About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous CD34+ Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells Transduced With Placebo or an Anti-HIV-1 Ribozyme (OZ1) in Patients With HIV-1 Infection

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of administration of a cell-delivered ribozyme gene transfer product to participants with chronic (lasting a long time) Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) infection (a life-threatening infection which you can get from an infected person's blood or from having sex with an infected person).

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized (study drug assigned by chance), double-blind (neither the participant nor the physician know the study medication drug name), placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test if the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial) controlled study to investigate safety and efficacy of administration of autologous cluster of differentiation 34 (CD34+) cells transduced with placebo or an anti-HIV-ribozyme (OZ1) in participants with HIV-1 infection. The total study duration will be 100 weeks and will include following visits: screening, pre-infusion Days 1-7, Day 8, Week 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96 and 100. Before the administration of CD34+ final cell product, a number of procedures will be performed, including the injection of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to mobilize the CD34+ cells, apheresis and the transduction of the CD34+ cells with either OZ1 or placebo. Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will receive OZ1-containing CD34+ cells, the other group will receive CD34+ cells alone and will receive a single intravenous infusion (a fluid or a medicine delivered into a vein by way of a needle) of CD34+ cells transduced with either placebo or OZ1 gene transfer product. The final cell product contains approximately 2-20 x 10^7 cells/kilogram autologous CD34+ cell suspension transduced with either placebo or OZ1 gene transfer product. Primary efficacy will be assessed primarily by the amount of HIV ribonucleic acid (RNA) (viral load). Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing OZ1 and CD34+ cells in people with HIV-1, run by Janssen-Cilag Pty Ltd at 1 site in Australia.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 20 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Australia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference in viral load between the placebo and OZ1 groups. (time frame: Week 47). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00074997, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Jun 2016.
