Active clinical trials for "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome"

This study seeks to measure the costs associated with HIV prevention service delivery to female sex workers (FSW) in Nigeria, as well as examine the relationship between management practices at the community-based organizations (CBOs) and costs. To complete these goals, the study will collect both retrospective and prospective data from CBOs and from centralized information from study partners (Society for Family Health, SFH). In the prospective section of the study, CBOs will be sampled and assigned to either treatment or control groups. Data collected at the CBOs will be aggregated by the CBO managers, and those in the treatment group will receive feedback on their performance on a monthly basis. Those in the treatment group will additionally receive a management training to guide their management practices. Researchers hypothesize that there will be improvements in management indicators and therefore decreases in costs at CBOs in the treatment group. Results will be disseminated to local, national, and international stakeholders.

This is a phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of combination therapy with Albuvirtide (ABT) and 3BNC117 in virologically suppressed subjects with HIV-1 infection and explore the potential of viral suppression and viral reservoir clearance after analytical treatment interruption (ATI).

There are few randomized clinical trials in advanced HIV patients. This is a multicenter, randomized, open clinical trial, comparing 2 parallel groups, to compare the immunological reconstitution and the virological efficacy and safety of 2 different combinations of antiretroviral therapy given once a day (QD): abacavir plus lamivudine plus either dolutegravir, or darunavir-ritonavir during 96 weeks in advanced antiretroviral naïve HIV-1 infected patients with less than 100 CD4+ T-cells/mm3. Primary endpoint is the median increase in CD4+ T-cell count at 48 weeks after starting HAART.

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of an in-person peer mentoring and health literacy intervention on improving medication adherence, HIV-1 viral load, CD4+ T lymphocyte counts, and HIV medical appointment attendance among newly-diagnosed and/or medication non-adherent HIV-positive individuals, compared to standard of care provider/staff-delivered education.

The primary objective is to compare & evaluate between the treatment groups the changes in decline/reduction of HIV viral load & increase changes in WBC white blood cell counts in the adult Remune dose vs the low dose Remune placebo groups. Additional objectives include changes in CD4+ & CD8+ T cell counts along with increased HIV immunity.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether cognitive rehabilitation or psychoeducation impacts medication adherence in HIV-1 seropositive individuals.

The PIVOT trial aims to determine whether a strategy of switching to PI monotherapy is non-inferior to continuing triple-therapy, in terms of the proportion of patients who maintain all the drug treatment options that were available to them at baseline after at least 3 years of follow-up, and to compare clinical events, safety, toxicity and health economic parameters between the two strategies.

To assess the maternal and infant safety of a single daily fixed-dose combination of TDF/FTC/EFV (Atripla®), compared to the association of LPV/r (Kaletra® or Aluvia®) and 3TC/ZDV (Combivir®) given to African women to prevent overall MTCT in populations practicing breastfeeding.

Protocol Summary Title: Evaluation of safety and efficacy of two different once daily anti-retroviral treatment regimens along with anti-tuberculosis treatment in patients with HIV-1 and tuberculosis - Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial Phase: Phase III trial Population: 180 HIV-1 positive patients with tuberculosis Number of Sites: Four. Tuberculosis Research Centre, Chennai Government Medical College, Vellore Government Hospital of Thoracic Medicine, Tambaram Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai Study Duration: 26 months including 24 months of ART. Study Objectives: Primary Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of two different once-daily anti-retroviral treatment regimens (along with standard anti-tuberculosis treatment) in patients with HIV-1 and tuberculosis, by using virologic end points. Secondary Objective To compare the efficacy of antiretroviral treatment given under partial supervision with unsupervised treatment (once a month supply).

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (also known as tenofovir DF or Viread) is used with other anti-HIV drugs to treat HIV infection. Taking tenofovir DF every day may also prevent HIV infection. This study will determine if taking a tenofovir DF tablet every day is safe and effective in preventing HIV infection. Participants in the study will be sex workers in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
