Impact of Raltegravir on the Viral Reservoirs
An observational study of HIV Infection, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice.
Trial summary
The objective of the antiretroviral treatment is to inhibit the viral replication, estimated(appreciated) by the measure of the viral plasmatic load(responsibility). In this inhibition of the viral replication usually joins an immune reconstruction [ 1 ]. Nevertheless, a viro-immunological dissociation, i.e. Read more about this study

About this study
The objective of the antiretroviral treatment is to inhibit the viral replication, estimated(appreciated) by the measure of the viral plasmatic load(responsibility). In this inhibition of the viral replication usually joins an immune reconstruction [ 1 ]. Nevertheless, a viro-immunological dissociation, i.e. an undetectable viral load(responsibility) and an absence of immune reconstruction, is regularly observed. It is now turned out that an undetectable viral load(responsibility) does not correspond to the total absence of viral replication and that it is possible to detect of the intracellular pro-viral DNA . Raltegravir ®, because of its mode of action(share) inhibiting the integration of the pro-viral DNA in the chromosomes of the infected cells(units) , could decrease the intracellular reservoir of monocyte-macrophages, improve the homeostasis, so optimizing the cooperation lymphocytes T - macrophages. Several experimental data suggest that the regression of the abnormalities of cellular interactions, and the rate of apoptose abnormally raised(abnormally brought up) by cells(units) T at the patients in viro-immunological dissociation, could be obtained .
This study aims at measuring the impact of Raltegravir ® on the viral reservoirs lymphocyte and monocyte, to quantify the expression of the molecules of costimulation, the source(spring) of intercellular interactions lymphocytes - monocytes, and to measure the rate of apoptose of the cells(units) T.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Measure the effect of Raltegravir ® on the intracellular reservoirs lymphocytaires and monocytaires.
OBJECTIVES
Measure the effect of Raltegravir ® on the intracellular reservoirs lymphocytes and monocytes
Measured: 3 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Measure the effect of Raltegravir ® on the intracellular reservoirs lymphocytes and monocytes.
Secondary objectives:
Measure the quality of the interactions lymphocytes - monocytes through the expression membranaires of the molecules of cotsimulation, the measure of proliferation, apoptose and cytokines produced via an in vitro stimulation CD3-CD28. A modulation of the cellular viral reservoirs could indeed underestimate the cellular death so schedule(program) that the profile cytokinique.
Measure the impact of Raltegravir ® at the patients presenting an undetectable viral load(responsibility) on sub-population T CD4 and T CD8.
Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of HIV Infection, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Measure the effect of Raltegravir ® on the intracellular reservoirs lymphocytaires and monocytaires. (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jun 2026.
