Active clinical trials for "HIV Infections"

The purpose of the study is to develop and evaluate an intervention to promote adherence to HIV medications among children 5-12 years of age. It compares changes in antiretroviral (ARV) adherence between the EIG (enhanced intervention group) and an MIG (minimal intervention group) from baseline to 4 months post-intervention. Secondary outcomes include examining whether improvement in adherence to a medication regimen is associated with improved health outcomes (i.e., viral load, CD4 counts, etc.); identifying and evaluating predictors and/or mediators of adherence; studying the feasibility of electronic recording in measuring adherence in an HIV-infected pediatric population; and evaluating the relationship between the amount of intervention received (i.e., number of hours/number of sessions) and changes in adherence.

To evaluate the mechanism whereby thymopentin appears to retard the progressive immune suppression attributable to HIV infection.

The purpose of this study is to compare 2 combination drug therapies in HIV-infected patients who have never received anti-HIV treatment.

To allow, on a compassionate use basis, zalcitabine (ddC) for pediatric patients with symptomatic HIV disease who have failed treatment or who are intolerant to zidovudine (AZT), or who have completed other ddC protocols, or who are ineligible for ongoing clinical trials.

To provide product through an expanded access program to HIV-infected patients with CD4 counts less than 300 cells/ml.

To determine if Thalidomide modulates the production of HIV-suppressor factors (MIP-1 alpha, MIP-1 beta, Rantes) and TH1 type cytokines (IL-12 and INF-gamma) in HIV-infected patients and alters viral load.

The purpose of this study is to see how the body processes 1592U89 and ethanol (pure grain alcohol) when they are given together.

To determine the MTD and dose-limiting toxicities of recombinant interleukin-2 (aldesleukin; Proleukin) administered subcutaneously in HIV-seropositive patients. To identify a tolerable subcutaneous regimen that will replicate the immunologic improvement demonstrated in the outpatient polyethylene glycolated IL-2 and high-dose continuous infusion IL-2 studies. To evaluate the incidence and level of anti-IL-2 antibody formation to subcutaneously administered Proleukin in this patient population.

This study evaluated two doses of tenofovir alafenamide versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF).

The purpose of this study is to see: (1) how the amount of HIV in the lungs compares to that in the blood; (2) if HAART reduces the amount of HIV in the lungs; and (3) if HAART reduces lung inflammation in HIV-infected patients. Lung-cell inflammation in HIV-infected patients is probably caused by HIV infection of these cells. The amount of inflammation may correspond to the amount of HIV (viral load) in the lungs (i.e., mild inflammation indicates a low amount of HIV; severe inflammation indicates a high amount of HIV). HAART is used to decrease the amount of HIV in the body. If HAART is able to decrease viral load in the lungs, it should also be able to decrease lung-cell inflammation in these patients.
