About this study

Official title: A Dose-ranging Study to Compare the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Candidate Human Deficiency Virus (HIV) Vaccine 732461, Adjuvanted or Not, Administered According to a 0, 1 Month Schedule to Healthy Adult HIV Seronegative Volunteers.

GSK has constructed a new HIV immunogen comprised of conserved parts of the HIV virus (gag, pol and nef). The principal objectives of this study are to evaluate the reactogenicity and safety of this candidate vaccine with or without a GSK proprietary adjuvant system at three different doses and to evaluate the CD4+ T-cell response in terms of proportion of responders to the antigens two weeks after the second vaccination.

Read the detailed description

This is a single center, observer-blind, randomized, dose-escalating, staggered study with 6 groups: 3 groups of 50 subjects receiving the adjuvanted candidate vaccine, at 3 different doses and 3 groups of 10 subjects receiving the non-adjuvanted candidate vaccine in water for injection, at 3 different doses. The vaccination schedule will be 0-1 month. Blood samples will be collected at 8 visits. The duration of the study will be approximately 14 months for each subject. Rationale for Protocol Posting Amendment: The third vaccination will be cancelled and the visit at Month 7 will be postponed to Month 9. The Protocol Posting has also been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms

    Assessed solicited local symptoms were pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain = pain that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 50 millimeters (mm) of injection site.

    Antigen-specific CD4+ T-cells can express cluster of differentiation 40-ligand (CD40-L) and produce the cytokines Interleukin 2 (IL-2) and/or Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α) and/or Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). The frequency of antigen specific CD4+T-cells was calculated as the difference between the frequency of CD4+T-cells producing at least 2 cytokines (among IFN-g, IL-2, TNF-a and/or CD40L), upon in vitro stimulation with the peptide pools derived from the antigen minus the frequency of CD4+T-cells producing at least 2 cytokines upon in vitro stimulation in medium only.A responder was a subject with an antigen-stimulated CD4+T cells response greater than or equal to the cut-off value. The same cut-off value was used for all subjects and all antigen responses post-vaccination. It was calculated from the pre-vaccination CD4+T cell responses (the frequency of antigen-stimulated CD4+T cells expressing at least two markers; i.e. all doubles) for all subjects.

    Measured: At Day 44

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Frequency of p17, p24, Nef and RT-specific CD4+ T-cells Expressing IL-2 and at Least Another Marker

    Antigen-specific CD4+ T-cells can express CD40 ligand (CD40-L) and produce the cytokines Interleukin 2 (IL-2) and/or Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α) and/or Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). Frequency of CD4+ T-cells expressing markers in response to the F4co fusion protein (all antigens) was estimated by adding individual frequencies of CD4+ T-cells to each of the 4 antigens (p17, p24, Nef, RT). Results are presented as determined by Intracellular Cytokine Staining (ICS).

    Measured: At Month 0, Day 44, Month 2, Month 6 and Month 12

  2. Frequency of p17, p24, Nef and RT-specific CD4+ T-cells Expressing at Least 2 Immune Markers

    Antigen-specific CD4+ T-cells can express CD40 ligand (CD40-L) and produce the cytokines Interleukin 2 (IL-2) and/or Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α) and/or Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). Frequency of CD4+ T-cells expressing markers in response to the F4co fusion protein (all antigens) was estimated by adding individual frequencies of CD4+ T-cells to each of the 4 antigens (p17, p24, Nef, RT). Results are presented as determined by Intracellular Cytokine Staining (ICS).

    Measured: At Month 0, Day 44, Month 2, Month 6 and Month 12

  3. Antibody Titers Against p17, p24, Nef, RT and F4co Antigens

    Anti-p17, -p24, -Nef, -RT and -F4co antibody titers were measured by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs).

    Measured: At Month 0, Day 44, Month 2, Month 6 and Month 12

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 7 inclusion and 30 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 Oct 2019. 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 Belgium. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Oct 2019). 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 Subjects With Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms (time frame: During the 7-day (Days 0-6) follow-up period after each vaccination and overall (across doses)). The study lists 12 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 NCT00434512, which also lists 3 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 Oct 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
