Sevelamer Carbonate for Reducing Endotoxemia and Immune Activation: A Proof of Concept Study
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Sevelamer carbonate for HIV-1 Infection. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 15 sites.
Detailed Summary
HIV-infected people can have an increase in inflammation in their body organs, even after taking anti-HIV medicines. Sevelamer carbonate is used to bind phosphate in dialysis patients. It can also bind endotoxin in the gut and lowers endotoxin levels in the blood of dialysis patients. Sevelamer carbonate decreases the inflammation endotoxin causes in dialysis patients. A5296 is a phase II, single-arm study to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of sevelamer carbonate administration on markers of microbial translocation and T-cell activation in the blood in chronically HIV-infected subjects not receiving ART.
