Treatment Summary

Elvitegravir is a medication used to treat HIV-1 infections in adults who have already tried other antiretroviral treatments. It works by stopping the virus from replicating and spreading. Elvitegravir must be taken in combination with other medications, including an HIV protease inhibitor, ritonavir, and another antiretroviral drug. It was first licensed in 2008 and approved by the FDA in 2012. In 2014, the single pill form of elvitegravir was approved.

How Genvoya works in the body

Elvitegravir is an anti-HIV drug that stops the virus from replicating. It does this by blocking the enzyme called integrase, which is needed for HIV-1 to spread. Elvitegravir does not affect the host's own topoisomerases, which are enzymes involved in DNA regulation.

I just took my first pill an hour and a half ago. I'm feeling a little tingling in my tongue and cheeks got red, sort of like when someone rubs them. I don't know yet how effective this pill is going to be.

Genvoya for Prevention of HIV Infection after Exposure

I feel like I can't get any good advice on which treatments will work best for me. I was on an old HIV treatment that had been working well for me for 20 years, but the drugs became temporarily unavailable. I was then advised to switch to Genvoya, and started having all kinds of bothersome side effects: fat distribution in my midsection, dryness in my mouth, wake up choking due to lack of moisture, difficulty sleeping.

IAP086 for HIV

18 - 70
All Sexes
Chapel Hill, NC

Purpose: To assess the safety and tolerability of a single dose of IAP086 in persons with HIV suppressed on stable ART Participants: 30 people from UNC within 18 to 70years of age. People with HIV on ART with plasma HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL for 12 months prior to screening. Procedures (methods): The participant's standard of care ART regimen is continued throughout the study period. This study requires an overnight stay in a research unit. During the overnight stay, participants will receive a single infusion (medicine given slowly through a vein in their arm) of IAP086 and be monitored for 24 hours. Each later participant receives IAP086 at the same or a higher dose decided in advance. The dose will increase as more participants receive IAP086 without concerning side effects. Study visits also occur 2, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after the study drug is given. Study procedures include review of the medical history, physical exams, and blood draws.

Methamphetamine for HIV

18 - 65
All Sexes
San Francisco, CA

The most commonly used illicit stimulant in people with HIV (PWH) is methamphetamine (MA). Prior studies demonstrate strong evidence that MA promotes increased HIV transcription as well as immune dysregulation. A challenge in achieving worldwide HIV eradication is targeting specific marginalized populations who are most likely to benefit from an HIV cure but possess poorer immune responses. For this study, N = \~20 PWH virally-suppressed on antiretroviral therapy (ART) with no prior history of MA use disorder will be administered oral methamphetamine to determine the effects of short-term MA exposure on residual virus production, gene expression, and inflammation. Measures of MA exposure in urine and serum will then be associated with residual virus production, gene expression, cell surface immune marker protein expression, and systemic markers of inflammation. Thus, the proposed work will leverage a unique clinical trial design to generate advanced gene expression and immunologic data to identify potential novel targets for reversing HIV latency, reducing inflammation, and personalizing future therapies in PWH who use MA.

Bictegravir + Emtricitabine + Tenofovir Alafenamide for HIV

18+
All Sexes
Clearwater, FL

Managing HIV well requires taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) every day, but many people living with HIV experience interruptions in their treatment. These pauses in medication can happen for many reasons, such as side effects, challenges with getting to the clinic, personal circumstances, stigma, or difficulties with everyday life. When HIV treatment is stopped, the viral load can increase, which may affect a person's health and make it easier for HIV to be passed on to others. Restarting treatment quickly after an interruption is important for both personal and public health. However, it can be difficult for people who miss doses to get back on treatment right away. There are often several steps and medical appointments required before restarting, such as waiting for lab results or reviewing medical history, which can cause further delays. These additional steps can make it even harder for people to re-engage and may discourage them from returning to care. The REINITIATE study is designed for people living with HIV who have not taken any antiretroviral medications for at least the last 12 weeks. The study will offer participants a way to restart their HIV therapy quickly, by beginning treatment with B/F/TAF on the same day that they return to care. B/F/TAF is a widely used, once-daily HIV regimen, and is recommended in national treatment guidelines. Researchers want to find out if this rapid restart approach is safe and effective, and whether it helps people regain control of HIV and remain in care. The study will also examine how many participants are able to keep the virus at a low level (viral suppression), stay engaged in their HIV care, and tolerate the medication after rapidly restarting treatment. In addition, the study will include interviews with some participants, to gain a better understanding of why they stopped taking their medications and what supported their return to treatment. These insights could help healthcare teams develop better ways to support people living with HIV in the future.

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.
