Active clinical trials for "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome"

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of darunavir/ritonavir 800/100 mg once a day (O.D.) as a monotherapy versus a triple combination therapy containing 2 nucleosides and darunavir/ritonavir in 250 HIV-1 infected patients who have been on Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) and have plasma viral load below 50 copies/ml for at least 24 weeks.

This study will test whether taking a pill of tenofovir (an antiretroviral medicine) is safe for sexually-active young adults in Botswana without HIV infection and whether it will reduce their risk of getting an HIV infection.

This study will compare the ability of fosamprenavir 700 mg with ritonavir 100 mg twice a day or lopinavir 400 mg with ritonavir 100 mg twice a day both combined with a fixed dose combination tablet of abacavir 600 mg and lamivudine 300 mg once a day to suppress virus levels of HIV to less than 400 copies/mL of blood. In addition we will study the safety and tolerability of these compounds over the 48 week study period in patients naive to anti-HIV therapy.

Drug abuse and HIV/AIDS are serious global health problems. Injection drug use is currently the major mode of transmission of HIV in many countries. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of drug and risk reduction counseling combined with either substitution drug treatment with buprenorphine/naloxone (BUP/NX) or short-term detoxification with BUP/NX in preventing HIV transmission among injection drug users. Participants will be recruited for this study in China and Thailand.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of etravirine, administered as part of an individually optimized antiretroviral therapy (ART), in human immunodeficiency virus Type 1 (HIV-1) infected participants.

The purpose of this study is to determine any adverse effects of PRO 542 after administration and to determine the anti-HIV effects of PRO 542 in the patient.

This is a 48 week study that is intended for HIV Infected persons whose first treatment regimen was with a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) and who are now failing that regimen. They must be currently on their failing regimen to be eligible.

The best anti-HIV treatment regimen for pregnant women is not known. Protease inhibitors (PIs) are often used, but they have side effects that may be harmful for pregnant women. It is not known if treatment regimens that do not include PIs are as effective in pregnant women as those that include PIs. This trial will compare two anti-HIV treatment plans, one with and one without PIs, in women who start HIV treatment during pregnancy. The study will evaluate the effects of the anti-HIV drugs on the developing infant and prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission during pregnancy.

A 48-week study to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a new compact formulation of two already FDA-approved anti-HIV drugs in subjects who have already been receiving treatment for their HIV infection.

To 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.
