A Phase II Open-Label Pilot Trial of the Antiretroviral Activity, Safety, and Tolerability of Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2A (40KD) [PegasysTM] in HIV-1 Infected Subjects
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Pegylated interferon alfa-2a for HIV Infections. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
Recombinant interferon (IFN) may be useful in the treatment of HIV. However, the high doses of IFN necessary to keep HIV under control limit its use due to toxic side effects. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of weekly recombinant pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) alfa-2a in HIV infected people who are currently on antiretroviral therapy (ART) interruption or who have not started taking anti-HIV drugs.
