NCT ID:
NCT01962961
Brief Summary:
The goal of this study is to determine if n-acetylcysteine, given as PharmaNAC, reduces oxidative stress and improves vascular function in HIV-infected older adults already on HIV treatment.
Detailed Description:
The primary objective of this study is to compare 8-week changes in circulating levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), circulating levels of F2-isoprostanes, and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery in older HIV-infected adults already receiving virologically suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) who are then randomized to either NAC 900 mg twice daily, NAC 1800 mg twice daily, or placebo. The relative efficacy and safety of these two doses of NAC will be assessed.
