NCT ID NCT05230368
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tested whether a combination of two HIV-1 activators is safe for people with HIV subtype B who are on standard antiretroviral therapy and have undetectable virus levels. Nine men participated, and the study focused on tracking side effects. The goal was to gather safety data, not to treat or cure HIV.
