Active clinical trials for "HIV Infections"

Historically, the database on the HIV was organized within the framework of the medico-economic file of the human immunodeficiency (DMI-2), introduced jointly by the Direction of Hospitals (Mission AIDS) and the INSERM at the end of the 80s. Today this database is fed via the computerized medical record NADIS. Most part of the research works on the theme of the HIV take support on this database (DAD, EuroAIDS, Neuradapt).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of HIV-1 BG505 SOSIP.664 gp140 with TLR agonist and/or alum adjuvants in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, feasibility, acceptability, and safety of a fixed-dose combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) as oral daily pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV during pregnancy and postpartum in adolescents and young women and their infants.

This study evaluates the use of a social-network approach to encourage African-American men who have sex with men (AAMSM) to adopt pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV infection. Thirty-six networks of AAMSM will be recruited in Milwaukee, WI, and Cleveland, OH. Half of these networks will have their leaders trained to endorse PrEP to their social network members, and the other half will be given brief HIV prevention counseling.

The goal of this research study is to test an intervention to help quit tobacco use in participants with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The study interventions used in this research study are: Positively Smoke Free - Mobile (PSF-M) (mobile behavioral program) Varenicline (or Chantix, apovarenicline, Champix or Nocrav)

Investigation of the size, variability and localization of the (pro) viral reservoir and the properties of HIV-specific immune response related to "post-treatment viral remission' achievement and / or duration. In addition we will study the factors that determine latency in the different host cells, their sensitivity to induction of replication competent virus by various agents and the potential application of these agents in "post-treatment viral remission". This all will be studied in patients included during acute phase of the infection who start antiretroviral therapy immediately upon diagnosis.

Strategies for optimizing antiretroviral treatment in virologically suppressed patients are still a major challenge in the field of HIV. These strategies include improving the toxicity and tolerability of drugs in the short and long term, such as replacing toxic agents with safer ones or reducing the number of drugs in the combination. Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is a novel prodrug of tenofovir (TFV) that is converted intracellularly to the active form, resulting in higher concentrations of TFV diphosphate in circulating lymphocytes than those obtained with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). Because of these pharmacokinetic properties, TAF results in 91% lower plasma exposure to TFV. Phase 3 studies have established the virological noninferiority of TAF to TDF, with a lower frequency of renal and bone adverse events. Replacing TDF with TAF may be a safe and effective option to reduce toxicities when switching from one ARV strategy to another and, to date, could represent the optimization of a three-drug regimen. Dolutegravir (DTG) is a potent INSTI that exhibits rapid and potent viral load reduction and a high barrier to resistance.

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains a health burden in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Interferon (IFN)-based therapy is the treatment of choice for HCV infection for HIV coinfected patients in earlier years. However, the treatment responses are far from ideal and the treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) are frequently encountered. Based on the excellent efficacy and safety, IFN-free direct acting antivirals (DAAs) have been the mainstay of therapy for HCV. Furthermore, the world health organization (WHO) has set the goal of global HCV elimination by 2030. The microelimination of HCV among HIV/HCV-coinfected patients is also listed as the prioritized target by WHO. Although the overall treatment response has improved dramatically during the past 5-10 years, several studies have indicated the HIV/HCV-coinfected patients had high risks of reinfection following successful antiviral treatment. The risk of HCV reinfection was reported to be 24.6% among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) in Austria, German, France and the United Kingdom who attained sustained virologic response (SVR) by IFN-based therapy. Two recent studies from Canada showed that the incidence of HCV reinfection in HIV-positive patients was higher that HIV-negative patients (3.44 vs. 1.13 per 100 person-year; 2.56 vs. 1.12 per 100 person-year). In Taiwan, 14.1% of the HIV-positive patients had HCV reinfection following treatment-induced or spontaneous viral clearance, resulting an incidence of 8.2 per 100 person-year with a total of 218.3 person-years of follow-up for these patients. Because data regarding to the HCV reinfection in HIV-positive patients are still limited, where a more comprehensive assessment of HCV reinfection is important based on the perspectives of HCV microelimination among HIV-positive patients in Taiwan, the investigators thus aim to conduct a long-term, large-scale cohort study to assess the risk of HCV reinfection in HIV-positive patients achieving SVR after IFN-based or IFN-free therapies, and to assess the factors associated with different risks of reinfection in these patients.

The goal of this research is to determine whether a Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention including a mobile telehealth (M-Health) component can help achieve long term viral suppression among Black people with poorly controlled HIV.

Assess the effects of Sulforaphane supplementation in HIV patients that have achieved viral suppression.
