NCT00002168
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of two anti-HIV drug combinations when given to HIV-infected patients who have never been treated with anti-HIV drugs. One drug combination is stavudine (d4T) plus didanosine (ddI) plus Crixivan. The other combination is Retrovir (AZT) plus Epivir (3TC) plus Crixivan.
NCT00121979
Racivir ® (RCV) is an experimental drug which means it is not approved for use by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but it can be used in research studies like this one. RCV (Racivir®) is part of a class of drugs known as "Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors" (NRTIs), which are intended to block a further increase in the amount of HIV virus in the body. Laboratory research suggests that RCV (Racivir®) may be effective in patients who have developed resistance to other NRTIs, particularly 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir®). However, a study of RCV (Racivir®) has not been done with patients who have previously been treated with other HAART (Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy -- taking multiple HIV drugs at once) medications including 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir®). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of RCV (Racivir®) when used together with other HIV drugs in people who have previously been treated with 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir®) and are failing with their current HAART treatments. This study will include a total of 60 HIV infected, HAART-experienced subjects currently receiving 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir®) as part of their HAART therapy. The study will take place at approximately 11 study sites in the US and Latin America.
NCT00124358
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, cost and effectiveness of interventions designed to integrate buprenorphine treatment for opioid dependence into HIV primary care in ten HIV care centers in the U.S.
NCT00038519
The purpose of this study is to study the safety and efficacy of Amprenavir/ritonavir or saquinavir/ritonavir in HIV infected patients that have failed Kaletra as their second protease inhibitor based HAART.
NCT00023348
Primary Objectives: 1\) To determine the proportion of patients with HIV-related tuberculosis who have abnormal pharmacokinetic parameters for isoniazid and rifabutin. Secondary Objectives: 1. To determine risk factors for abnormal pharmacokinetic parameters for isoniazid and rifabutin. 2. To evaluate the correlation between pharmacokinetic parameters of isoniazid and rifabutin and the occurrence of toxicity attributed to antituberculous therapy. 3. To evaluate the correlation between pharmacokinetic parameters of isoniazid and rifabutin and the efficacy of TB therapy. 4. To define and correlate phenotypic INH acetylator status with the results of genotypic acetylator data obtained in the parent trial.
NCT00023400
Primary Objective: To define the impact of nelfinavir (given at 1250mg bid as part of a combination antiretroviral regimen) on peak levels and area under the curve for rifabutin and the rifabutin metabolite, 25-O-desacetyl rifabutin when rifabutin is given at 300 mg bi-weekly as part of tuberculosis chemotherapy. Secondary Objectives: To compare the pharmacokinetics of nelfinavir given twice daily at 1250 mg bid with twice-weekly isoniazid and rifabutin to the pharmacokinetics of nelfinavir 1250 mg twice-daily in historical HIV-infected patients not receiving isoniazid and rifabutin. To evaluate the correlation between pharmacokinetic parameters of rifabutin and 25-O-desacetyl rifabutin and the occurrence of toxicity attributed to rifabutin in patients with HIV-related tuberculosis. To define detailed pharmacokinetics of isoniazid given at 15mg/kg or 900 mg in patients with HIV-related tuberculosis. To attempt to derive optimal sampling times for nelfinavir and rifabutin pharmacokinetic studies.
NCT00007436
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF) in combination with other anti-HIV drugs in patients who have participated in other tenofovir DF studies (GS-98-902 or GS-99-907), are able to tolerate the drug at different doses, and may benefit from having tenofovir DF treatment.
NCT00002015
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of intravenous ganciclovir in children (ages 3 months - 12 years). To determine the safety and tolerance of a 2 to 3 week induction course of ganciclovir IV in immunocompromised children receiving treatment for life- or sight-threatening cytomegalovirus infections.
NCT00002228
The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give T-20 to HIV-positive adults. T-20 is an anti-HIV drug.
NCT00001989
This study involves GLQ223 administration to patients who have not previously been exposed to it, but who have received at least 9 months of zidovudine therapy. Efficacy evaluations will include survival, opportunistic infections, T4 cell count, and assessments of viral load.
