Study Summary

This phase II study was done in HIV-infected participants on antiretroviral therapy to evaluate the effects of isotretinoin (a drug that is approved for use in the treatment of severe acne) on the immune system. The immune system helps the body fight infections. When the immune system is not working well, one may be at greater risk for diseases that are common in aging, like heart disease, weaker bones, and kidney disease.

Primary Outcome

Level of CD8+ T-cell activation was determined by measuring the percentage of CD8+ T-cells that expressed both the activation marker CD38+ and Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR+. The endpoint is measuring the change from baseline to week 14/16, where baseline is defined as the average of pre-entry and entry, and week 14/16 is defined as the average of week 14 and week 16. Change = (week 14/16 - baseline).
