Treatment Summary

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, sold under the brand name Viread, is a medicine used to treat HIV and hepatitis B. It works by interfering with the reproduction of the virus in the body. This drug belongs to a family of antiretroviral medications known as nucleotide analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (nRTIs). Tenofovir disoproxil was first approved by the FDA in 2001.

Effectiveness

How Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Affects Patients

Tenofovir is a drug used to treat HIV-1 and Hepatitis B infections. In laboratory tests, the drug has been shown to be effective against HIV-1 with a 50% effective concentration (EC50) of 0.04 - 8.5 μM. Tenofovir works by preventing viral DNA chain elongation, which stops the virus from replicating. Tenofovir has also been found to have a synergistic effect when taken with other drugs such as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and protease inhibitors.

How Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate works in the body

Tenofovir is an antiretroviral drug, which works by blocking the enzyme that helps HIV-infected individuals replicate their virus. Tenofovir is first converted to its active form, and then to its active metabolite, tenofovir diphosphate, which stops the virus from replicating by blocking its natural deoxyribonucleotide substrate. In rare cases, HIV-1 isolates can develop a decreased susceptibility to tenofovir, due to a mutation known as K65R.

Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Toxicity & Overdose Risk

Breastfeeding: HIV-1-infected mothers should not breastfeed their infants to prevent postnatal transmission of HIV-1. If a mother is taking tenofovir disoproxil, she should not breastfeed her infant. Carcinogenesis: Long-term studies in mice and rats have found that tenofovir disoproxil fumarate can increase the risk of liver cancer in mice, but no such risk was found in rats.

AI-DBT for Suicide Prevention in HIV/AIDS

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.

This project will explore the development of a personalized decision support tool to assist with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) initiation and persistence among patients identified in the emergency department (ED) and urgent care settings as PrEP eligible. First, the investigators will use a sequence of validated implementation science methodologies to develop and validate a decision support tool designed to optimize PrEP persistence by strengthening self-efficacy by addressing the multifaceted medical and social needs of the individual patient. The investigators will then test the preliminary effectiveness of this tool through a pilot stepped wedge implementation trial in two EDs and an urgent care in Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC among 120 PrEP eligible patients to determine PrEP initiation, linkage to care, persistence, and adherence rates.

All Sexes
Birmingham, AL

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of a telephone-delivered Brief Behavioral Treatment Insomnia (BBTI) versus a Brief Mindfulness Treatment (BMT) on cognitive and sleep outcomes in older adults with HIV. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the effects of BBTI vs BMT on self-reported and observed sleep outcomes in older adults with HIV and insomnia up to 1-year post-intervention? What are the effects of BBTI vs BMT on self-reported and observed cognitive comes in older adults with HIV and insomnia up to 1-year post-intervention? What is the association between Alzheimer's Disease biomarkers and sleep and cognitive outcomes in older adults with HIV receiving BBTI vs BMT? Participants will: * Complete 4 weeks of telephone-delivered BBTI or BMT * Attend baseline, post-intervention, and 1-year post in-person visits for sleep and cognitive assessments * Have blood collected at all three time points

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.

MGD020 + MGD014 for HIV

All Sexes
Chapel Hill, NC

This research study aims to find out how safe and well tolerated the experimental study drugs are when given to persons with HIV (PWH) taking antiretroviral therapy (ART). The study treatments are MGD014 and MGD020, which are two antibodies developed specifically for HIV, and Vorinostat, an oral medication to help expose HIV in cells to the antibodies. The study will measure the impact of study treatment on non-active HIV in cells, and how long MGD014 and MGD020 stay in the body after they are given. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. All participants receive MGD014 and MGD020, given sequentially as infusions through an IV for 4 doses. Participants in one group (group A) receive only MGD014 and MGD020. Participants in another group (group B) will stop taking their ART therapy for up to 8 weeks (a temporary treatment interruption (TTI)) while receiving MGD014 and MGD020. Participants in the third group (group C) receive Vorinostat in addition to MGD014 and MGD020. Total time of participation is about 8 months and involves 13 or 18 visits, depending on group assignment.
