Impact of HIV kick-and-kill therapy on host epigenetic and transcriptional programs in PBMC, and viral rebound after cART interruption

Background: BCN02 was a pilot kick-and-kill clinical trial that combined therapeutic vaccination (MVA.HIVconsv) with the latency reversing agent romidepsin (RMD) followed by a monitored antiretroviral pause (MAP) in 15 early-treated HIV+ individuals (NCT02616874). Out of 12 evaluable participants fo...

Description
Summary:Background: BCN02 was a pilot kick-and-kill clinical trial that combined therapeutic vaccination (MVA.HIVconsv) with the latency reversing agent romidepsin (RMD) followed by a monitored antiretroviral pause (MAP) in 15 early-treated HIV+ individuals (NCT02616874). Out of 12 evaluable participants for an omics subanalysis, 8 participants showed early (pVL > 2000 copies/mL < 4 weeks) and 4 a more delayed viral rebound (pVL > 2000 copies/mL > 4 weeks) in MAP. Systems biology analyses identified epigenetic and molecular mechanisms associated with response to vaccination and RMD and viral rebound kinetics.
