About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 First-in-human Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of 3BNC117-LS in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected Individuals

The proposed study is a phase 1 study of the mAb 3BNC117-LS administered intravenously in HIV uninfected individuals and HIV-infected individuals, and subcutaneously in HIV-uninfected individuals.The objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of a single administration of 3BNC117-LS.

Read the detailed description

The proposed study is a Phase 1, open label, dose escalation cohort study of 3BNC117-LS administered intravenously in HIV-uninfected and HIV-1 infected participants.

This study consists of two parts. In part A, study participants will be enrolled in an open label manner to receive a single intravenous infusion of 3BNC117-LS at one of three increasing dose levels (3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg). Participants in Part B will also receive a single administration of 3BNC117-LS, however, the product administered in Part B of the study derives from a new manufacturing lot. The manufacturing lot used in Part A had incomplete glycosylation of the 3BNC117-LS light chain, which has been corrected in the new lot. Participants in Part B will receive 3BNC117-LS intravenously at 30 mg/kg in an open label manner (HIV-uninfected and HIV-infected) or will be randomized to receive a subcutaneous injection of 3BNC117-LS or placebo in a double-blinded fashion (HIV-uninfected only).

Part A has already been enrolled with 21 participants. Part B has a planned enrollment of 22 participants.

Part A

  • Group 1A (n=3-6) - HIV-uninfected individuals will be administered one infusion of 3BNC117-LS dosed at 3 mg/kg.
  • Group 1B (n=3-6) - HIV-uninfected individuals will be administered one infusion of 3BNC117-LS dosed at 10 mg/kg.
  • Group 1C (n=3-6) - HIV-uninfected individuals will be administered one infusion of 3BNC117-LS dosed at 30 mg/kg.
  • Group 2B (n=6) - HIV-infected individuals on ART with HIV-1 plasma RNA levels < 20 copies/ml or off ART for at least 8 weeks with HIV-1 plasma RNA levels < 100,000 copies/ml, will be administered one infusion of 3BNC117-LS dosed at 10 mg/kg.
  • Group 2C (n=6) - HIV-infected individuals on ART with HIV-1 plasma RNA levels < 20 copies/ml, or off ART for at least 8 weeks with HIV-1 plasma RNA levels < 100,000 copies/ml, will be administered one infusion of 3BNC117-LS dosed at 30 mg/kg.

Part B

  • Group 1D (n=3) - HIV-uninfected individuals will be administered one infusion of 3BNC117-LS dosed at 30 mg/kg.
  • Group 2D (n=3) - HIV-infected individuals on ART with HIV-1 plasma RNA levels < 20 copies/ml will be administered one infusion of 3BNC117-LS dosed at 30 mg/kg.
  • Group 1E (n=8) - HIV-uninfected individuals will be administered a single 1 mL (approximately 150 mg) subcutaneous injection of 3BNC117-LS or placebo in a 3:1 ratio.
  • Group 1F (n=8) - HIV-uninfected individuals will be administered a single 2 mL (approximately 300 mg) subcutaneous injection of 3BNC117-LS or placebo in a 3:1 ratio.

Following 3BNC117-LS infusion, study participants will return for safety assessments at weeks 1, 2 and 4 following infusion, then bi-monthly or monthly until the end of study follow up.

Serum samples for PK (pharmacokinetic) measurements will be collected before 3BNC117-LS infusion, at the end of the infusion, and at multiple time points during study follow up.

Samples will also be collected for measurement of HIV-1 plasma RNA levels before 3BNC117-LS infusion (screen, pre-infusion and day 0) and at all follow up visits in Groups 2B and 2C.

All participants will be followed for 48 weeks after 3BNC117-LS administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 3BNC117-LS in people with Human Immunodeficiency Virus, run by Rockefeller University 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 11 inclusion and 41 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 20 May 2026. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 May 2026). 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?

The Number of Participants Who Experience Adverse Events Within 2 Weeks After 3BNC117-LS Infusion in All Study Groups (time frame: 2 weeks following the 3BNC117-LS infusion). The study lists 2 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 NCT03254277, 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 20 May 2026.
