About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Multiclade HIV-1 DNA Plasmid Vaccine Followed by Recombinant, Multiclade HIV-1 Adenoviral Vector Vaccine or the Multiclade HIV-1 Adenoviral Vector Vaccine Alone in Healthy Adult Volunteers Not Infected With HIV

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of and immune response to an investigational HIV vaccine, VRC-HIVADV014-00-VP, with or without a second investigational HIV vaccine, VRC-HIVDNA016-00-VP, in HIV uninfected adults.

Read the detailed description

The worldwide HIV/AIDS epidemic may only be controlled through development of a safe and effective vaccine that will prevent HIV infection. This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of an experimental adenovirus-vectored multiclade HIV vaccine, VRC-HIVADV014-00-VP, followed with either a similarly structured DNA plasmid HIV vaccine, VRC-HIVDNA016-00-VP, or a placebo. The DNA plasmids in both vaccines code for proteins from HIV subtypes A, B, and C, which together represent 90% of new HIV infections in the world. HIV uninfected volunteers will be recruited in Kenya and Rwanda.

Volunteers will participate in this study for 1 year. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups:

  • Group A participants will receive a low dose of the adenovirus-vectored vaccine or placebo at study entry.
  • Group B participants will receive a higher dose of the adenovirus-vectored vaccine or placebo at study entry.
  • Group C participants will receive the DNA plasmid vaccine or placebo at study entry and Months 1 and 2. They will receive either a low dose of the adenovirus-vectored vaccine or placebo at Month 6.
  • Group D participants will receive the DNA plasmid vaccine or placebo at study entry and Months 1 and 2. They will receive either a higher dose of the adenovirus-vectored vaccine or placebo at Month 6.

All participants will undergo vital signs measurements before and after receiving each vaccination.

Participants in Groups A and B will have 9 study visits over 12 months. A physical exam, adverse events reporting, and medical and medication history will occur at each visit. HIV testing and counseling and blood and urine collection will occur at selected visits.

Participants in Groups C and D will have 17 study visits over 12 months. A physical exam, adverse events reporting, and medical and medication history will occur at each visit. HIV testing and counseling and blood and urine collection will occur at selected visits.

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • VRC-HIVADV014-00-VPBiological

  • VRC-HIVDNA016-00-VPBiological

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Local reactogenicity signs and symptoms

  2. systemic reactogenicity signs and symptoms

  3. laboratory measures of safety

  4. adverse and serious adverse experiences

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Proportion of volunteers who have HIV-1 specific T-cell responses quantified by intracellular cytokine staining (ICS; both CD4+ and CD8+) and ELISPOT and magnitude of the responses

  2. proportion of volunteers with HIV-1 specific antibodies and magnitude of the response

  3. proportion of volunteers with increase in antibodies to rAd5

  4. impact of pre-existing immunity to rAd5 on immunogenicity

  5. proportion of volunteers who test "false positive" on standard HIV testing algorithm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing VRC-HIVADV014-00-VP and VRC-HIVDNA016-00-VP in people with HIV Infections, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 17 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 1 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Kenya, Rwanda. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Local reactogenicity signs and symptoms. The study lists 4 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 NCT00124007, which also lists 5 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 1 Nov 2021.
