Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate, in healthy HIV-1 seronegative vaccinia-immune and vaccinia-naive volunteers, the safety and immunogenicity of an HIV-1 candidate vaccine (TBC-3B) consisting of a live recombinant vaccinia virus expressing the env, gag, and pol genes of HIV-1 IIIB strain. To evaluate the potential of boosting with one of a variety of HIV-1 recombinant subunit, peptide, or pseudovirion vaccines, if available, to augment the immune responses of the vaccinees. Antigenic drift, defined as the genetic variation of the HIV-1 envelope gene that results in antigenic variation during natural infection, may confound attempts to achieve protective immunity using a vaccine based solely on HIV-1 envelope proteins. Inclusion of conserved core and polymerase proteins along with envelope protein in a candidate vaccine may address some of the problems with antigenic variability. A prime-boost immunization approach using a novel priming immunogen expressing env, gag, and pol genes of the HIV-1 IIIB strain will be attempted in this study.


Description:

Antigenic drift, defined as the genetic variation of the HIV-1 envelope gene that results in antigenic variation during natural infection, may confound attempts to achieve protective immunity using a vaccine based solely on HIV-1 envelope proteins. Inclusion of conserved core and polymerase proteins along with envelope protein in a candidate vaccine may address some of the problems with antigenic variability. A prime-boost immunization approach using a novel priming immunogen expressing env, gag, and pol genes of the HIV-1 IIIB strain will be attempted in this study. In Part I, vaccinia-immune volunteers are randomized to one of two regimens. Group A receives priming with TBC-3B on days 0 and 56, followed by boosting on day 224 (8 months) with one of the following: TBC-3B, an alternative immunogen such as pseudovirion particles or a recombinant HIV-1 subunit or peptide vaccine, or placebo. Group B receives priming with control vaccine (DryVax), followed by boosting with an appropriate placebo. At least 50 percent of subjects in Part I will be observed for a minimum of 8 weeks before subsequent volunteers are enrolled in Part II. PER 11/18/94 AMENDMENT, Part I boosting is given on day 392. PER 5/19/95 AMENDMENT, Part I boosting is given on day 756 if not available on day 392; if the appropriate product is not available then, the study will end on day 756. In Part II, vaccinia-naive volunteers are randomized to one of three regimens. Group C receives TBC-3B on day 0 and saline placebo on day 56. Group D receives TBC-3B on days 0 and 56. Both Group C and D receive boosting with TBC-3B or an alternative immunogen on day 224. Group E receives control vaccine (DryVax) on days 0 and 56, followed by appropriate placebo on day 224. Per 06/10/94 addendum, volunteers will be contacted once or twice per year for at least 5 years to check on health status. NOTE: Part I (Part A) of the protocol has closed to accrual.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria Subjects must have: - Negative ELISA and Western blot for HIV-1 within 6 weeks prior to immunization. - Normal history and physical exam. - History of smallpox vaccination at least 5 years prior to study entry (Part I) OR no prior smallpox vaccination (Part II). - Absolute CD4 count >= 400 cells/mm3. - Normal urinalysis. NOTE: - No more than 10 percent of volunteers in both Parts I and II may be over 50 years of age. Exclusion Criteria Co-existing Condition: Subjects with the following symptoms or conditions are excluded: - Positive hepatitis B surface antigen. - Medical or psychiatric condition (such as recent suicidal ideation or present psychosis) that precludes compliance. - Occupational responsibilities that preclude compliance. - Active syphilis. NOTE: Subjects with serology documented to be a false positive or due to a remote (> 6 months) treated infection are eligible. - Active tuberculosis. NOTE: Subjects with a positive PPD and a normal chest x-ray showing no evidence of TB and not requiring isoniazid therapy are eligible. - Eczema. - Household contact with persons meeting any of the following criteria: - pregnancy, less than 12 months of age, eczema, immunodeficiency disease, or use of immunosuppressive medications. Subjects with the following prior conditions are excluded: - History of immunodeficiency, chronic illness, autoimmune disease, or use of immunosuppressive medications. - History of anaphylaxis or other serious adverse reactions to vaccines. - Eczema within the past year. - History of serious allergic reaction to any substance, requiring hospitalization or emergent medical care (e.g., Steven-Johnson syndrome, bronchospasm, or hypotension). - Prior psychiatric condition (such as history of suicide attempts or past psychosis) that precludes compliance. - History of cancer unless there has been surgical excision that is considered to have achieved cure. Prior Medication: Excluded: - Prior HIV vaccines. - Live attenuated vaccines within the past 60 days. NOTE: Medically indicated subunit or killed vaccines (e.g., influenza, pneumococcal) do not exclude but should be administered at least 2 weeks prior to HIV immunizations. - Experimental agents within the past 30 days. Prior Treatment: Excluded: - Receipt of blood products or immunoglobulins within the past 6 months. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that any activity that might expose subject to HIV (unprotected sex or needle sharing) be avoided.
