About this study

Official title: Comparison of HIV-1 Epitopes That May be Recognized by HLA-B*3501 (PY) and -B*3503 (Px) Early After Seroconversion and After Development of AIDS

This study will identify variations in the genome of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) early after infection and following the development of AIDS. It will analyze genetic material and clinical data from HIV-positive individuals to assess differences in viral epitopes between patients with two different gene alleles (alternative forms of a gene)-B*3501 and B*3503. (An epitope is a molecular region on the surface of an antigen capable of eliciting an immune response and of combining with the specific antibody produced by such a response.)

HIV disease in people with the B*3503 allele progresses significantly faster than it does in people with the B*3501 allele. This study might provide information that is potentially useful in developing a successful HIV vaccine.

Blood samples and clinical data for analysis will be obtained from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health; the University of Pittsburgh; the John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County; the Howard Brown Health Center; Northwestern University; and the University of California at Los Angeles.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to identify variations in the genome of HIV early after infection and following the development of AIDS to determine the location of escape mutations that might provide information about potential B*35 epitopes. These data will be useful in explaining the difference in disease progression between individuals possessing B*35 Px alleles and those with B*35 PY alleles. We have previously shown that individuals with B*35 Px alleles progress at a significantly faster rate compared to those with B*35 PY alleles. This study might provide information which is potentially useful in the development of a successful HIV vaccine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV-1 and AIDS, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 1 inclusion and 0 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 May 2012. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 NCT00340223, 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 10 May 2012.
