Active clinical trials for "HIV Infections"

The eradication of HIV by antiretroviral therapy has thus far been elusive. It has been consistently demonstrated that a pool of latently infected, resting CD4+ T cells persists in the majority of HIV-infected individuals receiving antiretroviral therapy in whom plasma viremia has been successfully suppressed for prolonged periods of time; this pool has emerged as the major obstacle in achieving the eradication of HIV. We believe that MK-0518 can further the decay and suppression of HIV-1 in patients who have been virologically suppressed for a prolonged period of time on effective cART (≥ 4 years).

The researchers are involved in a phase II, randomized, two-arm study, comparing the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of open-label ritonavir (RTV)-enhanced darunavir with Truvada to a 5-drug multi-class regimen including truvada, darunavir/ritonavir/maraviroc/and raltegravir on acutely HIV-1-infected, antiretroviral (ARV) drug-naïve men and women. Subjects will participate for at least 60 weeks and up to 96 weeks if in the opinion of the investigator and patient that continued therapy is in the patient's best interest. Hypotheses: Multi-class antiretroviral therapy (ART) is superior to RTV-enhanced ATV in combination with Emtricitabine/Tenofovir DF (FTC/TDF) with respect to suppression of viral replication. Multi-class ART is superior to RTV-enhanced ATV in combination with FTC/TDF with respect to immune reconstitution in peripheral blood and in the gastrointestinal mucosa. Multi-class ART is equivalent to RTV-enhanced ATV in combination with FTC/TDF with respect to tolerability.

The purpose of this study is to: Provide raltegravir to subjects with HIV and an undetectable viral load who are experiencing injection site reactions (ISR) to Enfuvirtide, Monitor the safety and efficacy of raltegravir, and Assess the change in quality of life in patients who have switched from Enfuvirtide to raltegravir

The purpose of this 28 day study is to assess the viral kinetics and safety of elvucitabine.

To provide access to maraviroc to patients who have limited or no therapeutic treatment options and to collect more safety data in a broader patient population.

The current goal of antiretroviral therapy is to use a potent regimen that will suppress plasma viral load and maintain this suppression as long as possible. However, for most patients treated with such potent regimen, several problems can limit their long term effectiveness and contribute to incomplete viral suppression. These problems include poor tolerability, metabolic toxic effects. In order to avoid common problems as toxicity it might be interested to simplify treatment with fewer toxicity, lower pill burden. In this study we will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a simplification treatment with TRIZIVIR in long term after a Boosted PI or NNRTI containing regimen as first line therapy.

The purpose of this study is to look at the safety and efficacy of a combination of 3 new antiretroviral drugs: darunavir, etravirine and MK-0518 (raltegravir) in patients who have multi-resistant viruses and limited treatment options. An optimized background regimen that may include nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and enfuvirtide can be added, if possible, to this combination. Patients will undergo treatment for 48 weeks and virological efficacy will be evaluated at week 24.

This study aims to compare the steady state pharmacokinetics of stavudine, lamivudine, and nevirapine in HIV positive Ugandan patients taking Triomune 40 with the pharmacokinetics of the originator products known as Viramune, Epivir and Zerit 40.

To collect safety and tolerability data in a more diverse patient population of patients with HIV/Aids, who have limited therapeutic options.

In HIV-NAT 013 phase I study, genotyping was performed in 95 children on dual NRTI which showed that almost all children had resistance to NRTi. The HIV-NAT 013 phase II is a follow up study to evaluate treatment outcome after salvage therapy and the evolution of mutations.
