Immunopathogenesis of Acute and Early HIV Infection and the Role of HIV-Specific CD4 T Cell Responses and the Effect of Their Enhancement by Potent Antiretroviral Drugs and an HIV Vaccine Adequate Vaccine Was Not Provided.
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Patients elected to take licensed drugs. The vaccine was not provided for evaluation, multiple licensed drugs not randomized, and 2 other interventions for HIV Infections. Completed, enrolled 58 participants across 2 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the role of HIV-specific CD4 T cell responses and immune responses dependent upon these CD4 responses that develop when antiretroviral drugs are started during acute or recent HIV infection, whether these CD4 responses can be enhanced with a therapeutic HIV vaccine (HIV-1 immunogen), and what pattern of HIV-specific immune responses is associated with control of HIV upon discontinuation of antiretroviral drugs during an analytical therapeutic interruption. Participants will be treatment-naive adults with acute or early HIV infection who will choose to start or not start anti-HIV drugs at the beginning of the study. NOTE: In August 2007 we were notified by the manufacturer of the candidate vaccine that they were no longer making the vaccine, and that the vaccine would no longer be available. Unfortunately too few participants have received either the vaccine or placebo to conclude anything about efficacy. No safety problems occurred.
