Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Documented HIV infection
  • On continuous antiretroviral therapy and virologically suppressed HIV infection for ≥12 weeks prior to study entry
  • CD4 T-cell count > 350 cells/mm3
  • Male or female between the ages ≥ 40 years of age to <≤75
  • Documented cardiovascular disease (1. Prior myocardial infarction, 2. History of percutaneous coronary intervention, 3. History of coronary artery bypass graft OR 4. Angiographic evidence of >50% stenosis in at least one coronary artery] OR 1 CVD risk factor (T2DM, current smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, hsCRP≥2mg/L, family history)
  • TBR of >1.6 of the MDS of the carotid/aorta at baseline. This baseline arterial TBR cutoff excludes the rare individual that lacks appreciable arterial inflammation. It is notable that while 5-10% of uninfected individuals will have lower TBRs, it is rare that an HIV infected individual will fall below this range.
  • Female subjects must either be of non-childbearing potential as defined by menopause with amenorrhea for >2 years, bilateral oophorectomy, or agree to use adequate contraception throughout the study and for at least one month following termination and have a negative pregnancy test at screening prior to the first dose of drug.
  • Males must use at least one method of contraception throughout the study.

Who cannot join

  • Uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes requiring insulin
  • AST/ALT or alkaline phosphatase >2x ULN
  • Cancer within the last 5 years with exception of squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma
  • Nephrotic syndrome or eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2
  • Cytopenias which include 1) WBC <3.5 x103/uL 2) Platelet <120 x103/uL 3) ANC <1.5 x103/uL, and absolute lymphocytes <0.8 x 103/uL
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Anemia as fined by <10 g/dL
  • Evidence of tuberculosis infection at screening within 30 days prior to screening.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing VB-201 in people with Inflammation and HIV Infection, run by Priscilla Hsue, MD 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 8 inclusion and 11 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 Sep 2022. 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 combined 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.

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 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?

Change in Target-to-background ratio (TBR) (time frame: 1 year (Baseline and Week 52)). 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 Sep 2022.
