Active clinical trials for "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome"

There has been reports that low dose prednisolone stabilizes CD4-counts in HIV infected individuals. However, until now, there are no prospective randomized studies on the use of corticosteroids in latent HIV disease. Furthermore, low dose prednisolone (5 mg/d) is not sufficient tested for the risks and benefit for HIV patients especially for those living in poor settings with a higher risk of infections. This study will assess the benefit and the safety profile for low dose prednisolone therapy for patients in a region with limited resources and high prevalence of infections.

The study is being conducted to evaluate whether African potato, an herbal medicine, can be used together with anti-HIV medicines without affecting the amounts of the anti-HIV medicines in the blood. African potato is an African herbal medicine widely used in Africa, particularly sub-Saharan Africa. Although it has not been proven, it is believed to help boost the immune system. Similar studies have been done on herbal medicines especially those that are used in developing countries. In some cases, the herbal treatments can affect the blood levels of other medicines when the medicines are used together. This study will measure the effect of African potato on lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra®), a common anti-HIV medicine. Lopinavir/ritonavir is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The information obtained from this study will tell us if African potato and anti-HIV treatments can be used together to treat HIV infected patients in Africa and other resource poor regions.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of vitamin D supplementation in children, adolescents and young adults with Human Immunodeficiency Virus and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). The study is a 12-month randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study of vitamin D3 (vit D) supplementation using 7000IU/day based on evidence from the Vit D Dose Finding Study-IRB 09-007332.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TMC435 along with pegylated interferon alpha-2a (PegIFNα-2a) and ribavirin (RBV) triple therapy in hepatitis C virus genotype-1 infected subjects, co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus-type 1, and to evaluate the number of patients with sustained virologic response (SVR) at 12 weeks after the planned end of treatment.

This study will evaluate the efficacy of Stribild® (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF)) single-tablet regimen (STR) after switching from a regimen consisting of raltegravir plus Truvada® (FTC/TDF) at baseline in maintaining HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 12 in virologically suppressed, HIV-1 infected adults. This study will also evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Stribild over 24 and 48 weeks of treatment.

This study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of cobicistat-boosted darunavir plus two fully active nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors in HIV 1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with no darunavir (DRV) resistance-associated mutations. After the Week 48 Visit, participants will be given the option to participate in an open-label rollover phase to receive cobicistat and attend visits every 12 weeks until it becomes commercially available, or until Gilead Sciences elects to terminate development of cobicistat.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of telaprevir, given with pegylated-interferon-alfa-2a (Peg-IFN-alfa-2a) and ribavirin (RBV) in the treatment of hepatitis C in patients infected with both chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV-1) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1).

GSK1349572 is an integrase inhibitor that is currently in Phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of HIV infection. As GSK1349572 development progresses, it may be dosed with non-nucleoside HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) including efavirenz (EFV, Sustiva). Efavirenz is a known inducer of CYP3A4. GSK1349572 is primarily metabolized via UGT1A1, however it also has a CYP component to its metabolism, thus a drug interaction between GSK1349572 and EFV is likely. A previous study showed that another NNRTI, etravirine which is also a known inducer of CYP3A and UGT, reduced GSK1349572 exposure significantly. GSK1349572 is not an inhibitor or inducer of CYP3A and is not expected to have impact on pharmacokinetics (PK) of EFV. This study will investigate the dose proportionality between single doses of 50mg and 100mg of GSK1349572 and will compare steady-state plasma PK, safety and tolerability of GSK1349572 50 mg every 24h (q24h) with and without efavirenz 600 mg q24h. Approximately 12 subjects will receive a single dose of GSK1349572 100 mg (Treatment A) in Period 1 followed by a washout of greater than or equal to 6 days. In Period 2 subjects will receive GSK1349572 50mg q24h for 5 days (Treatment B). Subjects will then be administered GSK1349572 50mg q24h in the morning in combination with EFV 600 mg q24h (Treatment C) in the evening for 14 days in Period 3. There will be no washout between Periods 2 and 3. Safety evaluations and serial PK samples for GSK1349572 will be collected during each treatment period. A follow-up visit will occur 7-14 days after the last dose of study drug. This study will be conducted at one center in the US, with healthy adult male and female subjects.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether a dosing adjustment is needed in patients with renal impairment.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of the lopinavir/ritonavir tablet when administered in combination with reverse transcriptase inhibitors to lopinavir/ritonavir tablets when administered in combination with a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 ( HIV-1) integrase inhibitor in antiretroviral naive HIV-1 infected subjects.
