NETI Trial Summary

This trial is testing an investigational vaccine to see if it is safe and effective in stimulating the production of broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 living with HIV on stable antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least 24 months, with undetectable viral loads and no history of severe allergies or chronic inflammatory conditions. Participants must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a BMI over 40kg/m2, and should agree to use contraception during the trial.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The Trimer 4571 vaccine is being tested in two different doses combined with alum as an adjuvant against placebo controls. The study aims to see if it's safe for people with HIV and whether it can stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against HIV.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As Trimer 4571 is investigational and new to humans with HIV, potential side effects are not fully known but may include typical vaccine reactions like soreness at injection site, fever, fatigue or allergic responses.
