NCT03675815
This is a non-randomised, controlled, parallel group, sub-study of D2EFT (NCT03017872), a randomised, open-label study in approximately 1,000 HIV-infected adults failing first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) in low-middle income countries. The sub-study will be offered to all D2EFT sites with access to DXA technology for whole-body composition analysis. Sites will offer the sub-study to consecutive clinic patients. Patients must be approached for participation and provide informed written consent prior to randomisation into D2EFT. This study will recruit approximately 300 patients. Allocation to one of three ART treatment regimens will follow the result of D2EFT randomisation. The study will investigate the role of contemporary ART on body composition and metabolic parameters by comparing over 96 weeks the effects of the D2EFT ART regimens. The primary endpoint will be assessed at week 48.
NCT03362476
The study harnessed the multidisciplinary expertise of our research team to develop a brief, computer-based, alcohol reduction intervention tailored for HIV/HCV co-infected women and evaluate its efficacy. The intervention, if effective, may be an efficient and cost-effective alcohol reduction strategy, that is scalable and can be readily disseminated and integrated in clinical care at other AIDS Centres in Russia to enhance women's health and reduce HIV/HCV transmission risk.
NCT02677025
This supplement study is an adaptation of the larger NIH-funded parent study, the Women's Health CoOp+, which tests a combination biobehavioral HIV prevention approach to enhance standard HIV testing practices for alcohol and drug (AOD)-using women across the city of Pretoria, South Africa. The current supplemental study seeks to reach AOD-using female adolescents who experience the greatest burden of new HIV infections and are currently underserved by HIV and drug-treatment programs in Cape Town, South Africa and test the validation of both the instrument and adapted intervention.
NCT01224184
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a cultural-, age- and gender-focused Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevention intervention in reducing risk behaviors among African-American young women relative to general health intervention.
NCT04048551
The project seeks to determine whether implementing a multilevel, woman-focused intervention, the Young Women's Health CoOp (YWHC), for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) readiness, uptake, and adherence is a viable complement to the HIV prevention plan for the Government of South Africa. Specifically, this project aims to: increase uptake, of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and readiness and uptake of PrEP among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) aged 16 to 24 who engage in high-risk sexual behaviors; and reduce their barriers to accessing SRH services by addressing and reducing stigma and discrimination (S\&D) in clinics.
NCT02965014
This three-arm cross-over randomized trial will develop, test, and compare the efficacy of two delivery formats of the Young Women's CoOp (YWC), which is designed to provide risk reduction and empowerment skills, as well as linkages to healthcare services for women who use substances. The current study will develop a revised version of the YWC and evaluate the relative efficacy of a face-to-face (face-to-face YWC), mobile Health application (mHealth YWC) delivery format, and HIV counseling and testing (HCT) as a control to reduce risky sexual behaviors and reduce substance use among young (18-25) African American women who use substances and are sexually active and have not recently been tested for HIV in three NC counties.
NCT04650269
The purpose of this study is to see if providing HIV medicine right away at the IDEA Syringe Services Program will help the participant start and remain in HIV care, including having no detectable HIV in the participant's blood.
NCT05545449
The purpose of this study is to examine the implementation ( e.g. training, reach, acceptability) of a a youth friendly pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) peer mentorship program for Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA). This program will include the use of PrEP focused peer-mentors for education on HIV risk and on PrEP as well as for support for those who end up starting PrEP. This will be an adaptation from the HIV peer mentor program which has been successfully utilized at the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) to improve on the outcomes of Adolescents Living with HIV. Investigators use the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation and Sustainment (EPIS) implementation science framework to guide our research process and address our implementation aims. We will use both qualitative (key stakeholder focus group discussions (FGDs)) and quantitative data collection methods (electronic health records (EHR) review) to evaluate the acceptability and change in knowledge and number of adolescents.
NCT04083170
This phase II trial studies the side effects of a cord blood transplant using dilanubicel and to see how well it works in treating patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive hematologic (blood) cancers. After a cord blood transplant, the immune cells, including white blood cells, can take a while to recover, putting the patient at increased risk of infection. Dilanubicel consists of blood stem cells that help to produce mature blood cells, including immune cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and thiotepa, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Total body irradiation is a type of whole-body radiation. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a cord blood transplant with dilanubicel may help to kill any cancer cells that are in the body and make room in the patient's bone marrow for new stem cells to grow and reduce the risk of infection.
