Safety of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) in HIV Infected Pregnant Women and Their Infants Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for qualified health advice, trips or treatment by using a genuine doctor. We aren't doctors. Always consult your mD on Safety of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) in HIV Infected Pregnant Women and Their Infants conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Safety of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) in HIV Infected Pregnant Women and Their Infants Clinical research trials and Safety of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) in HIV Infected Pregnant Women and Their Infants health trials take place in a lot of of cities across the US. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the potency of new drugs. The aim of the studies / projects is to answer specific human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for physicians, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all kinds of circumstances, like Safety of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) in HIV Infected Pregnant Women and Their Infants. Safety of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) in HIV Infected Pregnant Women and Their Infants Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to have health treatment alternatives before they are available to the general public. Many times the test subjects obtain treatment for without cost, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Safety of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) in HIV Infected Pregnant Women and Their Infants clinical trial. Subjects oftentimes recieve the most effective healthcare possible for their Safety of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) in HIV Infected Pregnant Women and Their Infants condition. Hazards are a reality, however, and could include additional or frequent doctor visits, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-threatening), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with exacting guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Safety of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) in HIV Infected Pregnant Women and Their Infants



Safety of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) in HIV Infected Pregnant Women and Their Infants

For Condition: HIV Infections
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) , National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)
Synopsis: Most infants infected with HIV through mother-to-child transmission (MTCT, or perinatal transmission) become infected during labor and delivery. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of a single dose of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) given at the time of labor to HIV infected pregnant women and to their newborn infants.
Details: The majority of perinatally infected infants are infected during the labor and delivery process, but recent studies suggest that additional factors, such as post-exposure prophylaxis, are likely to be involved in the prevention of MTCT of HIV. It is possible that antiretroviral dosing only during labor and short-term dosing to newly born infants would be sufficiently effective to prevent MTCT of HIV. TDF is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that has demonstrated significant effectiveness in preventing MTCT of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) in a primate model of HIV. This study will evaluate the safety, tolerance, and pharmacokinetics of single doses of TDF in both HIV infected pregnant women and their newborn infants. Pregnant women with HIV infection will be assigned to one of two groups in this study. Each participant in Cohort 1 will receive a single 600 mg oral dose of TDF at the start of active labor or 4 hours prior to C-section, with concurrent administration of standard intravenous zidovudine (ZDV) prophylaxis and/or other antiretrovirals prescribed by her physician. The infants from Cohort 1 will receive the standard 6 weeks of oral ZDV prophylaxis postpartum, but no TDF. Pharmacokinetic blood samples will be taken from mothers at pre-dose and 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose and at the time of delivery; pharmacokinetic blood samples will be taken from infants at 12, 24, and 36 hours after birth. Participants in Cohort 2 will be enrolled after all infants in Cohort 1 have completed the 6 to 8 week study visit and all Cohort 1 data have been reviewed. Mothers in Cohort 2 will receive a single dose of TDF (dose to be determined by the pharmacokinetic results of Cohort 1) along with standard ZDV prophylaxis and/or other antiretrovirals prescribed by her physician. Infants will receive a single dose of TDF at 4 mg/kg at 6 hours of age (or with timing to be determined by Cohort 1's results) as well as the standard 6 weeks of oral ZDV prophylaxis after birth. Blood samples from mothers and infants will be taken as for Cohort 1. Mothers will be followed for 12 weeks postpartum or for 2 years after giving birth if viral resistance to TDF is demonstrated at Weeks 1, 6, or 12. In addition to the pharmacokinetic blood samples taken around the time of delivery, blood samples will be taken at screening, study entry, at delivery, and after delivery at various times up to Week 12. Physical exams will be done at screening, study entry, at delivery, and after delivery at various times up to Week 8. Infants will be followed until age 2. Blood will be collected and physical exams will be done at birth and at various times up to Week 96.
