Cenicriviroc (INN,[1] code names TAK-652, TBR-652, commonly abbreviated as CVC) is an experimental drug candidate for the treatment of HIV infection[2] and in combination with Tropifexor for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.[3] It is being developed by Takeda and Tobira Therapeutics.[citation needed]

Cenicriviroc is an inhibitor of CCR2 and CCR5 receptors,[4] allowing it to function as an entry inhibitor which prevents the virus from entering into a human cell. Inhibition of CCR2 may have an anti-inflammatory effect.[citation needed]

A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study to assess the antiviral activity, safety, and tolerability of cenicriviroc was conducted in 2010. HIV-infected patients taking cenicriviroc had significant reductions in viral load, with the effect persisting up to two weeks after discontinuation of treatment.[5] Additional Phase II clinical trials are underway.[6][when?]

Cenicriviroc is also in two separate clinical trials for COVID-19: the ACTIV-I trial run by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, where it is compared with a number of other immunomodulatory agents,[7] and the Charité Trial of Cenicriviroc at the Charité Hospital in Berlin.[8] As of 2 July 2021, both trials are recruiting participants, and are expected to complete in September 2021.[citation needed]

Phase IIb data presented at the 20th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) in March 2013 showed similar viral suppression rates of 76% for patients taking 100 mg cenicriviroc, 73% with 200 mg cenicriviroc, and 71% with efavirenz. Non-response rates were higher with cenicriviroc, however, largely due to greater drop-out of patients. A new tablet formulation with lower pill burden may improve adherence. Looking at immune and inflammatory biomarkers, levels of MCP-1 increased and soluble CD14 decreased in the cenicriviroc arms.[9]
