Active clinical trials for "Immunologic Deficiency Syndromes"

This study is a Phase IIa, randomized, multi-site, two-arm, double-blinded study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and acceptability of GSK1265744 long acting injectable formulation (744 LA) in adult male subjects. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the injectable agent, 744 LA (800 milligrams (mg) dose administered at three time points at 12 week intervals) through Week 41 in HIV-uninfected men. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 5:1 ratio to receive 744 LA or matching placebo. Participants will receive daily oral 744 (30 mg tablets) or matching placebo for 4 weeks during the Oral Phase of the study, followed by a one week washout period. Following safety lab assessments from the Oral Phase, participants will enter the Injection Phase and receive Intramuscular (IM) injections of 744 LA or placebo at three time points at 12 week intervals. IM injections will consist of 800 mg of 744 or a matching control

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the noninferiority of Algeron in combination with ribavirin compared to PegIntron in combination with ribavirin in treatment of chronic hepatitis C in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 infected patients

The study hypothesis is that cenicriviroc will improve cognition in HIV infected individuals with cognitive impairment. The investigators will study the effect of cenicriviroc on cognition in 24 subjects over a 24 week period.

This study will evaluate the noninferiority of Stribild® (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (E/C/F/TDF)) single-tablet regimen (STR) relative to regimens consisting of a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) plus Truvada® (FTC/TDF) in maintaining HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 48 in virologically suppressed, HIV-1 infected adults. This study will also evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the two regimens through 96 weeks of treatment.

The purpose of the study is to acquire additional data on safety and tolerability of recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) facilitated subcutaneous treatment of Immune Globulin Infusion (Human), 10% (IGI, 10%) and to assess the mode of product administration. Following a discussion with the FDA at the end of July 2012, all participants still active in the study stopped treatment with rHuPH20 to assure safety of the participants participating in the study and went into a safety follow-up. During this safety follow-up period, participants underwent treatment with the licensed product IGI, 10% (Gammagard Liquid). The intravenous or subcutaneous administration route was at the discretion of the participant and the investigator.

This study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (D/C/F/TAF) fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet versus darunavir (DRV)+cobicistat (COBI)+emtricitabine (FTC)/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-naive adults as determined by the achievement of HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 24.

In treatment naïve HIV infected subjects, combination antiretroviral therapy including efavirenz combined with tenofovir and emtricitabine will offer non-inferior antiretroviral efficacy over 48 weeks, compared to either atazanavir boosted with ritonavir combined with tenofovir and emtricitabine or tenofovir and emtricitabine combined with zidovudine and abacavir, as assessed by change from baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of epoetin alfa versus placebo for the treatment of anemia in AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) patients with anemia that is a result of this disease and zidovudine (AZT) treatment. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of epoetin alfa versus placebo in AIDS patients for the treatment of anemia that is a result of the disease or a result of zidovudine (AZT) treatment for AIDS. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.

This study will evaluate a new method for delivering gene transfer therapy to patients with severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) due to a defective adenosine deaminase (ADA) gene. This gene codes for the adenosine deaminase enzyme, which is essential for the proper growth and function of infection-fighting white blood cells called T and B lymphocytes. Patients who lack this enzyme are vulnerable to frequent and severe infections. Some patients with this disease receive enzyme replacement therapy with weekly injections of the drug PEG-ADA (ADAGEN). This drug may increase the number of immune cells and reduce infections, but it is not a cure. Gene transfer therapy, in which a normal ADA gene is inserted into the patient s cells, attempts to correct the underlying cause of disease. This therapy has been tried in a small number of patients with varying degrees of success. In this study, the gene will be inserted into the patient s stem cells (cells produced by the bone marrow that mature into the different blood components white cells, red cells and platelets). Patients with ADA deficiency and SCID who are taking PEG-ADA and are not candidates for HLA-identical sibling donor bone marrow transplantation may be eligible for this study. Participants will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center for 2 to 3 days. Stem cells will be collected either from cord blood (in newborn patients) or from the bone marrow. The bone marrow procedure is done under light sedation or general anesthesia. It involves drawing a small amount of marrow through a needle inserted into the hip bone. The stem cells in the marrow will be grown in the laboratory and a normal human ADA gene will be transferred into them through a special type of disabled mouse virus. A few days later, the patient will receive the ADA-corrected cells through an infusion in the vein that will last from 10 minutes to 2 hours. Patients will be evaluated periodically for immune function with blood tests, skin tests, and reactions to tetanus, diphtheria, H. influenza B and S. pneumoniae vaccinations. The survival of ADA-corrected cells will be monitored through blood tests. The number and amount of blood tests will depend on the patient s age, weight and health, but is expected that blood will not be drawn more than twice a month. Patients will also undergo bone marrow biopsy aspirate (as described above) twice a year. Patients will be followed once a year indefinitely to evaluate the long-term effects of therapy.
