Disulfiram to Accelerate Decay in HIV Reservoirs in ART Treated Patients
Location(s): United States
Description
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a two-week course of disulfiram will reduce the HIV-1 latent reservoir in patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
Primary Outcome Measures:
To determine if the addition of disulfiram to a stable antiretroviral regimen for two weeks results in decline in the size of the HIV-1 reservoir, as defined by the frequency of resting CD4+ T cells harboring replication competent HIV-1.
To determine if the addition of disulfiram to a stable antiretroviral regimen for two weeks is associated with an immediate or transient increase in plasma HIV-1 RNA levels.
To determine if the addition of disulfiram to a stable antiretroviral regimen for two weeks is safe and well tolerated.
To determine if the addition of disulfiram to a stable antiretroviral regimen for two weeks results in an increase in the frequency of activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood.
