Trial Details
HST-NEETS are HIV-1 specific T-cells that target and attack HIV. HST-NEETS are made using your own blood-forming cells, which are then modified in a lab.
First, you’ll have apheresis, a process to collect, separate and save your blood-forming cells.
Before transplant you'll get chemo with 4 standard drugs:
- Carmustine
- Cytarabine
- Etoposide
- Melphalan
On transplant day, your own blood-forming cells are given back to you through an intravenous (IV) infusion.
After transplant, you’ll get:
- HST-NEETs – Given as an IV infusion 1 time
You'll have scans to see how well the treatment is working. The clinical trial doctors will check your health for up to 1 year.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved HST-NEETs after autologous BMT to treat HIV-related lymphoma.
