Site Trials

Tuberculosis

Active, Not Recruiting

A5384: A Phase II, Randomized, Open-Label Trial of a Six-Month Regimen of High-Dose Rifampicin, High-Dose Isoniazid, Linezolid, and Pyrazinamide versus a Standard Nine-Month Regimen for the Treatment of Adults and Adolescents with Tuberculous Meningitis: Improved Management with Antimicrobial AGents Isoniazid rifampiciN LinEzolid for TBM (IMAGINE-TBM)

Study Description

A5384 is a trial for people who have or might have tuberculous meningitis (TBM). TBM is an infectious disease that causes inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and the spinal cord (meninges). TBM is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which can be found elsewhere in the body, usually the lungs, but can travel via the bloodstream to the meninges, where the bacteria cause TBM.

This trial will compare a new experimental regimen of anti-TBM medicines taken over a 6-month time period with the current standard of care regimen of anti-TBM medicines taken over a 9-month time period.

 

HIV Cure

Closed to accrual

A5354: Effect of Antiretroviral Treatment Initiated During Acute HIV-1 Infection on Measures of HIV-1 Persistence and on HIV-1-Specific Immune Responses

Will evaluate whether starting antiretroviral drugs very early in HIV infection will limit the virus from getting into hidden areas of the body (reservoirs) and change how the immune system helps to control the virus.

This study will include people who have very recently been infected with HIV and will start anti-HIV (antiretroviral) drugs right away to see how this may change HIV’s impact on the body.

HIV (and comorbidities)

Open and enrolling

A5243: Non-US Genomic Sampling

Collecting blood and saliva samples from former and current ACTG study participants for future HIV-related genetic testing.

This is a study to collect blood and saliva samples from former and current participants in AIDS Clinical Trial Group (ACTG) studies at non-U.S. sites.

HIV (and comorbidities)

Closed to accrual

A5332: REPRIEVE Trial

In this study, people between the ages of 40 and 75 with HIV will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to take the pill pitavastatin OR a placebo (non-active pill) to see if pitavastatin can help prevent heart disease and death in people who are taking HIV medication. You will not know if you are taking pitavastatin or placebo. The REPRIEVE trial will enroll about 7500 people from several countries.

Hepatitis

Closed to accrual

A5379: B-Enhancement of HBV vaccination in persons living with HIV (BEe-HIVe): Evaluation of HEPLISAV-B

A5379 is a study looking at hepatitis B vaccination in adults living with HIV. Hepatitis B is a serious viral infection that affects the liver and is transmitted through blood and body fluids. The study will involve individuals who have received a previous hepatitis B vaccination but the vaccine did not respond well and individuals who have never received the vaccination. The study will take place both in the US and internationally. The study will compare how well an individual responds to the vaccine in different groups based on the type of vaccine and number of doses.

Mpox

Open and enrolling

A5418:Study of Tecovirimat for Human Monkeypox Virus (STOMP)

A5418 (STOMP) is a study of tecovirimat (also known as TPOXX) for the treatment of human monkeypox virus (HMPXV) disease.
