Active clinical trials for "Immunologic Deficiency Syndromes"

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of darunavir/ritonavir 800/100 mg once a day (O.D.) as a monotherapy versus a triple combination therapy containing 2 nucleosides and darunavir/ritonavir in 250 HIV-1 infected patients who have been on Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) and have plasma viral load below 50 copies/ml for at least 24 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to determine any adverse effects of PRO 542 after administration and to determine the anti-HIV effects of PRO 542 in the patient.

The primary objective of the study is to determine if Serostim® 4 mg administered daily for 12 weeks as treatment for the abnormal fat accumulation and distribution associated with HIV-associated Adipose Redistribution Syndrome (HARS) reduces Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT, measured by CT scan) more effectively than placebo.

Treatment for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a medical emergency. A stem cell transplant (immature blood cells that can make other blood cells) from a (MSD) matched sibling donor (brother or sister who is a "match" for your child's immune (HLA) type), usually results in complete correction of immune function. However, most patients lack a matched sibling donor, requiring the use of an alternate donor source. Transplantation of cells from haploidentical family donors (typically parents) has resulted in immune system correction in the majority of SCID individuals. However, only 65-80% of patients survive greater than one year after this procedure. Failure results from life-threatening infections, graft versus host disease (GvHD) or post-transplant treatment-related effects. Also, for patients that survive beyond one year, B-cell (type of blood cell that fights infection) and natural killer cell function (cell that attacks infections and cancer cells) frequently fail to work, resulting in the need for long-term treatment with intravenous gamma-globulin (IVIg). In this study, in an effort to restore the overall cell function in patients with SCID, researchers will use a highly purified CD133+ hematopoietic cell graft (stem cell transplant without many mature donor white cells, called T-cells) obtained via use of the Miltenyi CliniMACS device, a device not FDA approved.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Omacor 4g/day on blood lipid parameters and on the function and stiffness of blood vessels in HIV infected patients on Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART)

To Investigate the safety and immunologic activity of AGS-004, an autologous HIV Immunotherapeutic, in HIV-infected adults currently on stable antiretroviral therapy (ART) with durable viral suppression.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of etravirine, administered as part of an individually optimized antiretroviral therapy (ART), in human immunodeficiency virus Type 1 (HIV-1) infected participants.

To evaluate the safety and tolerance of atovaquone (566C80) in AIDS patients with central nervous system (CNS) toxoplasmosis. To evaluate the efficacy of 566C80 in the acute treatment and suppression of CNS toxoplasmosis in AIDS patients who fail or who cannot tolerate conventional therapy.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of l-leucovorin in preventing toxicity from high dose trimethoprim / sulfamethoxazole (TMP / SMX) used as a therapy for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in patients with AIDS.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the relapse rate in patients with AIDS-related diarrhea who were found to be "Responders" in a previous placebo-controlled, double-blind study of Sandostatin (Study #D203 - FDA 102A). The secondary objectives include: 1) To evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of open-label Sandostatin in patients who were "Non-Responders" in Study #D203 - FDA 102A; 2) To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sandostatin during prolonged open-label treatment in "Responders" from Study #D03 - FDA 102A.
