Determining an Effective Site (Groin Versus Arm) for Giving HIV Vaccines
The Role of Immunization Site in Eliciting Mucosal Immunity
연구 개요
상세 설명
The goal of this vaccination study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the Therion Biologic Corporation (Cambridge, MA) TBC-3B vaccine. TBC-3B consists of live, recombinant vaccinia virus expressing the env and gag/pol genes of HIV-1 strain IIIB. TBC-3B will be administered by subcutaneous injection in the groin and in the deltoid region, with the aim of determining which site is better at inducing mucosal immune responses. Because the groin area drains to the inguinal lymph nodes, vaccines given there may stimulate local immunologic activity in the draining rectal mucosa as well as systemic immunologic activity in the blood.
Volunteers will be followed for 20 months. The first 2 months of the study will be an evaluation of volunteers' normal immune function. Volunteers will then be randomly selected to receive the TBC-3B experimental HIV vaccine in either the groin area or in the deltoid region. Neither volunteers nor study personnel will know which group the volunteer will be in until the day of the first immunization. All volunteers will receive TBC-3B.
During the 20 months of the study, volunteers will be asked to donate blood up to 14 times, undergo seven flexible sigmoidoscopies with biopsies, and receive three pairs of vaccine injections. For up to 36 days after each experimental vaccination, volunteers will be asked to abstain from activity that might spread the virus in the vaccine and put others at risk. Volunteers will receive specific instructions on how to avoid these risks. Volunteers will also be asked not to engage in receptive anal intercourse during the study.

Inclusion Criteria
- HIV uninfected
- Low risk for HIV-1 (no sexually transmitted disease within 1 year of study entry, no history of injection drug use, no sex with an HIV infected individual or active injection drug user within 6 months of study entry, no unsafe sexual activity with unknown partners) or mutually monogamous relationship with a known HIV seronegative partner (per subject report) for 6 months prior to study entry
- Born after 1970
- Willingness to abstain from sexual activity for up to 30 days after each vaccination
- Willingness to abstain from receptive anal intercourse during the 20 months of the study
- Available for follow-up during the 20 month duration of the study
- Acceptable methods of contraception
Exclusion Criteria
- Immunosuppression of any type, including those related to lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, leukemia, lymphoma, generalized malignancy, agammaglobulinemia, and therapy with alkylating agents, antimetabolites, radiation, or large doses of corticosteroids
- Gastrointestinal complaints such as inflammatory bowel disease or chronic diarrhea
- Medical or psychiatric condition or occupational responsibilities which preclude volunteer's compliance with the protocol; specifically excluded are people with a history of suicide attempts, recent suicidal ideation, or who have past or present psychosis
- Prior smallpox or vaccinia-based vaccination
- Live attenuated vaccines within 60 days of study. Medically indicated subunit or killed vaccines (e.g., influenza, pneumococcal) are not exclusionary, but should be given at least 1 month prior to TBC-3B immunizations.
- Anaphylaxis or other serious adverse reactions to vaccines
- Serious allergic reaction to any substance requiring hospitalization or emergent medical care (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome, bronchospasm, or hypotension)
- Sexually transmitted disease in the year prior to study entry
- Genital HSV (herpes) or other ulcerative genital lesions
- Active HBV (hepatitis B) or HCV (hepatitis C) infection
- Nonprescribed injection drug use
- Pregnant or lactating women
- Acute, chronic, or exfoliative skin conditions (e.g., atopic dermatitis, burns, impetigo, varicella zoster, eczema)
- Use of experimental agents within 30 days prior to study
- Household contacts with or ongoing occupational exposure to any of the following: pregnant women; children < 12 months of age; people with acute, chronic, or exfoliative skin conditions (e.g., atopic dermatitis, burns, impetigo, varicella zoster, eczema); people with an immunodeficiency or using immunosuppressive medications
