About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label Clinical Trial to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of Adjuvanted HIV-1 Fusion Peptide Conjugate Vaccine (VRC-HIVVCP0108-00-VP) Alone or in Prime-Boost Regimens With Adjuvanted HIV-1 Envelope Trimer 4571 (VRC-HIVRGP096-00-VP) and HIV-1 Trimer 6931 (VRC-HIVRGP0106-00-VP) Vaccines in Healthy Adults

This is an open-label, dose-escalation study to examine the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of adjuvanted Fusion Peptide Vaccine alone or in prime-boost regimens with adjuvanted Trimer 4571 and Trimer 6931 vaccines in healthy adults. The hypothesis is that the vaccines will be safe, and well tolerated when administered alone, and when co-administered with HIV-1 Trimer 4571, in prime-boost regimens, and will induce detectable immune response.

Read the detailed description

This study has two parts. Part A will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of single doses of the FP conjugate, Trimer 4571 and Trimer 6931 vaccines, in a dose-escalation design. Each product must be assessed as safe prior to use in Part B. Trimer 4571 with alum adjuvant has been previously evaluated in humans but will be tested in Part A with Adjuplex. Part B will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of FP conjugate prime, Trimer 4571 prime, or an FP plus Trimer 4571 prime, all followed by subsequent doses of Trimer 4571, or Trimer 6931, or both alone and then both Trimers combined.

Total study duration is 36 months (includes enrollment, planned safety holds and follow-up).

  12. Response Rate of Serum Antibody Binding of FP and Envelope Trimer Antigens as Measured by the MSD Assay 2 Weeks After the Last Vaccination.

    Meso Scale Discovery Immunogenicity Assay (MSD) was used to measure the IgG binding antibody responses to fusion protein (FP), Trimer 4571, and Trimer 6931 based on two distinct positivity call methods: Method 1, known for its liberal approach, and Method 2, acknowledged for its conservative nature. Method 1 is using the cutoffs from the lab based on the 80 naïve samples (the 95th percentile). Method 2 is using the cutoffs (mean + 3*SD of AUC to each analyte) based on the 80 naïve samples after filtering out %CV>= 30% plus the baseline values from this study. The readout was the area under the curve (AUC) that were calculated from 8 serial dilutions (8-fold) for each sample. Group 5 and Group 6 were combined in the summary of IgG response rate.

    Measured: Measured at week 2, 2 weeks after the 1st vaccination, for Groups T5+T6, T7, and T8 and week 6, 2 weeks after the 2nd vaccination for Groups T7 and T8.

  13. Magnitude of Serum Antibody Binding of FP and Envelope Trimer Antigens as Measured by the MSD Assay 2 Weeks After the Last Vaccination.

    Meso Scale Discovery Immunogenicity Assay (MSD) was used to measure the IgG binding antibody responses to fusion protein (FP), Trimer 4571, and Trimer 6931 based on two distinct positivity call methods: Method 1, known for its liberal approach, and Method 2, acknowledged for its conservative nature. Method 1 is using the cutoffs from the lab based on the 80 naïve samples (the 95th percentile). Method 2 is using the cutoffs (mean + 3*SD of AUC to each analyte) based on the 80 naïve samples after filtering out %CV>= 30% plus the baseline values from this study. The readout was the area under the curve (AUC) that were calculated from 8 serial dilutions (8-fold) for each sample. The Unit of Measure is expressed as Mean Electrochemiluminescence Signal*1/dilution to reflect the AUC of responses across serial dilutions. Group 5 and Group 6 were combined in the summary of IgG magnitudes.

    Measured: Measured at week 2, 2 weeks after the 1st vaccination, for Groups T5+T6, T7, and T8 and week 6, 2 weeks after the 2nd vaccination for Groups T7 and T8.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing FP conjugate vaccine (25 mcg), FP conjugate vaccine (200 mcg) and Trimer 6931 (100 mcg) in people with HIV, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 6 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?

The sponsor lists 24 inclusion and 35 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Mar 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants Reporting Local Reactogenicity Signs and Symptoms: Pain and/or Tenderness (time frame: Measured through 7 days after each vaccine dose (7 days after the first dose at Week 0 in all Groups, and 7 days after the second dose at Week 4 in Groups 7 and 8 for participants who received the second dose).). The study lists 13 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 23 Apr 2026.
