First seen Dec 16, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study tests whether baricitinib, a drug used for arthritis, is safe and can reduce the hidden HIV reservoir in 30 people whose HIV is already well-controlled by standard medication. Participants take either baricitinib or a placebo daily for 12 weeks while continuing their regular HIV drugs. The goal is to learn about safety and how the drug affects immune cells, not to cure HIV.
