A Phase II Randomized, Open Label, Immunogenicity and Safety Trial of the Vaccine Based on the Recombinant Biologically Active HIV-1 Tat Protein in Anti-Tat Negative HIV-1 Infected HAART-treated Adult Subjects. (ISS T-002)

NCT00751595 Phase 2 COMPLETED

The study is a randomized, open label, phase II clinical trial directed at evaluating the immunogenicity (as a primary end-point) and the safety (as a secondary end-point), of the recombinant HIV-1 Tat vaccine in HIV-1 infected adult subjects, anti-Tat antibody negative, HAART-treated with chronic suppressed HIV-1 infection, CD4+ T cell counts \>= 200 cells/microliter, levels of plasma viremia \< 50 copies/ml in the last 6 months prior to the screening and without a history of virologic rebound. The immunogenicity of 3 or 5 immunizations of the two different vaccine doses (7.5 and 30 micrograms) of the Tat vaccine has been evaluated.

Primary outcomes

• Humoral and cellular immune responses to Tat — up to 144 weeks
  It has been measured by the induction, magnitude and persistence of the humoral and cellular immune responses to Tat and by comparing the immunogenicity of a 3 or 5 immunizations of the 7.5 microg and 30 microg vaccine doses.
