A Pilot Study of Rifaximin as a Modulator of Gut Microbial Translocation and Systemic Immune Activation in HIV-Infected Individuals With Incomplete CD4+ T-cell Recovery on Antiretroviral Therapy
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Rifaximin for HIV-1 Infection. Completed, enrolled 73 participants across 32 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
This study is being done to see whether rifaximin, an antibiotic that works in the intestines, can lower the amount of germs in the intestines of HIV infected persons. It is possible that when the amount of these germs is lowered, an HIV-infected person's immune system will become less active and will have a better chance of recovering. Also, the study will evaluate the safety of using rifaximin in HIV-infected subjects.
