New approach aims to shield HIV patients from hidden heart threat

NCT ID NCT07030920

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a drug called fostemsavir to standard HIV medication can lower the risk of heart disease in people whose HIV is already well-controlled. Researchers will compare heart scans, physical tests, and blood markers over two years between 150 participants who take the extra drug and those who continue their usual care alone. The goal is to see if blocking a specific viral protein reduces harmful inflammation linked to faster aging and heart problems in people living with HIV.
