An Exploratory, Open-Label, Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Ability of Interleukin-2 (IL-2) to Enhance HIV-Specific Immunity and Influence the Time to Virologic Relapse Following Withdrawal of Potent Antiretroviral Therapy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Aldesleukin for HIV Infections. Completed, across 10 sites.
Detailed Summary
When an HIV infected person taking strong anti-HIV drugs temporarily stops taking them, viral load rises and the body's immune system is exposed to more HIV. This may lead to the body mounting a better immune response against the virus. The purpose of this study is to find out if taking interleukin-2 (also called IL-2 or aldesleukin) while stopping anti-HIV drugs for short periods of time can help patients control their HIV viral load. Study hypothesis: Patients in this study will have lower virologic rebound and will maintain their CD4 cell counts for a longer time than other patients in comparative studies.
