Active clinical trials for "HIV Infections"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the maternal and infant safety of the dapivirine (DPV) vaginal ring (VR) and daily oral Truvada in HIV-uninfected pregnant women and their infants.

This a phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of BG505 SOSIP.664 gp140 Vaccine, Adjuvanted, in up to 60 healthy adult HIV-uninfected volunteers.

The purpose of this study is: To develop a new mobile health (mHealth) system that will send text messages to remind both pregnant and non-pregnant women with HIV to adhere to their treatment plan (like keeping appointments, fillings prescriptions, and taking their medication) and address individual barriers to HIV care (like stigma, medical mistrust and resilience). Investigators also want to see if the mHealth system is feasible, easily accepted and if it will impact patient health in a positive way.

Lack of quality-assured pediatric formulations of the first-line antituberculosis (anti-TB) drugs is barrier to optimized tuberculosis (TB) treatment outcome in children. In 2010 and subsequently modified in 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended increased dosages of the first-line anti-TB drugs for children, but there were no child-friendly fixed-dose combination (FDC) formulations based on the guidelines. A large proportion of children treated with the new guidelines using old formulations did not achieve the desired rifampin peak concentration (Cmax) > 8 mg/L and pyrazinamide Cmax > 35 mg/L. The TB Alliance and the WHO led the development of a new child-appropriate isoniazid/rifampin/pyrazinamide (HRZ) and isoniazid/rifampin (HR) FDC formulation in line with current WHO recommended dosing guidelines. The new formulations dissolve quickly in liquid, have palatable fruit flavors, and are expected to improved daily adherence but no studies have evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the FDC formulation in children. The study team hypothesize that the new dispersible HRZ FDC tablet, dosed according to current WHO weight-band dosing recommendations will result in better PK parameters for each drug component than that achieved by the old formulation.

Point-of-care (POC) tests for HIV are easy to use, rapid and provide accurate results while the patient is still in-front of a healthcare provider (HCP). Currently only blood-based POC tests for HIV are licensed for use in Canada. The OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2 Rapid Antibody Test is a POC test developed by OraSure Technologies, Inc. to detect HIV antibodies in oral fluid and fingerstick blood samples. As this device is very similar to the OraQuick HIV Self-Test, Health Canada requires evidence that HCPs can successfully perform the POC version of the OraQuick test in addition to performance of the self test version by intended users. This study involves a minimum of 9 HCPs and 600 Patients at clinic sites in Toronto and Ottawa (Ontario), Montreal (Quebec) and Edmonton (Alberta). It will assess the OraQuick ADVANCE® Test's simplicity and accuracy in the hands of HCPs who have never used this Test. To assess performance, using only the test kit instructions for use, HCPs will collect and test oral fluid and fingerstick blood samples from patients with the OraQuick ADVANCE® Test and will then read and interpret those results. Results of the OraQuick ADVANCE® Test will be compared with results of a venous blood sample collected from each patient and tested with a usual, licensed, laboratory test method. To assess usability, HCPs will interpret various mock device test results and respond to a questionnaire to determine if the test instructions for use are clear and simple, that they are aware of test requirements and limitations and provide opinions on the ease of use of the test. A final report of study results will be provided to the Test manufacturer for inclusion in the Health Canada license application process.

Systematic, continuative collection of clinical and laboratory data on patients followed at lnfectious Diseases Unit of the IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, receiving long-acting ART (Phase IV, single-center, prospective, cohort study) PRIMARY ENDOPOINT: Treatment failure over 48 weeks, defined as virological failure (VF) or therapy discontinuation for any reason (TD) SECONDARY ENDPOINTS: Clinical and pharmacological determinants of efficacy, tolerability, toxicity Modifications in risk and incidence of comorbidities Description of drug-resistance in case of VR Efficacy of rescue regimens in case of VF Quality of life and patient's satisfaction

to describe the change in the number of HIV diagnosis before and after the integration of the indicator conditions and diseases to hospital automation system

This is a Phase 2, multi-center study, designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of UB-421 in conjunction with a failing existing ART regimen for 1 week and optimized background therapy (OBT) for 24 weeks, respectively.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the injectable drug cabotegravir (CAB LA), for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in HIV-uninfected cisgender men and transgender women who have sex with men (MSM and TGW).

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of Our Family Our Future, an integrated intervention for preventing HIV and depression onset among adolescents.
