An Open-Label, Pilot Study Utilizing CD4 T-Cell Counts Lower Than 350 Cells/mm3 as the Threshold for Restarting Therapy With Potent Antiretroviral Therapy With or Without Interleukin-2 to Determine the Effect of Pulse Therapy on the Characteristics of Treatment Interruptions
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) helps the body make infection-fighting white blood cells, including CD4 and CD8 T cells. One HIV treatment strategy is planned treatment interruption (stopping anti-HIV drugs when CD4 count and level of virus in the blood are at certain levels). The purpose of this study is to see if IL-2 used with potent anti-HIV drugs allows for longer HIV treatment interruptions.
