Summary
This trial will test whether it is safe to give a person with leukemia a new treatment that uses their own stem cells.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for HIV-1 infected patients under 75 years old, with controlled virus levels due to consistent antiretroviral therapy (cART) for at least a year, and specific CD4+ T-cell counts. They must not have significant heart issues or psychosocial conditions affecting study participation. Excluded are those with active hepatitis, pregnant or nursing women, recent investigational drug use, substance abuse history, certain hematologic diseases, recent opportunistic infections or malignancies.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety of SB-728mR-HSPC infusion in HIV/AIDS patients after busulfan conditioning. SB-728mR-HSPC is a genetically modified stem/progenitor cell product aimed at altering the immune system to resist HIV more effectively.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the infusion process itself and complications from busulfan conditioning like lowered blood counts leading to increased infection risk. Genetic modification might also pose risks that will be closely monitored.
