The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a prime-boost vaccine regimen of GEO-D02 DNA and MVA/HIV62B with and without B63521^11 gp120 and IHV01 gp120 Env proteins in healthy, HIV-uninfected adult participants.

This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a prime-boost vaccine regimen of GEO-D02 DNA and MVA/HIV62B with and without B63521^11 gp120 and IHV01 gp120 Env proteins in healthy, HIV-uninfected adult participants.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of five groups. Participants in all five groups will receive GEO-D02 DNA by intramuscular (IM) injection at Months 0 and 2. Then, at Months 4, 6, and 10, participants will receive three additional injections according to their assigned group:
- Group 1: MVA/HIV62B, placebo for B63521^11 gp120, and placebo for IHV01, all by IM injection
- Group 2: MVA/HIV62B by IM injection and placebo for B63521^11 gp120 and for IHV01, both by subcutaneous (SC) injection
- Group 3: MVA/HIV62B, B63521^11 gp120, and IHV01, all by IM injection
- Group 4: MVA/HIV62B, placebo for B63521^11 gp120, and IHV01, all by IM injection
- Group 5: MVA/HIV62B by IM injection and IHV01 and B63521^11 gp120, both by SC injection
Participants will attend several study visits through Month 16. Visits may include physical examinations, blood and urine collection, electrocardiogram, HIV testing, risk reduction counseling, and questionnaires. Study staff will contact participants at Month 24 for follow-up health monitoring.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing GEO-D02 DNA, MVA/HIV62B Vaccine and B63521^11 gp120 in people with HIV Infections, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
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 41 inclusion and 54 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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?
Frequency of local reactogenicity signs and symptoms (time frame: Measured through Month 10). The study lists 9 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 15 Oct 2021.
