ACE Inhibitors to Decrease Lymphoid Fibrosis in Antiretroviral-Treated, HIV-infected Patients: A Pilot Study

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
HIV
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
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.
