Experimental HIV vaccine trimer 4571 tested in small safety trial

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. HIV-1 infection, documented by any FDA-approved assay. NOTE: The term 'licensed' refers to a US FDA approved kit, which is required for all investigational new drug (IND) studies. 2. Receiving continuous antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least 24 months (defined as no interruptions longer than 30 consecutive days) and with no changes in the components of the ART for at least 8 weeks prior to study entry. A change in formulation (for example tenofovir disaproxil fumarate to tenofovir alafenamide) will not be considered a change in ART. 3. Screening CD4+ cell count ≥200cells/mm3 obtained within 60 days prior to study entry by any US laboratory that has a CLIA certification or its equivalent. 4. Plasma HIV-1 RNA levels \< 50 copies/ml for at least 24 months on ART prior to study entry using a FDA-approved assay performed by any laboratory that has a CLIA certification or its equivalent. Participants must have at least one documented HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/ml within 12 months prior to study entry. All available HIV-1 RNA measurements must be \< 50 copies/ml during the 24 months prior to study entry except as allowed by the following note. NOTE: Unconfirmed plasma HIV-1 RNA \> 50 copies/ml but \<200 copies/mL is allowed if followed by a subsequent value \< 50 copies/ml. 5. Screening HIV-1 RNA levels \<50 copies/mL using a FDA-approved assay performed by any laboratory that has a CLIA certification or its equivalent within 60 days prior to entry. 6. Men and women ages \> 18 years. 7. The following laboratory values obtained within 60 days prior to entry: * Hemoglobin ≥10 g/dL * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1000/mm3 * Platelet count ≥100,000/mm3 * Creatinine ≤ 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN) * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (SGPT) ≤2.5x ULN 8. Ability and willingness of participant to provide informed consent. 9. In the opinion of the investigator, no medical, mental health or other condition that precludes participation. 10. For persons who can become pregnant, negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 48 hours prior to entry by any US clinic or laboratory that has a CLIA certification or its equivalent, or is using a point-of-care (POC)/ CLIA-waived test. Persons who can become pregnant include women who have not been post-menopausal for at least 12 consecutive months, (i.e., who have had menses within the preceding 12 months) or women who have not undergone surgical sterilization (e.g. hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tubal ligation or salpingectomy). Self- report is acceptable documentation of menopause and sterilization. 11. All participants must agree not to participate in the conception process (eg, active attempt to become pregnant or to impregnate, sperm donation, in vitro fertilization), and if participating in sexual activity that could lead to pregnancy, the participant/partner must use at least one reliable form of contraception (condoms, with or without a spermicidal agent; a diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicide; an IUD; or hormone-based contraceptive), while receiving study treatment and for 12 weeks following the final study vaccine. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Known to have been started on antiretroviral therapy within 3 months of the presumed or known date of first acquiring HIV-1 infection; i.e., treated during acute HIV-1 infection 2. Currently breastfeeding or pregnant 3. Known allergy/sensitivity or any hypersensitivity to components of study vaccine or their formulation. 4. Known chronic inflammatory conditions such as, but not limited to, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis, inflammatory bowel disease (i.e., Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis), chronic pancreatitis, or autoimmune hepatitis, myositis, or myopathy. 5. Active drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the site investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements. 6. Serious medical illness that requires systemic treatment and/or hospitalization within 30 days prior to entry. 7. Use of systemic immunomodulators (e.g., interleukins, interferons, Cyclosporine), systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy, or investigational therapy within 60 days prior to study entry. NOTE: Participants receiving stable physiologic doses of glucocorticoids, defined as the equivalent of prednisone ≤10 mg/day, will not be excluded. Stable physiologic glucocorticoid doses should not be discontinued for the duration of the study. In addition, participants receiving inhaled or topical corticosteroids, or topical imiquimod will not be excluded. 8. Receipt of any investigational HIV immunotherapy or HIV therapeutic vaccination within 12 months prior to study entry. 9. History of positive HCV antibody with detectable HCV RNA in plasma within 48 Weeks prior to study entry. NOTE: Persons with positive HCV Ab but negative plasma HCV RNA are allowed to participate. Sites must document negative HCV RNA within 24 weeks of study entry. 10. Treatment for hepatitis C within 6 months prior to study entry. 11. History of positive HBsAg within 48 weeks prior to study entry. 12. History of severe reaction or anaphylaxis to prior vaccinations. 13. Body Mass Index \>40kg/m2. 14. Receipt of Blood products or immune globulins within 16 weeks prior to Enrollment as per protocol section 5.3.2. 15. Receipt of Live attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks prior to enrollment. 16. Current allergen immunotherapy with antigen injections, unless on maintenance schedule.
