Reducing inflammation in people living with HIV
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests if a drug can lower inflammation in people with HIV who are on effective treatment. It may help reduce the risk of heart disease and other problems related to chronic inflammation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 or older, or have had HIV for 25 years or more
- Your HIV viral load is undetectable (below 50 copies/mL) in the last 6 months
- You have at least one cardiovascular risk factor, like high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease
- You have had detectable sgp120 levels in your blood in the past year (a marker of inflammation)
- You are not taking medications that interfere with the study drug, and you do not have severe liver or heart problems

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if colchicine, a medicine for inflammation, can reduce swelling in the heart arteries of people with HIV. It may help lower the risk of heart problems in those already on a statin or similar medication.
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 Phase 2 study looks at whether lowering inflammation can help improve depression symptoms in adults living with HIV. You may be able to join if your HIV is well controlled and you are currently experiencing major depression (or a certain type of bipolar depression).
This study is testing a medication that may help improve blood flow to the heart in women with HIV who also have diabetes, kidney disease, or protein in their urine. You would need to have a heart scan that shows low blood flow and not be taking certain diabetes drugs.
This study tests if eating a Mediterranean diet can lower heart disease risk for people with HIV who have high LDL cholesterol. You must be on HIV treatment with a suppressed viral load and not already eating a Mediterranean-style diet.
This study looks at how body inflammation and lung health relate to the movement of fungi in the body of people living with HIV. The goal is to better understand what factors may affect lung problems and fungal “translocation,” which may help future care.
