Effectiveness

How Delstrigo Affects Patients

Tenofovir is used to treat HIV-1 and Hepatitis B infections by preventing the virus from making copies of itself. Laboratory tests have shown that it is effective against HIV-1 at concentrations between 0.04 μM to 8.5 μM. Tenofovir has been found to work well in combination with other drugs used to treat HIV-1, such as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, as well as protease inhibitors. Clinical studies have also confirmed that it can effectively fight HIV-1 in cell cultures.

How Delstrigo works in the body

Tenofovir is an antiretroviral medicine used to reduce the amount of HIV in the body. It works by blocking a special enzyme that HIV needs to reproduce. When this enzyme is blocked, the virus can't make as many copies of itself. Tenofovir is absorbed and converted to its active form which is a type of chemical called a nucleotide analog. This chemical then binds to the HIV enzyme and stops it from working. It also prevents the virus from making DNA. In some cases, HIV can become resistant to tenofovir, meaning that it is not as effective at stopping the virus from reproducing

Delstrigo Toxicity & Overdose Risk

When it comes to breastfeeding, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that mothers with HIV-1 not breastfeed their infants to prevent transmission. Mothers should not breastfeed if they are taking tenofovir disoproxil. There have been no studies done on pregnant women taking tenofovir disoproxil, but studies done on rats and rabbits showed no signs of harm to the fetus at doses up to 14 and 19 times the recommended human dose. To monitor the effects of this drug on pregnant women, a registry has been created for healthcare providers to register patients. Tenofov

Antibodies for HIV

18 - 55
All Sexes
Birmingham, AL

This study is testing a lab-made antibody called ePGT121v1-LS that targets a specific part of HIV. Researchers will give it by vein (IV) and under the skin (SC), both on its own and together with two other antibodies, VRC07-523LS and PGDM1400LS, which target different parts of the virus. They will assess safety and side effects, determine the right dose, study how the body processes the drug (pharmacokinetics or PK), and measure how well it neutralizes HIV in the blood (serum neutralizing activity). The expectation is that ePGT121v1-LS, whether given alone or with PGDM1400LS and VRC07-523LS, by IV or SC, will be safe in generally healthy adults and that the antibodies will not interfere with each other when used together. Approximately 83 volunteers in overall good health and without HIV-1 will be enrolled into two parts (A and B). Part A has six groups. In Groups 1-3, participants will get ePGT121v1-LS given by IV at one of three dose levels: 5 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg, or 40 mg/kg. In Groups 4-6, participants will receive three antibodies-first ePGT121v1-LS, then PGDM1400LS and VRC07-523LS-given by IV at two separate visits that are 24 weeks apart. The total study duration for participants in Part A is 48 weeks of scheduled clinic visits. Part B has two groups. In Group 7, people will get ePGT121v1-LS as SC shots at two visits 12 weeks apart. Each visit will give a total of 375 mg, split into three injections of 125 mg each. In Group 8, people will also have two visits 12 weeks apart and will receive three antibodies as SC shots in this order: first ePGT121v1-LS (125 mg), then PGDM1400LS (100 mg), and then VRC07-523LS (100 mg). The total study duration for participants in Part B is 24 weeks of scheduled clinic visits.

AI-DBT for Suicide Prevention in HIV/AIDS

18+
All Sexes
Newark, NJ

One in four older persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) report at least one suicide attempt in their lifetime, and the risk for death by suicide is 100 times higher in PLWHA than in the general population. Currently, there are no behavioral interventions that specifically address suicide prevention for older PLWHA, despite their unique biopsychosocial and structural risk factors. Through this work, investigators will adapt Dialectical Behavior Therapy, an evidence-based intervention for suicide prevention, for patients with PLWHA to be delivered by an AI-powered conversational Agent developed by our industry partner, Empower Health. Investigators will then pilot test the feasibility, usability, acceptability and preliminary efficacy to improve self-efficacy to manage negative emotions in n=50 older adults living with HIV/AIDS.

Islatravir + Ulonivirine for HIV

18+
All Sexes
Ft. Pierce, FL

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1). The usual (standard) treatment for HIV-1 is antiretroviral therapy (ART), which includes taking medicines to lower the amount of HIV-1 in the body. Standard ART helps people live longer, but people must take up to 3 medicines up to twice a day. Standard ART may also cause other health problems. Researchers want to know if a study ART works as well as a standard ART to treat HIV-1. The study ART combines 2 medicines, islatravir and ulonivirine, and is taken once a week. The goals of this study are to learn: 1) If the study ART works as well as a standard ART to treat HIV-1, and 2) About the safety of the study ART and if people tolerate it compared to a standard ART.

Decision Support Tool for HIV Treatment

18+
All Sexes
Los Angeles, CA

This study is testing software designed to help healthcare providers choose the best HIV treatment combinations for their patients. HIV medicines, known as antiretroviral therapy (ART), can be complex to manage because the right regimen depends on many factors-such as drug resistance, other health conditions, and medication schedules. Many people with HIV are cared for by general clinicians who may not have access to HIV specialists, which can make treatment decisions more challenging. In this study, healthcare providers will use patient cases to compare standard HIV treatment resources with a new clinical decision support tool that gives evidence-based ART recommendations at the point of care. The investigators hypothesize that using the tool will help providers select treatment plans that better match clinical guidelines, make decisions faster, reduce mental effort, and increase overall satisfaction with the prescribing process.
