Brief summary

This study will evaluate the safety and virologic effect of an experimental human monoclonal antibody (mAb), VRC-HIVMAB060-00-AB (VRC01), alone or in combination with antiretroviral therapy (ART), in adults during early acute HIV infection.

Detailed description

Human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) may have the potential to treat HIV infection by preventing the spread of the virus. This study will evaluate an experimental mAB known as VRC-HIVMAB060-00-AB (VRC01). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and virologic effect of VRC01, alone or in combination with ART, in adults with early acute HIV infection. Researchers will also evaluate the effect of VRC01 on the establishment of an HIV reservoir during early acute HIV infection. This study will enroll participants who are diagnosed with early acute HIV infection. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group 1 will begin ART and receive a single infusion of placebo at Day 0. Group 2 will begin ART and receive a single infusion of VRC01 at Day 0. Group 3 will receive a single infusion of VRC01 on Day 0 and begin ART on Day 7. ART will vary by country and will consist of country guideline-recommended, available first line combination therapy: currently either efavirenz 600 mg/emtricitabine 200 mg/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg or efavirenz 600 mg/lamivudine 300 mg/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg. This initial ART regimen may be adjusted or switched to an alternate regimen as clinically indicated for regimen intolerance or failure. Study visits will occur at Days 0, 1, 3, 7, 10, 14, 18, 21, 25, 28, 42, 56, 84, 112, 168, and 175. Visits will include a physical examination, medical history review, and blood collection. Neurocognitive testing will take place on Day 168. Some participants may take part in optional study procedures at various time points during the study including mucosal secretion collection, rectosigmoid biopsy, lymph node biopsy, leukapheresis, and lumbar puncture.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALVRC01

40 mg/kg of VRC01 will be administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 to 60 minutes using a volumetric pump

Administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 to 60 minutes using a volumetric pump

DRUGAntiretroviral therapy (ART) (regimen will vary within countries and by patient)

ART is provided by the study sites and consists of country guideline-recommended, available first line once-daily oral combination therapy: currently either efavirenz 600 mg/emtricitabine 200 mg/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg or efavirenz 600 mg/lamivudine 300 mg/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg. This initial ART regimen may be adjusted or switched to an alternate regimen as clinically indicated for regimen intolerance or failure.

Only grade 3 reactogenicity events/AEs that are determined by the study physicians to be related to mAb are included. Adverse events, including reactogenicity events, are graded according to the Division of AIDS (DAIDS) Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events v2.0 dated November 2014. This outcome is the total number of solicited adverse events (reactogenicity events) that had a severity of grade 3 or higher and were related to the mAb. Note that higher grades indicate worse severity.

This outcome is the combined total number of grade 3 or higher mAb-related reactogenicity events and mAb-related adverse events for each group. Only grade 3 reactogenicity events/AEs that are determined by the study physicians to be related to mAb are included. Adverse events, including reactogenicity events, are graded according to the Division of AIDS (DAIDS) Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events v2.0 dated November 2014. This outcome is the total number of solicited adverse events (reactogenicity events) that had a severity of grade 3 or higher and were related to the mAb. Note that higher grades indicate worse severity.
