Adding Maraviroc to Antiretroviral Therapy for Suboptimal CD4 T-Cell Recovery Despite Sustained Virologic Suppression

Summary

Despite viral suppression, antiretroviral therapy (ART) does not restore CD4+ T-cell counts in some subjects. The purpose of this study is to assess whether adding maraviroc (MVC) to a suppressive ART will result in a significant CD4+ T-cell count increase over 24 weeks in subjects with suboptimal CD4+ T-cell recovery despite sustained virologic suppression.
