NCT03226821
In this study, the investigators will examine the effect of therapy with the Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analog tesamorelin on body composition in patients with HIV lipodystrophy and central adiposity. This study is a single arm prospective study of tesamorelin therapy of patients with HIV lipodystrophy. Subjects will do body composition testing, adipose tissue biopsy, metabolic rate measurements and insulin sensitivity assessment before, 6 and 12 months after daily injections of tesamorelin 2 mg by subcutaneous injection.
NCT02530827
Background: Several studies have reported increased resting energy expenditure (REE) in people living with HIV/AIDS possibly due to changes in body composition that occurs in HIV lipodystrophy syndrome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the use of lipid-lowering drugs in resting energy expenditure (REE) and total energy expenditure (TEE) in patients seropositive for HIV in treatment of lipodystrophy.
NCT00069004
The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of metabolic and physical abnormalities in HIV infected (via mother-to-child transmission) and uninfected children and youth. Metabolism, body composition, bone density, and other factors will be assessed in relationship to participants' exposure to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
NCT00122655
The aim of this trial is to evaluate the impact on fat distribution of switching to NRTI-sparing regimens in lipoatrophic antiretroviral experienced patients with complete viral suppression. Maintenance of virological suppression and immunological factors are also assessed.
