Active clinical trials for "HIV Infections"

The study will test the feasibility and acceptability of using text messages and behavioral economics-based incentives to support anchoring Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) adherence to an existing routine in order to improve long-term ART medication adherence. The intervention phase of the three-phased study will constitute the pilot RCT. A sample of 150 clients who have initiated ART in the preceding three months will be randomized to either usual care (C = 50) or one of the two INMIND intervention groups (daily text message reminders with or without incentives) for three months (T1 = 50; T2=50). Subsequently, behavioral persistence will be evaluated for six months post-intervention. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, month 3, and month 9. The primary outcomes are 1) electronically measured mean medication adherence during the intervention and 2) six months post intervention, along with 3) timeliness of medication adherence during the intervention and 4) six months post-intervention.

Dolutegravir (DTG) is an HIV drug in the integrase inhibitor drug class. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability of and immune response to DTG when used concurrently with optimized background therapy (OBT) in HIV-1 infected infants, children, and adolescents.

This Antiretroviral Therapy as Long Acting Suppression every 2 Months (ATLAS-2M) study is designed to demonstrate the non-inferior antiviral activity and safety of CAB LA + RPV LA administered every 8 weeks (Q8W) compared to CAB LA + RPV LA administered every 4 weeks (Q4W) over a 48-week treatment period in approximately 1020 adult HIV-1 infected subjects. Subjects will be divided in 2 groups; Group 1 will include subjects receiving current anti-retroviral (ART) standard of care (SOC) therapy whereas group 2 will include subjects currently receiving CAB LA + RPV LA Q4W in ATLAS study. Subjects in both groups will be randomized to receive CAB LA + RPV LA Q4W or Q8W. The study will be carried out in 3 phases including screening phase, maintenance phase and extension phase. Subjects choosing not to enter the Extension phase can complete their study participation at the Week 100 visit and enter into the 52-week Long-Term Follow-Up (LTFU) Phase as required. A sub-study in the ATLAS-2M study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics, tolerability and efficacy of CAB and RPV long acting injections following intramuscular administration in the Vastus Lateralis Muscle (thigh) in HIV-infected Adult Participants who have received at least three years of Gluteal Injections in this ATLAS-2M Study.

A commonly used manualized outpatient methamphetamine intervention for gay and bisexual men, "Getting Off," is being translated into a mobile phone application (i.e., app) available for download through common app marketplaces. The application will provide games, guided lessons, informational support, and resources to gay and bisexual men seeking to reduce their methamphetamine use and risky sexual behaviors.

Despite the need for consistent adherence to medical care, youth living with HIV have low rates of adherence to medications and treatment. There are few interventions to improve adherence to HIV medications and treatment for youth, and there is a great need for novel approaches that are engaging for this age group. The investigators developed an intervention that includes a mobile gaming app that is integrated with a 7-day electronic medication device and text messages. During gameplay, youth fight HIV in colorful organ systems. A small previous project found that the intervention helped youth who were newly starting medications for HIV by improving adherence and decreasing HIV virus in their bodies (viral load). This proposed project will test the intervention with larger number of youth (100) who are newly starting HIV treatment and medications in New England, Georgia, and in Mississippi. The investigators want to determine if adherence is improved and viral load is reduced in this larger sample.

An acceptance and feasibility study for immediate ART initiation and storage of laboratory specimens for individuals with suspected acute HIV infection who are diagnosed in one of the 7 participating emergency rooms

This research is being done to assess the efficacy of a case management intervention to improve the one year mortality rate of hospitalized, HIV-infected, Tanzanian adults.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity of long-acting cabotegravir (CAB LA) plus the broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibody,VRC-HIVMAB075-00-AB (VRC07-523LS), in adults living with HIV-1 with suppressed plasma viremia.

This study is to evaluate antiviral activity, efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GSK3810109A in HIV-1 infected treatment naive adults. Participants will receive a single dose of GSK3810109A administered either intravenously (IV) or subcutaneously (SC). The study includes a screening phase, a randomized monotherapy phase and a standard of care follow-up phase.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a switch to MK-8591A (a fixed dose combination of doravirine and islatravir) in human immunodeficiency virus -1 (HIV-1)-infected participants virologically suppressed on a regimen of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF). The primary hypothesis is that a switch to MK-8591A will be non-inferior to continued treatment with BIC/FTC/TAF as assessed by the proportion of participants with HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) ≥50 copies/mL at Week 48. Participants who benefit from their assigned intervention (as determined by investigator) will be able to continue treatment through a 24-week study extension.
