About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of therapeutic vaccination with chimpanzee adenovirus ChAdOx1- and poxvirus modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-vectored conserved mosaic T-cell vaccines in a sequential regimen with the toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist vesatolimod (VES) and two broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) compared to placebo, to induce HIV-1 control during analytic treatment interruption (ATI).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Provision of written informed consent.

History of Initiation of combination ART within 90 days of acute HIV diagnosis

On ART for at least 12 months with no known ART interruption >28 consecutive days within 12 months prior to Step 1 Study Entry

ART with an integrase inhibitor-based regimen with two NRTIs or dolutegravir/lamivudine regimen for at least 6 weeks prior to Study Entry.

Disqualifiers

Currently pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant during study participation.

Prior receipt of anti-HIV broadly neutralizing antibody therapy.

Receipt of any non-HIV monoclonal antibody therapy within 1 year prior to study entry.

Prior receipt of a latency-reversing agent (LRA).

  • Placebo

    Biological/Vaccine

    Placebos for vaccines, VES, and bnAbs

Treatment groups

36 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Arm A: Active ChAdOx1 and MVA/HIVconsvX vaccines, vesatolimod and bnAbsExperimental treatment 7 interventions
Group B: Arm B: Placebos for vaccines, vesatolimod and bnAbsPlacebo comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Occurrence of any serious adverse event (AE), Grade 3 or higher AE, or AE that leads to permanent discontinuation of study treatment regardless of grade, that is related to ChAdOx1-MVA/HIVconsvX vaccines, vesatolimod, GS-5423 or GS-2872

Time frame
Week 0 to Week 64
2

Proportion of participants with viral control during an ATI defined as remaining off ART with HIV-1 RNA <1,000 copies/mL at Week 16 following ATI.

Time frame
Week 0 to Week 16 on Step 2

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in cell-associated HIV-1 RNA and DNA levels

Time frame
Weeks 0 to Week 24 on Step 2
2

Change in plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load as measured by single copy assay (SCA)

Time frame
Weeks 0 to Week 24 on Step 2
3

Change in intact proviral DNA levels (IPDA)

Time frame
Weeks 0 to Week 24 on Step 2
4

HIV-1-specific T-cell responses to the conserved regions present in the vaccines as measured by IFN-γ ELISPOT - total frequency and breadth (number of recognized peptide pools out of 10).

Time frame
Week 0 to Week 24 on Step 2
