Evaluation on Seropositive Patients of a Synthetic Vaccine Targeting the HIV Tat Protein (EVATAT)

February 9, 2016 updated by: BIOSANTECH
Tat Oyi vaccination on seropositive patients could help their immune system to recognize and neutralize Tat. The neutralization of extra cellular Tat should help the cellular immune response to eliminate HIV-1 infected cells.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The protocol got a favorable judgment from an ethic committee (CPP SudMed 2) on November 9th, 2012 and was authorized by the French drug agency (ANSM) on January 24th, 2013. It will be proposed to HIV-1 infected volunteers to participate to a phase I/II clinical trial to test the Tat Oyi vaccine. Volunteers will have an undetectable viremia (lower than 40 copies/ml) and a level of CD4 cells higher than 350 /mm3 since at least one year under Anti Retroviral Treatment (ART). It will be a randomized double blinded clinical trial with a placebo.

Main Objective: No undesirable events due to vaccination and viremia remaining < 100 copies/ml after interruption of cART.

Secondary objective: An immune response against Tat characterized by the cross recognition of Tat variants representative of the five main HIV-1 clades.

Main parameter of evaluation: Plasma viremia. Secondary parameter of evaluation: Detection with ELISA of antibodies able to recognize Tat variants representative of the five main HIV-1 clades.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 60 years (Adult)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Optimal vaccine dose (phase I/II)
Time Frame: Two years
No undesirable events due to vaccination and viremia remaining < 100 copies/ml after interruption of ART.
Two years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