NCT04170374
In its 2017 revision of the global guidelines for HIV care and treatment, the World Health Organization called for rapid or same-day initiation of antiretroviral treatment (ART) for eligible patients testing positive for HIV. The South African National Department of Health adopted this recommendation in October 2017. Neither organization provided detailed guidance, however, on how to implement the recommendation. In sub-Saharan Africa, where most HIV patients are located, studies continue to document high losses of treatment-eligible patients from care before they receive their first dose of antiretroviral medications (ARVs). Among facility-level reasons for these losses are treatment initiation protocols that require multiple clinic visits and long waiting times before a patient who tests positive for HIV is dispensed an initial supply of medications. There is very little published evidence on the practical details of the process and the extent to which it varies by facility, setting, or country. Without a robust baseline evidence base, it is challenging to identify opportunities for making improvements. The SPRINT (Survey of Procedures and Resources for Initiating Treatment of HIV in Africa) study will begin to develop this evidence base. SPRINT will combine a facility-level description of the standard of care with a retrospective record review of patients who recently initiated ART at the study sites. Data will be collected from 12 clinics across 3 provinces in South Africa (KwaZuluNatal Province, Gauteng Province, and Limpopo Province). The survey will elicit detailed information about current procedures through structured interviews with clinic staff. The record review for a retrospective cohort of patients eligible for ART will estimate actual numbers of clinic visits, services provided, and duration of the steps for treatment initiation from start to finish. SPRINT is expected to identify differences in approaches to treatment initiation and potential opportunities for improvement.
NCT05300035
RHIVIERA-02 trial is a placebo-controlled double-blinded two arm prospective phase II trial. This study will test the use of broadly neutralising antibodies (bNAbs) in participants, at primary HIV infection (PHI) and ART initiation.
NCT06747754
In Italy, there are over 90,000 patients with HIV-1 infection on antiretroviral therapy (ART). The availability of different classes of antiretroviral drugs (nucleoside and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs, NNRTIs), protease inhibitors (PIs), integrase inhibitors (INSTIs) and viral entry inhibitors (IEs) that act in different phases of the HIV life cycle, together with careful patient management, has allowed us to obtain long-lasting therapeutic efficacy in the vast majority of Italian patients, making this infection a chronic disease.The introduction of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has completely revolutionized the management of HIV-positive patients, drastically reducing HIV-associated mortality and morbidity. In fact, the course of HIV infection has transformed into a chronic disease, and the number of HIV-infected patients over 50 years of age has increased significantly and the number of elderly subjects is progressively increasing. Furthermore, HIV infection seems to accelerate the aging process, causing immune system dysfunction, excess oxidative stress and increased inflammatory processes (inflammaging).
NCT05349838
HIV-1 infected subjects that experience virological failure while on non nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), including those with the K103N mutation, are usually switched to a boosted Protease Inhibitor (PI)-based regimen or other antiretroviral (ARV) combinations. The same is true for subjects who need to start antiretroviral therapy and have acquired virus that is already resistant to antiretrovirals. These "second line" combinations are often associated with numerous issues that can have a potential impact on the quality of life (QoL) of these patients. Therefore a simpler and better tolerated alternative second line treatment option would be a useful tool for the clinical management of these patients. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and tolerability of a dual combined therapy of Dolutegravir (DTG) 50 mg Once Daily (OD) + Rilpivirine (RPV) 25 mg OD in virologically suppressed participants with previous virological failure with NNRTIs and having the clinically significant mutation K103N. The secondary objective of the study is to assess whether a simplification of the treatment in terms of pill burden, long term metabolic toxicity and potential for drug interactions improves the QOL of the participants. The study will also evaluate DTG \& RPV concentrations in the blood plus changes in cell associated virus. In order to compare the first line treatment (boosted PI and/or other antiretroviral combinations) and the DTG+RPV combination, two thirds of study participants will be switched to DTG+RPV immediately and receive DTG+RPV for 96 weeks. The other third will be switched after 48 weeks of continuing on their first line treatment and receive DTG+RPV for 48 weeks. All participants will then be followed up for a further 30 days. Participants will be recruited from sites across Europe, and randomised onto either arm of the study. After randomisation, participants will attend approximately 10 visits over the course of two years.
