4,978 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Investigators are trying to find better treatments for people with HIV-1. In this clinical study, investigators want to see how well a new treatment called ISL+ULO, taken once a week, works compared to an existing treatment called BIC/FTC/TAF, which is taken every day. Investigators will check how many people still have a high level of the virus in their blood after 24 weeks. The investigators also want to understand if the new treatment, MK-8591B, is safe and how well people can handle it.
Although there have been advances in antiretroviral treatment (ART) for HIV, adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AHIV) continue to have disparate HIV outcomes particularly viral suppression (VS), when compared to other populations likely related to multi-layered challenges (social determinants, cognitive development), system, and biomedical challenges including the reliance on oral ART as the only choice for HIV treatment. Given that approximately 1/3 of AHIV despite being in care fail to attain or sustain VS with resultant individual and public health risk, there is a need to develop real-world implementable interventions that can improve the participants virologic outcomes. The Strategies to AchieVe Viral Suppression for Youth with HIV (SAVVY) Study aims to 1) optimize personal ART choice by using the HIV-ASSIST clinical program to inform CHOICE counseling regarding an AHIV's preferred approach, including the possibility of long-acting injectable ART (LAI-ART); 2) facilitate access to the participants preferred choice through deploying a focused team to navigate barriers to attaining LAI-ART; and 3) decipher and address the patient, provider, and systemic barriers to the uptake and routinization of LAI-ART among AHIV by applying an implementation science framework and assessing cost-effectiveness providing critical data to support comprehensive approaches to optimizing ART and VS for AHIV, a key population identified in the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States Initiative.

The purpose of this study is to investigate safety and tolerability following single ascending subcutaneous (SC) and intramuscular (IM) doses of VH4011499 in participants without HIV. The study will also describe the pharmacokinetics following single ascending SC and IM doses of VH4011499 in participants without HIV.
This study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose administration of VH4527079 by subcutaneous (SC) injection or by intravenous (IV) infusion in healthy adult participants and multiple dose administration by IV infusion in healthy adult participants and in Persons with HIV (PWH).
The study evaluates if there is relationship between the kinds of bacteria living in the anus (also known as the anal microbiome) and the risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection or HPV-related pre-cancer (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions or HSIL) in Hispanic people living with HIV (PLWH) in Puerto Rico, Mexico and California
This is a phase 2, open-label study to assess the immunogenicity of the 9-valent human papillomavirus (HPV) recombinant vaccine (Gardasil9) in people born male with current or past exposure to androgen blockers or estrogen (BM-EABE). Investigators will enroll BM-EABE with HIV and HIV negative controls (BM-EABE or men who have sex with a person with a penis (MSPP)) and administer Gardasil9 at timepoints Day 0, Month 2, and Month 6. The immune response to the vaccine will be analyzed at Month 7 (1 month following the final vaccine dose).
This study's long-term goal is to improve clinical outcomes among smokers living with HIV (SLWH) by providing smoking cessation interventions in HIV clinical care that will increase the chances of quitting smoking, limits costs and burden on staff and reach many smokers living with HIV.
This is a study of HB-502 and HB-501 alternating 2-vector therapy in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who are taking antiretroviral treatment (ART). The benefits of available ART are short-lived and eventually there is a return of rapid HIV replication and higher viral copy number after a period of initial improvement of infection. The study treatment made of HB-502 and HB-501 is designed to train the body to recognize and fight parts from substances found in HIV. This trial studies the safety, tolerability, and ability of HB-502 and HB-501 to stimulate an immune response against HIV in people living with HIV. Participants will receive the study treatment by injection into the muscle every 8 weeks for a duration of 24 weeks, which is followed by another 24 weeks to continue looking closely at the safety profile and anti-HIV immune reaction after the last dose of study treatment.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance, usability, and result interpretation of the INSTI® HIV Self-Test (referred to INSTI® HIV ST) in the intended use population across the United States (US). The INSTI® HIV Self-Test is a single use in vitro test that is used as a self-test for the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 in human fingerstick blood. This study is designed to evaluate INSTI® HIV ST performance in the hands of non-professionals and untrained lay users who are inexperienced in HIV blood-based self-testing. The study aims to: To evaluate the clinical performance (i.e., diagnostic sensitivity and specificity) of the INSTI® HIV Self-Test in a lay user population. To assess the user's comprehension of the INSTI® HIV ST results (e.g., interpreting positive, negative, and invalid results). To evaluate the usability of the INSTI® HIV ST and understand users' experience in performing the test.
The goal of this study is to test the maximum tolerated dose of ACU-D1 in HIV-positive people with HPV-associated vulvar and perianal lesions. The main questions it aims to answer are: * The maximum tolerated dose of ACU-D1 * Safety and tolerability of topical ACU-D1 * Whether topical ACU-D1 induces p53 and p53-mediated downstream signaling (including p21 induction) in HPV-related lesions * Whether topical ACU-D1 enhances markers of immunity in HPV-infected HIV-positive individuals Participants will be asked * To apply ACU-D1 on the lesions twice daily for 4 weeks * 3 biopsies will be performed at the screening and 3 at the end of 4 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, ability of VH4524184 when given alone to reduce the amount of HIV (viral load) in people with HIV-1 infection who have never received antiretroviral therapy (treatment-naïve). Data from this study will be used to decide how VH4524184 can be best included in a full-treatment regimen for HIV-1 in the future.
The study will evaluate 300 people living with HIV that attend the Vivent Clinic for HIV care. We will characterize our population and include age, race/ethnicity, sex at birth, tobacco use, alcohol use, other comorbidities, HPV vaccination status, other HPV disease, and lab values such as CD4 count and HIV viral load. We will compare results between participants who are HPV positive and negative. We will also evaluate the relationship between HPV oral infections and lesions and the variables above to better understand possible predictors of HPV infections and lesions.
