About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Safety and Immunogenicity Study of the Pharmexa-Epimmune HIV-1 CTL Epitope-Based DNA Vaccine (EP HIV-1090) Administered Using a Biojector 2000 Needle Free Immunization Device in HIV-1 Infected Individuals Receiving Potent Combination Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)

The use of a Bioject 2000 needle free injection device (NFID) and a compressed immunization schedule will be safely tolerated and will augment the immunogenicity of the HIV-1 CTL epitope DNA vaccine (EP1090) in HIV-1 infected individuals receiving potent combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) and who have undetectable levels of viral replication in plasma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing EP1090 in people with HIV Infections, run by Epimmune at 2 sites in United States.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Dec 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Safety and Immunogenicity: defined as the effect of the vaccine on peripheral blood CD8 CTL responses, CD4 T cell counts, plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and clinical signs and symptoms. (time frame: six months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 24 Dec 2007.
