Active clinical trials for "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome"

Late diagnosed HIV-infected subjects show impaired immunological recovery resulting in a greater risk of clinical progression. Gut bacteria metabolism appears to impact immune recovery in HIV-infected subjects, and while nutritional interventions with prebiotics and probiotics seem to exert immunological effects, the clinical implications in this key population remain unknown. This is a pilot multicenter randomized placebo-controlled, double blind clinical trial in HIV-infected ART-naive subjects with <350 CD4 T cells/mm3 or AIDS. Participants will be randomized (1:1) to either the synbiotic nutritional supplement PMT25341 or placebo for 48 weeks, each in combination with first-line ART. Primary outcomes will be safety and immunological recovery. Secondary outcomes will include changes in fecal microbiota structure and plasma inflammatory markers.

GSK2838232 is a novel HIV-1 maturation inhibitor (MI) that is being developed for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in combination with other antiretroviral therapy (ART). This study will be a 10-day monotherapy, open-label, adaptive, dose ranging, repeat-dose study. This study will be conducted in two Parts (Part A and Part B) consisting single daily doses of GSK2838232 and Cobicistat from Day 1 to Day 10. This proof of concept open-label study will be aimed to characterize the acute antiviral activity, pharmacokinetics (PK), the relationship between PK and antiviral activity, and safety of GSK2838232/cobi administered across a range of doses over 10 days in HIV-1 infected patients. A cohort of 10 subjects will be studied in Part I followed by interim (go/no-go) analysis of Part A data. On completion of an interim analysis of part A data, further cohorts of 8 subjects will then be studied in Part B in a parallel design in two or more cohorts (depending upon the data obtained in Part A). Approximately 34 HIV-1 infected treatment-naive subjects will be enrolled during the study. Subjects in both parts will have a screening visit within 30 days prior to first dose and a follow-up visit 7-14 days after the last dose. Maximum duration of study participation will be approximately 6 Weeks.

This is an prospective open label pilot study conducted over 32 weeks. A total of 25 eligible participants who are infected with HCV and HIV will be recruited from 2 Canadian HIV Trials Network (CTN) sites (Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and McGill University Health Centre) This study is investigating the effectiveness of a combination of Elvitegravir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/ Tenofovir Alafenamide Single Tablet Regimen (E/C/F/TAF STR) for HIV treatment and Harvoni for HCV treatment. This study will assess the effect that the study drug has on the metabolism of sugar, the changes in fat in the bloodstream, and other metabolic changes. Metabolism is the process your body uses to get or make energy from the food you eat. This study may provide information on the impact of liver fibrosis (scarring of liver tissues) on metabolic changes before, during and after HCV antiviral therapy. Drug-drug interactions (DDI) between E/C/F/TAF and LPV-SOF have been well evaluated and no clinically significant interactions have been identified. A switch to E/C/F/TAF in the context of LPV-SOF HCV antiviral treatment preparation may be particularly beneficial because of its: favorable side effect profile once daily STR formulation known DDI profile with LPV-SOF neutral effect on liver fibrosis improved kidney and bone safety profile with the use of TAF Conduct of this study is justified as it: Assesses a minimal pill count and dosing frequency strategy of co-treatment of HIV and HCV using well tolerated medications with an excellent safety profile and known DDI profile. Provides additional safety data for TAF in the HIV-HCV co-infected population. Quantifies adherence and identifies obstacles to full adherence in this population. There is a paucity of data related to DAA adherence in licensing studies. Provides real-world safety and efficacy data to support the public funding for LPV-SOF DAA therapy in HIV-HCV co-infected populations. Provides preliminary data on the immunologic and metabolic consequences of HCV clearance in HIV-HCV co-infection As a pilot study, the information gathered will inform the feasibility of future clinical trials evaluating novel treatment strategies for HIV-HCV co-infected patients.

