A Dose-Escalation Study of MDX-010 Administered Monthly as Immunotherapy in Subjects Infected With Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)

A Phase 1 interventional study of MDX-010 in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb. Completed at 5 sites in United States. Open to male participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-01-23.

Primary conditionAcquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome(the registry's first term)UnverifiedIs this wrong?The registry often attaches Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome to studies about something else, and this study's title and listed conditions do not name it. No better condition is named, so the registry's term is kept.

From the registry’s dates

  • Primary completion was Feb 2006, 20 years 8 months ago, and no results have been posted to the registry.
  • Registered 14 years 8 months after the study started (first participant enrolled Apr 2003, registered Jan 2018).

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Detectable viremia (HIV-1 RNA level between 1,000 and 100,000 copies/mL)
  • greater than or equal to 100 cells/mm3
  • Current antiretroviral therapy regimen following at least 2 previous changes for documented virologic failure
  • Documented resistance tests demonstrating the presence of at least 1 mutation to each major therapeutic class of antiretroviral therapy
  • No significant organ compromise

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Initiation of any new medications that might reasonably affect the immune response or viral load within 4 weeks prior to screening
  • Tetanus booster immunization within 2 months of screening, or a history of anaphylaxis or severe local reaction to the tetanus vaccine
  • History of disease at risk for recurrence
  • Current , except Stage A or B cervical carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma
  • Chronic viral hepatitis, due to or undergoing current treatment or Hepatitis B DNA greater than 25 pg/cc or Hepatitis C RNA greater than 20,000 IU/cc
  • Currently undergoing treatment or prophylaxis for tuberculosis infection
  • Chronic active infectious disease (other than )
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

CD4 count

The number of CD4 cells, a type of white blood cell, in a given amount of blood. It is used to follow how well the immune system is doing in HIV.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Apr 2003 to primary completion in Feb 2006, 34 months.

Of 76 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 5 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 18. This study's 34 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 139 studies reached it within 14 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 28.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 23, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
