Clinical Trial Summary

HVTN 144 is a phase 1 clinical trial to being conducted to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of an HIV envelope trimer, N332-GT5 gp140, adjuvanted with saponin/MPLA nanoparticles (SMNP) in adult participants without HIV. The study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of N332-GT5 gp140 adjuvanted with SMNP in adult volunteers without HIV and in overall good health, including identifying a safe and tolerable dose, route, and schedule of administration of the novel adjuvant SMNP. The study also aims to evaluate the induction of BG18-class immunoglobulin G (IgG) B-cell responses in memory B cells by the study regimens and compare the responses between the different groups. HVTN 144 will be conducted in 2 parts with 84 volunteers without HIV and in overall good health, aged 18 to 55 years. The study duration is 22 months which includes 8 months for enrollment, planned safety holds, follow-up, and Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESI) health contact 1 year after last vaccination.


Clinical Trial Description

This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of combining 2 FIH products: N332-GT5 gp140 HIV trimer protein adjuvanted with SMNP, co-administered as 2 bolus immunizations (week 0 and 8) or fractionated escalating dose prime (6 immunizations over 3 weeks) followed by bolus immunization boost (week 10), via either subcutaneous (SC) route in the upper arm or intramuscular (IM) route to the deltoid. N332-GT5 gp140 is based on the BG505 MD39 native-like trimer (NLT). The dose escalation study (Part A) will determine the maximum safe dose, within our schema, of N332-GT5 gp140 and SMNP for 4 vaccination modalities: IM/bolus, IM/fractionated escalating dose prime, SC/bolus, and SC/fractionated escalating dose prime. A primary endpoint will be safety and tolerability. The trial will evaluate: (1) the concept of generalized germline targeting for HCDR3-dominant bnAb precursors; (2) germline targeting for V3-glycan (V3G)-specific BG18-class bnAbs; (3) establishing a safe and effective dose of SMNP in humans; (4) immunogenicity of an HIV Env trimer adjuvanted with SMNP; and (5) ranking of HIV trimer immune response magnitude and quality for bolus/IM, bolus/SC, and fractionated escalating dose with one of either IM or SC. ;
