Testing a Novel Data-to-Suppression (D2S) Intervention Strategy in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program...
HivThe Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) for low-income people with HIV (PWH) is a key resource for reducing HIV health disparities and scaling up evidence-based interventions. As RWHAP serves >50% of US PWH, RWHAP outcomes are vital to achieving "getting-to-zero"/ Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Plan targets. As a grantee for RWHAP Part A (RWPA) funding distributed to the counties/cities severely affected by HIV, New York City (NYC) conducts regular HIV care continuum monitoring citywide and in its RWPA programs, which offer support services to reduce social and behavioral barriers to care/treatment. Local data consistently show lower viral suppression (VS) among RWPA clients in HIV care than among non-RWPA PWH in HIV care. Relative to NYC HIV cases overall, NYC RWPA clients (~14,000 per year) over-represent Black and Latinx PWH and high-poverty neighborhoods. To address local outcome disparities and to fill gaps left by data-to-care strategies and research focused on medical care (re-)linkage, the investigators propose to implement and rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of a novel 'data-to-suppression' (D2S) intervention among RWPA behavioral health and housing program clients who are in HIV care but unsuppressed. Surveillance-based reports on unsuppressed clients plus D2S capacity-building assistance will guide RWPA providers in targeting and delivering evidence-informed strategies to improve VS.
Safety of and Immune Response to Dolutegravir in HIV-1 Infected Infants, Children, and Adolescents...
HIV InfectionsDolutegravir (DTG) is an HIV drug in the integrase inhibitor drug class. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability of and immune response to DTG when used concurrently with optimized background therapy (OBT) in HIV-1 infected infants, children, and adolescents.
Efficacy of BIC/F/TAF Versus Standard of Care in the Treatment of New HIV Infection Diagnoses in...
Human Immunodeficiency VirusThe administration of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) to HIV-infected patients has been associated with a dramatic reduction in AIDS-related morbidity and mortality. Time to cART start is currently approximately 2-4 weeks after diagnosis, mostly deferred for reasons of waiting for baseline blood test results; in particular HIV genotype, CD4 count, OI screen and logistics of a consultant clinical review. Whilst there is a clear rationale for this delay there is a risk of loss to follow-up as well as the potential risk of onward viral transmission. The balance between "readiness" to start ART against pragmatic and practical safe initiation of treatment needs to be tested using currently available safe potent antiretroviral agents in a head-to-head comparison study to allow careful rigorous comparisons of outcomes. This study will recruit 36 newly diagnosed HIV patients to be started on treatment immediately upon diagnosis. This would optimally be within 7 days, for eligibility to the study up to 14 days will be permissible. Patients will be randomised to one of two open-label combination therapies known to be highly effective; Biktarvy or Symtuza. The patients will receive study treatment for 48 weeks. The two therapies will be compared by the change in HIV viral load from start of treatment to 12 weeks. Further clinical data will be recorded for the trial patients and exploratory investigations undertaken. As those recruited to the trial may not be representative of the full cohort of newly diagnosed HIV patients there will also be data collected on all newly diagnosed patients in a given period. This data will contribute to conclusions on the benefits and issues of implementing test and treat.
Switch to Doravirine/Islatravir (DOR/ISL) in Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) Participants...
HIV InfectionThis study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a switch to MK-8591A (a fixed dose combination of doravirine and islatravir) in human immunodeficiency virus -1 (HIV-1)-infected participants virologically suppressed on a regimen of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF). The primary hypothesis is that a switch to MK-8591A will be non-inferior to continued treatment with BIC/FTC/TAF as assessed by the proportion of participants with HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) ≥50 copies/mL at Week 48. Participants who benefit from their assigned intervention (as determined by investigator) will be able to continue treatment through a 24-week study extension.
Lamivudine/Dolutegravir in Virologically Suppressed Subjects With Expected or Confirmed Resistance...
HIV InfectionsDolutegravir (DTG) plus lamivudine (3TC) is a dual regimen combination recommended for both naïve and suppressed persons with HIV-1 infection1. However, data regarding the efficacy of this regimen in suppressed persons with history of past resistance or virologic failures is currently insufficient. This is a phase IIa, open-label, single arm, multicentric study. The hypothesis is that therapy with DTG/3TC would be able to maintain viral control in HIV infected participants with prior history of 3TC resistance but without evidence of M184V/I resistance mutation in proviral DNA population sequencing at baseline. The investigators also hypothesize that archived minority 3TC resistance associated mutations detected by next-generation (NGS) sequencing prior to the switch would not have a significant impact on the efficacy of DTG/3TC.
A Study to Evaluate the Antiviral Effect, Safety and Tolerability of GSK3810109A in Viremic Human...
HIV InfectionsThis study is to evaluate antiviral activity, efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GSK3810109A in HIV-1 infected treatment naive adults. Participants will receive a single dose of GSK3810109A administered either intravenously (IV) or subcutaneously (SC). The study includes a screening phase, a randomized monotherapy phase and a standard of care follow-up phase.
The Getting Off App for Methamphetamine-Using Gay and Bisexual Men
Methamphetamine AbuseHIV/AIDSA commonly used manualized outpatient methamphetamine intervention for gay and bisexual men, "Getting Off," is being translated into a mobile phone application (i.e., app) available for download through common app marketplaces. The application will provide games, guided lessons, informational support, and resources to gay and bisexual men seeking to reduce their methamphetamine use and risky sexual behaviors.
