About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase I/II Trial to Compare the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of the Therapeutic THV01 Vaccination at 5.10E+6 TU (Transducing Unit) , 5.10E+7 TU (Transducing Unit) or 5.10E+8 TU (Transducing Unit) Doses to Placebo in HIV-1 Clade B Infected Patients Under Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART)

The objectives of this Phase I/II trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of THV01 compared to placebo in HIV-1 infected patients on HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapies).

THV01 is composed of two vaccines that derived from the HIV (human immunodeficiency virus): lentiviral vectors. They are non-replicative and not infectious. They will be injected intramuscularly, eight weeks apart. Three doses will be assessed and compared to placebo.

Read more

Eligible patients must have an undetectable viral load and must be treated by HAART for more than 12 months. They will be randomly allocated to one of the study group and will receive the experimental drugs at one of the three doses or a matching placebo.

Their anti-HIV treatment will be alleviated around each experimental drugs' administration to enable THV01 efficacy. HAART will be resumed one week after the second injection. 15 weeks after resumption, HAART will be interrupted. Patients will then be monitored every 2 weeks for CD4+ T cell counts and viral load as well as for thorough assessment of the elicited immune response. Stringent anti-HIV treatments resumption criteria have been implemented, based on the CD4+ T cell counts and the viral load.

38 patients were enrolled in THV01-11-01 study and received the 2 injections.

A long-term follow-up of all enrolled patients will be performed for 5 years post-prime administration. This will provide additional data on the safety and the potential long-term risks/benefits associated with THV01.

The final study report will be written after the last patient last visit in the long-term follow-up.

Read the detailed description

This Phase I/II is a randomized, double-blind and placebo controlled study to assess safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of THV01 at three doses in patients infected with the HIV-1 clade B currently on HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapies).

THV01 involves two intramuscular injections, consisting of the THV01-1 and THV01-2 lentiviral vectors, to be administered intramuscularly eight weeks apart. These lentiviral vectors are non-replicative and self-inactivating. Both encode the same HIV antigen.

36 patients were planned to be enrolled. They must be HIV-1 (clade B) infected patients, treated by HAART for more than 12 months and with an undetectable viral load.

Patients will be randomly allocated to one of the groups:

  • Group 1: patients will receive the THV01-1 and THV01-2 vaccines at 5.10E+6 TU (transducing unit) or placebo;
  • Group 2: patients will receive the THV01-1 and THV01-2 vaccines at 5.10E+7 TU (transducing unit) or placebo;
  • Group 3: patients will receive the THV01-1 and THV01-2 vaccines at 5.10E+8 TU (transducing unit) or placebo.

Hence, twelve patients will be randomized in blocks of 4 in a 3:1 ratio (vaccine:placebo) for each dose.

Experimental drugs' injection will occur at Week 0 and Week 8. HAART will be alleviated for all patients during this "vaccination phase" to enable efficient transduction of the host cells by the lentiviral vectors. Initial HAART will be resumed at Week 9.

Starting on Week 24, HAART will be interrupted. Patients will then be monitored on a very stringent rhythm. HAART resumption criteria based on the CD4+ T cell counts and the viral load have been implemented to guaranty safety of all enrolled patients.

38 patients were enrolled in THV01-11-01 study and received the 2 injections.

A long-term follow-up of all enrolled patients will be performed for 5 years after the administration of THV01-1. During this follow-up, three visits are planned per year, during which blood will be sampled. This will provide data on the long-term safety of THV01 and the potential long-term risks/benefits associated with THV01.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing THV01-1 and THV01-2 in people with HIV Infection, run by Theravectys S.A. at 11 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 10 inclusion and 28 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 11 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in France, 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 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?

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: From Week 0 to Week 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 Apr 2019.
