HIV Infections Clinical Trial
Official title:
Development of a New Family of HIV Latency Regulators (LRAs) Targeting the Tat Viral Protein
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) prevents HIV from multiplying. However, if people living with HIV stop taking ART, the virus quickly reappears in their blood due to the random activation of hidden infected cells. These hidden cells contain HIV that is not active and do not produce the virus. These cells are a major challenge in finding a cure for HIV. One of the most promising ways to get rid of these hidden infected cells is by activating them with special drugs called latency-reversing agents (LRAs). This process, known as the "shock-and-kill" strategy, involves waking up the hidden virus ("shock" phase) so that it can be destroyed by the body's immune system or by the virus itself ("kill" phase). Investigators are developing new LRAs that target and activate a viral protein called Tat, which is necessary for the virus to start producing again and for reversing its dormant state.The lead compound, named D10, is the first of its kind to target the Tat protein. This compound has been patented and has shown activity in activating the virus in lab-grown cells. Now, investigators need to test its effectiveness on real target cells from people living with HIV.
20 ml of blood (5 tubes of 4 ml each) will be collected from 24 people living with HIV who are on ART. The inclusion criteria for this study are: being HIV-positive, having an undetectable viral load for more than 12 months, and having a history of very low T-CD4 counts (nadir < 200 cells/mm³). In the lab, investigators will isolate immune cells (PBMCs) from the blood using a special technique. These cells will then be placed in small wells and treated with LRAs for 18-20 hours. Investigators will measure the virus produced in the cell supernatant using two methods: q-RT-PCR for viral RNA and p24 ELISA for viral protein. The results will be analyzed using conventional statistical methods. ;
