HIV Infections Clinical Trials

Weekly intramuscular injections of 250mg 17-alpha hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17P) or indistinguishable placebo will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio started between 16-24 weeks gestation and administered weekly thereafter until 36 6/7 gestational weeks, stillbirth, or delivery, whichever is sooner. Individual participants will be followed from enrollment (prior to 24 ...

Study design Randomized, single-center, open-label, 96-week superiority study. Patients with HIV-RNA <50 copies/mL while receiving DTG plus one RTI will be randomized 1:1 to continue the ongoing treatment or to switch to E/C/F/TAF. Randomization list will be a computer-generated list (with equal block sizes) and will be incorporated within an ...

Clinical Phase: III Trial Design: Multi-site, individually randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of weekly azithromycin for 12 months Trial Participants: Children aged 6-16 years living with HIV and with diagnosis of chronic lung disease. Another 200 children living with HIV but with no chronic lung disease in a comparison arm. Planned ...

BCG vaccination may have non-specific effects (NSE) i.e., additional benefits on childhood morbidity and mortality that are separate the vaccine's effect on the incidence of disseminated tuberculosis. Though the available literature is mostly from observational study designs, and is fraught with controversy, BCG vaccination at birth, in a high risk ...

Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PcP) increased in non HIV immunocompromised patients. Mortality remains high for those patients with comorbidities (50% for patients with the most severe Pneumocystis pneumonia). Physiopathology, characteristics and outcome of PcP in non-HIV patients remains different from those in HIV patients. Steroids in HIV patients with PcP has ...

Pilot study to evaluate the impact of extremely early ART in the dynamics of viral reservoir, immune activation and inflammation in patients with HIV-1 infection of less than 20 days (Fiebig stages I-II) compared to patients with infection of 20-100 days (Fiebig stages III-V), to induce HIV functional cure.

This is a 48-week, randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter study of the safety and efficacy of albuvirtide plus lopinavir-ritonavir in HIV-1 infected adults who are failing their first antiretroviral regimen and have HIV-1 RNA levels >= 1000 copies/mL at screening. Subjects meeting inclusion criteria are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to ...

This is a pilot, randomised, open label, controlled clinical trial. All eligible patients(CD4>350, HIV RNA<50 copies and no PI mutations) will be randomized (1:1) to receive LPV/r new tabs (200/50 mg, 2 cpr BID) monotherapy (arm A) or LPV/r + selected NUCS (arm B) associated to anti-HCV therapy for 12 ...

The response to vaccination for hepatitis is reduced in patients with HIV infection. The hypothesis of the study is that adjuvant interleukin-2 administered subcutaneously at the time of vaccination improves the response rate.

The wide use of NVP in pMTCT-prophylaxis may result in resistance to NNRTI and concomitantly limits the use of these drugs for the treatment of HIV-infected children. To avoid restricting treatment options for children, it is desirable to preserve NVP for both pMTCT and first line treatment. This study will ...
