About this study

Official title: EHVA T02 (European HIV Vaccine Alliance Therapeutic Trial 02)/ANRS VRI07: A Phase II Randomised, Placebo-controlled Trial of Vedolizumab With or Without Therapeutic HIV MVA Vaccine in Individuals Who Started Antiretrovirals During Primary or Chronic Infection

EHVA T02 is an international, phase II, double-blind study to evaluate two experimental arms each compared to placebo control in HIV-1 positive participants to see if either has a clinically relevant impact on viral replication.

Read the detailed description

Screening will take place during the 6 weeks prior to randomisation. Eligible participants will be enrolled at week 0 and randomised to MVA HIV-B vaccine followed by vedolizumab, vedolizumab + placebo vaccine, or placebo vaccine + placebo infusions.

Participants will be randomised at each centre through web-based randomisation after entering the eligibility criteria. There will be two strata: one for those who started treatment during primary infection, and one for those who started treatment during chronic infection.

69 eligible individuals from collaborating European Countries will be enrolled, aiming for approximately half who started cART in primary infection and half who started in chronic infection. Participants continue from the screening visit (up to 6 weeks before enrolment) to the last visit, a maximum of 60 weeks (around 14 months), although follow-up will continue through to the time when virus is fully suppressed.

Treatment will be interrupted at week 18 and resumed when the viral load is confirmed to have rebounded to ≥100,000 copies/ml, or the CD4 falls to ≤350 cells/mm3, confirmed, or there is evidence of disease progression, or they have completed 24 weeks of treatment interruption.

Conditions
HIV-1-infection
Being tested
Vaccine and vedolizumab (Entyvio), Placebo vaccine and vedolizumab infusion (Entyvio), Placebo vaccine and placebo infusion

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Vaccine and vedolizumab (Entyvio)Biological

    Vaccine and vedolizumab infusion (Entyvio):

    0.5ml of MVA HIV-B (1 x 108 pfu/ml) will be administered intramuscularly in the deltoid muscle of the non-dominant upper arm at weeks 0 and 8. Participants will be observed after the injection.

    Vedolizumab (300mg) is administered as an intravenous infusion (255 ml) over 30 mins in the dominant arm at weeks 10,12,16,20,24,28 and 32. After infusion, the line should be flushed with 30ml of normal saline. Participants will be observed throughout and after the infusion.

  • Placebo vaccine and vedolizumab infusion (Entyvio)Biological

    Placebo Vaccine:

    The placebo for MVA HIV-B to be used is a solution composed of S08 buffer (as for the MVA vaccine) that will be intramuscularly in the deltoid muscle of the non-dominant upper arm at weeks 0 and 8. Participants will be observed after the injection.

    Vedolizumab infusion (Entyvio):

    Vedolizumab (300mg) is administered as an intravenous infusion (255 ml) over 30 mins in the dominant arm at weeks 10,12,16,20,24,28 and 32. After infusion, the line should be flushed with 30ml of normal saline. Participants will be observed throughout and after the infusion.

  • Placebo vaccine and placebo infusionBiological

    Placebo Vaccine:

    The placebo for MVA HIV-B to be used is a solution composed of S08 buffer (as for the MVA vaccine) that will be intramuscularly in the deltoid muscle of the non-dominant upper arm at weeks 0 and 8. Participants will be observed after the injection.

    Placebo infusion (Entyvio):

    255ml Sodium Chloride (NaCl) 0.9% bag administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 mins in the dominant arm at weeks 10,12,16,20,24,28 and 32. Participants will be observed throughout and after the infusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the HIV RNA curve

    Area under the HIV RNA curve from treatment interruption (scheduled for 18 weeks after entering the trial)

    Measured: Time from treatment interruption (scheduled for 18 weeks after entering the trial) to 24 weeks post-treatment interruption

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Virological outcome measures

    Time from treatment interruption (scheduled for 18 weeks after entering the trial) to the earliest of reaching HIV RNA ≥ 100 000 copies/ml (confirmed on a separate sample) or resuming antiretroviral therapy for any reason over a period of 24 weeks.

    Measured: For participants commencing treatment interruption only, critical time points weeks 19 through to to week 42.

  2. Virological outcome measures

    Level of HIV total RNA

    Measured: From randomisation to study completion about 54 weeks

  3. Virological outcome measures

    Cell Associated (CA) HIV RNA Quantification

    Measured: From randomisation to study completion about 54 weeks

  4. Virological outcome measures

    First local maximum (peak) level of HIV total RNA during treatment interruption

    Measured: Time from treatment interruption, only in participants commencing treatment interruption, up to 24 weeks after ATI

  5. Virological outcome measures

    Rate of increase of HIV total RNA between the last measure below the lower detection and the first local maximum

    Measured: Time from treatment interruption, only in participants commencing treatment interruption, up to 24 weeks after ATI

  6. Virological outcome measures

    Setpoint (two stable measures following a transient increase of HIV RNA)

    Measured: Time from treatment interruption, only in participants commencing treatment interruption, up to 24 weeks after ATI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Vaccine and vedolizumab (Entyvio) in people with HIV-1-infection, run by ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases at 4 sites in 3 countries.

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 16 inclusion and 29 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 4 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France, Switzerland, United Kingdom. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Area under the HIV RNA curve (time frame: Time from treatment interruption (scheduled for 18 weeks after entering the trial) to 24 weeks post-treatment interruption). 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 4 Aug 2023.
