10E8.4/iMab Bispecific Antibody in HIV-uninfected and HIV-infected Adults
A Phase 1 study testing 10E8.4/iMab in people with HIV-1-infection, run by David Ho at 2 sites in United States.
Trial summary
Many HIV-infected individuals mount a broad neutralizing serologic response 2-3 years after infection. Broadly neutralizing antibodies might play an important role in protection from acquisition of HIV infection because they can protect macaques from infection, and the presence of anti-HIV antibodies was the only… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Phase 1 Dose-escalation Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Antiviral Activity of the Bispecific Antibody 10E8.4/iMab in HIV-1-infected and Uninfected Individuals
Many HIV-infected individuals mount a broad neutralizing serologic response 2-3 years after infection. Broadly neutralizing antibodies might play an important role in protection from acquisition of HIV infection because they can protect macaques from infection, and the presence of anti-HIV antibodies was the only positive correlate of protection in an HIV vaccine efficacy trial (RV144 trial). HIV neutralizing antibodies also have the potential to alter the course of HIV infection in humans. Therefore, these antibodies might be useful to both prevent and treat HIV-1 infection.
This is a phase 1 dose escalating clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and the antiretroviral effects of a novel bispecific monoclonal antibody 10E8.4/iMab in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected individuals. The study will be conducted as a multi-center study at the Columbia University Medical Center in New York City and the Orlando Immunology Center in Orlando, Florida.
Read the detailed description
There are 4 study Arms as it is possible that pharmacokinetics (PK) may differ between HIV-1-uninfected individuals (Arms 1, 2 and 4) and HIV-1-infected and viremic individuals (Arm 3). Safety and tolerability as well as PK may differ between the IV and SC routes, Arms 1, 2 and 4.
A dose escalation design has been used to establish safety and tolerability at very low doses of 10E8.4/iMab as this is a first in man study. Once demonstrated, dose levels would be increased to dosing levels thought to be more clinically relevant.
The numbers of subjects receiving active antibody in each study arm are relatively balanced such that an initial evaluation of the primary endpoint with additional dosing to provide insights into both PK and antiviral activity as well as some exploratory endpoints such as immunogenicity will be possible.
This study is a phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics and the antiretroviral activity of the bispecific monoclonal antibody 10E8.4/iMab in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected individuals.
HIV uninfected, healthy volunteers will be administered either one intravenous infusion of 10E8.4/iMab at one of five increasing dose levels (0.3 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg) or one SC injection of 1 mg/kg, 2.5 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg or placebo and will be followed for 24 weeks after 10E8.4/iMab administration. HIV-infected volunteers will be administered one intravenous infusion of 10E8.4/iMab at one of three increasing dose levels (3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg).
Arm 1 consists of 3 groups: Group A: 0.3 mg/kg IV, N=3; Group B: 1mg/kg SC, N=3; and Group C: 1mg/kg IV, N=3. All HIV-1 uninfected, dosed once.
Arm 2 consists of 3 groups: Group D: 3mg/kg, N=6; Group E: 10mg/kg, N=6; and Group F: 30 mg/kg, N=6. All HIV-1 uninfected, dosed IV once.
Arm 3 consists of 2 groups: H: 10mg/kg, N=4 and Group I: 30 mg/kg, N=4. All HIV-1 infected, dosed IV once.
Arm 4 consists of 2 groups: Group J: 2.5 mg/kg, N=9, 6 active, 3 placebo; Group K: 10mg/kg, N=9, 6 active, 3 placebo, dosed SC once.
Since the safety and tolerability profiles, as well as the PK profile might differ between HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected individuals, dose-escalation is planned in both study populations. Dosing in Arm 1 Groups A, B and C; Arm 2 Groups D and E; and Arm 4 Groups J and K will be done prior to initiation of dosing in Arm 3 due to safety considerations.
Arm 3 will include HIV-infected individuals off antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least 4 weeks with plasma HIV-1 RNA levels < 100,000 copies/ml (both ART naïve and individuals that discontinued ART due to intolerance or by choice can be included in this group), or HIV-infected individuals on stable ART with plasma HIV-1 RNA levels > 1000 copies/ml.
The stated numbers of participants are the minimal number per dosing group. A safety monitoring committee may request additional enrollment in a specific Arm or Group based on the occurrence of dose limiting toxicities defined as any Grade 3 or greater adverse event that is probably or definitely related to the investigational product.
Study visits are all outpatient and include:
- a screening phase of up to 2 visits
- an administration visit at which 10E8.4/iMab is given either IV or SC in doses based on body weight and specific Arm and Group assignment.
- follow up visits that will occur at days 2, 7, 10 and weeks 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24. Subjects who received placebo SC may not be required to return for the week 24 visit.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing 10E8.4/iMab in people with HIV-1-infection, run by David Ho 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?
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 7 Mar 2023. 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?
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 of the highest single intravenous dose of 10E8.4/iMab in HIV uninfected individuals. Safety of a single dose of intravenous dose of 10E8.4/iMab in HIV uninfected individuals (time frame: 24 weeks). The study lists 4 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 NCT03875209, which also lists 4 linked publications.
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 7 Mar 2023.
