Trial summary

Ibalizumab is a monoclonal antibody that works by blocking HIV entry into the immune system cells (CD4+ or T-cells) the virus typically infects. Ibalizumab is intended for use in combination with other anti-HIV drugs in people with multi-drug resistant HIV and limited treatment options. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Expanded Access Study of Ibalizumab Plus an Optimized Background Regimen (OBR) in Treatment-Experienced Patients Infected With Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) HIV-1

Ibalizumab is a monoclonal antibody that works by blocking HIV entry into the immune system cells (CD4+ or T-cells) the virus typically infects. Ibalizumab is intended for use in combination with other anti-HIV drugs in people with multi-drug resistant HIV and limited treatment options. This study will collect further information on the safety and tolerability of intravenously administered (IV) ibalizumab combined with an optimized background regimen for treating multi-drug resistant HIV-1 infection, and will provide continuing access to ibalizumab for patients completing a prior ibalizumab clinical trial.

Read the detailed description

Participants will enroll into one of two study cohorts. Cohort 1 will provide continued administration of IV ibalizumab for patients completing a prior ibalizumab clinical trial (TaiMed-sponsored or Investigator-Sponsored). Patients will continue to receive IV infusions of ibalizumab at the dosage assigned in the previous study - either 800 mg once every two weeks, or 2000 mg once every four weeks.

Cohort 2 will provide IV ibalizumab, 800 mg once every two weeks, for qualifying patients with multi-drug resistant HIV-1 and limited treatment options who have never previously received ibalizumab.

Participants may continue in this study for 48 weeks, or until ibalizumab becomes commercially available, whichever occurs first.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ibalizumabDrug

    Also called TNX-355, Hu5A8

    Intravenous infusion of humanized monoclonal antibody binding with a region of Domain 2 of CD4 receptor, blocking post-attachment conformational changes necessary for HIV cell entry

  • Optimized Background RegimenDrug

    Also called antiretroviral therapy

    An investigator-selected, standard-of-care combination regimen of antiretroviral agents for treating HIV-1 infection, selected based upon patient treatment history and the results of previous viral resistance testing. The combination must contain at least one agent other than ibalizumab to which the patient's virus is sensitive (susceptible).

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Suppression to <50 Copies With Ibalizumab + OBR (Cohort 2 Only)

    Number of patients in Cohort 2 with HIV-1 RNA levels <50 copies/mL at week 48

    Measured: 48 weeks

  2. Suppression to <400 Copies by Ibalizumab + OBR (Cohort 2 Only)

    Number of patients in Cohort 2 with HIV-1 RNA levels <400 copies/mL at week 48

    Measured: 48 weeks

  3. Effectiveness of Ibalizumab + OBR by 1.0 Log10 Decrease in Viral Load From Baseline (Cohort 2 Only)

    Number of patients in Cohort 2 achieving at least a 1.0 log10 decrease in viral load from Baseline measurement at all assessment time points

    Measured: 48 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ibalizumab and Optimized Background Regimen in people with HIV, run by TaiMed Biologics Inc. at 32 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 13 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 11 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 32 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 11 Mar 2021). 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?

Safety and Tolerability of Ibalizumab + OBR (time frame: Through 48 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 Mar 2021.