NCT03986697
Combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) is thought to promote coronary artery disease via a number of mechanisms: abnormal lipid profiles, endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, insulin resistance and renal impairment are the main pathological mechanisms driving atherosclerosis as a consequence of cART. An association between protease inhibitors and increased cardiovascular disease risk has been shown in many large cohort trials. CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA) is now widely used to assess for the presence of atherosclerosis, typically in patients presenting with chest pain. This imaging technique allows visualisation of the coronary arteries and quantification of any atherosclerotic disease that may be present. This technique is being increasingly used as a surrogate for cardiovascular disease risk. HART CT is an open label, prospective, randomised-control pilot study to investigate the feasibility of performing a future appropriately powered multi-centred randomised control trial using CT based outcome data as a surrogate for cardiovascular disease risk. Participants will be randomised to either continue their usual cART or switch to Biktarvy (a fixed dose combination of bictegravir, emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide). A baseline CT scan will be performed. If there is any evidence of atherosclerosis a further CT scan will be performed at the end of the study (approximately 48 weeks). This will allow quantification of any change in coronary artery plaque burden or characteristic. Participants will be also followed up for any changes in metabolic health.
NCT05935462
During the transition phase from early intervention to primary education (4.5 years to 8.11 years), children with special needs may encounter difficulties in using digital learning media. The investigators intend to apply the TRIZ analysis method to enhance children's participation in learning. Additionally, the investigators plan to design a preliminary model of learning aids and conduct a trial.
NCT04418037
This study is a prospective single arm open label intervention study over 16 weeks using the DHFS and a telemedicine platform with persons living with HIV who are not virologically suppressed, admitted to UCSD Hillcrest Medical Center and initiating or restarting anti-retroviral therapy (ARVs). This proof of concept study will investigate the feasibility of using the DHFS in hospitalized individuals living with HIV to support ARV adherence. The Study intervention has an initiation phase of 2 weeks, a persistence phase of 14 weeks and a follow-up phase out to 48 weeks. Once study consent is obtained, the participant will receive a focused case navigation, psychiatric and substance abuse evaluation and will initiate digitized ARVs, either in hospital or at the AVRC within 14 days of hospital discharge, in collaboration with their providers. The study intervention will be considered to start from the point at which the DHFS is started. The study team will ensure the participants continue to utilize the DHFS both in hospital and after discharge. Following the 16 week intervention the study team will continue to follow participants to evaluate retention in care and viral suppression up to 48 weeks in collaboration with the outpatient care providers.
NCT04174755
The prevalence of obesity is rising worldwide, both in low- and high-income countries, including people with HIV (PWH). Semaglutide's efficacy in achieving weight loss in obese PWH is still unexplored. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of semaglutide in achieving greater weight loss compared to diet and excercise alone in obese PWH and to explore the effect of semaglutide on the immune function, markers of immune activation, viral reservoir, markers of glucose and lipid metabolism and gut microbiome.
NCT03001128
The purpose of this study is to collect information about what happens when people pause, or temporarily stop taking, ART, and to collect blood samples from these people at frequent intervals. We will also study the safety of pausing ART under close observation.
NCT03535337
The purpose of this study is to test an adaptive adherence intervention, which utilizes two mobile health (mHealth) intervention designs, in an effort to promote adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and achieve and maintain viral load (VL) suppression in youth living with HIV (YLH) while increasing understanding of the context for wide-scale implementation of cell phone support (CPS) and text messaging support (SMS), with and without incentives.
NCT04212091
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity of the monoclonal antibody PGT121.414.LS administered alone and in combination with VRC07-523LS via intravenous or subcutaneous infusions in healthy, HIV-uninfected adult participants.
