About this study

Official title: A Phase I Double-Blind, Randomized, Dose Escalating, Placebo-Controlled, Study of Safety and Immunogenicity of WRAIR/NIH Live Recombinant MVA-CMDR (HIV-1 CM235 Env/ CM240 Gag/Pol) Administered by Intramuscular (IM) or Intradermal (ID) Route In HIV-Uninfected Adults

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and the immune responses to the HIV vaccine candidate, MVA-CMDR. This vaccine was designed to induce immune responses to three HIV "passenger" genes encoded with the viral vector, MVA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MVA-CMDR in people with HIV Infections, run by U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command at 1 site 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 15 inclusion and 21 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 16 Oct 2017. 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 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. 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 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?

Safety and Tolerability (time frame: Study Day 0 through 8 months post-vaccination). 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 NCT00376090, 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 16 Oct 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
