Summary

This study checks if some people with HIV might be cured. Ten patients who have had undetectable HIV for at least 6 months will stop their antiretroviral therapy under close medical supervision. Doctors will watch for the virus to come back. The goal is to see if the infection is truly gone.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 10 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Start date

May 2015

Expected to finish

May 2035

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria * Age ≥ 18 years * HIV-1 infected with the potential to have been cured of infection in the course of routine clinical care in the opinion of the treating physician and study team * Have an undetectable plasma HIV-1 RNA and undetectable proviral DNA on suppressive antiretroviral therapy on at least two consecutive measures for at least 6 months * Able and willing to either abstain from sexual activity or use barrier contraceptives during the ATI * Negative serum β-HCG pregnancy test in women with childbearing potential * Have the ability to give appropriate informed consent. Exclusion Criteria * Women who are pregnant or nursing * Women who can become pregnant who are unable or unwilling to use both barrier and pharmacologic contraceptives during the ATI * Previous or current infections that are at high risk of reactivating with immune suppression, in whom there are no effective antimicrobial prophylaxis options * Advanced cardiopulmonary or liver disease * History of untreated solid or hematologic malignancies * Evidence of active viral replication in patients co-infected with Hepatitis B virus (HBV).

Such patients should be offered HCV treatment first.
