Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to find out whether an experimental autologous dendritic cell vaccine is safe, well tolerated, and whether it can strengthen the immune system's response to HIV.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a randomized trial to evaluate whether mRNA-transfected dendritic cell vaccination is safe and immunogenic in HIV-infected participants who are on antiretroviral therapy.
