Study Summary

This trial will study whether earlier ART treatment can help HIV-infected infants achieve remission.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for HIV-infected infants born to mothers with confirmed or presumed HIV. Infants must be less than 48 hours old, at least 36 weeks gestational age, weigh over 2 kg, and able to take oral medication. Mothers should not have received antiretrovirals during pregnancy but may have during labor.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests early intensive antiretroviral therapy (ART) in newborns using drugs like Nevirapine, Lopinavir/Ritonavir, Raltegravir, VRC01 and NRTIs to see if it can induce HIV remission—meaning the virus becomes undetectable by standard tests.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from ART medications include digestive issues, rash or allergic reactions, liver problems and changes in blood sugar or fat levels. In infants specifically, close monitoring is needed due to their developing organs.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is the recruitment stage of this experiment ongoing?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov indicates that this trial, which was initially published on January 23rd 2015, is still recruiting participants. Approximately 905 people are required to be recruited from 15 separate sites."

Answered by AI

What pathologies are Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) typically employed to address?

"NRTIs, or Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors, is typically used to prevent occupational exposure to HIV. It also has applications in treating sars-cov-2 positive patients and mild to moderate cases of COVID-19 as well as chronic hepatitis c genotype 1a."

Answered by AI

What additional research has been conducted on Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs)?

"The first studies on nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) were conducted at University of Zurich in 2002. Subsequently, there have been 731 completed trials and currently 17 active experiments are running; many taking place within Los Angeles County."

Answered by AI
