NCT ID NCT06554717
First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding the drug tesamorelin to a home exercise program improves physical function in adults aged 50-80 with HIV who are sedentary and show early signs of frailty. Half of the 100 participants will get tesamorelin and half a placebo, all while exercising with a coach for 24 weeks. The goal is to see if the combination helps them move better, build muscle, and maintain gains after stopping the drug.
