Active clinical trials for "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome"

This study will be a phase 1, open label, parallel group, three period crossover study to evaluate the effect of dolutegravir (DTG) on the steady state pharmacokinetics of metformin and on the safety and tolerability of dolutegravir and metformin. Subjects will have a screening visit within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug, three treatment periods, and a follow up visit 7-14 days after the last dose of study drug. Eligible subjects will be assigned to one of the two treatment cohorts. Subjects will receive metformin 500 milligram (mg) after every 12 hours (q12h) for 5 days in Period 1; metformin 500 mg q12h plus dolutegravir 50 mg after every 24 hours (q24h) (Cohort 1) or 50 mg q12h (Cohort 2) for 7 days in Period 2; and metformin 500 mg q12h for 10 days in Period 3. There will be no washout periods between treatments. All doses of study drug will be taken following a meal. Safety evaluations will be collected during each period. Serial pharmacokinetic (PK) samples will be collected for metformin on the last day of each period and for dolutegravir on the last day of Period 2.

GSK2838232 is a novel human immune virus (HIV) maturation inhibitor being developed for the treatment of chronic HIV infection. This study is the first administration of GSK2838232 in humans to establish the initial safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile following single doses of GSK2838232 and to evaluate the effect of food and ritonavir (RTV) on GSK2838232 in healthy subjects. There will be 2 cohorts in this study. In Cohort 1, approximately 8 healthy subjects will be enrolled (6 active and 2 placebo) at each dose visit. There will be four dosing sessions for each subject with subjects randomized to receive placebo in a random sequence. In Cohort 2, approximately 8 healthy subjects will be enrolled (6 active doses and 2 placebo doses at each dose visit). Cohort 2 will have four dosing sessions for each subject with subjects randomized to receive placebo in a random sequence.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cabozantinib s-malate in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment and human immunodeficiency virus. Cabozantinib s-malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This study is being conducted to comply with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendation that all new non anti-arrhythmic drugs be assessed for cardiac repolarization effects through electrocardiographic evaluation. Therefore, this study will evaluate the effect of GSK1265744 on cardiac conduction as assessed by collection of twelve-lead continuous digital data in healthy adults. This study will evaluate the effect of three doses of GSK1265744 on the QT duration corrected for heart rate (QTc) interval as compared to placebo. Moxifloxacin will be used as a positive control in order to validate the sensitivity of the study in detecting QTc change. This study consists of three treatment periods (each separated by 21 day washout period) followed by follow-up visit 10 to 14 days post last dosing. The total duration of study including follow-up visit will be approximately 62 days. Approximately 42 subjects will be enrolled such that 34 subjects complete dosing and critical assessments.

Background: - The immune system protects the body from infection. But it can also cause harm. For example, the clotting system makes blood clot and protects from bleeding. But blood clots are sometimes harmful. People with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have increased inflammation and clotting. This may increase their risk for diseases like stroke or heart attack. Researchers want to know how aspirin or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (so-called statin medications) affect the immune and clotting systems of people with HIV. Aspirin is a medicine to decrease clotting. Statins are medications given to lower cholesterol and decrease inflammation. Objectives: - To see how aspirin or statins change immune and clotting systems in people with HIV. Eligibility: - Adults 18 and older with HIV and a low viral load, not on aspirin or a statin medication. They must also have either: (1) never taken anti-HIV medications (ARVs), have a suppressed viral load, have stable CD4 counts, and never had an opportunistic infection; or (2) been taking ARVs for 5 continuous years and have a suppressed viral load for more than 3 years. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood and lab tests. Participants will repeat screening tests and have an MRI. An MRI is a way to visualize blood vessels in the neck and head. Participants will lie on a table that slides in and out of a cylinder surrounded by a magnetic field. Participants will take either study drug once daily for 9 months. Participants will have a blood procedure twice. Blood will be removed through a needle in one arm and circulated through a machine that removes white blood cells. The blood, minus white blood cells, is returned through a needle in the other arm. All participants will be observed for 3 months before and after treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acceptability and efficacy of a computer-based tailored information application designed to promote health literacy in persons treated for HIV infection. The study hypothesis is that the application will be acceptable and usable for persons treated for HIV infection, and will improve their levels of adherence to antiretroviral medication treatment.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of four doses of BMS-663068 with Raltegravir (RAL) + Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF). At least 1 dose of BMS-663068 can be identified which is safe, well tolerated, and efficacious when combined with RAL + TDF for treatment-experienced HIV-1 infected subjects.

Clinical approach to HIV infection treatment is based on the use of highly active antiretroviral therapies (HAART) and recent national and international guidelines for guiding HIV therapy recommend the use of triple-combination therapy using antiretrovirals with 2 nucleos(t)ide inhibitors [N(n)RTI] as backbone plus a third drug to be chosen among a boosted protease inhibitor (PI/r), a nonnucleoside inhibitor (NNRTI) or an integrase inhibitor (II). In spite of evident efficacy of HAART, as demonstrated by survival increasing, long term side effects, as for example the impact on renal function, remain principal problem. In patient with risk factor for renal disease, a reduction of eGRF (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) between 90 and 60 mL/min/1,73 m2 could be already considered as a risk condition [1,2]. Efficacy of HAART, with increase of media survival and the parallel decrease of mortality, has underlined the necessity to reflect on long term HAART effects [3]. There are many evidences of HAART-related toxicity that, in spite of the necessity of a life-saving therapy, focus on the additional costs of this situation, in terms of health as well as in terms of economic costs. Particular attention has been focused on the impact of some drugs on renal function, as tenofovir, especially on tubule, without forgetting the modification of lipid and bone metabolisms. According to further studies which have evidenced the potential of some recently introduced molecules [4,5], the investigators had the need to realize a study to deepen the feasibility of a dual-therapy that permit to exclude NRTIs from the backbone, with the aim to prevent NRTIs-related long-term toxicity. The investigators have designed a prospective randomized controlled trial, open-label, with a duration of 96 weeks, to compare the efficacy of a dual-therapy based on rilpivirine 25mg plus darunavir 800mg/ritonavir 100mg QD, in HIV-positive subjects with suppressed viremia from at least 3 months. In fact, there are a few data about association of these drugs, which it has been shown to be safe, well tolerated, and with a strong pharmacological synergy, without nucleos(t)idic backbone, while the necessity to minimize the costs toxicity-related is becoming increasingly compelling. According to clinical experience and literature data, the investigators hope this study shows positive results in term of immune-virological efficacy, as well as in term of decrease of VACS index - a complex parameter which has the purpose to quantify general organic decay - and markers of lipid and bone metabolism, in group which receives dual-therapy versus the group with standard therapy.

This is a single-center, randomized, two part, open-label, crossover study in healthy adult subjects. Part A will evaluate the relative bioavailability of two new tablet formulations compared to the current tablet formulation of GSK1349572 at 50 mg administered as single doses each comprising of two 25 mg tablets. Pharmacokinetic samples from Part A will be analyzed and, if at least one of the new formulations meets appropriate criteria and is selected, Part B will be a single-sequence design conducted to evaluate food effect of the selected new tablet formulation at one dose level. A subset of subjects enrolled in Part A will continue in Part B. Safety evaluations and serial PK samples will be collected during each treatment period. A follow-up visit will occur 7-28 days after the last dose of study drug.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety and tolerability of etravirine. Etravirine is a type of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) which has shown high activity against wild-type human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), and HIV strains resistant to other non-nucleotide agents.
