Study Evaluating Vaccine in Adults With HIV

A Phase 1 Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of an HIV CTL Multi-Epitope Peptide Vaccine Formulated With RC529-SE and GM-CSF Given to HIV-1 Positive Adults on Stable HAART.

The purpose of this study is to learn whether the study vaccine and adjuvants (drugs that are used to help improve immune responses) have an acceptable safety profile in treating individuals with HIV.

A second purpose of this study is to understand how the immune system responds to the study vaccine and adjuvants.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the HIV CTL MEP vaccine formulated with adjuvants, administered by intramuscular (IM) injection to HIV Pos adults receiving stable HAART. Subjects will receive vaccinations at months 0, 1, 3, and 6.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
To evaluate the subject immune system responds to the vaccinations. To evaluate RNA and protein patterns in the collected blood samples after vaccination.
