Active clinical trials for "HIV Infections"

The purpose of this study is to determine the highest amount of peldesine that is safe. This study will also see if this amount of peldesine is effective in lowering HIV levels in the blood.

To determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of L-ofloxacin (RWJ 25213) in patients with HIV infection.

To assess the tolerance and toxicity profile of deoxy-3'-fluorothymidine (FLT) after multiple oral dosing for 16 weeks. To characterize the steady-state pharmacokinetics of FLT after multiple oral doses. To assess the effect of FLT on immunologic and virologic markers of HIV infection (CD4+ lymphocyte count, p24 antigen, viremia) in patients with AIDS or AIDS related complex (ARC) after multiple oral dosing for 16 weeks.

To determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose of SDZ ILE 964 administered by daily subcutaneous injections in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who have cytopenias (low blood cell counts). To obtain information about the biologic effects of SDZ ILE 964 administration in improving blood counts in HIV-infected patients. To obtain information about the effects of SDZ ILE-964 administration on both parameters of HIV replication and on residual immunologic function.

To evaluate ampligen at two dosage levels given twice weekly in combination with zidovudine (AZT) versus AZT alone in individuals with HIV-related immune dysfunction defined as T4 count between 100 and 300 cells/mm3.

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Retrovir (AZT) when used as prophylaxis for health care workers at risk for HIV infection from exposure to HIV-contaminated blood or blood components.

To evaluate the safety and tolerance, in patients with severe clinical manifestations of HIV infection, of zidovudine (AZT) administered daily for 48 weeks as a low dose every 4 hours or a higher dose every 12 hours.

To compare two lipid emulsions in the long-term parenteral alimentation of patients with AIDS in relation to: Clinical effectiveness. Effect on immunologic function. Effect on HIV load as measured by p24 antigen levels. Effect on relative HIV infectivity.

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the efficacy of Retrovir (AZT) in the treatment of AIDS-related dementia and various neuromuscular complications. HIV is both a lymphotropic and neurotropic virus which can affect both the central and peripheral nervous systems (CNS, PNS). There is evidence that the CNS and PNS may harbor the virus in a latent state, with the potential for continuous reinfection of other body systems. Therefore, effective therapeutic efforts against HIV infection should provide effective antiviral activity within the nervous system.

To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of Retrovir (AZT) administered orally as 1 of 3 doses in the treatment of patients with severe clinical and laboratory manifestations of HIV infection. To compare the safety and tolerance of AZT administered 2, 3, and 6 x daily to these patients.
