Active clinical trials for "HIV Infections"

The purpose of this study is to determine the dosage for oral and IM Cabotegravir LA and IM Rilpiverine LA and evaluate the safety, acceptability, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of oral and long-acting injectable cabotegravir and long-acting injectable rilpivirine in virologically suppressed HIV-infected children and adolescents.

Phase I, Proof of Concept, Open-Label, Randomized Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Effects of Using Prime-boost HIVIS DNA and MVA-CMDR Vaccine Regimens with or without Toll-like Receptor 4 Agonist on HIV Reservoirs in Perinatally HIV Infected Children and Youth

This project will compare the effectiveness of an HIV-specific comprehensive wellness intervention designed to have broad appeal to smokers living with HIV to the effectiveness of standard care services that include referral to the National VA Quitline and SmokefreeVET texting program. Participants in both arms will have access to pharmacotherapy available through their Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare providers.

A multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, double-blind, Phase 1/2a clinical study to investigate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and exploratory efficacy of a vaccine regimen consisting of an Ad26.Mos4.HIV prime and a boost with Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-BN-HIV in combination with broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAb) PGT121, PGDM1400, and VRC07-523LS in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected study participants on suppressive anti-retroviral therapy (ART).

The investigators will implement a 24-month fractional factorial design study (Aim 1). The investigators will recruit 510 patients initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) at three City of Cape Town ART clinics. Each patient will have adherence monitored using the Wisepill® electronic adherence monitoring device (EAM). After eligibility has been confirmed, each participant will be randomized to one of 16 experimental conditions. Each condition includes a unique combination of five adherence intervention components. Three of these components focus on identifying individuals with poor adherence, with increasing degrees of sophistication, with immediate linkage to adherence support. Two components focus on supporting good adherence. They both supplement the existing adherence support program delivered at the study clinics operated by City of Cape Town (standard of care component). Based on Self-Determination Theory, the investigators postulate these intervention components will: 1) enhance feelings of autonomy support, social support, and knowledge; 2) improve motivation and self-competence; and 3) increase ART retention, adherence, and viral suppression. A subset of the participants, as well as clinic staff, will be invited to in-depth interviews to explore mediating factors (Aim 1) and the implementation process (Aim 2); and the data collected in Aims 1 and 2 will be used to explore cost effectiveness (Aim 3).

The study investigators are conducting an observational, parallel group pharmacokinetic (PK) study among women living with HIV (WLHIV) already on 1st line antiretroviral therapy (ART) and virally suppressed, 18-45 years old (inclusive), to evaluate any bidirectional drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between doravirine (DOR)-containing ART and hormonal contraceptive methods. This PK study will enroll women in five distinct groups, each with 21 participants (total of 105 participants), and follow them for approximately 18-30 weeks.

The goal of this clinical study is to test how well the study drug, lenacapavir (LEN), works in preventing the risk of HIV.

The METHOD study will examine whether adding metformin to standard antibiotic treatment for tuberculosis (TB) in people with HIV is safe and well tolerated. The study will also test if adding metformin clears the infection more quickly and with less lung damage. When enrolled, participants will have an equal chance of being in the group that takes standard TB medicines alone or in the group that also takes metformin. Participants will have a chance to be put on either: 1) standard TB medicines (isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide for two months, continuing isoniazid and rifampin for four more months) only; or 2) the same standard TB medicines plus metformin. Participants randomized to the metformin arm will take metformin for eleven weeks, starting one week after starting the standard TB medicines. In addition to monitoring for side effects, all participants will have studies of drug levels and lung and immune function.

This is a one-year study that seeks to evaluate perspectives of combined injectable treatment for HIV and OUD. Specifically, with the development of new long-acting medications such as cabotegravir co-administered with rilpivirine (CAB/RPV) and extended-release buprenorphine (XR-B) there is a need to better understand factors that influence the delivery and uptake of this type of treatment. Therefore, this study will conduct qualitative (1:1) interviews with 32-45 key stakeholders to assess interest, knowledge, attitudes, barriers, and facilitators to integrated injectable treatment. Our team will utilize qualitative findings to inform clinical strategies to promote uptake and maintenance of long-acting injectable medications for HIV and OUD.

This study will assess the relative bioavailability of the CAB DT formulation relative to that of the CAB IR formulation and to assess the effect of food on the CAB DT formulation.
