Co-adaptation Between Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Cluster of Differentiation 8 (CD8) Cellular Immunity ("ImmunoCo27")

September 27, 2018 updated by: ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases

Study of Co-adaptation Between Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Cluster of Differentiation 8 (CD8) Cellular Immunity, for 27 Years of Natural Evolution and on Treatment

The objective is to characterize the viral evolution and viral factors determining HIV virulence, the evolution of the HIV reservoir in PBMC and the co-evolution of anti-HIV CD8 T cell repertoires. The coordinated study of virus evolution, host responses and identification of genetic determinants of virulence should allow to better understand mechanisms of HIV pathogenicity and persistence of mutations in viral reservoirs.

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 importance of the still unmet challenges raised by researches on the eradication of the HIV reservoirs and by the need for developing efficient vaccines against HIV, imposes a much deeper understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating the co-evolution and the co-adaptation between HIV and its host during the natural course of the disease an during treatment. The unique cell collection established 27 years ago in an ANRS cohort (ImmunoCo) and the new methods of ultra deep sequencing, or " next generation sequencing", allow to produce innovative analysis of the HIV variability and of reservoirs as well as of the repertoires used by CD8 T cells responses to provide new insights in the very long term relationships between the virus and its host. The objective is to progress at unprecedented levels in the understanding of these mechanisms thanks to the unique opportunity offered by this Immunoco cohort initially composed of 152 patients infected by HIV, most of them untreated when recruited from 1991 to 97 at Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital, with 28 subjects still followed in this hospital and efficiently treated for the last 15 years. The ImmunoCo cohort had initially been set up to study the characteristics of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses to HIV with disease progression. This exceptional and still available 1991-97 cell collection enriched of extra samples from 1988 to nowadays, allow us to perform a retrospective longitudinal analysis over 27 years in the 28 patients still followed-up, with a new blood sampling in 2016. The project involves 5 highly experienced teams and aims at characterizing in parallel: 1) the viral evolution and viral factors determining virulence, as markers predicting progression of infection, by performing an ultra deep sequencing of the whole HIV genome and of viral variants archived in blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and 2) the evolution of the reservoir in PBMC and of the distribution of variants archived in those reservoirs over time, in relationship with exposure to the various selective pressures due to CTL or antiretroviral therapy (ART), 3) the co-evolution of anti-HIV CD8 T cell repertoires: the hypothesis is that the emergence of new CD8 T clonotypes displaying a great sensibility for variant antigens, or a cross-reactivity able to recognize similarly wild-type and mutant epitopes allow an efficient long term control of viral replication, and that cell loss by clonal exhaustion is associated to disease progression. The coordinated study of virus evolution, host responses and identification of genetic determinants of virulence should allow to better understand mechanisms of HIV pathogenicity and persistence of mutations in viral reservoirs, especially of defective mutants or resistant mutants to ART, as well as the co-adaptation of CD8 T cell repertoires and of viral variability determining the capacities of viral control by anti-HIV CD8 T cells. Altogether these results should open new strategies for inhibiting viral replication and for controlling viral reservoirs for therapeutic and vaccinal perspectives.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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

40 years to 95 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
