Active clinical trials for "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome"

A randomized trial to test the feasibility and acceptability of an intervention to improve retention in HIV primary care in HIV-infected Hispanic immigrants compared to a "treatment as usual" condition. We will measure feasibility, acceptability, study retention, and effect sizes of outcomes in order to inform a larger trial. The intervention design is based on qualitative research with HIV-infected Hispanic immigrants and their HIV providers. The intervention will be led by a Spanish-speaking community health worker trained in HIV health promotion.

This study will be conducted in two Parts to confirm the acceptability/selection of a tablet formulation for future clinical development of GSK2838232. Part 1 of the study will assess single ritonavir (RTV)-boosted doses of a new tablet formulation given with food (containing approximately 30% fat) against the reference capsule formulation also given with food and then will assess the impact of fasted conditions on the tablet performance. In Part 2, non-boosted GSK2838232 will be given as once-daily tablet doses for 11 days in a separate group of subjects, assuming the tablet performance is considered acceptable from Part 1. Approximately 16 healthy subjects will be enrolled to provide at least 12 evaluable subjects through the three study periods in Part 1. 10 healthy subjects will be enrolled to provide at least 8 evaluable subjects through the single study period in Part 2. The maximum duration of study participation will be approximately 9 to 10 weeks for Part 1; and 8 to 9 weeks for Part 2.

In the proposed R34 grant, the investigators will develop and test a strategy of immediate fast-track care. The study population will include adult patients with early HIV infection. Participants will be randomized to immediate fast-track or standard (deferred fast-track) care. All participants will receive same-day HIV testing and ART initiation prior to study enrollment. The intervention group will receive immediate fast-track care, which is conditional upon timely visits, and after 24 weeks in care, an undetectable viral load (HIV-1 RNA <200 copies/ml). The standard group will be eligible to start fast-track care at 24 weeks, if they are on time for that visit and have an undetectable viral load. Participants in either group who are >3 days late for any fast-track visit will lose fast-track care for that visit; those in either group with detectable viremia on their 24-week viral load test will be evaluated by a physician, with follow-up visits every 4 weeks until they have an undetectable viral load. Participants will be followed for 48 weeks. With the proposed pilot study, the investigators aim to conduct the formative work that is necessary to successfully implement a future clinical trial with the same primary outcome. The investigators hypothesize that immediate fast-track care will result in higher retention with viral suppression.

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and implementation of a brief, integrated behavioral intervention for HIV medication adherence and substance use in the HIV care setting in South Africa. The intervention is specifically designed to be implemented by non-specialist counselors using a task sharing model in local HIV clinics. The behavioral intervention will be compared to usual care, enhanced with referral to a local outpatient substance use treatment program (Enhanced Standard of Care - ESOC) on study endpoints (as described in study endpoint section below).

The Plan and Pledge pilot will incorporate behavioral economics approaches (nudges) into the pre-existing STAR self-test fixed-site distribution program, implemented by Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute (Wits RHI) at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. The objective of this pilot is to examine the use of commitment strategies to increase uptake of HIV self-testing in South Africa.

Human immuno deficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) infections continues to be a serious health threat throughout the world and development of medicines with new mechanism of action have an important role to play. GSK3640254 is a maturation inhibitor (MI) and can be effective in HIV-1 treatment. This randomized, 2-part, single and repeat increasing dose study will collect information on safety, tolerability and drug levels in the body of in healthy subjects for GSK3640254. The information collected in this study will help in further clinical development of GSK3640254, including a Phase IIA Proof of Concept (PoC) study in HIV-infected subjects. Approximately 16 healthy subjects will be randomized to receive single oral dose of GSK3640254 and placebo in Part 1 and approximately 56 healthy subjects will be randomized to receive repeat oral dose of GSK3640254 or placebo in Part 2. All doses will be given immediately after a moderate fat meal. Maximum duration of study participation will be approximately 12 weeks.

DTG 50 milligram (mg) tablet was approved for marketing in Russian Federation; however, DTG is not currently available for subjects at Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Centers as it is not available for order and supply via Federal program. This study is an open-label study which will include subjects, who complete taking DTG in studies ING112276, ING113086, ING114915, ING111762, and those subjects who end participation in study 200304 in which they received either DTG or lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/RTV). DTG will be supplied at a dose of 50 mg once daily to eligible subjects until the subject stops taking DTG or transitions to commercial supply of DTG when available at AIDS Centers via the Federal program. The objective of this study is to bridge the gap between the closure of ING112276, ING113086, ING114915, ING111762 or end of subject's participation in 200304 and the actual availability of commercial DTG at AIDS Centers via Federal program for human immunodeficiency (HIV)-1-infected adult subjects in Russian Federation. The study will also investigate long-term safety of DTG for subjects continuing DTG in Russian Federation.

This study aims to compare the bioequivalence of two experimental fixed dose combination (FDC) tablets versus single entity products of dolutegravir (DTG) and lamivudine (3TC) in healthy adult subjects. The study will be carried out in two parts. Part 1 of the study will be open label, up to 3 periods design with a wash out period of at least 7 days between treatment periods. Subjects will be randomized to receive either single entities or formulation 1 FDC of DTG and 3TC in a crossover manner in first 2 periods. The first 16 subjects who complete the first two treatment periods and consent to continue will receive a single dose of FDC formulation 1 tablet administered with a high fat meal for a third treatment period. In Part 2 of the study, subjects will be randomized to receive either single entities or formulation 2 FDC of DTG and 3TC in a crossover manner in first 2 periods. Similarly the first 16 subjects will then receive FDC formulation 2 tablets with high fat meal in treatment period 3. Subjects will have a follow-up visit within 7-14 days after the last dose of study drug. Approximately 76 healthy subjects will be included in Part 1 of the study and if Part 2 of the study is conducted, another 76 healthy subjects will be included. The total duration will be approximately 11 weeks.

A low CD4/CD8 ratio is considered a surrogate marker of immunosenescence and is an independent predictor of non-AIDS-related morbidity and mortality. Given the strong clinical implications the impact of different regimens on the CD4/CD8 ratio recovery needs to be analyzed. The MERIT study is a completed a randomized, double-blind, multicenter phase IIb/III study with an open-label extension phase (240-week follow-up) to assess the efficacy of zidovudine/lamivudine in combination with maraviroc (MVC) or efavirenz (EFV) in treatment-naïve patients. Anonymised patient level data of the MERIT trial to compare the trajectories of the CD4/CD8 ratio of participants treated with maraviroc vs. efavirenz will be used.
