Brief Summary:
Viral eradication in selected HIV-infected patients is possible with intensive antiretroviral therapy plus immunomodulation
Detailed Description:
The overall strategy of the ERAMUNE 01 Trial is to treat selected patients with an optimal synergistic antiretroviral regimen plus one or more immunomodulating agents. Among immunomodulating treatments the candidates include therapies from two functional classes: 1) agents that target actively replicating cells and 2) agents activating latently infected cells31.
The novelty of this approach is three-fold: first, the use of highly potent antiretroviral therapy combining drugs with different HIV enzymes targets or receptors and different penetrations in cells, with the aim to suppress virus to truly undetectable levels as measured by the most sophisticated viral quantification techniques; secondly, the addition of an immunomodulatory therapy that specifically targets viral reservoirs to this intensification strategy; and lastly, the rigorous selection of patients having already a low HIV reservoir as measured by peripheral blood HIV DNA content. To our knowledge, this type of strategy has not been implemented. We believe this strategy is feasible.
