Study Summary

This trial is studying a possible HIV vaccine.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-70 with HIV, on stable ART for at least 48 weeks, and undetectable viral load. They must understand the study, consent to it, be willing to restart ART if needed, and adhere to protocol restrictions. Excluded are those with acute illness or certain medical conditions like advanced liver disease or history of significant heart issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a vaccine regimen (Ad26.Mos4.HIV prime and MVA-BN-HIV boost) combined with antibodies (PGT121, PGDM1400, VRC07-523LS) in HIV-infected adults on ART. It's a Phase 1/2a study assessing safety, tolerability, immune response and preliminary effectiveness.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical vaccine reactions such as soreness at injection site, fever or fatigue. Since this involves an experimental treatment for HIV patients already on medication therapy (ART), there might also be unique immune responses that will be closely monitored.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Antiviral activity - Percentage of participants who maintain plasma HIV RNA <1000 copies/mL
Frequency of Epitope Recognition by Enzyme-Linked Immunospot (ELISPOT)
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)
+4 more
Secondary outcome measures
Compare the time to viral rebound (defined as confirmed plasma HIV RNA levels ≥1,000 copies/mL) following Ad26.Mos4.HIV, MVA-BN-HIV and placebo with the results of the rates of viral rebound as observed in historical controls.
HIV genotyping of circulating virus

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Could prospective participants submit their candidacy for this research endeavor?

"Indeed, perusal of clinicaltrials.gov reveals that this study is currently searching for enrollees. The initial post was on April 1st 2022 and the latest update occured 18 days later. This investigation requires 36 individuals from a single trial site to participate."

Answered by AI

Are there any documented precedents of MVA-BN-HIV being evaluated in a scientific investigation?

"Presently, there are 16 clinical trials for MVA-BN-HIV in progress. None of these are in Phase 3 yet. The primary research site is located in Boston, Massachusetts; however, the study has expanded to 75 testing locations across the US."

Answered by AI

How many participants are enrolled in the investigation?

"Affirmative, the information stored on clinicaltrials.gov verifies that this medical trial is actively recruiting patients. It was initially made publicly available on April 1st 2022 and has been recently updated as of April 18th 2022. A total of 36 people are expected to join from a single site."

Answered by AI

What are the primary aims of this medical experiment?

"This clinical trial will be monitored for a 6 month period, measuring the safety and tolerability of participants using Percentage of Participants With Solicited Systemic AEs (adverse events) as their primary outcome. Secondary objectives include Measurement of intact proviral DNA via IPDA, quantification of PGT121, VRC07-523LS and PGDM1400 serum levels to detect viral rebound during an analytical treatment interruption, and HIV genotyping to measure sequence variations that might affect neutralization susceptibility."

Answered by AI

Is the age range of participants in this study limited to adults over 35?

"This trial seeks to include patients aged between 18 and 70. There are 614 studies available for minors, while seniors may find assistance in the 1575 trials catered towards them."

Answered by AI

Does my profile meet the criteria for participating in this trial?

"Candidates between the ages of 18 and 70 who suffer from AIDS may qualify for this clinical trial. 36 total patients will be admitted into the experiment."
