Active clinical trials for "HIV Infections"

To determine the safety and efficacy of r-HuEPO administration to patients with AIDS or advanced AIDS related complex (ARC) and anemia secondary to their disease.

To determine the safety and tolerance of subcutaneous injections of natural interferon alpha (IFN) in asymptomatic HIV-positive persons and record its effects on the HIV virus in these individuals.

PRIMARY: To determine whether pentoxifylline changes the self-reported measures of quality of life status, using measures of scores from double-blinded drug withdrawal and drug restart periods. SECONDARY: To measure the changes in monthly CD4 counts, fasting serum triglyceride levels, and weight; to assess the safety of pentoxifylline in HIV-infected persons.

To evaluate the safety of escalating doses of RMP-7 administered in persons with HIV infection and cryptococcal meningitis and to determine the MTD of the drug. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) penetration, of amphotericin B when administered with RMP-7.

To evaluate the safety and tolerance of topical cidofovir (HPMPC) therapy for condyloma acuminatum in patients with HIV infection. To investigate whether topical HPMPC therapy can induce regression of condyloma acuminatum in patients with HIV infection.

To demonstrate a dosage regimen for intravenous itraconazole that produces a plasma concentration range comparable to that obtained after currently used oral dosages of itraconazole oral solution; and to obtain preliminary safety data in patients with advanced HIV disease.

To compare the magnitude and durability of the reduction in plasma HIV RNA in the two treatment groups over the first 12 weeks of treatment. To determine the safety of each of the two treatment groups.

To evaluate the safety and tolerance of adefovir dipivoxil and indinavir administered orally in combination with zidovudine, lamivudine, or stavudine in HIV-infected patients with CD4 cell counts >= 100 cells/mm3 and an HIV-1 RNA baseline copy number >= 5000 copies/ml. To determine the proportion of patients whose plasma HIV-1 RNA level falls below the level of detection (500 copies/ml) by 20 weeks of study therapy and the average reduction in HIV-1 RNA from baseline through study week 20. To evaluate the durability of the antiviral response through 48 weeks of study in patients who continue on study therapy after week 24.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of anti-HIV drug courses of different lengths in infants who became HIV infected at birth.

The purpose of this study is to see how the vaccines Remune (HIV-1 immunogen) and vCP1452 affect immune responses in patients who also are taking anti-HIV medications. This study also will see if these vaccines are safe to use either alone or in combination. Treatment with anti-HIV drugs does not always keep HIV viral load low and under control. This study will look at the effect of the HIV vaccine, vCP1452, on the immune response and how it works in combination with Remune. Information about immune responses and the safety of these vaccines in HIV-positive patients will be gathered.
