  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects are eligible to be included in the study only if ALL of the following criteria apply:

  • Male with body weight ≥ 50 kg or female with body weight ≥ 45 kg, aged 18 years or older.
  • Have been receiving at least (≧) 2 nucleoside/ nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) plus one non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), protease inhibitor (PI, either boosted or un-boosted), integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) or entry inhibitor (EI) for more than 1 years.

  • No breastfeeding or pregnancy for women.
  • Both male and female patients and their partners of childbearing potential must agree to use 2 medically accepted methods of contraception (eg, barrier contraceptives [male condom, female condom, or diaphragm with a spermicidal gel], hormonal contraceptives [implants, injectable, combinational oral contraceptives, transdermal patches, or contraceptive rings], and intrauterine devices) during the course of the study (excluding women who are not of childbearing potential and men who have been sterilized). Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test.
  • Subjects must sign the informed consent before undergoing any study procedures.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects meeting ANY of the following criteria will be excluded from the study:
  • Subjects with active systemic infections, except for HIV-1, that the investigator feels the infections may confound evaluation and treatment for HIV-1.
  • Any acquired AIDS-defining illness such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or Kaposi's sarcoma according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Classification System for HIV-1 Infection within the past 12 months .
  • Any documented CD4+ T cell count < 200 cells/mm3 within the past 12 weeks .
  • Any exposure to a monoclonal antibody within the past 12 weeks.
  • Any significant diseases (other than HIV-1 infection) or clinically significant findings, that, in the Investigator's opinion, would preclude the subject from well participation or confound the assessment of study objectives.
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Current receiving treatment regimen for Diabetes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or latent tuberculosis.
  • History of anaphylaxis to any monoclonal antibodies or HDAC inhibitor agents.
  • Received blood transfusion or hematopoietic growth factor treatment, any vaccine, or a compound with HDAC inhibitor activity (such as valproic acid) recently.
  • Use of immunomodulators, HIV vaccine, or systemic chemotherapy within 180 days prior to V1.
  • More than one change of ART regimen because of the inability to achieve or maintain suppression of viral replication to an HIV-1 RNA level < 200 copies/mL within the past 12 months
  • Receipt of any other investigational study agent(s) within 90 days.
  • Experienced urticaria in recent 6 months or ongoing or unresolved skin problems with rash-like symptoms .

What participants receive

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

  • UB-421Biological

    10mg/kg weekly intravenous infusion to substitute for for antiretroviral therapy

  • UB-421+chidamideOther

    10 mg/kg UB-421 weekly intravenous infusion to substitute for antiretroviral therapy, and combined with oral 10 mg chidamide twice a week for 8 weeks. Chidamide taken on the one day and three days after the administration of UB-421.

What is being measured

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

  1. HIV-1 Total DNA levels

    The change in HIV-1 Total DNA from baseline after the study drug administration.

    Measured: Post-treatment weeks up to 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. HIV-1 Total DNA levels

    The changes in HIV-1 Total DNA levels during the study

    Measured: Post-treatment weeks up to 48 weeks

  2. Treatment related TEAE

    The incidence of Grade 3 or higher grade drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE)

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 0.5 year

  3. Viral suppression

    Descriptive analysis of loss of viral suppression (HIV-1 VL> 50 copies/ml) during the study period.

    Measured: Post-treatment weeks up to 48 weeks

  4. The number of adverse subjects

    The number of adverse subjects leading to discontinuation of UB 421 or Chidamide.

    Measured: Post-treatment weeks up to 48 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing UB-421 and UB-421+chidamide in people with HIV-1-infection, run by UBP Greater China (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

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 9 inclusion and 13 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 May 2023. 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Linda Shih, MSc (+886 36684800 ext. 3851, linda.shih@unitedbiopharma.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

HIV-1 Total DNA levels (time frame: Post-treatment weeks up to 48 weeks). 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 10 May 2023.
