A Study of the Effect of Ixazomib on the Reservoir of T Cells Infected with HIV DNA

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of ixazomib in HIV infected patients who are on a stable regimen of ART that suppresses HIV replication, and to determine the effectiveness of ixazomib on reservoir T cells that are infected with HIV DNA.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

  • Males even if surgically sterilized (ie, status post-vasectomy), must agree to one of the following
    • To practice effective barrier contraception and a second method of contraception for their female partners of childbearing potential during the entire study treatment period and through 90 days after the last dose of ixazomib
    • To practice true abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject
      • Periodic abstinence such as calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception
    • To forego sperm donation for the same period as above

    • Total bilirubin >ULN or direct bilirubin is > ULN
    • AST >1.5 x ULN or ALT >1.5 x ULN 
    • Creatinine ≥2.0 x ULN or an estimated creatinine clearance ≤60mL/min

    • Nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of any type are not excluded if they have undergone complete resection
  • Any infection except HIV or treatment with anti-infective agents within 14 days of enrollment
    • Excluding benign conditions unlikely to be affected or modulated by treatment with ixazomib, e.g. stye or furuncle
  • Pregnant or Nursing
  • Of childbearing potential
  • Men who are unwilling to use a condom (even if they have undergone a prior vasectomy) while having intercourse, while taking the drug and for 90 days after stopping ixazomib
  • Any history of peripheral neuropathy, or peripheral neuropathy detected during the screening period.
  • Major surgery within 14 days before study registration
  • Systemic treatment with strong CYP3A inducers (rifampin, rifapentine, rifabutin,carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital), or use of St. John's wort
  • Evidence of current uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions, including serious cardiac arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, angina, or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months
  • QTc > 450 milliseconds (msec) for men and >470 milliseconds for women (83) on a 12 lead ECG obtained during the screening period
  • Known hepatitis B DNA positive status and/or HBsAg positive and/or HBeAg positive, or active hepatitis C replication (HCV RNA positive) or currently on hepatitis C treatment
  • Known history of cirrhosis or active liver inflammation, including "fatty liver" or non-alcohol steatohepatitis (NASH)
  • Any serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the investigator's opinion, potentially interfere with the completion of treatment according to this protocol
  • Known allergy to any of the study medications, their analogues or excipients in the various formulations
  • Any other recent or concurrent medical condition that, in the Investigator's opinion, would impose any risk to the patient
  • Known GI disease or GI procedure that could interfere with the oral absorption or tolerance of ixazomib including difficulty swallowing
  • Participation in other clinical trials, including those with other investigational agents not included in this trial, within 30 days of the start of this trial and throughout the duration of this trial
