About this study

Official title: A Phase I Pilot Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of the HIV-1 Vaccines MVA.tHIVconsv3 (M3) and MVA.tHIVconsv4 (M4) Given Alone or In Combination in HIV-1-Infected Adults Suppressed on Antiretroviral Therapy - The M&M Study

This is a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel design, study in which 24 HIV-infected participants with durable viral suppression will be randomly assigned to receive vaccination with MVA.tHIVconsv3 (M3), MVA.tHIVconsv4 (M4), M3+M4 combined, or placebo. Participants will be randomized 7:7:7:3 to one of four study arms, and receive study treatment or placebo at Day 0. Each enrolled participant will complete the study in approximately 33.5 weeks (8.4 months).

The purpose of this study is to find out:

  • If it is safe for people to receive injections of two investigational HIV vaccines, called MVAtHIVconsv3 and MVAtHIVconsv4 alone or in combination.
  • If giving participants these vaccine doses will increase their immune system's ability to kill HIV virus.
Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1, single site, pilot study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the M3 and M4 vaccines administered alone or in combination in HIV-infected participants suppressed on ART.

This is a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel design study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of viral-vector, MVA, expressing immunogens, tHIVconsv3 (M3) and tHIVconsv4 (M4), derived from conserved yet immunogenic regions of HIV-1. The participant population is HIV-1 infected adults suppressed on ART with plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL.

Hypotheses: The administration of M3 or M4 or M3+M4 together will be safe in HIV-1-infected participants suppressed on ART. The simultaneous administration of M3 with M4 (M3+M4) will result in both an increase in total magnitude of HIV-1-specific T cell responses and increase the breadth of T cells targeting conserved regions of HIV-1 compared with either M3 or M4 vaccination alone.

The vaccine and placebo doses will be administered to all participants as an IM (intramuscular) injection in the deltoid muscle of the non-dominant arm, unless a participant requests vaccination in their dominant arm. Participants continue their baseline ART regimen throughout the study. Randomized assignment 7:7:7:3 occurs at Day 0 to one of four arms as provided below:

Arm 1 - 7 participants - Treatment: M3 - Dose (pfu): 2x10-8 - Route: IM; Arm 2 - 7 participants - Treatment: M4 - Dose (pfu): 2x10-8 - Route: IM; Arm 3 - 7 participants - Treatment: M3+M4 - Dose (pfu): 1x10-8, each vaccine - Route: IM; Arm 4 - 3 participants - Treatment: Placebo/saline - Dose: N/A - Route: IM; M3 = MVA.tHIVconsv3; M4 = MVA.tHIVconsv4; pfu = plaque forming units; IM = intramuscular

The primary safety outcome is the occurrence of at least one ≥ Grade 3 Adverse Event (AE) including signs/symptoms, lab toxicities, and/or clinical events that are possibly, probably, or definitely related to study treatment through 28 days following vaccination. The primary safety analysis will be blinded through Day 28 after the last dose of vaccine/placebo and the second leukapheresis is completed by the last participant.

Screening, Enrollment, and Leukapheresis. The participant reviews and signs the informed consent (ICF). Participants meeting eligibility requirements enroll and undergo one leukapheresis procedure between Day -60 and Day 0. The leukapheresis procedure collects white blood cells allowing for completion of detailed immunologic and virologic assays with minimal blood loss. Participants have the option to consent to a lymph node FNA; participants choosing this option will complete the pre-vaccine FNA between Day -60 and Day 0 and a post-vaccine FNA between Day 7 and Day 21. The post-vaccine FNA should be collected even if the pre-vaccine collection attempt is unsuccessful.

Randomization, Study Treatment, Follow-up Assessment, and Leukapheresis. Randomization occurs at Day 0 when a randomization identification number (RID) will be assigned. All participants receive a vaccine or placebo dose as an IM injection. Post vaccination safety assessments occur via clinical evaluations, and lab testing/evaluations. The study will collect research assays at designated visits.

At Day 28, all participants will undergo their 2nd leukapheresis. This procedure can be completed between Day 21 through Day 35. The leukapheresis product will be used for immunologic and virologic research assays post vaccine/placebo. Participants will be followed for immunogenicity assessments through Day 70 and safety assessments through Day 168 (Week 24) following the administration of vaccine/placebo at Day 0.

Note: The post-vaccine leukapheresis must be done as close to Day 28 as possible. There may be a rare situation where the completion of the procedure in the 2-week visit window will not be possible. As soon as the study coordinator becomes aware of this scenario, the study coordinator should notify the study PI (or designee) to schedule the procedure outside the study window, preferably earlier (between Days 14 and 28). If the procedure can only be done after Day 35, participants should complete the Day 28 visit with collection of a 42.5 mL ACD sample at that visit.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percent of Participants With a Grade 3 or Higher Treatment-Related Adverse Event (AE)

    The DAIDS Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events (DAIDS AE Grading Table), corrected Version 2.1, July 2017 will be used to measure safety where Grade 3 is defined as severe and Grade 4 is defined as potentially life-threatening. Treatment-Related AEs will be assessments that are considered related to study product as possible, probable, or definite as defined in the protocol.

    Measured: First day of study treatment through 28 days following vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MVA.tHIVconsv3 and MVA.tHIVconsv4 in people with HIV-1 Infection, run by University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 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 58 inclusion and 59 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 8 Oct 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Aug 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?

Percent of Participants With a Grade 3 or Higher Treatment-Related Adverse Event (AE) (time frame: First day of study treatment through 28 days following vaccination). 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 NCT03844386, 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 8 Oct 2026.
