ClinConnect Summary

The prospective volunteers will be screened and HLA typed for Class I MHC haplotypes. Only volunteers possessing HLA alleles A33, B8, B27, B35 or Bw62 or any combination thereof will be enrolled in the study. Subjects will be allocated to 1 of 2 study groups. Group 1 will receive 70 mcg of P3C541b or the placebo and Group II will receive 350 mcg of P3C541b or the placebo. NOTE: Enrollment for Group II wil not begin until at least 5 Group I participants have reached day 14 without serious adverse events.

  • • Negative for Hepatitis B surface antigen.
  • • Normal urine dipstick.
  • • Normal history and physical examination.
  • • Availability for follow-up planned duration of the study (12 months).
  • • Viable EBV line prior to enrollment.
  • Risk behavior: Required:
  • • Lower risk sexual behavior as defined by AVEG.
  • • Exclusion Criteria
  • Co-existing Condition:
  • Patients with any of the following symptoms or conditions are excluded:
  • • Medical or psychiatric condition or occupational responsibilities, which preclude subject compliance with the protocol (e.g., recent suicidal ideation or present psychosis).

  • Patients with any of the following prior conditions are excluded:
  • • History of immunodeficiency, chronic illness, malignancy, autoimmune disease.
  • • History of cancer, unless there has been surgical excision followed by a sufficient observation period to give a reasonable assurance of a cure.
  • • History of anaphylaxis or history of other serious adverse reactions to vaccines.
  • • History of serious allergic reaction to any substance, requiring hospitalization or emergent medical care.
  • • History of suicide attempts or past psychosis.
  • Prior Medication:
  • Excluded:
  • • History of use of immunosuppressive medication.
  • • Live attenuated vaccines within 60 days of study.
  • NOTE:
  • • Medically indicated subunit or killed vaccines (e.g., influenza, pneumococcal) are not exclusionary but should be given at least 2 weeks away from HIV immunizations.
  • • Use of experimental agents within 30 days prior to study.
  • Prior Treatment:
  • Excluded:
  • • Receipt of blood products or immunoglobulin in the past 6 months.
  • Risk Behavior:
  • Excluded:
  • • Subjects with identifiable higher risk behavior for HIV infection as determined by screening questionnaire designed to identify risk factors for HIV infection.
