Study Summary
This trial studies how a common HIV drug affects how the body uses energy. Healthy adults aged 18-55 can take part. Tests include measuring oxygen intake, X-rays, and laser scans.
Who is the study for?
Healthy individuals aged 18 to 55 who can consent and stay in a clinic for two periods of 11 days. They shouldn't have asthma, COPD, HIV, hepatitis A/B/C, extreme weight changes recently or be athletes. No cancer (except certain skin cancers), diabetes, thyroid issues, glaucoma, psychological conditions like claustrophobia or depression that affect participation safety. Not for pregnant/post-partum women or those with high blood pressure, anemia, drug/alcohol abuse history within five years.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how the HIV medication dolutegravir affects body energy use compared to tenofovir alafenamide. Participants will take one drug for eight days during each clinic stay and undergo tests including room calorimetry measuring oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output six times; DEXA scans for body fat and bone density; plus other assessments of body composition.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed but may include reactions related to metabolic changes due to the medications being tested. Since these drugs are generally used in treating HIV/AIDS patients rather than healthy volunteers as in this study context, specific side effects experienced by participants could differ from typical patient profiles.

"According to the clinicaltrials.gov portal, this specific medical investigation is no longer searching for individuals at this moment in time. The trial was initially uploaded on December 20th 2022 and has not been modified since then. Luckily, there are 303 other trials seeking volunteers currently available."
Answered by AI
Are there any potential dangers associated with Tenofovir alafenamide treatments?
"With Phase 2 clinical trials providing evidence of safety, Tenofovir alafenamide is estimated to have a score of 2 in terms of its risk-factor. Unfortunately, no data has been collected with regards to efficacy yet."
Answered by AI
Who is qualified to participate in this research study?
"This medical trial needs to enlist 120 age-eligible patients with weight gain. To be considered, participants must agree to the following: being between 18 and 55 years old, providing informed consent, remaining in the calorimetry suite on 6 occasions, living at a clinical centre for two 10 day stretches over 5 weeks time period, and allowing samples and data be used for future research."
