About this trial
Study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and antiretroviral activity of a new therapeutic strategy, based on the administration of dasatinib, an ITK, in patients with recent (3-12 months) asymptomatic HIV-1 infection.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Safety and tolerance of dasatinib with and without antiretroviral therapy, measured by number of AEs and SAEs
Measured by number of AEs and SAEs
Secondary outcomes
Antiretroviral capacity of dasatinib
Measured by quantification of plasma HIV-1 viral load during 4-week administration of dasatinib monotherapy.
Changes in the viral reservoirs of patients with recent HIV-1 infection induced by dasatinib administration.
Measured by changes in the viral reservoirs (integrated DNA, genetically intact virus, residual and induced viral replication and determination of integration sites)
Changes in markers of inflammation and immune activation induced by dasatinib administration.
Measured by changes in ultra-sensitive CRP, IL6, TNF alpha and CD4/CD8, CD25, CD69, CD38, HLA-DR+.
Changes in SAMHD1 phosphorylation levels and cytotoxic activity against HIV-1 induced by dasatinib.
Measured by NK phenotyping and in vitro replication inhibition tests.
