Phase I/IIa Dose-escalation Clinical Study of VAC-3S

January 30, 2015 updated by: InnaVirVax

Multicentre, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Phase I/IIa Dose-escalation Clinical Study of a Therapeutic Vaccine (VAC-3S) Intended to Confer Protection Against Immunopathological Effects of HIV-1 in Infected Patients

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the therapeutic vaccine candidate VAC-3S in HIV-1 infected patients under AntiRetroviral Therapy (ART) with undetectable viral loads.