The overall objective is to determine the influence of timing of ART initiation and alcohol consumption on HIV disease course. ART initiation immediately after HIV infection largely results in smaller HIV reservoir and lower HIV-associated systemic inflammation, which has been linked to non-AIDS morbidity and mortality. Immediate ART also reduces HIV-associated bacterial translocation and may prevent intestinal microbiome dysbiosis, that has been linked to increased systemic inflammation. Immediate intervention is not, however, generally feasible and more information is required about the consequences of starting ART at later time-points, but still early after acquisition. The study will be conducted in Lima, Peru, in a cohort of 180 MSM and transgender women (TW) with acute (Ab-, HIV RNA+) or recent (≤ 3 months) HIV infection. Alcohol use disorder (AUDIT score ≥8) is present in ~50% of HIV + participants in our cohort, four times higher than that seen among males in the general Peruvian population. Although the role of alcohol use in HIV pathogenesis and disease course remains unclear, some studies show a correlation with accelerated disease progression. The effects of alcohol resemble early post-infection changes in bacterial translocation and pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by HIV and their impact on HIV disease course before and after ART initiation remain unexplored. Specific Aim 1: To determine the relative long-term benefits of immediate vs. early vs. delayed ART initiation at 24 weeks after diagnosis. The investigators will study outcomes after 2 and 4 years in MSM and TW diagnosed with acute or recent HIV infection. Specific Aim 2: To determine the impact of alcohol use on the relative long-term benefits of immediate vs. early vs. delayed initiation of ART.

The study will evaluate the safety and therapeutic efficacy of the human monoclonal antibody (mAb) VRC-HIVMAB060-00-AB (VRC01), when administered during analytic treatment interruption (ATI), in adults who began antiretroviral therapy (ART) during early acute HIV infection.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two interventions [a Brief Intervention (BI) and a Motivational Enhancement Therapy+Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MET+CBT) Intervention], against each other and with an assessment-only control, in improving both alcohol- and HIV-related outcomes, among hazardous and heavy drinking HIV-infected antiretroviral therapy (ART) clinic clients in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a two-arm effectiveness trial in Cape Town, South Africa of a Xhosa-adapted, nurse-delivered, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) treatment for depression and adherence, integrated into the HIV care setting in patients with HIV who did not achieve viral suppression from first-line treatment. The CBT treatment will be compared to enhanced usual care (Enhanced Treatment As Usual - ETAU) on study endpoints (as described in study endpoints section below).

Dolutegravir (DTG) and lamivudine (3TC) are indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Fixed dose combination (FDC) tablets of existing approved drugs are preferred by many patients and offer the potential for increased patient adherence and consequently a reduced likelihood of virological failure and viral resistance. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the relative bioavailability of two experimental FDC tablets of DTG and 3TC relative to co-administration of the single entity products in healthy adult subjects. This study will be conducted as a randomized, open label three-way, crossover design with 6 treatment sequences in approximately 30 subjects. Each subject will have a screening visit within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug, three treatment periods each with a single dose of study drug and a follow-up visit within 7-14 days after the last dose of study drug. There will be at least 7 days washout between dosing periods. The total duration of participation of a subject in this study will be approximately 9 weeks.

The principal objective is to evaluate the antiviral efficacy of 48 weeks treatment with the two-drugs combination dolutegravir(Tivicay®) and lamivudine(TEpivir®) in HIV-1 infected patients virologically suppressed with triple HAART.

This three-arm cross-over randomized trial will develop, test, and compare the efficacy of two delivery formats of the Young Women's CoOp (YWC), which is designed to provide risk reduction and empowerment skills, as well as linkages to healthcare services for women who use substances. The current study will develop a revised version of the YWC and evaluate the relative efficacy of a face-to-face (face-to-face YWC), mobile Health application (mHealth YWC) delivery format, and HIV counseling and testing (HCT) as a control to reduce risky sexual behaviors and reduce substance use among young (18-25) African American women who use substances and are sexually active and have not recently been tested for HIV in three NC counties.
