Optimization of Antiretroviral Therapy in Patients With AIDS-Related Lymphoma

China60 participantsStarted 2026-05-26

Plain-language summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different antiretroviral therapy (ART) strategies in adults with AIDS-related lymphoma (ARL) receiving anti-lymphoma treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does long-acting injectable ART, including albuvirtide (ABT) or long-acting cabotegravir/rilpivirine (CAB/RPV), improve virological suppression compared with oral ART during anti-lymphoma treatment? Do different ART strategies differ in immune recovery, virological failure, low-level viremia, and safety in patients with ARL? Researchers will compare three treatment strategies-oral ART alone, oral ART plus long-acting albuvirtide (ABT), and long-acting cabotegravir/rilpivirine (CAB/RPV)-to determine whether long-acting injectable ART provides better virological control and comparable safety during lymphoma treatment. Participants will: Receive one of three ART strategies according to their clinical condition and treatment preference while receiving standard anti-lymphoma therapy. Attend scheduled study visits at baseline and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 48. Undergo plasma HIV-1 RNA testing, CD4+ T-cell count measurement, laboratory assessments, and safety evaluations throughout the 48-week follow-up period. Be monitored for virological suppression, immune recovery, adverse events, and lymphoma-related clinical outcomes.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
