- NCT07308886RecruitingPhase 2
CYT107 for Kaposi sarcoma in HIV patients with low CD4

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.

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
This study observes people with lipodystrophy to better understand how the condition develops and affects the body over time. It may help researchers learn who is most affected and guide future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Any age - NCT03300830Recruiting
Testing tumors linked to viruses, HIV, and immune disorders
This study collects and analyzes tumor tissue to learn what drives certain cancers and growths linked to viruses, HIV, and immune system problems. Results may help researchers understand disease causes and point to better future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03878121RecruitingPhase 1
Ad4-HIV vaccine study for healthy adults and partners
This Phase 1 study tests whether an experimental HIV vaccine (made from a harmless viral vector) is safe and helps the body build immune defenses. It includes healthy volunteers and, in some groups, their close partners, with careful screening and follow-up visits.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT00029445Recruiting
Blood and Cell Collection Study for HIV Research
This research study collects blood cells from adults with HIV and their family members to understand why some people's immune systems control HIV better than others. Researchers will use your cells to study HIV immunity and develop better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00114647Recruiting
Blood draw to collect plasma or white blood cells for lab tests
This trial uses a special blood-removal procedure called apheresis to collect either plasma or white blood cells for laboratory research. It may help scientists understand infection or immune-related processes by providing specific blood components for study.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT04052022Recruiting
Study of TB flare-ups in people without HIV
This study looks at why some people with tuberculosis (TB) get worse or develop new inflammation after they initially start improving on treatment—called a “paradoxical reaction.” It collects blood and tissue samples to better understand these flare-ups and guide future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - 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 - NCT07683000RecruitingPhase 3
Study of three HIV drugs for adults with controlled HIV
This trial tests a new combination of three medications, lenacapavir, teropavimab, and zinlirvimab, for people with HIV who currently have undetectable virus levels on a stable oral treatment. The goal is to see if these drugs can keep the virus suppressed, possibly allowing a simpler treatment plan.
Annandale, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07682961RecruitingPhase 3
Study of new HIV injection vs. standard injectables
This phase 3 trial tests a new long-acting, injectable two-drug combination (lenacapavir + teropavimab + zinlirvimab) vs. another injectable combo (cabotegravir + rilpivirine) for people whose HIV is already well-controlled on daily oral meds. It aims to see if the new combo can keep the virus under control with fewer injections.
Annandale, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07645287RecruitingPhase 2
New HIV Combination Therapy for People on Biktarvy
This study tests a new HIV medication (GS-3242) combined with lenacapavir against your current Biktarvy regimen. Both are all-oral treatments for people whose HIV is well-controlled.
Annandale, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06141408Recruiting
PrEP for Black men in Prince George's County
This study looks at whether a new program can help Black men in Prince George's County, Maryland, start or stay on PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. If you're HIV-negative and at risk, this could be a way to protect your health.

Talk-based overdose prevention for people using opioids
This trial tests an overdose prevention approach for people who have used opioids recently. It aims to help reduce the risk of overdose by offering a structured prevention intervention.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07778459Recruiting
Liver transplant study for people with HIV
This study tests whether it's safe and effective for people with HIV to receive a liver transplant from a donor who also has HIV. It aims to expand access to transplants for people with HIV.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02140255RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Intensive early HIV treatment in newborns to aim for remission
This study gives very early, intensive HIV medicine to infants diagnosed with HIV and follows them closely to see if HIV can go into remission (stop being detectable without ongoing treatment). It may help families understand whether treating right after birth can change a child’s long-term HIV outlook.
