Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) causes a persistent infection that ultimately leads to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Treatment of HIV-1 infection with combination anti-retroviral therapy (ART) suppresses HIV-1 replication to undetectable viral levels and saves lives. Nevertheless, ART cannot eradicate latent cellular reservoirs of the virus, and HIV-1 infection remains a life-long battle. Adoptive cellular immunotherapy using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) engineered T cells directed against HIV-1 envelope subunit protein gp120 (HIVCAR T cells) may provide a safe and effective way to eliminate HIV-infected cells. However, the number of HIV-infected cells is low in participants under ART, and CAR T cells disappear if they are not stimulated by their target antigens. Interestingly, about 95% of HIV-1-infected individuals are CMV-seropositive and CMV-specific T cells have been shown to persist. To overcome the CAR T cells low persistence issue, we propose to make HIV-CAR T cells using autologous cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific T cells, which can be stimulated by endogenous CMV in vivo. The overall hypothesis of this first-in-human Phase 1, open-label, single-arm study is that endogenous immune signals to CMV-specific T cells can maintain the presence of autologous bispecific CMV/HIV-CAR T cells in healthy people living with HIV-1 (PLWH), and achieve long-term remission in the presence of ART.
This study will test the effectiveness of a text message-based intervention on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing behaviors among adolescent (13-18 year old) sexual minority men and transgender and gender diverse teens (ASMM/TGD). To test the effectiveness on HIV testing behaviors we will randomize participants to the treatment or an attention matched information only control arm and asses our primary effectiveness outcome of objective HIV testing (e.g., photo of test results).
This is a 3-year study to test the efficacy of a text message-based intervention program. Dental patients at 4 community health centers (n= 266) will be randomized to receive either text messages (TMs) regarding HIV prevention or TMs regarding overall wellness. Prior to enrolling the 266 participants, the investigators will conduct a feasibility pilot (n=20) to test the TM delivery as well as all study procedures. For both the pilot and the randomized clinical trial (RCT), recruitment will be conducted at 4 Community Health Center dental clinics (Codman Square, East Boston (both East Boston and South End locations), Geiger Gibson, and Upham's Community Health Centers). Recruitment materials (flyers and permission to contact forms) may also be made available at other clinics within the health centers. The study will enroll English and Spanish-speaking patients who have at least one risk factor for HIV but are HIV-negative. Patients enrolled in the pilot will complete self-report surveys at baseline, 1 and 2 months. Participants enrolled in the RCT will complete self-report surveys baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months after baseline; receive and respond to TM assessments during the 6-month intervention.
Human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) is the virus that causes Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HIV disease is considered to be a chronic disease requiring lifelong therapy. The purpose of this study is to assess change in disease activity, adverse events, tolerability, and how the drug moves through the body. Budigalimab and ABBV-382 are investigational drugs being developed for the treatment of HIV disease. In Part 1, participants are placed in 1 of 5 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 7 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo (A placebo is not a drug and it is not expected to have any chemical effects on your body and it is not designed to treat any disease or illness). In Part 2, eligible participants will be placed in an open-label arm to receive Budigalimab. Approximately 160 adult participants living with HIV disease on stable antiretroviral therapy (ART) willing to undergo Analytical Treatment Interruption (ATI) will be enrolled at approximately 90 sites worldwide. In Part 1, participants will receive 4 doses of intravenous (IV) budigalimab or placebo combined with 3 doses of IV ABBV-382 or placebo for an 8 week dosing period. In Part 2, participants will receive 4 doses of open-label subcutaneous (SC) Budigalimab for a 6 week dosing period. Participants need to be stable on antiretroviral therapy to participate in the study. If participant qualifies to the study, on the day they receive the first injection, participants will be asked to stop antiretroviral medications (also referred to as analytical treatment interruption or ATI) for 112 weeks or until meeting specific criteria to restart antiretroviral medications. Participants will undergo a closely monitored ART interruption. Protocol-defined ART restart criteria includes participant's request. Participants will be followed for up to approximately 112 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. There will be an option for virtual or home health visits for some of the follow-up visits. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
The HIV diagnosis rate among African-born Black women is the highest of all Black individuals living in the US. Correct and consistent use of condoms and use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) are two effective means of decreasing HIV risk among women, but they remain suboptimal among Black women. The specific aims of this study are: 1. To culturally adapt two widely utilized, evidence-based HIV prevention interventions originally designed for US born Black women (Sister-to-Sister (S2S) and Sisters Informing Sisters about Topics on AIDS (SISTA)) for use by African-born women 2. To conduct a randomized controlled comparative effectiveness trial (RCT) to determine the effectiveness of adapted versions of S2S versus SISTA on increasing condom use and PrEP uptake among African-born women. The adapted versions of these interventions will be given new names that resonate with the African culture. The adapted version of S2S intervention will be called "Dada Kwa Dada (DKD)" intervention while the adapted version of SISTA intervention will be called "DADA" intervention. "DADA" means "Sister" in Swahili and other languages in Eastern and Western Africa.
