HIV-1 Infection Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Probiotics on Microbial Translocation and Immune Activation in HIV-1 Infection. A Randomised Placebo-controlled Trial
HIV progression is closely associated with chronic immune activation driven by leakage of bacterial products from a damaged gut, the investigators largest immunological organ. Notably, the degree of immune activation has been suggested to be a better predictor of disease progression than plasma viral load, and markers of immune activation and gut damage have been identified as therapeutic targets per se. The major damage by HIV to the immune system is an initial massacre of gut mucosal CD4+ Th17 cells. Interestingly, a normal gut flora has been shown to induce the maturation of Th17 cells in the small intestine mucosa. Preliminary reports have shown that the gut flora is altered in HIV-1 infection compared to controls. In this project, the investigators will characterize microbial composition of gut flora in chronic HIV infection with ultradeep sequencing. Gut flora composition will be related to clinical data as well as quantitative data of circulating microbial products and activation markers. Second, in a randomized clinical trial (RCT) the effect of probiotic lactobacilli on HIV pathogenesis and progression will be tested. This Gram-positive strain is clinically tested and is able to colonize the gut.
Objectives:
To explore (i) the safety and tolerability, and (ii) the efficacy of probiotics on
HIV-associated microbial translocation, systemic immune activation, disease progression and
composition of gut microbiota in chronic HIV-1 infection.
Methodology/Study design:
Approximately 50 patients without current indication for antiretroviral treatment (ART) and
50 patients receiving ART without normalised CD4 counts will be included. A controlled
clinical trial will be carried out within each stratum randomised in a 2:1:1 fashion to
double blinded intervention and placebo arms as well as an open, untreated control arm,
respectively.
