Active clinical trials for "HIV Infections"

This pilot study will evaluate the effects of the anti-diabetic drug Bydureon (exenatide extended-release formulation) on blood sugar levels and serum markers of inflammation in a cohort of 12 HIV-infected adults on combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) with untreated diabetes mellitus. Previous studies have shown that high levels of persistent systemic inflammation predict the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in HIV-infected persons on cART (a group at very high risk of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction). Bydureon has demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory effects in prior studies of non-HIV infected persons, which suggests that this agent may represent a unique and preferred medication for the treatment of insulin resistance in HIV-infected adults. The Investigators hypothesize that short-term (16 weeks) therapy with Bydureon will improve glucose tolerance and significantly reduce circulating plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and highly-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), two biomarkers strongly implicated in the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in diabetic, HIV-infected, cART-treated adults.

This study investigates the safety, tolerability and PKs of GSK2838232 with and without Ritonavir, and to evaluate different formulations of GSK2838232 in healthy subjects. This study will evaluate higher single and RTV boosted doses to support continued clinical development of GSK2838232 at clinically relevant doses, and subsequently in those infected with HIV in a dose ranging phase 2 study. The study is conducted in 2 parts: Part A and Part B, study Part A and Part B may be conducted in parallel. Approximately 20 healthy subjects will be enrolled into the study, 8 in Part A and 12 in Part B. Part A is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 4-period, single dose escalation design. Subjects will be randomized 3:1 to receive GSK2838232 or placebo. Subjects randomized to placebo will receive placebo in all four periods. Following completion of Period 2 PK assessments at 96hr post-dose, subjects will begin daily dosing of RTV 100mg for a total of 26 days. Part B is a randomized, open-label, unbalanced, 3-period, cross-over design; subjects will be randomized 1:1 to each sequence. The relative bioavailability of single 100mg doses of powder in a bottle (PIB) active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) of GSK2838232 versus PIB spray-dried dispersion (SDD) will be assessed. A single dose of GSK2838232 will co-administered on the 10th day of RTV dosing; RTV dosing will continue for an additional 4 days (total of 14 days). Subjects will have a screening visit within 30 days prior to first dose and a follow-up visit 7-14 days after the last dose.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the combination of BMS-955176 with atazanavir (ATV) [with or without ritonavir (RTV)] and dolutegravir (DTG) is efficacious, safe, and well-tolerated in HIV-1 infected treatment experienced adults.

To determine the effect of steady-state tipranavir 500 mg/ritonavir 200 mg (TPV/r) on intracellular concentrations of zidovudine triphosphate (ZDV-TP) and carbovir triphosphate (CBV-TP) and plasma viral load

This study will test the effect of liraglutide on cognitive function in HIV-infected overweight or obese subjects with type 2 diabetes.

It is known successful HIV therapy depends on the patients' ability to take their medicine regularly. This study is designed to find out if an intervention designed to help patients remember to take their medication is effective. The intervention consists of a wristwatch that has an alarm to remind patients when to take their medication, a pillbox and three monthly phone calls by a physician. All these experimental measures are meant to improve the ability of patients to take their medicines.

HRG2 is a Phase 2 randomized, controlled, open-label, multi-dose trial to determine the efficacy, safety, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetic profile of PEHRG214 in HIV-infected patients, treated three times weekly for up to 16 weeks. All patients are receiving optimized standard of care HAART. The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of PEHRG214 in decreasing the viral load (>=1.0 log10), as compared to a Control group. The primary hypothesis is that treatment with PEHRG214 will result in clinically meaningful and sustained viral load suppression. The total sample size is 70-74 patients from approximately 8-10 participating study centers. The first 16-20 patients are enrolled in the non-randomized "pilot arm" and 54 subsequent patients are randomized (2:1 within center) to Treatment or Control group. The total study duration is 7-12 months.

To evaluate whether the combined therapy of two nucleosides plus one nucleotide (Trizivir + TDF) manages to keep CD4 lymphocytes stable in patients with HIV infection on antiretroviral treatment that present virological failure and multiple resistance to antiretrovirals.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CCR5 antagonist GW873140 or placebo in combination with an optimized background regimen in treatment-experienced HIV-infected subjects with R5-tropic virus

The purpose of this study is to find out if the anti-HIV drugs nelfinavir (NFV), lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r), and efavirenz (EFV) change the amount of estrogen in the blood when taken along with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause. HRT can be helpful for treating bothersome symptoms of menopause. However, it is not routinely used in HIV-infected postmenopausal women because it is not known how HRT interacts with anti-HIV drugs. The information obtained from this study will help doctors make recommendations for HRT in postmenopausal HIV-infected women.