The study aims at evaluating the efficacy of VH3810109, dosed in accordance with the dosing schedule as either intravenous (IV) infusion or subcutaneous (SC) infusion with recombinant hyaluronidase (rHuPH20), in combination with cabotegravir (CAB) intramuscular (IM) dosed in accordance with the dosing schedule in virologically suppressed, Antiretroviral therapy (ART)-experienced adult participants living with HIV. VH3810109 plus rHuPH20 plus Cabotegravir arm of the study has been discontinued based on preliminary results.
This is a multicentre study carried out in participants living with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) who have not previously been treated with any antiretroviral therapies. The study will investigate two 2-drug regimens for the treatment of HIV-1: a fixed-dose combination oral tablet of dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC) and cabotegravir plus rilpivirine long-acting agents (CAB + RPV LA). All participants will initially receive DTG/3TC once daily, and once virologic suppression is attained (plasma HIV-1 \<50 c/mL), participants will be offered a choice to switch to CAB + RPV LA or to continue taking oral DTG/3TC. This study will provide important data on the efficacy, safety, implementation effectiveness, and patient-reported outcomes of these two regimens in a study where participants have the option to choose between them based on individual preference. The aim of the study is to evaluate the antiviral effectiveness at 11 months after switching to CAB+RPV LA following initial virologic suppression on DTG/3TC and to provide data on how long it takes participants to suppress their viral load on DTG/3TC.
The study aims at evaluating the maintenance of virologic suppression of dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC) fixed dose combination (FDC) at Week 48 post-switch from bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF) in participants living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) who are of at least 50 years of age and above.
This study will assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, maintenance of virological suppression and patient reported outcomes for participants receiving CAB and RPV LA injections following SC administration in the anterior abdominal wall SC tissue compared with IM administration in the gluteus medius muscle in adult participants living with HIV-1 infection in the FLAIR study (NCT02938520).
The primary objective of this study is to identify and characterize frailty and pre-frailty in persons age 50 and older living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) followed by the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Infectious Diseases Specialty Clinics (IDSC).
This study collects blood and tissue samples for research of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related cancers. Collecting blood and tissue samples and studying biomarkers in the laboratory may help doctors to learn how are biologic or genetic factors related to HIV and cancers that occur commonly in people living with HIV.
This is a 90-day medication adherence study testing the HiDO is an automated AI-driven direct observation medication adherence platform, which is a 510K-exempt, Class I medical device with 24 people with HIV/AIDS, ages 18 to 55, who are currently taking ART and reporting less than 100% adherence. The aims of the study are to see whether the device can achieve \>95% ART adherence among all participants averaged over 90 days and to perform usability testing using the System Usability Scale and Net Promoter scores.
This project consists of a pilot trial to assess the preliminary impact of a stigma-reduction training to reduce clinic-level stigma and the You℞ Decision prescribing platform to increase HIV care providers' self-efficacy related to prescribing psychiatric medication for depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and bipolar disorder as well as naltrexone for alcohol use disorder (AUD).
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a pneumococcal 21-valent conjugate vaccine (V116) in persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), for the prevention of pneumococcal disease caused by the serotypes in the vaccine.
To demonstrate whether four sessions of TBS improves attentional bias and craving in PLWHA smokers compared to four sessions of sham stimulation. We hypothesize 4 sessions of TBS to the left DLPFC will significantly improve attentional bias and craving for smoking cues compared to neutral cues in a population of subjects who are smokers with HIV/AIDS compared to sham stimulation.
The purpose of the study is to assess the ability to swallow the Darunavir/Cobicistat (DRV/COBI) fixed dosed combination (FDC) tablet dispersed in water.
