Unnormalized Levels of VRC07-523LS in Serum Out to Week 48, 16 Weeks After the Last Product Administration
Time frame: Measured at Visits 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (Weeks -2, 2, 16, 18, 32, 34, 48).
Pharmacokinetic - Binding Antibody Multiplex Assay (PK-BAMA) was used to measure levels of passively infused VRC07-523LS broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibody in participant sera using 5C9 anti-IDiotype antibody (anti-ID). Outcome measure is the concentration of VRC07-523LS.
IgG-normalized Levels of VRC07-523LS in Serum Out to Week 48, 16 Weeks After the Last Product Administration
Time frame: Measured at Visits 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (Weeks -2, 2, 16, 18, 32, 34, 48).
Pharmacokinetic - Binding Antibody Multiplex Assay (PK-BAMA) was used to measure levels of passively infused VRC07-523LS broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibody in participant sera using 5C9 anti-IDiotype antibody (anti-ID). Outcome measure is the IgG-normalized VRC07-523LS levels performed by dividing VRC07-523LS levels (pg/mL) by the average reference values for total IgG concentrations in serum in the USA (11,650,000 ng/mL).
Protein-normalized Levels of VRC07-523LS in Serum Out to Week 48, 16 Weeks After the Last Product Administration
Time frame: Measured at Visits 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (Weeks -2, 2, 16, 18, 32, 34, 48).
Pharmacokinetic - Binding Antibody Multiplex Assay (PK-BAMA) was used to measure levels of passively infused VRC07-523LS broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibody in participant sera using 5C9 anti-idiotype antibody (anti-ID). Outcome measure is the protein-normalized VRC07-523LS levels performed by dividing VRC07-523LS levels (pg/mL) by the total protein (ng/mL).
1 secondary outcome
Serum Concentration of ADA in Each Group Measured at Multiple Timepoints From Baseline Through the Final Study Visit
Time frame: Measured at Visits 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9 (Weeks -2, 0, 16, 32, 48). However, Tier 3 ADA titers are only assessed and reported at Visits 2 and 3 (Weeks -2 and 0) for the subset of participants who tested positive for ADA Tiers 1 and 2.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing VRC07-523LS in people with HIV Infections, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 2 sites 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 46 inclusion and 49 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 5 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites 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 7 Mar 2022). 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?
Number of Participants Reporting Local Reactogenicity Signs and Symptoms (time frame: Measured through 3 days after each infusion at weeks 0, 16 and 32). The study lists 14 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 5 Jun 2025.
