Study summary

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety of GSK Biologicals' investigational HIV vaccine 732462, administered as two doses approximately 1 month apart, in a small group of HIV infected people.

  • Acute or chronic, clinically relevant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal functional abnormality, as determined by physical examination or laboratory screening tests.
  • Pregnant or lactating female.
  • Female planning to become pregnant or planning to discontinue contraceptive precautions.
  • Any condition (including alcohol and drug abuse) which, in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the subject's safety or adherence to the study protocol
  • History of medically confirmed autoimmune disease
  • History of malignancy, other than squamous cell or basal cell skin cancer, unless there has been surgical excision that is considered to have achieved cure
  • Asthma requiring daily steroid or long acting ß agonist prevention
  • Unstable asthma defined as:

    • Sudden acute attacks occurring in less than three hours without an obvious trigger.
    • Hospitalisation for asthma in the last two years
  • Food or wine induced asthma

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of subjects with solicited local symptoms

    Assessed solicited local symptoms were: pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain = pain causing inability to perform usual social and functional activities. Grade 1 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond (\>) 50 millimeters (mm) of injection site.

    Time frame: During a 7-day follow-up period after each vaccination (i.e. the day of vaccination and 6 subsequent days)

  2. Number of subjects with solicited general symptoms

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were abdominal pain, anorexia, diarrhoea, fatigue, headache, myalgia, nausea, sweating, vomiting and temperature \[oral temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.7 degrees Celsius (°C)\]. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 symptoms = symptoms causing inability to perform usual social and functional activities. Grade 3 anorexia = loss of appetite associated with significant weight loss. Grade 3 diarrhoea = bloody diarrhoea or increase of ≥7 stools per 24 hour period, or IV fluid replacement. Grade 3 nausea/vomiting = persistent nausea/vomiting resulting in minimal oral intake for more (\>) than 48 hours/in orthostatic hypotension or aggressive rehydration indicated. Grade 3 temperature = temperature between 39.4- 40.5 °C

    Time frame: During a 7-day follow-up period after each vaccination (i.e. the day of vaccination and 6 subsequent days)

  3. Number of subjects with unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination. Grade 3 AE = an AE which prevented normal, everyday activities. Related = AE assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Time frame: Day 0-Day 29 after each vaccination

  4. Number of subjects with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and medically attended visits

    Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity. Medically attended visits include any kind of medical attention such as hospitalization, an emergency room visit or a visit to or from medical personnel (medical doctor) for any reason.

    Time frame: From Screening at Day -42 and up to the additional visit post study end, Month 12

  7. Time to initiation of HAART therapy (for treatment-naïve HIV-infected subjects) or change in HAART therapy (for HIV-infected subjects receiving HAART)

    Time to HAART initiation and/or HAART changes was expressed in days from administration of first dose.

    Time frame: From Day 0 to Month 12

Secondary outcomes

  1. CD4 count and change of CD4 count from baseline

    Baseline was defined as the value measured in the pre-vaccination blood sample obtained at Day 0 prior to the administration of the first dose.

    Baseline was defined as the value measured in the pre-vaccination blood sample obtained at Day 0 prior to the administration of the first dose.
