We propose to perform three small, focused clinical trials aimed at reversing HIV latency in long-term antiretroviral-treated adults. While our proposed studies seek to translate findings from the laboratory into the clinic, they are also designed to enable our laboratory-based scientists to further investigate the mechanisms that contribute to latency. We believe that this "reverse translation" is critical to advancing our knowledge about the biology of HIV persistence during therapy. In Specific Aim 1, we will perform a two-center, single arm, limited duration (two weeks) clinical study investigating the ability of disulfiram (an FDA-approved drug to treat alcoholism) to reverse HIV latency. This study is based on recent data from Dr. Siliciano and colleagues: using a primary cell assay for HIV latency developed by his laboratory to identify compounds that activate latent HIV, his group identified this drug as among the most promising agents. This study has received approval from the FDA and the Johns Hopkins IRB, and tentative approval from the UCSF IRB. In Specific Aim 2, we will perform a single-center, randomized, controlled study investigating the ability of maraviroc (a CCR5 inhibitor) to reverse latency. This study is based on emerging data from our group suggesting that this drug may directly affect latent HIV genomes independent of its effect on viral replication. We will work closely with Dr. Sharon Lewin (Project 5) to explore the potential mechanism for this effect. Our group has performed a similar study recently and expects to have no regulatory or logistical barriers to completing the study within one to two years. In Specific Aim 3, we will perform a limited center, dose-escalating phase I study of an anti-PD-1 antibody. This study is based on preliminary data outlined in Project 2 and 3, and will be performed within the ACTG using drug to be provided by Dr. Hazuda and her colleagues. This study has received ACTG approval for full protocol development. U19 funds will be used to support the intensive virology.

我们建议进行三项小型的、集中的临床试验，旨在长期逆转艾滋病毒的潜伏期。 接受抗逆转录病毒治疗的成年人。虽然我们提出的研究旨在将实验室的发现转化为 临床上，它们也旨在使我们的实验室科学家能够进一步研究机制 这会导致延迟。我们相信这种“反向翻译”对于推进我们的知识至关重要 艾滋病病毒在治疗过程中的生物学特性。 在特定目标1中，我们将进行一项双中心、单臂、短期（两周）临床研究 研究双硫仑（FDA批准的治疗酒精中毒的药物）逆转HIV潜伏期的能力。这 这项研究基于Siliciano博士及其同事的最新数据：使用原代细胞检测HIV潜伏期 由他的实验室开发，以确定激活潜伏艾滋病毒的化合物，他的小组确定这种药物为 最有前途的特工之一这项研究已经得到了FDA和约翰霍普金斯的批准 IRB和UCSF IRB的初步批准。 在具体目标2中，我们将进行一项单中心、随机、对照研究，调查 maraviroc（一种CCR 5抑制剂）逆转潜伏期。这项研究是基于我们小组的新数据 这表明这种药物可能直接影响潜伏的HIV基因组，而不依赖于它对病毒复制的影响。 我们将与Sharon Lewin博士（项目5）密切合作，探索这种效应的潜在机制。我们 该小组最近进行了一项类似的研究，预计没有监管或后勤障碍， 在一至两年内完成研究。 在特定目标3中，我们将进行一项有限中心、剂量递增的抗PD-1抗体I期研究。 本研究基于项目2和3中概述的初步数据，将在ACTG内进行 使用由Hazuda博士和她的同事提供的药物。该研究已获得ACTG批准， 协议开发。U19基金将用于支持密集的病毒学。