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) has been associated with high prevalence of inflammation-associated co-morbidities in people living with HIV even those receiving effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). Our preliminary data support a model in which the combined insult of AUD and HIV on the gut, specifically on the microbiota and intestinal barrier integrity, exacerbates inflammation. Our preliminary data using intestinal organoids also suggest a potential mechanism for AUD-mediated changes in the gut barrier function during HIV; the intestines of HIV+ individuals have low resilience to alcohol induced intestinal barrier disruption caused by high levels of oxidative stress. Finally, our preliminary data also suggest a potential approach to enhance the integrity of the intestinal barrier and reduce gut derived inflammation in people living with HIV with/without AUD- short chain fatty acid prebiotics. These prebiotics prevent alcohol mediated adverse effects on the intestinal barrier and inflammation by preventing oxidative stress. These prebiotics are safe and decrease gut inflammation in humans. 20 HIV+ ART+ (10 AUD- and 10 AUD +), will be recruited for a prebiotic intervention. This is a proof-of-concept observational study to establish a causal link between microbiota-gut and HIV pathology during ART by asking whether modifying microbiota and gut milieu impacts intestinal barrier function, systemic inflammation, and brain pathology in HIV+ people. Participants will have two study visits, where stool collection and blood draw will be collected, as well as questionnaires. These participants are part of the larger observation study (n=160), which will test the hypothesis that intestines from HIV+ individuals have lower resilience to alcohol mediated gut barrier disruption than intestines from HIV-negative controls. We will recruit the following groups of participants: HIV+ ART+ AUD-; HIV+ ART+ AUD+; HIV- AUD- ; HIV- AUD+. Blood, urine, stool, and intestinal biopsies will be collected from participants to compare intestinal barrier integrity, system and gut inflammation, immune activation, oxidative stress, microbiome/metabolome. and HIV reservois. Second, lleal/colonic organoids from HIV- and HIV ART+ individuals will be generated to examine their resilience to alcohol-induced intestinal barrier disruption.
Persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have higher risk of developing fatty liver disease (NAFLD) than HIV-negative persons but the reasons for this discrepancy are not known. Changes in the intestinal microbiome may contribute to the development of NAFLD in persons with HIV (PWH) through impairment of barrier function of the intestinal wall and by producing metabolites that are harmful to the liver. This project will test the hypothesis that HIV-related NAFLD is associated with differences in the intestinal microbiome and that supplementation with probiotic and prebiotic fiber will lead to improvements in markers of NAFLD in PWH.
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 one-year study that seeks to evaluate perspectives of combined injectable treatment for HIV and OUD. Specifically, with the development of new long-acting medications such as cabotegravir co-administered with rilpivirine (CAB/RPV) and extended-release buprenorphine (XR-B) there is a need to better understand factors that influence the delivery and uptake of this type of treatment. Therefore, this study will conduct qualitative (1:1) interviews with 32-45 key stakeholders to assess interest, knowledge, attitudes, barriers, and facilitators to integrated injectable treatment. Our team will utilize qualitative findings to inform clinical strategies to promote uptake and maintenance of long-acting injectable medications for HIV and OUD.
A major impediment to emergency department (ED)-based HIV/HCV screening success is that often ED patients at risk for, or later diagnosed with, HIV and HCV decline testing. In this R01 project, the research team will assess how well a promising, easy-to-use, one-time, minimal-training-needed, very brief persuasive health communication intervention (PHCI) increases acceptance of testing among adult ED patients who either currently, formerly or never injected drugs and initially declined HIV/HCV screening. The research team will conduct a randomized, controlled trial (RCT) at EDs within the Mount Sinai Health System to compare the efficacy of the PHCI when delivered by a video vs. an HIV/HCV counselor. Patients who initially declined HIV/HCV screening will be stratified by injection-drug use (IDU) history cohorts: (1) current/former PWIDs, (2) never/non-PWIDs. Within each IDU history cohort, the research team will randomly assign participants (1:1:1) to a PHCI delivered by: (1) a video with captions, (2) a video without captions, (3) an HIV/HCV counselor. This R01 project will be conducted at Mount Sinai affiliate hospitals EDs. For Aim 2, the research team will determine if screening acceptance is similar across IDU history cohorts. For Aim 3, the research team will further compare the two delivery forms of the PHCI through a health economics assessment, both independent of IDU history and within each IDU history cohort.
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 sub-study will assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability, virologic efficacy and health outcomes of CAB (GSK1265744) and RPV long acting (LA) in HIV-infected adult participants currently enrolled in the Antiretroviral Therapy as Long Acting Suppression every 2 Months (ATLAS2M \[A2M\]) study (NCT03299049).
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).
The purpose of this 10-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to determine whether inflammation impacts reward and motor neural circuitry to contribute to depressive symptoms like anhedonia and psychomotor slowing in people with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and depression. Sixty male and female patients with HIV who have depression, anhedonia and high inflammation and are stable on effective treatment for their HIV will be randomized to receive either the anti-inflammatory drug baricitinib or a placebo for 10 weeks. Participants will complete lab tests, medical and psychiatric assessments, neurocognitive testing, functional MRI (fMRI) scans, and optional spinal taps as part of the study.
This study is an observational, cohort, prospective study looking at the frequency of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) 1 and or 2 outbreaks in HIV positive patients who's HIV virus is controlled on highly active anti-retroviral therapy. We will be enrolling fifty (50) patients.
The goal of this research study is to test an intervention to help quit tobacco use in participants with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The study interventions used in this research study are: * Positively Smoke Free - Mobile (PSF-M) (mobile behavioral program) * Varenicline (or Chantix, apovarenicline, Champix or Nocrav)
