VRC 603 Trial Summary

This trial is testing a gene that could be transferred to the cells of people with HIV, in order to make them produce an antibody called VRC07, which fights HIV. The gene is packaged into a man-made version of a virus called AAV8. The trial is testing to see if AAV8-VRC07 is safe and if it causes cells to produce the VRC07 antibody.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-65 living with HIV, in good health, on stable HIV medication for at least 3 months. Participants must agree to use contraception and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Excludes those with previous monoclonal antibody treatment, certain pre-existing antibodies, heavy weight (for Group 3), uncontrolled hypertension, active liver disease or severe allergies.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests AAV8-VRC07's safety and its ability to make cells produce the VRC07 antibody against HIV. It involves a gene packaged into a man-made virus injected into participants' arms or thighs. The study spans over five years with regular visits for physical exams and sample collections.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed but may include reactions at the injection site, immune responses due to the introduction of new genetic material via viral vector (AAV8), and any unforeseen effects from long-term production of the VRC07 antibody.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What criteria must an individual meet to be eligible for participation in this clinical trial?

"This medical experiment is actively recruiting 10 willing and able participants between the age of 18 to 65 who are diagnosed with HIV. To be eligible, patients must have completed an informed consent process, been on a stable antiretroviral regimen for at least 3 months and show no evidence of clinically significant lab abnormalities or additional medical conditions based on history and examination."

Answered by AI

Does this research trial include individuals aged 25 and above?

"This trial only allows participants who are between 18 and 65 to join. If a patient is underage, they can look into the 5 clinical trials specifically designed for minors; seniors have 13 options available to them."

Answered by AI

Are there any vacancies remaining for participants of this experiment?

"According to the information provided on clinicaltrials.gov, this study is not currently enrolling participants; it was initially posted on November 1st 2018 and updated most recently on October 27th 2022. Nevertheless, 18 other trials are presently seeking patients at present."

Answered by AI

To what extent could VRC-HIVAAV070-00-GT (AAV8-VRC07) be hazardous to human health?

"Our assessment of the safety profile for VRC-HIVAAV070-00-GT (AAV8-VRC07) is a 1, as this phase 1 trial only has limited evidence to support its efficacy and safety."
