NCT ID NCT07342491

First seen Jan 18, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether dasatinib, a drug used for leukemia, can reduce the hidden HIV reservoir in people already on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Fourteen adults with suppressed HIV will take either dasatinib or a placebo daily for 12 weeks, with close monitoring for safety and changes in immune cells. The goal is to see if the drug can safely lower the amount of virus that stays dormant in the body.
