The study is a randomized interventional comparative Phase III trial. The duration of the trial for each subject is expected to be 3 months. The duration for each individual subject includes one-month study treatment and 3 months follow-up time. Recruitment of subjects will start in April 2020. 150

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to atherosclerosis continues to be the leading single cause of death in industrialized countries. High serum lipid levels, and especially high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, have been demonstrated to strongly and directly correlate with CVD risks

This is a Phase IV, 48-week, open-label, pilot study in 30 ARV-naïve patients examining the safety, viral response, and tolerability of darunavir/cobicistat in combination with rilpivirine once daily for the treatment of HIV in treatment-naïve patients. Thirty subjects meeting the inclusion criteria

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has enhanced the life expectancy of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients, making HIV a manageable chronic disease for many patients. Patients with HIV are prone to lipid abnormalities secondary to HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy,

After more than ten years since it was started, it has already been established that highly-active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) has caused a dramatic reduction in the morbidity and mortality of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. However, HAART is not exempt of limitations, namely, its

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, a member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) superfamily, is the principal inhibitor to tissue-type plasminogen activator and urokinase-type plasminogen activator. Elevated plasma PAI-1 levels, an independent cardiovascular risk factor, has been shown to be a

Hyperlipidemia continues to be a common problem in individuals with HIV, particularly those receiving HIV protease inhibitors (PIs) or the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, stavudine. PI-treated patients have been noted to have increases in low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides

The postprandial state is a proinflammatory and proatherogenic condition. Increasing evidence support the contention the elevated triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins (TGRL) are atherogenic. Hypertriglyceridemia is a characteristic of the metabolic complications during human immunodeficiency

Some HIV-infected adults develop a lipodystrophy that includes significant changes in body shape, with fat loss in the face, arms and legs, and fat gain in the trunk. This lipodystrophy is often accompanied by hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, and hyperinsulinemia. So far, almost all cases

Potent antiretroviral therapy has become the standard of care for persons with HIV infection and AIDS. Recently, however, a number of complications have emerged with the widespread use of protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimens, including: hyperlipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, diabetes mellitus, and
