Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immune response to an HIV clade C vaccine and to an MF59- or alum-adjuvanted clade C Env protein in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults.


Description:

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity to vCP2438 (an HIV clade C vaccine) and to an unadjuvanted or MF59- or alum-adjuvanted bivalent clade C gp120 in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults. The study will enroll healthy, HIV-uninfected participants aged 18 to 40 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of 4 groups. [describe further] Study visits will include a physical examination, an interview and/or questionnaire, HIV testing and HIV risk-reduction counseling, and urine and blood collection. A subset of participants will provide rectal fluid, cervical fluid, semen, or stool samples.

Primary Occurrence of Vaccine-induced Systemic IgG Ab Binding to the 3 gp120 Env Proteins Contained in the Vaccine Regimen (ZM96, TV1.C, and 1086.C) in Group 1 and Group 2 Serum IgG responses were measured on a Bio-Plex instrument using a standardized custom Luminex assay, run at 1:50 dilution. The readout is background-subtracted mean fluorescent intensity (MFI), with background adjustment for an antigen-specific plate level control. For each sample, response magnitude is net MFI, defined as experimental antigen MFI minus reference antigen MFI. Net MFI < 1 is set to 1, and net MFI > 22,000 is set to 22,000. Data are excluded if blood draw date was outside the allowable window, a participant was HIV-infected, reference antigen > 5,000 MFI, or baseline net MFI > 6,500. Samples from post-enrollment visits have positive responses if they meet three criteria: (1) net MFI greater than or equal to an antigen-specific response threshold (defined as the maximum of 100 and the 95th percentile of baseline net MFI), (2) net MFI values are greater than 3 times baseline net MFI, and (3) experimental antigen MFI values are greater than 3 times baseline MFI.

The readout is background-subtracted mean fluorescent intensity (MFI), with background adjustment for an antigen-specific plate level control. For each sample, response magnitude is net MFI, defined as experimental antigen MFI minus reference antigen MFI. Net MFI < 1 is set to 1, and net MFI > 22,000 is set to 22,000. Data are excluded if blood draw date was outside the allowable window, a participant was HIV-infected, reference antigen > 5,000 MFI, or baseline net MFI > 6,500. Samples from post-enrollment visits have positive responses if they meet three criteria: (1) net MFI greater than or equal to an antigen-specific response threshold (defined as the maximum of 100 and the 95th percentile of baseline net MFI), (2) net MFI values are greater than 3 times baseline net MFI, and (3) experimental antigen MFI values are greater than 3 times baseline MFI. Measured at Months 6.5 and 12.
Secondary Level of Vaccine-induced Serum IgA Ab Binding to Env Proteins Serum IgA responses were measured on a Bio-Plex instrument using a standardized custom Luminex assay, run at 1:10 dilution. The readout is background-subtracted mean fluorescent intensity (MFI), with background adjustment for an antigen-specific plate level control. For each sample, response magnitude is net MFI, defined as experimental antigen MFI minus reference antigen MFI. Net MFI < 1 is set to 1, and net MFI > 22,000 is set to 22,000. Data are excluded if blood draw date was outside the allowable window, a participant was HIV-infected, reference antigen > 5,000 MFI, or baseline net MFI > 6,500. Summary was calculated among positive responders only (positivity criteria are described in Outcome 1). Measured at Months 6.5 and 12.
Secondary HIV-specific CD4+ T Cell Polyfunctionality by ICS - Functionality Scores COMPASS uses a Bayesian hierarchical framework to model all observed functional cell subsets and select those most likely to exhibit antigen-specific responses. Cell-subset responses are quantified by posterior probabilities. The functionality score (FS) summarizes, as a single number for each participant, the proportion of antigen-specific cell subsets among all measured subsets, irrespective of degree of functionality. FS ranges from zero to one. FS will assign a higher score to participants that exhibit antigen specificity in more cell subsets irrespective of their degree of functionality. Measured at Months 6.5, 12, 12.5, and 18
Secondary HIV-specific CD4+ T Cell Polyfunctionality by ICS - Polyfunctionality Scores COMPASS uses a Bayesian hierarchical framework to model all observed functional cell subsets and select those most likely to exhibit antigen-specific responses. Cell-subset responses are quantified by posterior probabilities. The polyfunctionality score (PFS) summarizes, as a single number for each participant, the proportion of antigen-specific cell subsets among all measured subsets, weighted by the degree of functionality of the corresponding subset. PFS ranges from zero to one. PFS will assign a higher score to participants with antigen-specific cell subsets of higher degree. Measured at Months 6.5, 12, 12.5, and 18
Secondary Occurrence of Vaccine-induced Serum IgG Ab Binding to the 3 gp120 Env Proteins Contained in the Vaccine Regimen (ZM96, TV1.C, and 1086.C) Serum IgG responses were measured on a Bio-Plex instrument using a standardized custom Luminex assay, run at 1:50 dilution. The readout is background-subtracted mean fluorescent intensity (MFI), with background adjustment for an antigen-specific plate level control. For each sample, response magnitude is net MFI, defined as experimental antigen MFI minus reference antigen MFI. Net MFI < 1 is set to 1, and net MFI > 22,000 is set to 22,000.
