First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether a mix of intensified antiretrovirals, a latency-reversing drug, an anti-proliferative drug, and a personalized vaccine can shrink the hidden HIV reservoir enough to allow people to stop their daily medication. The study will enroll 70 adults with well-controlled HIV. Researchers will monitor viral rebound and immune responses during a treatment interruption.
