Engineered immune cells aim to keep HIV in check without daily pills
NCT ID NCT06252402
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tests whether specially engineered immune cells (CMV-HIV CAR T cells) can help control HIV in people already on antiretroviral therapy (ART). The goal is to see if these cells can persist in the body and keep the virus suppressed, potentially allowing long-term remission. The study involves 15 adults with well-controlled HIV and no other major health issues.
