简要总结

This is a randomized placebo-controlled trial to examine if once daily probiotic therapy will lower serum LPS levels and immune activation among HIV-infected youth.

详细描述

This is a double masked randomized placebo-controlled trial to examine if once daily probiotic therapy will lower serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels and immune activation among HIV-infected youth. The study will enroll two cohorts: (1) a cohort of subjects who are not receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) and have absolute CD4 T-cell count greater than 350 cells/ul and quantitative HIV-1 plasma RNA (viral load) less than 50,000 copies/ml; and (2) a cohort of subjects who are receiving ART and have absolute CD4 T-cell count greater than 350 cells/ul and and quantitative HIV-1 plasma RNA (viral load) less than 400 copies/ml.

  • Age 13 years and 0 days to 24 years and 364 days at the time of consent
  • Confirmed or suspected to have acquired HIV infection at age 10 years or older
  • HIV-1 infection as documented by any FDA-approved ELISA test kit and confirmed by Western blot, HIV-1 culture, HIV-1 antigen, HIV-1 DNA, plasma HIV-1 RNA, or a second antibody test by a method other than ELISA at any time prior to pre-entry
  • Absolute CD4 T-cell count greater than 350 cells/ul at pre-entry
  • Cohort 1 - Not receiving ART and no exposure to ART in the 24 weeks prior to pre-entry: Quantitative HIV-1 plasma RNA (viral load) less than 50,000 copies/ml on two consecutive determinations at least 8 weeks apart in the 24 weeks prior to and including pre-entry
  • Cohort 2 - Currently receiving ART and received ART for at least the 24 weeks prior to pre-entry: Quantitative HIV-1 plasma RNA (viral load) less than 400 copies/ml on two consecutive determinations at least 8 weeks apart in the 24 weeks prior to and including pre-entry
