Study Summary
This trial will test if a drug can reduce inflammation in the aorta, as seen using imaging techniques.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people living with HIV who have controlled their virus levels, are on stable antiretroviral therapy, and have a CD4+ count over 200. Participants must be at least 45 years old with cardiovascular risk factors like heart disease or high cholesterol. They can't join if they've had recent serious infections, certain liver issues, drug interactions with CVC, or excessive radiation exposure.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether cenicriviroc mesylate (CVC), at doses of either 150 mg or 300 mg, can reduce artery inflammation in HIV-positive individuals compared to a placebo. The effect is measured using PET/CT scans of the aorta.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for CVC aren't listed here, common ones may include gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea or diarrhea, potential liver enzyme changes, fatigue and possible allergic reactions.
