A Two-part Study to Compare a Tablet and Capsule Formulation of GSK2838232 With and Without Food,...
InfectionHuman Immunodeficiency Virus1 moreThis study will be conducted in two Parts to confirm the acceptability/selection of a tablet formulation for future clinical development of GSK2838232. Part 1 of the study will assess single ritonavir (RTV)-boosted doses of a new tablet formulation given with food (containing approximately 30% fat) against the reference capsule formulation also given with food and then will assess the impact of fasted conditions on the tablet performance. In Part 2, non-boosted GSK2838232 will be given as once-daily tablet doses for 11 days in a separate group of subjects, assuming the tablet performance is considered acceptable from Part 1. Approximately 16 healthy subjects will be enrolled to provide at least 12 evaluable subjects through the three study periods in Part 1. 10 healthy subjects will be enrolled to provide at least 8 evaluable subjects through the single study period in Part 2. The maximum duration of study participation will be approximately 9 to 10 weeks for Part 1; and 8 to 9 weeks for Part 2.

Effects of Maraviroc vs. Efavirenz on CD4/CD8 Ratio
HIV/AIDSA low CD4/CD8 ratio is considered a surrogate marker of immunosenescence and is an independent predictor of non-AIDS-related morbidity and mortality. Given the strong clinical implications the impact of different regimens on the CD4/CD8 ratio recovery needs to be analyzed. The MERIT study is a completed a randomized, double-blind, multicenter phase IIb/III study with an open-label extension phase (240-week follow-up) to assess the efficacy of zidovudine/lamivudine in combination with maraviroc (MVC) or efavirenz (EFV) in treatment-naïve patients. Anonymised patient level data of the MERIT trial to compare the trajectories of the CD4/CD8 ratio of participants treated with maraviroc vs. efavirenz will be used.

GSK3640254 First Time in Human (FTIH) Study in Healthy Volunteers
InfectionHuman Immunodeficiency Virus1 moreHuman immuno deficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) infections continues to be a serious health threat throughout the world and development of medicines with new mechanism of action have an important role to play. GSK3640254 is a maturation inhibitor (MI) and can be effective in HIV-1 treatment. This randomized, 2-part, single and repeat increasing dose study will collect information on safety, tolerability and drug levels in the body of in healthy subjects for GSK3640254. The information collected in this study will help in further clinical development of GSK3640254, including a Phase IIA Proof of Concept (PoC) study in HIV-infected subjects. Approximately 16 healthy subjects will be randomized to receive single oral dose of GSK3640254 and placebo in Part 1 and approximately 56 healthy subjects will be randomized to receive repeat oral dose of GSK3640254 or placebo in Part 2. All doses will be given immediately after a moderate fat meal. Maximum duration of study participation will be approximately 12 weeks.

Phase 4 Study of Dolutegravir (DTG) in Russian Federation
InfectionHuman Immunodeficiency Virus1 moreDTG 50 milligram (mg) tablet was approved for marketing in Russian Federation; however, DTG is not currently available for subjects at Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Centers as it is not available for order and supply via Federal program. This study is an open-label study which will include subjects, who complete taking DTG in studies ING112276, ING113086, ING114915, ING111762, and those subjects who end participation in study 200304 in which they received either DTG or lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/RTV). DTG will be supplied at a dose of 50 mg once daily to eligible subjects until the subject stops taking DTG or transitions to commercial supply of DTG when available at AIDS Centers via the Federal program. The objective of this study is to bridge the gap between the closure of ING112276, ING113086, ING114915, ING111762 or end of subject's participation in 200304 and the actual availability of commercial DTG at AIDS Centers via Federal program for human immunodeficiency (HIV)-1-infected adult subjects in Russian Federation. The study will also investigate long-term safety of DTG for subjects continuing DTG in Russian Federation.

Adding Maraviroc to the HAART Regimen of Well Controlled HIV-infected Patients
HIV InfectionMany patients on Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) are able to achieve a sustained response with viral loads becoming undetectable and staying undetectable, but do not have an increase in their CD4 counts to levels greater than 500. Adding maraviroc to the treatment regimen of these patients may result in an increase in their CD4 counts. As the patient would be continuing their prior regimen, they will likely continue with full control of viral replication.

Dosing of Tenofovir and Efavirenz in Antiretroviral Therapy
HIV InfectionsTenofovir+lamivudine+efavirenz is still the first line regimen of combination antiretroviral therapy in developing countries. Based on our previous data, we aim to evaluate whether reduce the dose of tenofovir and efavirenz could decreasing the incidence of the side effects while not scarifying their virological efficacy.

Phase 2b, Open-label, Multicenter, Rollover Study to Assess Antiviral Activity and Safety of Long-acting...
HIV InfectionsThis study (POLAR), is designed to assess the antiviral activity and safety of CAB LA plus RPV LA, administered Q2M, in approximately 100 adult HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral therapy (ART) experienced participants. Participants will rollover from the NCT01641809 (LATTE) study, who have completed minimum duration of Week 312 and with demonstrated HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) suppression (less than [<]50 copies (c) per milliliter [mL]), while receiving a two-drug regimen consisting of once-daily oral CAB at 30 milligram (mg) plus RPV at 25 mg. The participants will be offered the option to switch to the LA, intramuscular injections of CAB LA plus RPV LA, Q2M or the oral fixed dose combination (FDC) of dolutegravir (DTG) plus RPV, for the continued maintenance of HIV-1 RNA suppression, known as the Maintenance Phase (From Day 1 to Commercial Approval). Duration of study will vary from country to country, until regimen receives regulatory approval and becomes commercially available. The study plans to enroll approximately 100 participants. Any participant who receives at least one dose of CAB LA and/or RPV LA and discontinues the CAB LA plus RPV LA regimen for any reason will enter a 52-week Long-Term Follow-Up (LTFU) phase. Those participants must remain on suppressive highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for at least 52 weeks after the last dose of CAB LA and or RPV LA.

Plan and Pledge, HIV Self-testing in South Africa
Human Immunodeficiency VirusThe Plan and Pledge pilot will incorporate behavioral economics approaches (nudges) into the pre-existing STAR self-test fixed-site distribution program, implemented by Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute (Wits RHI) at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. The objective of this pilot is to examine the use of commitment strategies to increase uptake of HIV self-testing in South Africa.

Study of Anti-HIV Cellular Therapy Based on Dendritic Cells Pulsed With Chemically Inactivated Virus...
HIV InfectionThe aim of this study was to assess tolerability and safety of three different formulations of an anti-HIV immunotherapy based on autologous dendritic cells (DCs) pulsed with HIV chemically inactivated with Aldrithiol™-2 (AT-2). Patients were chronically infected with HIV, naïve for antiretroviral drugs. A possible immunological and virological favorable impact was also assessed.
