Active clinical trials for "HIV Infections"

This study is a multicentre, randomized, placebo-controlled, fully blinded, clinical trial of twice daily oral valacyclovir 500mg versus placebo with the goal of delaying the need for initiating HAART among HIV infected individuals who neither use nor require HAART, and who have not used chronic suppressive anti-HSV therapy for at least the 6 months prior to study initiation.

The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics (how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes and eliminates a drug) (PK) of ETR when given with ATV/rtv and 1 NRTI in treatment experienced HIV-1 infected patients. In addition, safety, tolerability and anti-HIV effect of this regimen will also be studied. A total of 46 patients will be enrolled.

The purpose of this randomized, double-blinded study is to test the safety of GSK1265744 and how well it works on reducing the amount of HIV in the blood. It will also look at how people react to and how a human body uses GSK1265744. This study will compare the effects of GSK1265744 and placebo. The study will consist of 1 or 2 parts to look at doses of GSK1265744. About 8 people will take part in Part 1 of the study receiving dose A. If additional dosing information is needed after Part 1, about 6 people will take part in Part 2 of the study receiving dose B.

This is a single-center, randomized, two part, open-label, crossover study in healthy adult subjects to assess the effect of up to three formulations on the relative bioavailability of GSK2248761 100mg administered with and without food. Part A will evaluate two new formulations compared to the current formulation. Part B will evaluate one additional formulation if the bioavailability of the two formulations in Part A do not meet pre-specified criteria. Safety evaluations and serial PK samples will be collected during each treatment period. A follow-up visit will occur 7-10 days after the last dose of study drug.

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and emtricitabine (FTC) are two antiretroviral medications used for the treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS. This study will examine how these medications are processed in the body of people who are HIV-infected, as well as in people who are HIV-uninfected.

For more than 20 years, alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor therapy has been the standard treatment for patients who have inherited alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor deficiency. Adult patients with this condition eventually develop emphysema. Most HIV-1 patients who have low viral load also have alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor deficiency. The number of CD4 cells in blood increases when alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor increases. Patients will be asked to participate in a pilot study to see whether the use of Zemaira® (alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor) can increase blood levels of alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor and consequently increase CD4 counts.

Integrase is 1 of 3 HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)-1 enzymes required for viral replication. Raltegravir is a drug that prevents integrase from working properly. This drug has been tested for safety and efficacy in adults, but this is the first study to examine raltegravir in children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate dose for raltegravir across the pediatric age range from 4 weeks to 18 years of age, by acquiring short and long term safety data, intensive and population pharmacokinetic (PK) data, and efficacy experience with raltegravir in HIV-infected children and adolescents.

To assess the efficacy of enfuvirtide (Fuzeon) added to HAART compared to treatment with HAART alone in achieving and maintaining viral load suppression.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate antiretroviral activity of up to five different oral doses administered for two weeks of bevirimat versus placebo in HIV treatment experienced patients, who have documented genotypic resistance to at least one major mutation from the IAS-USA list (2007)of resistance mutations for NRTIs, NNRTIs, or PIs. Patients will also be monitored for side effects, and the pharmacokinetics of bevirimat will be determined.

The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of ritonavir (RTV)-boosted atazanavir with nevirapine, each on a background of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (DF).
