Active clinical trials for "HIV Infections"

To estimate the differences in parameters of antiviral activity and safety between a control regimen of indinavir in combination with DMP 266 and an experimental regimen of higher-dose indinavir in combination with lower-dose DMP 266 after sixteen weeks of dosing, in protease inhibitor- and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-naive, HIV-1 seropositive patients. It is hypothesized that after 16 weeks of randomized treatment with either the control or experimental regimen that: The observed proportion of patients with serum viral RNA < 400 copies/ml in the experimental and control regimen will be similar and will continue to be so after 48 weeks. The safety profiles of the two groups will be similar, judged by the incidence of serious, drug-related adverse experiences and the incidence of events of specific interest (e.g., nephrolithiasis, hyperbilirubinemia, nausea/vomiting, rash, and CNS-related symptoms) and will continue to be so after 48 weeks. The two groups will be similar with respect to changes from baseline in serum viral RNA and CD4 counts and will continue to be so after 48 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give combinations of three or four anti-HIV drugs to HIV-infected patients. The drugs used in this study are delavirdine (DLV), nelfinavir (NLF), didanosine (ddI), and stavudine (d4T).

Didanosine is an effective anti-HIV drug, but it can cause stomach upset. This study tests a new form of didanosine, ddI EC, a coated pill that passes through the stomach more easily and hopefully will prevent stomach upset. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of ddI EC versus the standard form of ddI. Both forms of ddI will be given with stavudine (d4T) plus nelfinavir (NLF).

The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give efavirenz plus stavudine plus didanosine to HIV-infected patients who have never received anti-HIV treatment.

To determine the virologic benefits associated with the addition of hydroxyurea (HU) to combination drug therapy with didanosine (ddI), stavudine (d4T), and efavirenz (DMP) in HIV-infected patients. To assess the safety and tolerance of this regimen, with or without HU.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of interferon beta (Betaseron) in AIDS and advanced AIDS related complex (ARC) patients receiving a reduced-dose zidovudine (AZT) regimen.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of a new non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), (+)-calanolide A, in HIV-positive patients who have never received anti-HIV treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a 3-drug anti-HIV regimen, amprenavir (APV) plus abacavir (ABC) plus lamivudine (3TC), on the way carbohydrates (sugars) and fats are metabolized (processed by the body) in HIV-infected patients who have received little or no previous anti-HIV drug therapy.

To evaluate the safety, tolerance, and biological activity of filgrastim (recombinant granulocyte colony stimulating factor; G-CSF) given by daily subcutaneous injection prior to and concomitantly with erythropoietin (EPO) and zidovudine (AZT) in patients with AIDS or severe ARC. To evaluate the safety, tolerance, and biological activity of recombinant EPO given three times weekly by subcutaneous injection concomitantly with G-CSF and prior to and concomitantly with AZT in patients with AIDS or severe ARC. To study the safety and tolerance of three dose levels of AZT given concomitantly with G-CSF and EPO in patients with AIDS or severe ARC. To study the effects of G-CSF on neutrophil function and number in patients with AIDS or severe ARC. To study the effect of G-CSF alone and in combination with EPO on HIV replication in vivo as measured by circulating HIV p24 antigen, plasma HIV viremia, and semiquantitative HIV cocultures.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intermittent intravenous (IV) foscarnet in the treatment of acyclovir-resistant herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections in AIDS patients and other immunocompromised patients. To evaluate the necessity, efficacy, and safety of IV maintenance foscarnet therapy in preventing recurrent disease. To confirm the pharmacokinetics of intermittent induction and maintenance IV regimens.