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) for low-income people with HIV (PWH) is a key resource for reducing HIV health disparities and scaling up evidence-based interventions. As RWHAP serves \>50% of US PWH, RWHAP outcomes are vital to achieving "getting-to-zero"/ Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Plan targets. As a grantee for RWHAP Part A (RWPA) funding distributed to the counties/cities severely affected by HIV, New York City (NYC) conducts regular HIV care continuum monitoring citywide and in its RWPA programs, which offer support services to reduce social and behavioral barriers to care/treatment. Local data consistently show lower viral suppression (VS) among RWPA clients in HIV care than among non-RWPA PWH in HIV care. Relative to NYC HIV cases overall, NYC RWPA clients (\~14,000 per year) over-represent Black and Latinx PWH and high-poverty neighborhoods. To address local outcome disparities and to fill gaps left by data-to-care strategies and research focused on medical care (re-)linkage, the investigators propose to implement and rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of a novel 'data-to-suppression' (D2S) intervention among RWPA behavioral health and housing program clients who are in HIV care but unsuppressed. Surveillance-based reports on unsuppressed clients plus D2S capacity-building assistance will guide RWPA providers in targeting and delivering evidence-informed strategies to improve VS.
The study will use focus group methodology in the formative evaluation phase. Focus group methodology provides a rich source of data and understanding of phenomena by allowing the researcher to examine the interaction among participants
GLACIER (Giving Long Acting CABENUVA in an Infusion center/ASA) is an interventional study examining the administration of CABENUVA (Cabotegravir long acting \[LA\] plus Rilpivirine LA) intramuscular (IM) in infusion centers/ASAs in United States. In this study, the intervention is the process of using an infusion center/ASA as the location to receive the CABENUVA IM injections. The acceptability and feasibility of the IC/ASA to deliver CABENUVA IM injections will be assessed from the perspectives of the participants, HIV care providers and IC/ASA staff. In this study, Month 1 is the Baseline visit. CABENUVA is a registered trademark of ViiV Healthcare.
The objectives of this study are to better understand how FI (food insecurities) contributes to the development of cardiometabolic comorbidities among PWH (People with HIV) and to test a novel bilingual FI intervention designed to reduce these comorbidities among food insecure PWH. The PI and staff will conduct this study in partnership with the Wake Forest Infectious Diseases Specialty Clinic, one of the largest Ryan White-funded clinics in North Carolina, which serves more than 2,000 PWH annually from a predominantly rural catchment area that includes South Central Appalachia. This area has high rates of both FI and HIV.
The pilot study proposal aims to modulate craving and attentional bias towards smoking cues in 40 people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), with functional MRI (fMRI) brain correlates. TMS is a form of noninvasive brain stimulation and modulates neural activity using tiny doses of focused electricity. For the study, participants would perform two cognitive tasks and neuroimaging before and after the TMS and investigators would compare changes in these paradigms with TMS. The investigators will also get a point of contact urine drug screen before study initiation. The investigators will aim to recruit 20 subjects in each arm of our trial (total of 40) from the BlueGrass HIV Clinic.
This study is to evaluate antiviral activity, efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GSK3810109A in HIV-1 infected treatment naive adults. Participants will receive a single dose of GSK3810109A administered either intravenously (IV) or subcutaneously (SC). The study includes a screening phase, a randomized monotherapy phase and a standard of care follow-up phase.
This was an open-label, controlled study, conducted at US sites to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effectiveness of the study drug letermovir in adults with HIV and asymptomatic cytomegalovirus (CMV) who were on antiretroviral therapy (ART)-mediated suppression. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either letermovir once daily or no anti-CMV treatment, for 48 weeks. The primary hypothesis of this study was that letermovir would cause a greater reduction in plasma soluble receptor for tumor necrosis factor type II (sTNFRII) levels than no anti-CMV treatment at weeks 46/48.
This study will evaluate how safe Budigalimab is and how it moves within the body in adult participants with HIV-1 infection. Budigalimab is an investigational drug being evaluated for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Study participants will be assigned to one of the 4 treatment groups and will receive a single dose of Budigalimab or placebo subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous (IV). Around 32 participants 18-65 years of age living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus will be enrolled in the study in approximately 9 sites worldwide. Each participant will receive single dose of SC and IV Budigalimab and/or Placebo on day 1 and will be followed for 24 weeks. Participants will attend weekly to every two and every four weeks visits during the study at a hospital. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests and checking for side effects. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial.
This is a Phase 1a, first in human study in which healthy adult participants who are considered to be at low-risk for HIV infection and are seropositive for cytomegalovirus (CMV) will receive two doses of VIR-1111 or placebo. These participants will be assessed for safety, reactogenicity, tolerability and immunogenicity. There is an optional long-term follow-up study that would lengthen study participation for up to 3 years post-first dose.
