Abstract

Objective: To determine the long-term effects of vorinostat on safety and virological parameters in HIV-infected individuals on suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART). Design: Prospective longitudinal observational extended follow-up of 20 HIV-infected individuals on ART previously enrolled in a clinical trial of daily vorinostat 400 mg for 14 days. Extended follow-up included visits at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months postenrolment in the initial clinical trial. Methods: Cell-associated unspliced HIV RNA, total HIV DNA and plasma HIV RNA were quantified by PCR, and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells quantified by flow cytometry. Changes over time in each parameter were assessed using the Wilcoxon matched pair ..
