NCT00000648
To provide information on the response of HIV infected, neurosyphilis patients to the currently recommended treatment for neurosyphilis; to determine whether possible co-infection with both HIV and syphilis makes more difficult the diagnosis of syphilis; to explore the usefulness of an alternative treatment which, if effective, would permit outpatient treatment for neurosyphilis that until now required prolonged hospitalization. Studies suggest that syphilis treatment failures may be more common in HIV infected patients than in patients without HIV infection and that treatment failures occur due to and/or are displayed as central nervous system (CNS) involvement. Very little is known about the best treatment course for neurosyphilis in patients who are also infected with HIV.
NCT00000653
To evaluate and compare the long-term (48-177 weeks) safety, tolerance, and efficacy of two doses of zalcitabine ( dideoxycytidine; ddC ) taken orally every 8 hours in children with symptomatic HIV infection who have one of the following: intolerance to zidovudine ( AZT ) (development of toxicity during prolonged AZT therapy), demonstrated disease progression after 6 months of AZT therapy, OR both AZT intolerance and disease progression after 6 months of AZT therapy. As useful as AZT appears to be in the treatment of patients infected with HIV, it is associated with significant toxicity in some patients, and it does not prevent ultimate progression to AIDS and eventual mortality. Thus, there is a clear need for new antiretroviral drugs, and ddC is one such promising agent.
NCT00272493
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a naturally occurring substance that is made by the body in response to infection or inflammation, and greatly improves cellular immune responses. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of GM-CSF as an adjuvant to improve the immune response to hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination in HIV infected individuals.
NCT01479296
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immune response to the Vaccine Research Center (VRC) rAd5 HIV vaccine when the vaccine components are administered in three different ways, in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults.
NCT03631732
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of switching from a regimen of 2 nucleos(t)Ide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and a third agent to a fixed dose combination (FDC) of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) versus continuing their baseline regimen in HIV-1 infected, virologically suppressed African American participants.
NCT02440789
The purpose of this study was to find out about the safety of sirolimus in individuals with HIV infection who were also being treated with ART. The investigators wanted to learn whether sirolimus decreases inflammation and immune activation in the body; whether sirolimus changes the level of HIV in the participants' blood; and how sirolimus interacts with ART in the blood. Sirolimus is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to prevent organ rejection in patients aged 13 years and older receiving kidney transplants. Sirolimus had also been used for the prevention of complications after stem cell transplants and as a treatment for certain kinds of cancers in HIV-infected patients.
NCT01928927
The main goal of this study was to see if a drug called telmisartan would decrease fibrosis (scarring) and inflammation (irritation) in people who are infected with HIV and doing well on their HIV medications. The study was also done to see what effects telmisartan has on other signs of disease and inflammation in the body, and to see whether people who have HIV can take telmisartan safely and without side effects that make them want to stop the drug. Telmisartan is FDA-approved for treating high blood pressure and decreasing the chance of heart attacks and strokes in people over the age of 55 years of age who are at high risk for these events.
NCT03945981
Early initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces morbidity and mortality for individuals infected with HIV. Suppressing viral replication with ART also reduces the potential for transmission of HIV. Hence, ART is recommended for all persons with HIV viremia regardless of cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) count. This is an open-label single arm which will evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety using a fixed dose combination (FDC) of Dolutegravir (DTG) plus Lamivudine (3TC) as a first line regimen of a rapid Test and Treat model of care over 48 weeks. Participants with new and confirmed diagnosed HIV-1 who are willing to start study treatment immediately following diagnosis will receive 50 milligram (mg) DTG + 300 (mg) 3TC FDC as first line therapy without waiting for screening laboratory results, at the Screening/Day 1 Visit. The total duration for the study will be 52 weeks and 4 weeks of follow up period if required. This study will be conducted in United States (US) with approximately 120 participants.
NCT00007332
The purpose of this study is to see if the vaccines tested are safe when given alone and when given together, and how the immune system responds to the vaccines. Vaccines are given to people to try to prevent an infection or disease. Early testing in a few people has shown that the HIV vaccines ALVAC vCP1452 and AIDSVAX B/B seem to be safe to use.
NCT00000630
To determine if priming (giving the first vaccination) with a vaccinia recombinant (HIVAC-1e) provides a significant advantage in immunogenicity (production of antibodies) compared to priming with a soluble recombinant protein (gp160); to learn more about the safety of the combination use of the two HIV envelope vaccines utilized in the study. Recent studies at the AIDS vaccine units have shown the safety of two candidate HIV vaccines, HIVAC-1e and gp160. Specific questions to be addressed in this part of the study include: Does combination vaccination result in a synergistic (added) response not predicted by just the addition of a second vaccination, and does this synergism depend on the unique priming effect of a vaccinia recombinant, or will any combination do?
NCT00125970
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety of and immune response to a DNA HIV vaccine followed by an adenoviral vector HIV vaccine in HIV uninfected adults.
NCT02431767
The study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of the PENNVAX®-GP HIV-1 DNA vaccine and interleukin 12 (IL-12) DNA adjuvant, given by intradermal (ID) or intramuscular (IM) injection with electroporation (EP), in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults.
NCT02207920
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immune response to different combinations of two experimental HIV vaccines-the DNA-HIV-PT123 vaccine and the AIDSVAX® B/E vaccine-in healthy adults who are not infected with HIV.
NCT00119873
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of and immune response to an experimental HIV vaccine in HIV uninfected individuals.
NCT00801697
This study will evaluate the safety and preliminary immune response to recombinant adenoviral serotype 35 and 5 HIV-1 vaccines in HIV-uninfected adults.
NCT00270218
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of and immune response to an adenoviral vector HIV vaccine or a DNA HIV vaccine, each followed by an adenoviral vector HIV vaccine boost, in HIV uninfected adults.
NCT00528489
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and immune response to the DNA HIV vaccine, PENNVAX-B alone, in combination with IL-12, or with 2 different doses of IL-15.
NCT00141024
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety of and immune response to the investigational HIV vaccine, EP HIV-1090, in HIV uninfected adults.
NCT00384787
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of, immune response to, and tolerability of an adenoviral vector HIV vaccine given after a three-dose regimen of a DNA HIV vaccine. The adenoviral vaccine will be given into arm muscle (intramuscularly), between skin layers (intradermally), or under the skin (subcutaneously). NOTE: In October 2007, vaccinations with the adenoviral vaccine, VRC-HIVADV014-00-VP, were discontinued. In December 2007, vaccinations with the DNA vaccine were also discontinued. Participants will be followed for safety and immune responses at regular study visits.
NCT00043511
The purpose of this study is to see if the experimental HIV vaccine pGA2/JS2 is safe and is well tolerated at two different doses. Another important purpose of this study is to observe how the immune system responds to the vaccine at different dose levels. Vaccines are given to people to help their bodies fight infection. The vaccine being tested in this study is a DNA vaccine. The pGA2/JS2 plasmid DNA vaccine instructs the body to make some HIV proteins. These HIV proteins may trigger an immune response. Because only a few of the many proteins HIV needs are made through DNA vaccination, there is no risk of getting HIV from the vaccination. This and other similar DNA vaccines have been tested for safety in mice, rabbits, and monkeys. The vaccine has been well tolerated at doses to be used in this study.
