Active clinical trials for "Immunologic Deficiency Syndromes"

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a regimen containing elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (E/C/F/TDF) versus ritonavir (RTV)-boosted atazanavir (ATV/r) plus emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-naive adult women.

This study is to characterize the effect of cobicistat-based regimens on parameters of renal function in participants with HIV infection and who have mild to moderate renal impairment, and to assess the safety and tolerability of the regimens in order to generate appropriate dosing recommendations.

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the steady-state pharmacokinetics (PK) and confirm the dose of the elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF) single-tablet regimen (STR) (Part A) and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF STR through Week 48 (Part B) in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral (ARV) treatment-naive adolescents. A total of 50 adolescent participants (12 to < 18 years of age) will be enrolled to receive EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF as follows: Part A: Twelve to 16 eligible participants will be enrolled to evaluate steady-state PK, and confirm the dose, with the intent to enroll at least 4 participants 12 to < 15 and at least 4 participants 15 to < 18 years of age. Part B: Following confirmation of EVG exposure in at least 12 participants from Part A, 34 to 38 participants in addition to those enrolled in Part A will be enrolled to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF STR.

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir (SOF; GS-7977) plus ribavirin (RBV) in adults with chronic genotypes 1, 2, and 3 HCV infection who are coinfected with HIV-1.

We hypothesise that atorvastatin changes immune activation among HAART-treated adults with suboptimal cluster cell differentiation 4 (CD4) recovery by 25%

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of portable colposcopy when compared to conventional colposcopy (25x magnification of the cervix, the gold standard) and Visualization Inspection with Acetic acid (VIA, with 1x magnification, the accepted low-resource method). Half the participants will be evaluated for cervical pathology by portable colposcopy after VIA assessment, while the other half will be evaluated by conventional colposcopy. This study also will use collected lab specimens for human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive women to determine those HPV genotypes most prevalent among higher grade disease cases (CIN II+) and among the sub-group of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive women.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus placebo, each administered with the existing, failing antiretroviral (ARV) regimen. There are 2 parts to this study: Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 consists of 2 cohorts, starting with a sentinel cohort, in which participants will be enrolled to receive open-label TAF in addition to their current failing ARV regimen. This cohort will then be followed by a randomized, double-blind, cohort to compare the addition of TAF or placebo in HIV-1 positive adults who are failing their current ARV regimen. In Part 2, all participants who complete Part 1 of the study will discontinue their failing ARV regimen and TAF or placebo for a 14-day washout period. Following the washout period, all participants who received TAF in Part 1 and have a > 0.5 log10 decline in HIV-1 RNA will receive elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) single-tablet regimen (STR) plus atazanavir (ATV) once daily for 48 weeks. Participants who received TAF who have a ≤ 0.5 log10 decline in HIV-1 RNA will be discontinued from the study and will not be eligible to continue into Part 2 of the study. All participants who received placebo in Part 1 will be eligible to participate in Part 2 regardless of their viral load change. After completion of Part 2, all participants will be eligible to continue to receive E/C/F/TAF plus ATV in the extension phase until E/C/F/TAF becomes commercially available, or until Gilead Sciences terminates development of E/C/F/TAF in the applicable country.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate and to compare the specific antibody response to a " prime-boost " vaccine strategy combining the seven valence pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PnCj) prime at W0 followed by the administration of the pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide vaccine (PPS) boost at W4, to the administration of the pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide vaccine (PPS) alone at W4 in patients with common variable immunodeficiency.

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the rate of early discontinuation from randomized Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Postexposure Prophylaxis (PEP) for any reason other than confirmation of the negative HIV infection status of the index person in patients receiving HIV PEP for at least 28 and a maximum of 30 days.

This randomized clinical trial uses a health plan's electronic medical record (EMR) alcohol screen; and examines innovative behavioral interventions, and their cost effectiveness, for hazardous drinking within a large HIV primary care clinic. We will compare Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Email Feedback (EF) to usual care; and evaluate the effect of the interventions on unhealthy drinking, comorbid drug use, enrollment in substance use treatment programs, and HIV outcomes including antiretroviral therapy adherence, HIV RNA control, and unsafe sex. Given the well-known adverse effects of unhealthy drinking on HIV care and outcomes, the proposed study has the potential to make a significant impact in the care of HIV patients.
