Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is the main therapeutic management tool for HIV/AIDS. Despite its success in controlling viral load and disease progression, cART is expensive, associated with a range of significant side effects and depends for its efficacy on the patient's life-long commitment to high levels of treatment adherence. Immunotherapeutic agents can provide potential solutions to these shortcomings. Here we describe a Phase Ib trial of HIV-v, a synthetic immunotherapy that elicits T- and B-cell effector responses against HIV infected cells. METHODS:Fifty-nine cART-naive HIV-infected males aged 18-50 years with viral load of 5000-500,000 copies/ml and CD4 counts >350/μl were recruited for this multi-centre, randomised, double blind study. Volunteers received one low (250 μg) or high (500 μg) dose of HIV-v, either alone or adjuvanted (ISA-51). Safety, immunogenicity, CD4 count and viral load were monitored over 168 Days. RESULTS:HIV-v was well tolerated and the adjuvanted formulations elicited IgG responses in up to 75% of volunteers. The high adjuvanted dose also elicited cellular responses in 45% of tested volunteers. In these responding subjects viral loads were reduced by over 1 log (p=0.04) compared to Placebo and non-responders. No changes in CD4 count were observed. CONCLUSIONS:HIV-v is safe and can elicit T- and B-cell responses in ART-naive HIV patients that significantly reduce viral load. Improved dosing regimens and further research on long term efficacy are required, but HIV-v appears to have potential as an immunotherapeutic anti-viral agent. Trial registered as EudraCT-2009-010593-37 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01071031).
