Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To investigate if immunological benefit can be induced in chronically infected HIV-1 patients by treatment with HAART supplemented with a vaccine and/or cytokines and hormones.;Secondary Objective: Arm 1 will indicate vaccine efficacy in the presence of cytokine/hormone therapy. Comparisons of responses between patients in arm 1with those in arm 2 will elucidate the effects of the addition of cytokine/hormone therapy on prime/boost immunisation with the vaccine. Comparisons of responses in patients in arms 1 and 2 with those in arm 3 will define additive effect of the vaccines above cytokine/hormone therapy alone. ;Primary end point(s): The primary outcome will be changes in defined cellular immune responses from baseline to week 48 and/or differences in cellular immune response between the study groups. | — |
