Trial summary

Intramuscular (IM) administration of HIV lipopeptide vaccines have been shown to be able to induce HIV-1-specific T cell-mediated immune responses. The objective of this trial was to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of LIPO-4 vaccine (HIV lipopeptides including 4 peptides from Gag, Pol, RT and Nef HIV-1… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib Vaccine Trial Evaluating the Safety and Immunogenicity of HIV Lipopeptides by Two Administration Routes (Intramuscular And Intradermal) in Healthy Adult Volunteers. ANRS VAC16 Trial

Intramuscular (IM) administration of HIV lipopeptide vaccines have been shown to be able to induce HIV-1-specific T cell-mediated immune responses. The objective of this trial was to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of LIPO-4 vaccine (HIV lipopeptides including 4 peptides from Gag, Pol, RT and Nef HIV-1 proteins, each peptide linked to TT) intradermally (ID) compared to IM administration.

Read the detailed description

Dose-sparing strategies that use intradermal (ID) delivery of vaccines may be one approach for improving a vaccines immunogenicity and reducing the cost of vaccines.

In this study, 68 HIV-negative healthy adult volunteers, 21-55 years old, all belonging to the "Volunteers for a Vaccine" network set up by ANRS, were randomized to receive at weeks 0, 4, and 12, either 3 IM doses of 0.5 ml of LIPO-4 containing 500 µg of each peptide (n= 35 volunteers), or 3 ID doses of 0.1 ml, containing 100 µg of each peptide (n=33 volunteers). Total follow-up was 48 weeks. Safety was assessed clinically and by laboratory tests. Participants were given diary cards to record adverse events. HIV-1 immune responses were assessed by ELISPOT and lymphoproliferative assay at weeks 0, 2, 6, 14, 24, and 48

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lipopeptides LIPO-4Biological

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Clinical and biological safety (over or equal to degree two of a adverse event grading scale) of LIPO-4 by ID and IM routes during the study

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Comparaison of CD4 positive cells responses using

  2. lymphoprolifération test and CD8 positive cells responses using the capacity of these cells to synthesize IFN following stimulation with peptides of interest (ELISPOT IFN test) following IM or ID administration at weeks 2, 6, 14, 24, and 48

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lipopeptides LIPO-4 in people with HIV Infections and HIV Seronegativity, run by French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical and biological safety (over or equal to degree two of a adverse event grading scale) of LIPO-4 by ID and IM routes during the study. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00121121, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Mar 2007.
