Active clinical trials for "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome"

This is a 24-week study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a once-daily ritonavir-boosted fosamprenavir regimen (1400mg/100mg QD) to a 200mg ritonavir-boosted fosamprenavir regimen administered either twice-daily or once-daily.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of epoetin alfa versus placebo for the treatment of anemia in AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) patients with anemia that is a result of this disease and zidovudine (AZT) treatment. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of epoetin alfa versus placebo in AIDS patients for the treatment of anemia that is a result of the disease or a result of zidovudine (AZT) treatment for AIDS. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.

This 'pragmatic' trial is a 2X2 open randomized study of patients in advanced HIV disease who have failed on conventional Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) regimens including all three classes of anti-HIV drugs. The first randomization will allocate patients to an intended 3-month antiretroviral drug-free period (ARDFP) or No ARDFP. The second randomization will allocate patients to Mega-ART (5+ drugs) or to Standard-ART (up to 4 drugs). The total study duration is 6.5 years with 5 years of intake and 1.5 year (minimum) of follow-up; median duration of patient follow-up is about 4 years. The target sample size is 390 patients and will provide 75% power to detect a 30% reduction in the hazard rate for the primary endpoint with mega-ART. Sixty-four sites will be participating in the trial--24 VA, 19 UK and 21 Canada.

This study is a 48-week study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a fixed-dose combination tablet administered once-a-day versus the individual tablets administered twice-a-day within 3-drug combination regimens in ART (antiretroviral)-experienced HIV-1 infected patients.

This is a 48-week study to collect information on the safety and activity of an investigational medicine in patients, ages 2 to 18 years old, with HIV infection .

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of 3 anti-HIV combination treatments that do not use protease inhibitors (PIs). The current rule for starting treatment of HIV infection is to combine members from different classes of anti-HIV drugs, such as 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and either a PI or a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). However, these combinations can be complicated and difficult to take, can cause a number of side effects, and may become ineffective. Combinations that are simpler, better tolerated, and more effective are needed. Because PIs can cause long-term side effects and because HIV can become resistant to many of them at the same time, anti-HIV combination treatments that do not use PIs are being tested.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of 9 doses of HU in order to find the best dose of HU to use with ddI and d4T in fighting HIV infection. HU plus ddI plus d4T appears to be a suitable anti-HIV drug combination for long-term control of HIV. This combination can sharply decrease viral load (level of HIV in the body) with few side effects, making it easy to take.

The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give WF10 to adults with late-stage HIV disease. WF10 is suspected to help the immune system fight infection and slow HIV disease progression.

The objectives of this study are: To establish whether there is a difference in clinical effectiveness of Liposyn II 20 percent as compared with Liposyn III 2 percent in AIDS patients with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). To compare the effects of the two lipid emulsions on immunologic function in AIDS patients. To compare the effect of the two lipid emulsions on HIV load in AIDS patients as measured by reverse transcriptase (RT) in culture. To determine whether a decrease in HIV infectivity is greater in patients given a parenteral feeding regimen containing Liposyn II 20 percent or Liposyn III 2 percent.
