About this trial

Study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and antiretroviral activity of a new therapeutic strategy, based on the administration of dasatinib, an ITK, in patients with recent (3-12 months) asymptomatic HIV-1 infection.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

18 to 65 years.

Documented asymptomatic HIV-1 infection of 3-12 months duration (all patients must have a positive Western blot, including the p31 band whose appearance indicates infection of more than 90 days duration).

Not having received ART

CD4 T-lymphocyte count> 350 / μl

Disqualifiers

Active HBV (HBsAg+ or DNA+) and/or HCV (RNA+) infection in screening.

ALT> 2 UNL, glomerular filtration rate <70 mL / 1.73 m2, leukocytes <4000 / mm3, total lymphocyte count <1000 / mm3, platelets <100,000 / mm3 or Hg <12g / dL.

Pregnancy or active breastfeeding

Ongoing or previous pleural effusion

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Safety and tolerance of dasatinib with and without antiretroviral therapy, measured by number of AEs and SAEs

Measured by number of AEs and SAEs

Time frame
52 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Antiretroviral capacity of dasatinib

Measured by quantification of plasma HIV-1 viral load during 4-week administration of dasatinib monotherapy.

Time frame
at week 0 and 4
2

Changes in the viral reservoirs of patients with recent HIV-1 infection induced by dasatinib administration.

Measured by changes in the viral reservoirs (integrated DNA, genetically intact virus, residual and induced viral replication and determination of integration sites)

Time frame
at week 0, 4, 16 and 52
3

Changes in markers of inflammation and immune activation induced by dasatinib administration.

Measured by changes in ultra-sensitive CRP, IL6, TNF alpha and CD4/CD8, CD25, CD69, CD38, HLA-DR+.

Time frame
at week 0, 4, 16 and 52
4

Changes in SAMHD1 phosphorylation levels and cytotoxic activity against HIV-1 induced by dasatinib.

Measured by NK phenotyping and in vitro replication inhibition tests.

Time frame
at week 0, 4, 16 and 52
