About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine, in obese insulin resistant subjects, the effect of maraviroc therapy, a selective antagonist of the human chemokine receptor CCR5, on:

  • Plasma triglyceride concentration
  • Plasma HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentrations
  • Plasma markers of cardiometabolic risk and inflammation

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • obese (body mass index (BMI) between 30 and 45.9)
  • increased plasma triglyceride concentrations (150-400 mg/dL)

Exclusion criteria

  • active or previous infection with hepatitis B or C
  • history of alcohol abuse
  • current alcohol consumption (>20g/day)
  • severe hypertriglyceridemia (>400 mg/dL)
  • active peptic ulcer disease
  • diabetes
  • pregnant or lactating
  • take statins, fibrates, niacin, moderate to strong Cyp3A4 inhibitors or inducers, or any other medication that might confound interpretation of the study results will be excluded.

Treatment and study plan

Maraviroc

Drug

dosage will be a 300mg Maraviroc pill twice a day for 12 weeks

Other names: Selzentry, Celsentri

Placebo

Other

subjects will be given placebo pills with instructions to take one pill twice a day for 12 weeks.

Other names: control

Primary outcomes

  1. effect of Maraviroc on plasma triglyceride concentration

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    We will compare pre and post-treatment serum triglyceride concentrations in subjects receiving a 12 week course of either Maraviroc or placebo.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Effect of Maraviroc on serum HDL concentration

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    We will compare pre and post-treatment serum HDL concentrations in subjects receiving a 12 week course of either Maraviroc or placebo.

  2. effect of Maraviroc on serum LDL-cholesterol concentration

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    We will compare pre and post-treatment serum LDL-cholesterol concentrations in subjects receiving a 12 week course of either Maraviroc or placebo.

  3. Effect of Maraviroc on plasma markers of cardiometabolic risk and inflammation

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    We will compare pre and post-treatment plasma concentrations of C-reactive protein and InterLeukin-6 in subjects receiving a 12 week course of either Maraviroc or placebo.
