First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study is testing whether a single low dose of nivolumab, a drug used in cancer treatment, can reduce the hidden HIV reservoir in people living with HIV who are on antiretroviral therapy (ART). The HIV reservoir is a group of infected cells that stay dormant and prevent a cure. The trial involves 42 adults and focuses on safety and the drug's ability to activate these dormant cells. If successful, this approach could help control HIV without needing lifelong medication, but participants must continue ART during the study.
