简要总结
The REDUC trial's objective is to address one of the core issues with the treatment of HIV, which is that some HIV infected cells hide in so-called latent reservoirs. The reservoirs are unaffected by conventional HIV medication and invisible to the immune system. HDACi have the potential to activate these latently infected cells. This will make the HIV infected cells visible to the immune system; the immune response generate by Vacc-4x will be able to attack and eliminate the infected cells.
详细描述
The study is divide into two parts. In Part A the safety and tolerability of romidepsin will be evaluated and the effect of romidepsin treatment on HIV-1 transcription in HIV-infected patients virologically suppressed on cART will be determined.
In Part B the effect of treatment with Vacc-4x + rhuGM-CSF and romidepsin treatment on the HIV-1 latent reservoir in HIV-infected patients virologically suppressed on cART will be measured.
Six patients will be enrolled for part A and the safety and tolerability profile evaluated before enrolling 20 patients in B.

研究组 & 干预措施
Part A
Pre-treatment phase of 2-4 weeks (Visit 1- Visit 2a) followed by viral reactivation phase of 3 weeks (Visit 2 to Visit 7) consisting of one cycle of romidepsin infusions at a dosing of 5 mg/m2 on days 0, 7, and 14.
Post-activation phase of ~9 weeks (Visit 8 to Visit 11) to assess the effect of romidepsin on the size of latent HIV-1 reservoir.
干预措施: Romidepsin (Drug)
Part B
Pre-treatment phase of 2-4 weeks (Visit 1-Visit 2) followed by a therapeutic HIV-1 immunization phase of 12 weeks (Visit 2 to Visit 7) in which 1.2 mg Vacc-4x was administered together with 0.06 mg rhuGM-CSF at Visits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 follow by a follow-up period of 2 weeks (Visit 8).
A viral reactivation phase of 3 weeks (Visit 9-Visit 11) consisting of one cycle of 3 romidepsin infusions (5 mg/m2) followed by a post-treatment observation phase of ~9 weeks (Visit 12-Visit 13) to assess the effect of the investigational treatment on the size of the latent HIV-1 reservoir.
A monitored antiretroviral pause of up to 16 weeks (Visit 14-Visit 33).

结局指标
主要结局
Part A: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE) and Serious Adverse Events (SAE)
时间窗: 3 weeks
Safety and tolerability evaluation as measured by adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events (SAE).
Part B: Changes From Baseline in HIV-1 Reservoir (Total HIV-1DNA; Integrated HIV-1 DNA in Unfractionated CD4+ T Cells and Replication Competent Provirus.
时间窗: Day 161/175
Total HIV-1 DNA and integrated HIV-1 DNA were analysed by MMRM analysis (copies/10\^6 CD4+ T cells). To estimate the frequency of infectious units per 10\^6 resting memory CD4+ T cells a quantitative viral outgrowth assay (qVOA) was used. Blood samples were obtained at Day 0, Day 105 and Day 161.
