ACE Inhibitors to Decrease Lymphoid Fibrosis in Antiretroviral-Treated, HIV-infected Patients: A Pilot Study
- Registration Number
- NCT01535235
- Lead Sponsor
- University of California, San Francisco
- Brief Summary
The investigators propose a proof-of-concept, pathogenesis-oriented, randomized, placebo-controlled pilot study to assess whether the addition of an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor to standard Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) reverses lymphoid fibrosis, and whether this leads to more effective HIV-specific host immune responses and an accelerated clearance of the latent reservoir.
