About this study
Official title: Clinical Study of TUTI-16 in Asymptomatic, HIV-1 Infected Subjects Effectively Controlled by Antiretroviral Therapy and the Effects on Viral Load During a Structured Treatment Interruption
This protocol represents the third in human study of TUTI-16, and is being conducted to gather additional safety and human immunogenicity (anti-HIV-1 Tat titers) data of subcutaneously administered TUTI-16.
Read the detailed description
In this study, HIV-1 infected subjects on ART, with undetectable HIV-1 viral load, will be immunized with 1mg TUTI-16 or placebo in a randomized double blind fashion (prime and 3 week boost). Three weeks after the 3 week boost (week 6) ART will be stopped. HIV-1 viral load and CD4+ T-cell levels will be determined at defined intervals through 54 weeks (48 weeks Post ART discontinuation).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing TUTI-16 (1.0 mg) in people with HIV Infections, run by Thymon, LLC 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 10 inclusion and 17 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 15 Feb 2013. 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 combined 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.
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 15 Feb 2013). 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?
Anti-Tat Antibody Titer (time frame: 54 weeks). 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 NCT01335191, 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 15 Feb 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
