SP-303T Applied to the Skin of Patients With Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Infection and AIDS Who Have...
Herpes SimplexHIV InfectionsTo evaluate the safety and tolerance of topically applied SP-303T in AIDS patients. To observe the effect of this drug on herpes simplex virus lesions in patients who have failed to heal in response to oral or intravenous acyclovir therapy. The lack of alternative treatments for herpes simplex virus infection in patients with AIDS and the development of resistance to acyclovir for patients requiring repeated treatment presents a therapeutic dilemma for physicians. SP-303T has good in vitro activity against resistant strains and offers a convenient and inexpensive means of drug administration in comparison to the use of intravenous medication.
The Safety and Effectiveness of 935U83 in HIV-Infected Patients
HIV InfectionsTo assess the safety, tolerance, and steady-state pharmacokinetics of multiple oral doses of 935U83 administered to patients with HIV infection. To obtain preliminary evidence of antiretroviral activity of 935U83. To prospectively evaluate the emergence of in vitro drug resistance. To determine the effects of 935U83 dosing on CD4+ cell counts.
A Comparison of Atovaquone and Pentamidine in the Prevention of Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia in...
PneumoniaPneumocystis Carinii1 moreTo assess whether high dose or low dose atovaquone suspension is more effective than aerosolized pentamidine as prophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in high-risk HIV-infected patients. To compare the safety of chronic administration of the three regimens in patients with advanced HIV disease. To determine the relationship between steady state atovaquone plasma concentrations and prophylactic efficacy against PCP.
The Safety and Effectiveness of Retrovir Plus HIVID Combined With Either Nevirapine or Invirase...
HIV InfectionsTo evaluate the tolerance and immunologic and virologic effects of multidrug combinations of antiretrovirals in patients with HIV infection. Specifically, to evaluate zidovudine/zalcitabine ( AZT / ddC ) alone or in combination with either nevirapine or saquinavir ( Ro 31-8959 ). Administration of three-drug combinations for treatment of HIV infection is preferred over monotherapy or duotherapy. A system has been designed to rapidly evaluate current multidrug combinations of antiretrovirals and allow the addition of new agents as they become available.
A Pilot Study to Compare the Antiviral and Immunologic Effects of Stavudine ( d4T ) Versus Placebo...
HIV InfectionsTo compare the antiviral effect of stavudine ( d4T ) versus placebo in patients with evidence of recent HIV infection. Also, to compare the immunologic effects and effects on quality of life of d4T in these patients.
A Study of the Effects of Amprenavir, a Protease Inhibitor, on Carbohydrate and Fat Metabolism in...
HIV InfectionsThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a 3-drug anti-HIV regimen, amprenavir (APV) plus abacavir (ABC) plus lamivudine (3TC), on the way carbohydrates (sugars) and fats are metabolized (processed by the body) in HIV-infected patients who have received little or no previous anti-HIV drug therapy.
An Open-Label Phase I/II Study of Recombinant Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (r-metHuG-CSF)...
HIV InfectionsTo evaluate the safety, tolerance, and biological activity of filgrastim (recombinant granulocyte colony stimulating factor; G-CSF) given by daily subcutaneous injection prior to and concomitantly with erythropoietin (EPO) and zidovudine (AZT) in patients with AIDS or severe ARC. To evaluate the safety, tolerance, and biological activity of recombinant EPO given three times weekly by subcutaneous injection concomitantly with G-CSF and prior to and concomitantly with AZT in patients with AIDS or severe ARC. To study the safety and tolerance of three dose levels of AZT given concomitantly with G-CSF and EPO in patients with AIDS or severe ARC. To study the effects of G-CSF on neutrophil function and number in patients with AIDS or severe ARC. To study the effect of G-CSF alone and in combination with EPO on HIV replication in vivo as measured by circulating HIV p24 antigen, plasma HIV viremia, and semiquantitative HIV cocultures.
An Open, Multicenter Study of Foscarnet Treatment of Acyclovir-Resistant Herpes Simplex Virus in...
Herpes SimplexHIV InfectionsTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of intermittent intravenous (IV) foscarnet in the treatment of acyclovir-resistant herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections in AIDS patients and other immunocompromised patients. To evaluate the necessity, efficacy, and safety of IV maintenance foscarnet therapy in preventing recurrent disease. To confirm the pharmacokinetics of intermittent induction and maintenance IV regimens.
A Phase II/III Study of Cysteamine (Mercaptoethylamine) and Zidovudine for the Treatment of HIV...
HIV InfectionsTo determine the safety and tolerance of low-dose versus high-dose cysteamine administered concurrently with zidovudine (AZT). To determine the pharmacokinetics and effects on immune function and viral load in patients receiving these drug regimens.
A Study of WF 10 IV Solution in Patients With Advanced HIV Disease
HIV InfectionsThe purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give WF 10 (TCDO) to patients with advanced HIV disease who cannot or will not take zidovudine, didanosine, zalcitabine, or stavudine. This study also examines how TCDO affects the levels of HIV in the body. TCDO is a solution delivered through a vein.
