Reversing Tissue Fibrosis to Improve Immune Reconstitution in HIV
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Losartan and Placebo for HIV Infection and HIV Infections. Completed, enrolled 52 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study was designed to test the hypothesis that treatment of HIV infected subjects with losartan, an agent with specific anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic actions, will: 1. reverse existing lymphoid tissue fibrosis, 2. restore lymphoid tissue architecture, 3. increase the number and improve the function of peripheral and lymphatic CD4 T cells, 4. decrease levels of systemic immune activation (IA), 5. decrease size of the HIV reservoir, and 6. be safe and well tolerated.
