 Some examples of the different combination approaches.

MethodComponentsRemarksReference(s)
Shock and killOKT3 + IL-2Clinically not effective[168]
ART + vorinostat (LRA) + AGS-004 (DC vaccine)NCT02707900
Safe but not effective
[169, 170]
ART + vorinostat (LRA) + VRC07-523LS (bNab)NCT03803605[171]
ART + vorinostat (LRA) + disulfiramNCT03198559
Evidence of latency reversal, but not safe
[172]
Venetoclax (pro-apoptotic) + anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 T cell stimulationBcl-2 antagonist[173]
CRISPRa + gRNA-VIn vitro, an effective all-in-one approach[174]
Vorinostat + acitretinRIG-I inducer
Reactivates latent HIV and induces apoptosis
[175]
LEDGINs + JQ1Inhibits the HIV-1 integrase and LEDGF/p75 interaction [167]
YSE028 + JQ1PKC activator + BET bromodomain inhibitor[176]
Block and lockdCA + ARTTat inhibitor[177]
LEDGINs + ZL0580BRD4 modulator[167, 178]
Triplitode + ART (Tenofovir + lamivudine + Lopinavir / ritonavir + raltegravir)Immune modulatorA
ZL0580 + ARTBRD4 modulator[179]
Block and clearLPA + CapivasertibAkt inhibitor[180]

CRISPRa: CRISPR activated; RIG-I: retinoic acid-inducible gene I; dCA: didehydro-cortistatin A; LRA: latency reversing agent; Akt: protein kinase B; A: NCT02219672 (not published yet).
