Study Summary

"This trial aims to use engineered T cells to target and eliminate HIV-infected cells in individuals living with HIV. The study will investigate the use of cytomegalovirus-specific T cells to enhance the

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people living with HIV who are on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) but still have the virus in their bodies. Participants should be generally healthy and have a history of cytomegalovirus (CMV), which most HIV-positive individuals do.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing CMV/HIV-CAR T Cells, a type of immunotherapy designed to target and destroy HIV-infected cells using the body's own modified T cells that can also respond to CMV, potentially leading to long-term remission of HIV.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune reactions from the engineered T cells, such as fever or fatigue. There could also be risks associated with infusing these modified cells into the body.
