Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity Study of 2 Dose Levels of Trimeric Glycoprotein140 (gp140) in Healthy Adult Volunteers

June 3, 2016 updated by: Crucell Holland BV

A First in Human Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of Two Dose Levels of Trimeric gp140 Protein in Healthy Adult Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of 2 different dose levels of trimeric glycoprotein140 (gp140) administered as a 2-dosage regimen, intramuscularly (injection of a substance into a muscle), with and without aluminum phosphate as adjuvant in healthy human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-uninfected participants.

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

This is a single-center, randomized (the study drug is assigned by chance), placebo-controlled (study in which the experimental treatment or procedure is compared to a pretend treatment with no drug in it to test if the drug has a real effect), and double-blind (neither physician nor participant knows the treatment that the participant receives) study. The study comprises a Screening Period (up to 4 weeks), a Vaccination Period (participants will be vaccinated on Days 1 and 29), and a Follow-up Period (up to 48 weeks). All eligible participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of the 2 sequential cohorts (low dose cohort and high dose cohort). Participants in low dose cohort will receive 1 of the following treatments: low dose (50 microgram [mcg]) gp140 drug product (DP), low dose gp140 DP with adjuvant (aluminum phosphate), placebo matched to low dose DP; and participants in high dose cohort will receive 1 of the following treatments: high dose (250 mcg) gp140 DP, high dose gp140 DP with adjuvant, and placebo matched to high dose DP. There will be an interim safety review of safety/tolerability from low-dose cohort before the high-dose cohort receives study treatment. Total study duration will be 56 weeks per participant. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

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

18 years to 50 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participant must be healthy on the basis of physical examination, medical history, electrocardiogram (ECG), laboratory criteria, and vital signs measurement performed at Screening
  • Participants are negative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection at Screening (negative United States Food and Drug Administration-approved HIV diagnostic blood test)
  • All female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative serum (beta human chorionic gonadotropin) at Screening, and a negative urine pregnancy test pre-dose on Day 1 and Day 29

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participant has chronic active hepatitis B or active hepatitis C, active syphilis infection, chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomonas. Active syphilis documented by exam or serology unless positive serology is due to past treated infection

  • Participant has any clinically significant acute or chronic medical condition that in the opinion of the Investigator would preclude participation (for example, history of seizure disorders, bleeding/clotting disorder, autoimmune disease, active malignancy, poorly controlled asthma, active tuberculosis or other systemic infections)
  • Participant has had major surgery within the 4 weeks prior to study entry or planned major surgery through the course of the study

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
Number of Participants With Local and Systemic Reactogenicity Events Over 8 Days After First Vaccination
Time Frame: Day 8
Participants will be asked to note occurrences of local reactions: erythema, induration, swelling, pain/tenderness, itching, or warmth at the injection site, and systemic events: daily temperature, fatigue, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, chills, nausea, vomiting, rashes, and general itching daily for 8 days post-vaccination. These occurrences will be recorded through the memory aid provided to serve as a reminder to the participants for the next clinic visit.
Day 8
Number of Participants With Local and Systemic Reactogenicity Events Over 8 Days After Second Vaccination
Time Frame: Day 36
Participants will be asked to note occurrences of local reactions: erythema, induration, swelling, pain/tenderness, itching, or warmth at the injection site, and systemic events: daily temperature, fatigue, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, chills, nausea, vomiting, rashes, and general itching daily for 8 days post-vaccination. These occurrences will be recorded through the memory aid provided to serve as a reminder to the participants for the next clinic visit.
Day 36
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: Week 52 or early withdrawal
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.
Week 52 or early withdrawal

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Envelop (Env) Binding Antibody Titer at Week 8
Time Frame: Week 8
The humoral immune response will be assessed by Env Clade C-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) binding antibody titer at Week 8.
