NCT00000677
To assess the safety and effectiveness of SCH 39304 as primary treatment of acute cryptococcal meningitis in HIV-infected patients. Safety and effectiveness of maintenance therapy following successful treatment of acute disease are also evaluated. Cryptococcal meningitis is a significant cause of illness and death in HIV-infected patients. Intravenous amphotericin B is effective for acute disease but relapse occurs in the majority of patients. Maintenance therapy is recommended but must be balanced against the multiple toxicities of the drugs used and the problems associated with the weekly administration of intravenous therapy. Treatments that are equally or more effective and less toxic than traditional methods are needed, especially oral therapy. SCH 39304 is an orally active antifungal drug that in animal studies is active against a wide range of systemic fungal infections including infections due to Cryptococcus. Features of SCH 39304 suggest that it might be of value in the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis.
NCT00052156
This is a Phase III study in patients with melanoma that has spread to the lymph nodes and/or a distant organ, and who have had all of their cancer surgically removed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of the CancerVax™ vaccine to prevent or slow the recurrence of melanoma.
NCT00011895
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of treatment with Trizivir (TZV) plus efavirenz (EFV) or TZV alone on viral load (level of HIV in the blood).
NCT00002440
The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give 1592U89 plus certain protease inhibitors (PIs) to HIV-infected patients who never have been treated with anti-HIV drugs. This study also examines how the body processes these drugs when they are given together.
NCT00002340
To assess whether high dose or low dose atovaquone suspension is more effective than aerosolized pentamidine as prophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in high-risk HIV-infected patients. To compare the safety of chronic administration of the three regimens in patients with advanced HIV disease. To determine the relationship between steady state atovaquone plasma concentrations and prophylactic efficacy against PCP.
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.
NCT00028405
This multi-center photodynamic therapy study plans to treat patients with large tumors in any superficial location, sarcoma, tumors of oral/oro-pharyngeal cavity, tumors with extensive pelvic involvement, or liver metastasis. The treatment is limited to patients that have failed to respond to currently approved methods of treatment. The study involves a single, intravenous administration of an investigational drug, LS11 (previously studied in approximately 80 cancer patients) and the placement of a novel, flexible light delivery catheter inside the tumor by a minor surgical procedure. The activation of LS11 by the light delivery catheter over a period of 1-24 hrs may result in destruction of tumor tissue.
NCT00002243
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of a new non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), (+)-calanolide A, in HIV-positive patients who have never received anti-HIV treatment.
NCT00002368
To evaluate the tolerance, safety, and effectiveness of Viramune in preventing clinical AIDS progression events or death when used in combination with Lamivudine and background nucleoside therapy.
NCT00002374
To examine the efficacy of saquinavir SGC (soft gel capsules) in combination with other antiretrovirals in HIV-1 infected patients currently treated with saquinavir HGC (hard gel capsules) measured by the absolute change in plasma HIV-1 RNA during the 24 weeks of study treatment.
NCT00002386
The purpose of this study is to see if indinavir plus two other anti-HIV drugs affect blood clotting in HIV-positive patients with hemophilia.
NCT00002379
To evaluate the safety and tolerance of adefovir dipivoxil and indinavir administered orally in combination with zidovudine, lamivudine, or stavudine in HIV-infected patients with CD4 cell counts \>= 100 cells/mm3 and an HIV-1 RNA baseline copy number \>= 5000 copies/ml. To determine the proportion of patients whose plasma HIV-1 RNA level falls below the level of detection (500 copies/ml) by 20 weeks of study therapy and the average reduction in HIV-1 RNA from baseline through study week 20. To evaluate the durability of the antiviral response through 48 weeks of study in patients who continue on study therapy after week 24.
NCT00002361
The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give an anti-HIV drug combination containing indinavir and ritonavir to HIV-positive patients who have failed previous treatment with protease inhibitors.
NCT00002414
The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give CPI-1189 to patients with AIDS dementia. Advanced HIV infection can cause AIDS dementia (brain damage due to HIV leading to loss of memory and muscle control). CPI-1189 may be able to postpone AIDS dementia or slow it down.
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.
NCT00044135
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of 12 weeks of treatment with clevudine, at one of three doses, in patients chronically infected with hepatitis B virus.
NCT00002437
To determine whether cidofovir (HPMPC) therapy administered by intravenous infusion can extend the time to progression of peripheral cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in AIDS patients. To evaluate the safety and tolerance of HPMPC therapy when administered by intravenous infusion in AIDS patients with CMV retinitis that is not immediately sight-threatening. To evaluate the virologic effects of intravenous HPMPC therapy on CMV shedding in urine, blood, and/or semen. To evaluate the impact of HPMPC therapy on visual acuity.
NCT00002396
To evaluate the safety of single and multiple doses (28 daily doses) of 9-\[2-(R)-\[\[bis\[\[(isopropoxycarbonyl)- oxy\]methoxy\]phosphinoyl\]methoxy\]propyl\]adenine fumarate (PMPA) prodrug administered orally to HIV-infected patients. To determine the pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of PMPA prodrug when administered orally to HIV-infected patients. To evaluate the anti-HIV activity of PMPA prodrug, as demonstrated by increases in CD4 cell counts and decreases in HIV RNA, when administered orally as a single dose and daily for 4 weeks to HIV-infected patients with CD4 cell counts of 200 or more cells/mm3.
NCT00002419
The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give adefovir dipivoxil plus abacavir (ABC) plus efavirenz (EFV) plus amprenavir (APV) to HIV-infected patients who have failed to respond to previous treatment with protease inhibitors (PIs).
NCT00002314
To study the effects of Ro 24-7429 on tumor growth in patients with HIV-related Kaposi's sarcoma. To study the safety and tolerance, effects on HIV replication, and immunologic effects of Ro 24-7429 in this patient population. To explore relationships between exposure to Ro 24-7429 and its metabolites with its antitumor and antiviral activities and drug toxicity.
