Filter by:Background: The experimental product in this study, N6LS, is a human monoclonal antibody. Antibodies are one way that the human body fights infection. Monoclonal means that all the antibodies in the product are the same. N6LS is directed against the HIV virus. There is no HIV in the N6LS study product and you cannot get HIV from this product. This study is the first time N6LS is tested in humans. It was given into a vein in the arm (intravenously, IV) or as an injection underneath the skin (subcutaneously, SC). The study also tested N6LS mixed with an enzyme, rHuPH20 (recombinant human hyaluronidase). rHuPH20 increases the spread of fluids injected underneath your skin (subcutaneously, SC) and allows for the rapid delivery of large volume injections that can be given with a single needle. It was given as a SC infusion using a small needle attached to an infusion pump. Study products were only given to healthy adults who are not infected with HIV. Objective: The main purpose of the study is to see if N6LS alone and N6LS mixed with rHuPH20 is safe in healthy adults. Another goal is to learn how amounts of N6LS in the body change over time. Study Plan: Assigned study groups depended on the dose of product, the numbers of times the product was given (once or three times at 12-week intervals), and how the product was given (IV or SC). Blood samples for research were collected at most of the visits. There were about 14 clinic visits over 6 months for all groups who got one dose of product, and about 26 clinic visits over 12 months for the groups who got three doses of product.
Background: Antibodies help the body fight infection. VRC01LS is an antibody directed against HIV virus. HIV attacks the immune system. In animals, VRC01LS inactivated many types of HIV viruses. Researchers want to see if it does this in people. Objectives: To see if VRC01LS is safe and well-tolerated in people. To see what level of VRC01LS is maintained in people and if they develop an immune response to it. Eligibility: Healthy people ages 18 to 50 Design: Participants will be screened in protocol number VRC 500 (NIH 11-I-0164) with medical history, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. The study will last 24 to 48 weeks. Visits will last 2 to 8 hours. Participants will get VRC01LS through either: - A needle in an arm vein or - A small needle placed into the fatty tissue under the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or arm. Participants will be assigned to 1 of 6 groups. Groups 1 to 4 will get 1 dose of VRC01LS. They will have follow-up visits through week 24. Groups 5 and 6 will get 1 dose of VRC01LS every 12 weeks (3 doses). They will have 4 to 5 visits between the second and third dose, and follow-up visits through week 48. Participants will have 1 to 3 follow-up visits in the week after receiving VRC01LS. They will record their temperature and keep a diary of symptoms for 3 days after a dose. They may have additional unscheduled visits. At each visit, participants will have a physical exam and may have blood and urine tests.
Background: - VRC01 is a manmade antibody directed against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Antibodies fight infection. Researchers eventually want to know if VRC01 helps prevent or treat HIV infection. In this study they want to know if the study drug is safe if taken in a vein or under the skin. Taking VRC01 in this study will not protect against HIV infection. Objectives: - To see if VRC01 and placebo are safe and well tolerated. Eligibility: - Healthy adults 18 to 50 years old. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and lab tests. - Participants will be randomly divided into 4 groups. VRC01 or the placebo will be given in weeks 1 and 4. Blood samples will be taken several times after each VRC01 or placebo dose. - Three groups will receive VRC01 by needle into a vein with an IV pump. It will take about 1 hour and it is done in the hospital. - One group will receive either VRC01 or the placebo by needle into the fatty tissue under the skin, usually the belly. It will take up to 20 minutes and it is done in the hospital. - Participants will stay in the hospital overnight after receiving the medication and have about 14 clinic visits over 4 months. Most clinic visits last about 2 hours. - Participants will keep a symptom diary after receiving the medicatino. - Participants can volunteer to have mouth, rectal, and genital samples taken throughout the study. - The study will last 8 months.
This is the first clinical trial of the VRC-HIVMAB060-00-AB (VRC01) monoclonal antibody. VRC01 is a broadly neutralizing antibody directed against HIV. This is a dose-escalation study to examine safety, tolerability, dose and pharmacokinetics of VRC01. The hypothesis is that VRC01 will be safe for administration to HIV-1 infected adults by the intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) routes and will not elicit hypersensitivity reactions. Samples will be collected to learn if VRC01 is detectable in mucosal secretions and blood of participants and how long VRC01 can be detected in the blood after it is given. Between 15 and 25 HIV-1 infected adults, ages 18-70 years will be enrolled. There are 4 dose escalation groups for IV administration; the doses are 1 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg. There is 1 group for SC administration at 5 mg/kg. Each group is expected to include at least 3 participants. Each participant will receive two infusions of VRC01 with about 1 month between doses. Infusions are administered in an inpatient unit and an overnight stay at the NIH Clinical Center is required. No more than one subject per day per group will receive a first infusion of the VRC01 product by the IV route and no more than one subject per week will receive a first infusion of the product by the SC route. Study participation lasts for 24 weeks. Participant health and effect on CD4 count and HIV viral load will be monitored. Samples will be collected and stored for research purposes. ...
