About this study

Official title: Extended Evaluation of the Virologic, Immunologic, and Clinical Course of Volunteers Who Become HIV-1 Infected During Participation in a Phase III Vaccine Trial of ALVAC-HIV and AIDSVAX® B/E.

This protocol will study the clinical course of HIV-infection among volunteers who have received either a placebo injection or the experimental vaccine combination of ALVAC-HIV and AIDSVAX B/E prior to HIV-1 infection in reference to study NCT00223080 RV144. The study will assess whether those who received the experimental vaccine combination have a slower progression of HIV disease compared to those who received the placebo injection.

Read the detailed description

Prospective cohort study of the clinical course of HIV-1 infection occurring after candidate HIV-1 vaccination (breakthrough infection) with ALVAC-HIV (vcP1521) and AIDSVAX B/E in reference to study NCT00223080 RV144. This study will enroll volunteers who become HIV-infected during the course of follow up in a phase III preventive HIV vaccine trial conducted in Rayong and Chon Buri, Thailand. Volunteers will be enrolled in this protocol to provide additional long-term follow up to establish whether differences in viral load after infection (comparing vaccine to placebo) are associated with altered disease outcomes, as well as provide more detailed immunologic and virologic assessment of these volunteers.

After enrollment in RV152, follow-up visits were scheduled at 0, 1, 3, and 6 months, and every 3 months thereafter. After month 12, CD4+ T cell counts and viral load were obtained at 6-month intervals until the CD4+ T cell count declined to <350/ul or highly-active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) was initiated, at which time CD4+ T cell counts and viral load were obtained every 3 months. Peripartum antiretroviral drugs given for prevention of mother-to-child-transmission was not considered a study endpoint, however HAART initiated during pregnancy and continued post-partum was counted. After a single CD4+ T-cell count < 350/ul a second sample was requested about 2 weeks later, and if the confirmatory measurement was >350/ul, a study endpoint was not registered and the volunteer resumed a normal visit schedule. A single genital fluid collection for viral load was obtained at the first RV152 visit. Clinical and laboratory data from RV144, including CD4+ T-cell and HIV-1 plasma viral load measurements, were linked to RV152 to inform primary and secondary protocol analyses as well as volunteer care and treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Reaching Clinical Long Term Component Endpoints

    Evaluate the vaccine effect on clinical long term endpoints: CD4 is for CD4<350 endpoint; ART is for initiation of highly-active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) endpoint; ADI is for AIDS-defining illness endpoint; A combination of multiple endpoints is listed in order of occurrences of the endpoints

    Measured: 66 months

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2018. 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 Thailand. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Aug 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants Reaching Clinical Long Term Component Endpoints (time frame: 66 months). 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 NCT00337181, 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 22 Aug 2018.
