简要总结
Double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial of Arabinoxylan Rice Bran Supplementation for 12 weeks with BRM4 in HIV-infected participants with inadequate immune reconstitution.
详细描述
Rationale: HIV infected persons have greater levels of inflammation and immune activation compared to the general population and are at greater risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD) and other inflammation-associated co-morbidities. Intervention with BRM4 (Arabinoxylan Rice Bran Supplementation) in this population with impaired immune reconstitution may improve inflammation by a variety of mechanisms.
Intervention: Arabinoxylan Rice Bran Supplementation with BRM4, is a nutritional supplement marketed in the US. It is composed of dietary fiber obtained from a denatured hemicellulose that is obtained by reacting rice bran hemicellulose with multiple carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes from Shiitake mushrooms.
Objectives: The primary objective is to evaluate if 12 weeks of supplementation with arabinoxylan rice bran can safely reduce markers of inflammation during ART-suppressed HIV infection and thus potentially reduce the potential to develop end-organ disease in this group of at-risk patients.
Study population: HIV-infected participants (≥18 years of age) who have been on stable ART for at least 24 weeks prior to study entry, and have impaired immune reconstitution defined as a CD4+ T-cell count 100-350 cells/mm3 prior to study entry, with plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL. In order to assure 24 evaluable subjects, the investigators will enroll 28 subjects total (assuming 15% lost to follow-up rate).
Study methodology: Randomized, double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial
