About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Placebo-Controlled Study Extension to HVTN 073 / SAAVI 102, to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of Novartis Sub C gp140 Vaccine With MF59 Adjuvant, as a Boost Following SAAVI DNA-C2 Vaccine and SAAVI MVA-C Vaccine, in HIV Uninfected Healthy Adult Participants in South Africa and the United States

This is an extension of the HVTN 073/SAAVI 102 study. This study will evaluate the safety and immune response to an HIV envelope protein vaccine boost in people who have previously received the SAAVI DNA-C2 and SAAVI MVA-C vaccines or placebo in the HVTN 073/SAAVI 102 study.

Read the detailed description

The HVTN 073/SAAVI 102 study is evaluating the safety of two experimental HIV vaccines-SAAVI DNA-C2 and SAAVI MVA-C-given sequentially as a prime-boost regimen in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults. This is an extension of that study and will enroll people who participated in the HVTN 073/SAAVI 102 study. Previous studies have shown that a protein vaccine boost to an HIV vaccine may improve antibody responses. This study will evaluate the safety and immune response to an HIV envelope protein vaccine-the Sub C gp140 vaccine with MF59 adjuvant-in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults who have previously participated in the HVTN 073/SAAVI 102 study. Study researchers will explore whether the addition of a protein boost vaccine to the SAAVI DNA-C2 and SAAVI MVA-C vaccine regimen improves antibody response.

This study will enroll people who participated in the HVTN 073/SAAVI 102 study,regardless of whether they received vaccine or placebo. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the Sub C gp140 vaccine with MF59 adjuvant or a placebo injection during study visits at baseline and Month 3. At the baseline and Month 3 visits, participants will undergo a physical examination, HIV testing and counseling, pregnancy testing for female participants, interviews and questionnaires, risk reduction counseling, and blood collection (at the baseline visit only). They will then receive their assigned vaccine or placebo as one injection in their upper arm. Participants will remain in the clinic for 30 minutes after receiving the vaccination for observation and monitoring. For 3 days after the vaccination, participants will record any side effects in a symptom log and make contact daily with the study site staff.

Additional study visits will occur at Weeks 1 and 2, 1 and 2 weeks after the Month 3 visit, and Months 6 and 9. At these visits, select baseline study procedures will occur. At Month 15, study staff will contact participants for follow-up health monitoring. Participants will then complete any annual health contacts for the original HVTN 073/SAAVI 102 study.

    Measured: Measured through Month 15

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. HIV-1-specific neutralizing and binding antibody assays at 2 weeks following vaccination with Novartis Sub C gp140 with MF59

    Measured: Measured at Months 0.5, 3.5 and 9

  2. Neutralizing antibody breadth against heterologous primary isolates

    Measured: Measured at Months 0.5, 3.5 and 9

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sub C gp140 Vaccine, MF59C.1 Adjuvant and Sodium chloride in people with HIV Infections, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 4 sites in 2 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 14 inclusion and 3 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 14 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States, South Africa. 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 data, including signs and symptoms of local and systemic reactogenicity, laboratory measures of safety, adverse events (AEs), and AEs requiring expedited adverse event (EAE) reporting to DAIDS (time frame: Measured through Month 15). 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 NCT01423825, which also lists 4 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 14 Oct 2021.
