该合同是一个单一的招标下的一些奖项之一， RFP旨在实施多项临床研究 有能力执行第一阶段的设施， HIV感染患者的II期临床研究（人类 免疫缺陷病毒）。 这些研究对于NIAID是必要的 确定一种安全有效的治疗方案， 这种感染。 此外，这些研究还将提供信息， 评价药物的药代动力学及其 代谢物。 承包商将负责评估 患者的反应治疗使用的性能状态，药物反应， 药代动力学试验和毒性标准， 提前 承包商将负责执行病毒 从各种临床样品中分离测定，用于评估 治疗前、治疗期间和治疗后的免疫状态， 对一个子集进行深入的药代动力学分析， 患者治疗。 患者的临床状态将 定期监测。 数据将通过远程输入提交给 中央协调中心。 调查人员将定期开会 与艾滋病药物选择委员会讨论当前和 未来的研究和解决技术问题， 工作坊.

This contract is one of a number of awards solicited under a single RFP designed to put in place a number of clinical research facilities that would have the capability of performing Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical studies in patients infected with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). These studies are necessary for the NIAID to identify a safe and possibly efficacious treatment regimen for this infection. The studies will provide information, in addition, on the pharmacokinetics of the drugs evaluated and their metabolites. The contractor will be responsible for assessing the patient's response therapy using performance status, drug response, pharmacokinetic assays, and toxicity criteria designated in advance. The contractor will be responsible for performing viral isolation assays from a variety of clinical samples, for evaluating immunologic status prior to, during, and after therapy, and for performing in-depth pharmacokinetic analysis on a subset of patients treated. Clinical status of the patients will be regularly monitored. Data will be submitted by remote entry to a centralized coordinating center. Investigators will meet regularly with the AIDS Drug Selection Committee to discuss current and future studies and resolve technical issues through focused workshops.
