Filter by: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.
