Phase II Trial of ART + Dual bNAbs vs. ART + Placebo During Primary HIV-1 Infection-impact on Post-ART Control
A Randomised Phase II Placebo-controlled Trial of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Plus Dual Long-acting HIV-specific Broadly Neutralising Antibodies (bNAbs) vs ART Plus Placebo During Primary HIV-1 Infection to Study the Impact on Post-treatment HIV Control.
Phase II Trial of ART + Dual bNAbs vs. ART + Placebo During Primary HIV-1 Infection-impact on Post-ART Control (NCT05300035) is a Phase 2 interventional studying HIV/AIDS and Infections, sponsored by Anrs, Emerging Infectious Diseases. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.
About This Trial
RHIVIERA-02 trial is a placebo-controlled double-blinded two arm prospective phase II trial. This study will test the use of broadly neutralising antibodies (bNAbs) in participants, at primary HIV infection (PHI) and ART initiation.
What Stage of Research Is This?
Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against HIV/AIDS and Infections and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.
This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.
Target enrollment of 69 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused HIV/AIDS and Infections subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Treatments Being Tested
Recombinant human monoclonal antibody (bNAbs)
1. Initiation of combination ART (1 integrase inhibitor + 2 nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors) with additional dual intravenous infusions of bNAbs (3BNC117LS \& 10-1074LS) between Day 7 and Day 10. 2. Analytical treatment interruption (ATI), 52 weeks later, if good immunologic and virologic conditions. 3. During ATI, plasma HIV-1 RNA and CD4 monitoring, for a maximum of 48 weeks. 4. ART resumption, if participant encounters at least one ART resumption criteria.
Placebo
1. Initiation of combination ART (1 integrase inhibitor + 2 nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors) with additional dual intravenous infusions of placebo (saline solution) between Day 7 and Day 10. 2. Analytical treatment interruption (ATI), 52 weeks later, if good immunologic and virologic conditions. 3. During ATI, plasma HIV-1 RNA and CD4 monitoring, for a maximum of 48 weeks. 4. ART resumption, if participant encounters at least one ART resumption criteria.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial
Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT05300035), the sponsor (Anrs, Emerging Infectious Diseases), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.
Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NCT05300035 clinical trial studying?
RHIVIERA-02 trial is a placebo-controlled double-blinded two arm prospective phase II trial. This study will test the use of broadly neutralising antibodies (bNAbs) in participants, at primary HIV infection (PHI) and ART initiation. The full protocol is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and includes the primary outcome measures, eligibility criteria, and study endpoints.
Who can participate in NCT05300035?
Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.
How do I contact the trial site for NCT05300035?
Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.
Is participating in a clinical trial safe?
Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
