Can an arthritis drug keep HIV in check without daily pills?

NCT ID NCT07209267

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether baricitinib, an FDA-approved drug 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. The goal is to see if baricitinib delays viral rebound and reduces the need to restart ART.