NCT00000780
PRIMARY: To identify, characterize, and co-enroll HIV-infected adolescents into existing and future ACTG (or other NIH-sponsored) HIV treatment protocols through the systematic and recurrent assessment of eligibility. To assess the ability of adolescents enrolled in ACTG 220 to adhere to ACTG (or other NIH-sponsored) HIV treatment protocols; and to define factors that influence the adolescent's ability to enter or adhere to study protocols. SECONDARY: To describe the nature, stage, and progression of HIV infection in adolescents. Little is known about HIV-infected adolescents as a group and, as a result, small numbers of them are currently enrolled in ACTG drug studies. Creative approaches are needed to encourage enrollment of HIV-infected adolescents whose socio-demographic profile has made access to NIH-sponsored research unlikely.
NCT00002446
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of 2 treatments for thrush (a fungal infection of the mouth and throat) in HIV-positive patients. Fluconazole is a drug that is commonly used to treat thrush. SCH 56592 is a new drug that will be compared to fluconazole.
NCT00002442
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of 2 dosing schedules (once daily vs twice daily) of lamivudine (3TC) given with stavudine (d4T) and either indinavir (IDV) or nelfinavir (NFV) for 24 weeks.
NCT00008489
The purpose of this study is to compare gastrointestinal (stomach and intestines) side effects of 2 forms of Videx in HIV-infected patients. Videx can be an effective anti-HIV treatment but many patients will not take the medication due to its side effects. Videx EC is a capsule form of the drug and may have fewer side effects. Also, patients would not have to take as many pills since patients taking Videx EC would have to take only 1 capsule per day instead of 2 tablets per day. This study will see if patients taking Videx EC have fewer side effects.
NCT00002265
To demonstrate that zalcitabine (dideoxycytidine; ddC) monotherapy is safe and tolerable in the treatment of patients with AIDS or advanced AIDS related complex (ARC) who previously demonstrated intolerance to zidovudine (AZT) treatment while in Protocol N3300 (NIAID ACTG 114) or N3492 (NIAID ACTG 119). NOTE OF CAUTION FOR CONCOMITANT MEDICATIONS ON STUDY: Patients on amphotericin, pyrimethamine, sulfadiazine, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, ganciclovir, intravenous pentamidine, intravenous acyclovir or oral acyclovir or other bone marrow or renal toxic drugs may not tolerate concomitant ddC. If these drugs are given concomitantly with ddC, patients should have frequent clinical and laboratory assessments, as appropriate. Drugs that are nephrotoxic or have the potential to cause peripheral neuropathy might be expected to cause increased toxicity when co-administered with ddC. Drugs that could cause serious additive toxicity when co-administered with study medication will be allowed for treatment of an acute intercurrent illness or opportunistic infection at the discretion of the investigator. Their use may be allowed with interruption of study drug for up to 35 days per episode, for a total of 90 days for the study. If the patient's condition requires chronic administration of these medications, the patient will be discontinued from study medication and followed.
NCT00017758
The purpose of this study is to find out whether certain anti-HIV drugs (efavirenz \[EFV\] and nelfinavir \[NFV\]) affect the amount of certain fat-lowering drugs (atorvastatin, pravastatin, and simvastatin) in the blood. Protease inhibitors (PIs), a type of anti-HIV drug, are known to cause increased lipids (fats) in the blood of HIV-infected patients. EFV also is known to increase blood fats. HIV-infected patients who take PIs and/or EFV may need to take fat-lowering drugs to correct this problem. So it is important to look at possible drug interactions when these drugs are taken together. This study will see if taking EFV or NFV, a protease inhibitor, affects the blood level of simvastatin, atorvastatin, or pravastatin (all fat-lowering drugs). To obtain results more quickly, the study population will be healthy HIV-negative volunteers.
NCT00004985
The purpose of this study is to look at the effectiveness of an anti-HIV drug combination that adds capravirine in patients who have failed their first drug combination treatment.
NCT00002234
The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give HIV-infected patients a new combination of anti-HIV drugs taken once daily.
NCT00038636
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a high dose of ABT-378/ritonavir
