Study pause of HIV treatment in people already enrolled
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at what happens when HIV treatment (ART) is intentionally paused in people who are already enrolled in a specific research study (RV254) and recently joined a protocol that included an earlier treatment pause. It may help researchers understand safety and how to manage treatment changes, but it has strict participation and consent requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be age 18 or older.
- You must already be enrolled in the RV254 study.
- You must have completed a research protocol that included a treatment pause within the last month.
- You must be able and willing to attend study visits for up to 144 weeks.
- You must agree to give written consent (or witnessed verbal consent if you can’t sign) and allow a photo or fingerprint for ID.
- If you can become pregnant, you must agree not to get pregnant while off HIV treatment, using abstinence or birth control/barrier methods as required.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study looks at whether some people with HIV can keep the virus controlled even if they temporarily stop HIV medicines (an “analytic treatment interruption”). If you qualify, it may help researchers learn what it would take for an HIV cure.
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.
This study compares how active the immune system is and how large the “hidden” HIV reservoir is in people on two different HIV treatment types. It may help researchers understand whether staying on a tenofovir-containing regimen leads to better control of HIV hiding in the body.
This study tests whether a combination approach, including a drug called nicotinamide (a form of vitamin B3) and other strategies, can reduce the hidden HIV reservoir enough to allow a temporary pause in antiretroviral therapy without the virus rebounding. It is for people who have well-controlled HIV and strong immune systems.
This study tests whether giving a small protein called IL-15 can help your immune system keep HIV under control after pausing your daily HIV medications. You will stop your meds for a short time under careful monitoring, and the hope is that your body might learn to fight HIV without daily pills.