Parental illness and death from HIV/AIDS has a profound and lasting impact on a child's psychosocial well-being, potentially challenging the basic needs for survival and compromising the child's future. Therefore, the impact of parental HIV/AIDS on children needs to be treated from both a public health and a developmental perspective. However, to date the role of a resilience-based approach among children affected by HIV is hypothesized but not evidence-based. In this application, we propose to develop a theory-guided, resilience-based, multimodal intervention by culturally adapting and integrating components from three SAMHSA model programs which show strong evidence in promoting protective factors among young children. The multimodal intervention will include three approach levels: the individual child (peer-group activities), the family (caregiver parenting skill training), and the local community (community advocacy). The short, medium, and long-term efficacy of the Child-Caregiver-Advocacy-Resilience \[ChildCARE\] intervention to improve health and psychosocial well-being of children will be evaluated over 36 months through a cluster randomized controlled trial. About 800 HIV/AIDS-affected children (8 to 11 years of age) and their primary caregivers will be recruited from central China where we have built a strong research infrastructure and community collaboration during our previous study. The primary outcome measures for the children will include physical health, mental health, growth and development, school performance, and a biological indicator of neurobiological stress response (salivary cortisol). The outcome measures at caregiver level will include parenting style, parental engagement, and mental health well-being. The changes at the community level will be measured using children's and caregivers' perceptions of social support and HIV-related public stigma. We will also examine the potential mechanism through which the ChildCARE intervention is exerting its impact by identifying improvement in protective factors and other individual and contextual factors that potentially mediate or moderate the intervention effect. This proposed project will examine whether the multilevel protective factors we identified in our initial project are amenable to intervention and whether their hypothesized changes explain improvement in children outcomes.
Human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) is the virus that causes Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HIV infection is considered to be a chronic disease requiring lifelong therapy. This study will evaluate how safe ABBV-382 is and how it is absorbed, distributed and eliminated from the body in adult participants with HIV-1 infection. ABBV-382 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. This study takes place in 2 parts. In Part A, participants with HIV-1 and no history of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) or who are off cART for more than 3 months will be enrolled to receive ABBV-382. In Part B, participants with no virus in their blood and on maintenance cART will be enrolled into one of the intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) groups. In the IV groups, participants will receive either placebo or ABBV-382 whereas participants in the SC group will receive ABBV-382. There is 1 in 3 chance that participants will receive placebo (no drug) in Part B IV groups. The IV group in Part B is double-blinded which means neither the study doctors nor the participants will know who will be given study drug or placebo. Around 52 adult participants with HIV-1 infection will be enrolled at approximately 21 sites across the United States, including Puerto Rico. Participants in Part A will receive an intravenous (IV) dose of ABBV-382 on Day 1. Participants in Part B will receive an IV or SC dose of ABBV-382 or placebo on Days 1, 29 and 57. There may be a higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, and presence of side effects.
This study is designed to assess the antiviral activity and safety of a two-drug regimen of CAB LA + RPV LA compared with maintenance of BIK. BIKTARVY is a registered trademark of Gilead Sciences.
This is a phase 2b, randomized, multicenter, parallel group, partially blind (to GSK3640254 doses \[100, 150 and 200 milligrams {mg}\]), active controlled clinical trial. It aims to investigate the safety, efficacy and dose-response of GSK3640254 compared to dolutegravir (DTG), each given in combination with 2 Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) (abacavir/lamivudine \[ABC/3TC\] or emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide \[FTC/TAF\]).
This is a single-group, open-label, multi-site study in pediatric participants with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, aged 4 weeks to \<12 years and weighing \<45 kg, who are treatment-naive (TN) or have been virologically suppressed (VS) on stable combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) for ≥3 months with no history of treatment failure. The first primary objective is to evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) of doravirine (DOR) \[MK-1439\] when given in combination with 2 nucleoside/nucleotide analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) or as part of the fixed dose combination (FDC) of DOR/lamivudine (3TC)/tenofovir disproxil fumarate (TDF) in participants ≥6 to \<12 years and weighing ≥14 to \<45 kg. The second primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of DOR when given with 2 NRTIs or as part of the FDC of DOR/3TC/TDF, in participants ≥6 to 12 years and weighing ≥14 to \<45 kg, through Week 24.
