Effectiveness

How Lexiva Affects PatientsFosamprenavir is a drug that breaks down into the anti-HIV medication amprenavir. The breakdown of fosamprenavir helps to slowly release amprenavir, which reduces the amount of pills a patient needs to take.
How Lexiva works in the bodyFosamprenavir is a drug that helps fight HIV. It is converted by the body into amprenavir, which stops the virus from replicating. It does this by blocking a protein that the virus needs to process its genetic material. Without this protein, the virus cannot create mature, infectious particles.

MucoCept-CVN for HIV Prevention

18 - 45
Female
San Francisco, CA
MucoCept-CVN uses a Lactobacillus strain native to the human vagina that is modified into a live biotherapeutic product (LBP) that continuously expresses a potent anti-HIV drug. If research shows that MucoCept-CVN is safe and effective, it could become a self-renewing, female-initiated prevention product for women that promotes vaginal health and provides protection from HIV. The goal of this first-in-human Phase 1 dose-ranging, randomized, placebo-controlled study of MucoCept-CVN is to collect data on safety, colonization, changes to the vaginal microbiota and clearance of the strain with antibiotics. Twelve healthy women will be enrolled and take either one or three doses of MucoCept-CVN or placebo, and a week later will receive antibiotics to clear the Lactobacillus strain. If research shows that MucoCept-CVN is safe and effective, it could become a self-renewing, long-acting, female-initiated prevention product for women that promotes vaginal health and provides protection from HIV.

SGLT2 Inhibitors for Metabolic Diseases

45 - 75
Female
Boston, MA
Women with HIV have an increased risk of having a myocardial infarction (heart attack) as compared to women without HIV. One of the mechanisms underlying the increased risk of myocardial infarction among women with HIV may involve reduced ability to increase blood flow through large and small coronary arteries at times when increased flow of oxygen-carrying blood is needed. We are conducting a study randomizing women with HIV and either diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or both to health education alone or to health education plus referral to see either an Endocrinologist or a Nephrologist in a subspecialty clinic for consideration of treatment with medication in a class known as sodium glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. SGLT2 inhibitors are clinically approved for use in patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease but have been shown to be underutilized in people with HIV. One of our key analytic aims will be to test if SGLT2 inhibitor therapy results in improved blood flow through the large and small coronary arteries among women with HIV and either diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or both but who have no history of myocardial infarction. A second aim will be to test if subspecialty clinic referral (with or without SGLT2 inhibitor therapy prescription) results in improved blood flow through the large and small coronary arteries among the same group.

GS-1720 + GS-4182 for HIV

18+
All Sexes
West Hollywood, CA
The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the experimental drugs GS-1720 (an oral, long-acting integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)) and GS-4182 (a prodrug of Lenacapavir (LEN)); to compare the combination of GS-1720 and GS-4182 with the current standard-of-care treatment bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) (Biktarvy), to see if the combination of GS-1720 and GS-4182 is safe and if it works for treating human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in treatment-naive people with HIV-1 (PWH). This study has two phases: Phase 2 and Phase 3. The primary objectives of this study are: Phase 2: To evaluate the efficacy of oral weekly GS-1720 coadministered with GS-4182 versus continuing Biktarvy (BVY) in treatment-naive PWH at Week 24. Phase 3: To evaluate the efficacy of oral weekly GS-1720/GS-4182 fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet regimen versus continuing BVY in treatment-naive PWH at Week 48.

DOVATO for HIV

18+
All Sexes
Regina, Canada
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of Dolutegravir/Lamivudine (DTG/3TC), or "Dovato", in virally-suppressed (HIV-1 RNA \< 200 copies/mL) individuals receiving opioid agonist therapy such as methadone, buprenorphine, slow-release morphine, after switching from their current suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART). The main questions this trial seeks to answer are: 1. whether people living with HIV-1 (PLWH) on opioid agonist therapy (OAT) remain virally suppressed after switching to DTG/3TC from their current suppressive ART 48 weeks post-switch; 2. the number and type of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) attributable to DTG/3TC as documented per standard process at each study visit, and any discontinuations of DTG/3TC due to AEs and SAEs as determined by the study investigator; 3. the number of dosing changes in OAT attributable to DTG/3TC as determined by the study investigator and documented as per standard progress at each study visit; 4. the number of persons with any recreational or non-prescribed substances in their urine drug screens who remain virally suppressed (HIV-1 RNA \< 200 copies/mL) at 48 weeks post-switch from current suppressive ART to DTG/3TC; 5. any change from baseline values (i.e., day 0) to 48 weeks post-switch from current suppressive ART to DTG/3TC of serum creatinine and non-fasting lipid parameters; 6. any change from baseline value (i.e., day 0) to 48 weeks post-switch from current suppressive ART to DTG/3TC in HIV Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (Status) (HIVTSQs) scores; 7. the number of persons who remain virally suppressed (HIV RNA \< 200 copies/mL) at 48 weeks post-switch from current suppressive ART to DTG/3TC in conjunction with differing levels of adherence to DTG/3TC, and; 8. the number of persons who experience symptoms of opioid withdrawal or overdose per standardized survey or by self-report (e.g., overdose events) During the course of the study, participants will complete: * A set of questionnaires * Blood draws * A review of adverse events and concomitant medications * ECG scans at screening and 48 weeks * Urine drug screening * Physical exams * Review of alcohol consumption

Tesamorelin + Exercise for HIV

50 - 80
All Sexes
Aurora, CO
People with HIV experience earlier impairments in physical function compared to people in the general population. They also exhibit an earlier presentation and more rapid development of frailty, a multisystemic syndrome of aging characterized by reduced activity, fatigue, slowness, weakness, and weight loss. While exercise can improve physical function in people with HIV, it is less effective in doing so than in the general population and is difficult to sustain in the long-term. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether the medication tesamorelin will improve physical function and muscle health in adults with HIV when combined with exercise. Tesamorelin is a growth hormone-releasing hormone analogue that is FDA-approved to treat abdominal fat accumulation in people with HIV. While tesamorelin has also been shown to increase muscle mass and improve measures of muscle health, its effects on physical performance and muscle strength have not yet been evaluated. During a 24-week intervention phase, half of participants will be randomly assigned to receive tesamorelin and half of participants will be randomly assigned to receive placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug). All participants also will engage in a home-based exercise intervention supervised by an exercise coach. During a subsequent 24-week extension phase, individuals will be monitored off study drug and supervised exercise, and be encouraged to continue to exercise independently. The investigators will investigate effects of tesamorelin on physical function, muscle mass and quality, quality of life, and exercise adherence and self-efficacy. They also will evaluate whether effects of tesamorelin are maintained following treatment cessation. This study may identify an important strategy to improve how individuals aging with HIV function and feel with potential applications to other patient populations.
