About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of HIV Vaccine 732462 in ART-naïve HIV-1 Infected Persons

This study is designed to determine whether administration of the GSK Biologicals HIV vaccine 732462 can lead to a reduction in viral load, and impact on the course of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. In HIV-1 infected persons who have not yet started antiretroviral therapy (ART), such a vaccine would potentially lead to a delay in the initiation of treatment.

Conditions: AIDS
Being tested: GSK Biologicals HIV Vaccine 732462, Placebo
Keywords: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-1, safety, vaccine, immunogenicity, reactogenicity, HIV infection
Medical subject headings: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, HIV Infections

What is being measured

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

Geometric Mean Change in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Viral Load (VL) From Baseline

Baseline of HIV-1 viral load was defined as geometric mean of values measured in blood samples taken at Screening and at Week 0. The HIV type 1, represents the more aggressive virus form, largely responsible for the AIDS pandemic.
Measured: At Week 48, post-Dose 3
Geometric Mean Change in HIV-1 VL From Baseline
Changes from baseline in HIV-1 viral load (difference of each value minus baseline value) were obtained using log10-transformed values and expressed in log10-RNA copies/mL. Baseline of HIV-1 viral load was defined as geometric mean of values measured in blood samples taken at Screening and at Week 0. The HIV type 1, represents the more aggressive virus form, largely responsible for the AIDS pandemic.
Measured: At Week 48, post-Dose 3

Primary outcome

Geometric Mean Change in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Viral Load (VL) From Baseline
Time frame: At Week 48, post-Dose 3
Changes from baseline in HIV-1 viral load (ratio of each value over baseline value) were obtained using crude values and expressed in RNA copies/milliliter [copies/mL]. Baseline of HIV-1 viral load was defined as geometric mean of values measured in blood samples taken at Screening and at Week 0. The HIV type 1, represents the more aggressive virus form, largely responsible for the AIDS pandemic.
Geometric Mean Change in HIV-1 VL From Baseline
Time frame: At Week 48, post-Dose 3
Changes from baseline in HIV-1 viral load (difference of each value minus baseline value) were obtained using log10-transformed values and expressed in log10-RNA copies/mL. Baseline of HIV-1 viral load was defined as geometric mean of values measured in blood samples taken at Screening and at Week 0. The HIV type 1, represents the more aggressive virus form, largely responsible for the AIDS pandemic.

An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination. Grade 3 (G3) AE = an AE which prevented normal, everyday activities. Related = AE assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination. Unsolicited AEs were tabulated following Dose 1 and Dose 2 vaccinations.
Number of Subjects With Unsolicited AEs
Time frame: During the 28-Day (Days 0-27) post-vaccination period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GSK Biologicals HIV Vaccine 732462 in people with AIDS, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 42 sites in 4 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 13 inclusion and 26 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 21 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 42 sites in United States, France, Germany, Spain. 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 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 21 May 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?

Geometric Mean Change in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Viral Load (VL) From Baseline (time frame: At Week 48, post-Dose 3). The study lists 23 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 NCT01218113.

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 21 May 2018.
