First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study tests whether baricitinib, a drug approved for other conditions, can keep HIV under control after participants stop their usual antiretroviral therapy (ART). Twenty people with well-controlled HIV will take baricitinib alongside ART for 26 weeks, then continue baricitinib alone for up to 24 weeks. Researchers will monitor how long it takes for the virus to rebound and check for side effects.
