This Phase 1 clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety and immune response of two experimental HIV vaccines, BG505 GT1.1 and 426c.Mod.Core-C4b, in HIV-negative adults. Using a prime-boost approach, the trial will assess these immunogens when combined with the 3M-052-AF and Alum adjuvants to understand their potential to generate effective antibody responses against HIV.
Safety and Tolerability: Determine the safety profile and tolerability of BG505 GT1.1 and 426c.Mod.Core-C4b in combination with 3M-052-AF and Alum adjuvants.
Antibody Response: Measure the quality and quantity of antibodies produced, focusing on Env-specific binding and neutralizing antibodies to assess potential protective effects.
This randomized, controlled, double-blind trial takes place across multiple research sites, ensuring robust data collection. Participants will receive the vaccine candidates intramuscularly, following a precise dosing schedule as per the study protocol.
This study represents a promising step toward developing an effective HIV vaccine by advancing our understanding of immune responses and antibody generation.
