Active clinical trials for "Immunologic Deficiency Syndromes"

The positive patients to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) with Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) present multiple alterations in their corporal composition and dyslipidemia, wich increase the cardiovascular risk. The investigators evaluated the efficiency of the combination of fish oil omega 3 fatty acids to different doses with the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet of the National Cholesterol Education Program on the profile of lipids and the corporal weight in patients with HIV treated with HAART.

New and recently EMA/FDA approved direct acting antiviral (DAA) combination therapies cure 95% or more of the patients chronically infected with HCV genotype 1 and 4. Grazoprevir (MK-5172) and elbasvir (MK-8742) combination therapy is such a, albeit not yet EMA/FDA approved combination DAA therapy. It is likely that the synergistic effect of the host's immune response and antiviral therapy when given during the first 6 months of HCV infection makes antiviral therapy during acute HCV infection more effective. In this study the investigators would like to document that treatment of acute HCV with grazoprevir (MK-5172), elbasvir (MK-8742) is effective and can ben shortened from 12 to 8 weeks for HCV genotype 1 and 4 infection without substantial loss in efficacy. Study design and intervention: Prospective open label interventional clinical trial in which 80 acute HCV genotype 1 or 4 patients co-infected with HIV will receive 8 weeks of grazoprevir and elbasvir (a once-daily combination tablet). Study population: 80 Adult HIV positive patients with an acute HCV genotype 1 or 4 infection from 10 HIV treatment centers in the Netherlands and Belgium will be included. Primary endpoint: Sustained viral response (SVR) 12 weeks after the end of therapy in ITT study population (=genotype 1 and 4).

Approximately 60 subjects will be enrolled in order to have approximately 20 adult subjects and 20 pediatric subjects treated with subcutaneously administered Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human), 20% Caprylate/Chromatography Purified (IGSC 20%) who complete the entire study. This study will include 3 study stages: Screening/Previous Regimen Phase, IGSC 20% Treatment Stage 1 (13 IGSC 20% weekly doses), and IGSC 20% Treatment Stage 2 (39 IGSC 20% weekly doses). A total of 52 doses of IGSC 20% will be administered with a final follow-up visit 1 week after the last dose at Week 53. Subjects/caregivers will be trained on self-administration of IGSC 20% by the clinical site personnel.

This Phase III clinical study is to test efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of BT595 in treating patients with Primary Immunodeficiency (PID)

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of four doses of BMS-663068 with Raltegravir (RAL) + Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF). At least 1 dose of BMS-663068 can be identified which is safe, well tolerated, and efficacious when combined with RAL + TDF for treatment-experienced HIV-1 infected subjects.

The purpose of this study is to determine the lopinavir levels in blood of HIV and TB infected children (3-15kg) when given lopinavir/ritonavir in a 1:1 ratio with rifampicin containing TB regimen and its safety.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority in efficacy of a darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (D/C/F/TAF) fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet versus Darunavir/Cobicistat (DRV/COBI) FDC coadministered with Emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) FDC in human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infected, antiretroviral (ARV) treatment naive adult participants.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (Genvoya®; E/C/F/TAF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) versus elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Stribild®; E/C/F/TDF) FDC in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-naive adults.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving cisplatin together with radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for cervical cancer. PURPOSE: This trial studies how well cisplatin and radiation therapy work in treating participants with HIV-associated locally advanced cervical cancer.

Liver disease is one of the leading co-morbidities of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is present in approximately 30-40% of patients with HIV infection. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a more severe form of NAFLD in which increased liver fat is also accompanied by inflammation, cellular damage, and fibrosis. NAFLD is most prevalent in patients who also have increased visceral adiposity, and our group has previously shown that HIV-infected individuals with increased visceral adiposity generally have decreased growth hormone secretion. Tesamorelin is a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analogue that increases endogenous growth hormone secretion. Tesamorelin is FDA-approved for the reduction of visceral fat in HIV-infected individuals. In a previous study, treatment with tesamorelin in HIV-infected individuals selected for abdominal adiposity reduced liver fat. The current study is designed to test the effect of tesamorelin on liver fat and steatohepatitis in HIV-infected individuals who have NAFLD. The investigators hypothesize that tesamorelin will reduce liver fat and will also ameliorate the inflammation, fibrosis, and hepatocellular damage seen in conjunction with NASH.
