HIV InfectionsPhase 1NCT00000663
A Phase I Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Recombinant CD4 Immunoglobulin G (rCD4-IgG) in Infants and Children With Documented HIV-1 Infection
A Phase 1 study testing CD4-IgG in people with HIV Infections, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 7 sites in United States.
Trial summary
To determine the safety profile, assess pharmacokinetic properties (blood levels), and obtain preliminary indication of the antiviral and immunologic effects of recombinant CD4 immunoglobulin G (CD4-IgG). CD4-IgG may be effective in blocking HIV transmission and spread, that is, CD4-IgG has antiviral effects. Read more about this study

About this study
To determine the safety profile, assess pharmacokinetic properties (blood levels), and obtain preliminary indication of the antiviral and immunologic effects of recombinant CD4 immunoglobulin G (CD4-IgG).
CD4-IgG may be effective in blocking HIV transmission and spread, that is, CD4-IgG has antiviral effects. Studies done in adult patients with AIDS and AIDS related complex (ARC) have shown that rCD4 can be safely administered by intravenous bolus, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. No serious or dose-limiting, drug-related toxicities have been observed to date.

No serious or dose-limiting, drug-related toxicities have been observed to date.
Patients receive one intravenous injection the first week, followed by a 6 day washout period and then intravenous injections on a twice weekly basis from week 2 to week 12. The dose per injection may vary. The study evaluates 2 groups: (1) Children 3 months to 5 years of age; (2) Infants 0-3 months of age.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing CD4-IgG in people with HIV Infections, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 7 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 27 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00000663, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jun 2005.
