This study tests how a long-acting injectable HIV prevention drug (cabotegravir) works in people who also use hormone therapy (like birth control or gender-affirming hormones). The goal is to see if the hormones affect how well the drug prevents HIV. If you are HIV-negative, use hormones, and meet other health criteria, you may be able to join.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 19 years+ - NCT07461350Enrolling by invitation
Heart health study in people with and without HIV
This study uses MRI scans to look at how stimulant use and inflammation affect the heart in people with and without HIV. It aims to learn more about heart disease risks and may help guide future care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 30 years+ - NCT04941274RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Abemaciclib for Kaposi sarcoma in people with or without HIV
This Phase 1/2 study tests the medicine abemaciclib to shrink Kaposi sarcoma (KS) lesions and control the disease. It includes both people with HIV and people without HIV, and may help when KS has not responded well to prior treatment or when certain KS stages are present.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT04902443RecruitingPhase 1
Pomalidomide plus nivolumab for virus-related cancers
This trial studies pomalidomide plus nivolumab in people with cancers linked to certain viruses (or hepatitis B/C). It may help the immune system fight the cancer when the disease has returned, progressed, or can’t be fully treated with standard options.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06375122Recruiting
A study of Kaposi sarcoma over time
This study follows people with Kaposi sarcoma to learn more about the disease and how it changes over time. It may help doctors better understand and treat KS in the future.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06819176RecruitingPhase 1
Adding lenacapavir to disrupt HIV reservoirs in suppressed people
This trial tests whether adding a new long-acting drug, lenacapavir, to your current HIV treatment can reduce the hidden HIV that remains in your body even when standard treatment keeps the virus undetectable. The goal is to see if this can lead to better control of HIV over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT05580458RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Shingles vaccine study for adults with well-controlled HIV
This Phase 1/2 study tests how safe and how well a shingles (varicella zoster) vaccine works in adults living with HIV whose immune status is measured by CD4 count, plus a healthy comparison group. It may help researchers understand whether the vaccine can safely boost protection in people with HIV.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05419024RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging and biopsy during a planned HIV treatment pause
This Phase 2 study uses special scans (PET/CT) and tissue sampling (biopsy) to learn what is happening in the body while people with HIV take a planned break from antiretroviral therapy (ART) for up to 90 days. It may help researchers find better ways to control HIV without ongoing treatment, though joining involves careful monitoring during the pause.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT07308886RecruitingPhase 2
CYT107 for Kaposi sarcoma in HIV patients with low CD4
This trial tests an experimental drug (CYT107) that boosts the immune system to help fight Kaposi sarcoma in people with HIV who have a low CD4 count despite good HIV treatment. It aims to see if the drug can improve KS tumors and quality of life.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05389423RecruitingPhase 1
Pomalidomide plus chemotherapy for HIV-related lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests whether a combination of pomalidomide and a dose-adjusted chemotherapy plan (EPOCH), with or without rituximab, can treat certain aggressive B-cell lymphomas in people living with HIV. It aims to find a safe dosing approach and see how well the treatment works for specific lymphoma types or high risk of spread to the brain.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00767312Enrolling by invitation
Study how HIV multiplies during HIV drug treatment
This study looks at how HIV continues to multiply (or stays suppressed) while you are taking antiretroviral therapy, using blood samples. It may help researchers better understand what HIV is doing during treatment and why some people experience changes like viral rebound.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT05470491RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Haploidentical bone marrow transplant with GVHD prevention drugs
This trial tests a reduced-intensity bone marrow transplant from a related donor (haploidentical), using medicines to help prevent a serious complication called GVHD. It is for people with certain blood cancers and aims to improve outcomes by balancing transplant benefit with lower treatment intensity.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–120 - NCT00006518Recruiting
Tissue samples from people with viral infections or cancer
This study collects tissue and blood samples from people who have or have been exposed to certain viruses (HIV, KSHV, HPV, EBV, or HTLV-1) or who have developed cancer or precancerous skin lesions. The samples help researchers understand how these viruses may lead to cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00039689Recruiting
Blood collection study for newly diagnosed HIV research
This research study collects blood cells from people recently diagnosed with HIV who haven't started HIV medicines yet. Researchers use these samples to understand how HIV affects the immune system and develop better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00001316Recruiting
Study viral levels in blood and lymph node tissue with HIV
This study measures how much HIV is in your blood and lymph node tissue. If you qualify, you would also allow blood and other tests (including genetic and hepatitis screening), which may help researchers better understand how HIV affects the body.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT06908083Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Stopping HIV treatment with antibody therapy
This trial tests whether a combination of powerful antibodies (bNAbs) can help control HIV after stopping standard HIV treatment. Participants will pause their daily HIV medications while receiving these antibodies, and doctors will closely monitor their immune system and virus levels. It's for people who are already well-controlled on HIV treatment and have participated in a specific earlier study.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT01875588Recruiting
Long-term study of thinking and memory in adults with HIV
This study looks at how thinking and memory change over time in adults with HIV and compares them with adults without HIV. Researchers will do regular visits and brain/cognitive testing to understand what affects thinking and memory and to learn what might help.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–110 - NCT03087253Recruiting
Study of what causes and affects lipodystrophy
