Hello, RIO Trial is also now on Bluesky!

The RIO study is looking at whether a new type of treatment (bNAbs) can keep HIV viral load undetectable without ART. This will involve asking all participants to stop ART for a short time.

RIO Chief Investigator, Prof Sarah Fidler, presented the RIO primary results at CROI Conference 10 Mar 2025.

Three quarters of participants who received bNAbs were able to control the virus while off their antiretroviral therapy, compared to those who received a placebo over a 20-week period.

People who receive bNAbs respond differently, some experience delayed rebound beyond 20 weeks after one dose, and some do not rebound at all. However some people still experienced early rebound despite being screened for predicted bNAb resistance.

La recherche avance ✊💉🏥
Promising results from 2 HIV cure studies using antibodies.
In one 20% of participants stayed off treatment without viral rebound for two years!
Note: This seems far more likely to result in a workable cure for all (or many) than dangerous stem cell therapy.

As RIO and other groups have shown, bNAbs may be most promising as an immunotherapeutic intervention to enhance immun rasponsew, rather than as ART treatment. #CROI2025

RIO is an international collaboration bringing together researchers from Rockefeller, Imperial College London, University of Oxford, and clinical sites across UK and Europe.

Here are some of our investigators unwinding after the #CROI2025 conference in San Francisco.

BNAbs we're safe with no serious adverse events associated with study drug or ATI.

Some participants experienced extremely high viral loads during ATI, but all achieved viral resuppression after restarting ART.

Prof Sarah Fidler presents the long-awaited results of #RIOstudy of dual bNAbs vs placebo in people with early HIV.

Pts receiving bNAbs were 91% more likely to experience viral suppression up to 20 weeks compared to placebo, and more than a third remained suppressed after two doses beyond 72 wks.

Early trial results unveiled by Imperial researchers show exciting advances in HIV treatment.

For the first time, immune-based treatments have managed to control the virus in patients for long periods, without the need for antiretrovirals.
