Dermal HIV-1 Immunization During Anti-retroviral Therapy Followed by Repeated Treatment Interruptions (Vac09)
8 de junho de 2010 atualizado por: Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control
Active Immunotherapy Against HIV During Highly Active Anti-retroviral Therapy Followed by Repeated Treatment Interruptions
In this study, the investigators evaluated a therapeutic HIV-1 DNA vaccine administered with a novel topical application method to 12 chronically HIV-infected cART treated patients.
The HIV DNA plasmids used in this study encode for envelope gp160 of HIV-1 subtypes A, B and C, rev B, Gag A and B and reverse transcriptase (RT) B. The patients were randomly assigned to three groups; group 1 (n=4) were immunized six times with 0.4 mg of HIV DNA plasmids topically, group 2 (n=4) were immunized six times with 0.4 mg of HIV DNA plasmids topically and treated with 500 mg of hydroxyurea daily until visit 10, group 3 (n=4) four patients received placebo.
The immunization was performed during three cycles of 7 weeks of cART followed by four weeks of therapy interruption.
After the last cycle of cART the patients were maintained on a definitive treatment interruption until CD4+ T cell counts dropped below 350/ mm3 at two time points.
Cellular and humoral immune responses, viral load and CD4+ T a cell count was analysed throughout the study.

Experimental: HIV DNA + Hydroxyurea
0.4 mg of DNA plasmids encoding HIV env A, B, C and Rev B, gag A, B and RT mut formulated in PEI and glucose was applied topically with the DermaPrep procedure six times during cycles of 7 weeks of active HAART.
Every immunization cycle was followed by four weeks of therapy interruption.
The patients also received 500 mg of hydroxyurea daily.

Descrição da medida |
|---|---|
|
Safety and feasibility
|
The safety and feasibility of dermal HIV-1 DNA vaccination will be evaluated by recording all medical events.
They will be graded as to their seriousness, severity and relationship to the immunization.
Plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and T-cell levels will be closely monitored.
In addition to this the patient's individual experience and quality of life will be assessed.

Treatment effects
|
To evaluate whether dermal HIV-1 DNA vaccination can prolong periods without treatment in HIV-infected individuals.
This will be evaluated by structured treatment interruption with close monitoring of HIV viral load and CD4+ T cell counts
