalation study to determine the safety, tolerability, and PK profile of intramuscular and subcutaneous injections of GSK1265744 in a long acting parenteral (LAP) formulation in healthy subjects. Subjects will be randomized to 3 monthly dosing cohorts and 1 quarterly dosing cohort with either intramuscular or subcutaneous dosing. In the monthly dosing cohorts subjects will receive GSK1265744 alone for 2 months and then in combination with TMC278 long acting parenteral (LA) for 2 months. For the quarterly dosing cohort, 2 quarterly intramuscular doses of GSK1265744 LAP will be given alone. Three dose levels of GSK1265744 will be evaluated partly in combination with TMC278 LA to adequately characterize the GSK1265744 LAP and TMC278 LA safety, tolerability, and PK profile. A total enrolment of approximately 40 healthy subjects is planned for this study.

The overall aim of this project is to evaluate the immunogenicity of TIV vaccination in HIV-infected non-pregnant women in 2013. Safety data including solicited local and systemic reactions to the vaccine will also be assessed.

Recent studies have shown that many drug-using minority women are vulnerable to HIV infection from their husbands or other intimate male partners. The goal of this study is to develop and evaluate two new HIV counseling and testing programs designed for drug-using women at risk for HIV from a primary male partner. It is predicted that HIV counseling and testing programs administered to couples rather than to women only, and programs that focus on intimate relationships in the context of HIV risk, will result in a reduction of risky sexual and drug-related behavior among drug-using women and their primary male partners. This four-year study employs a randomized clinical trial (RCT) design to test the effectiveness of two new HIV counseling and testing programs for women drug-users in Harlem and the South Bronx in New York City.

A 48-week, open label, non comparative prospective trial in stable chronic human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients having achieved complete virological suppression for more than 24 weeks (human immunodeficiency virus-1 RNA <50 c/ml) switching from an antiretroviral regimen containing tenofovir and lamivudine or emtricitabine and boosted protease inhibitor to boosted atazanavir and lamivudine Study visits will take place at screening, baseline, weeks 4, 12, 24, and 48.

Combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) effectively suppresses viral replication, leading to a significant immune recovery and a dramatic reduction in the incidence of AIDS-defining events. However, approximately 20% of individuals who exhibit stable viral suppression by ART, but fail to achieve sufficient immune reconstitution and are considered immune nonresponders (INRs). These INRs often experience an increased risk of opportunistic infections and shorter life expectancy compared with matched immune responders.Therefore, efficiently treating these immune nonresponders has become one of the most difficult challenges in the clinic.
