Phase II Trial of Tesamorelin for Cognition in Aging HIV-Infected Persons
“A 16-Week Study Phase 2a Study of Topical Pirenzepine (WST-057) or Placebo to treat HIV-Associated Distal Sensory Polyneuropathy (DSP) in Patients with HIV (PWH)”
Tesamorelin is an injectable medication already approved by the U.S. FDA to treat abdominal fat accumulation in HIV. Abdominal fat accumulation is linked to memory and thinking difficulties, and previous studies have suggested that tesamorelin also may be beneficial for memory and thinking, but this has not been tested in HIV.
This is a randomized trial in which participants will have a 60% chance of initially receiving tesamorelin (the Immediate group) and a 40% chance of initially receiving no treatment (the Deferred group) for 6 months. Subsequently, those who initially received no treatment will receive tesamorelin and those who initially received tesamorelin will receive no treatment for 6 months.
This study includes text messaging, memory and thinking assessments, blood draws, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the head and abdomen.
