• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2025-02-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is an open-label phase 1b clinical trial enrolling people living with HIV (PLWH) who are antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve or have not been on ART for > 24 weeks. This study will enroll PLWH to assess the safety, tolerability, and antiviral effect of bispecific and long-acting bNAbs, alone and in combination. The study will be conducted as a single center study at National Institute for Medical Research-Mbeya Medical Research Center (NIMR-MMRC) in Mbeya, Tanzania.

20 PLWH will be sequentially enrolled into one of 5 arms, each arm comprised of 4 participants. Sequential enrollment will occur in the following order:

• Arm 1 will receive standard daily oral ART.

• Arm 2 will receive a single dose of 10E8.4/iMab 600mg intravenous injection (IV).

• Arm 3 will receive a single dose of 10E8.4/iMab 600mg intramuscular injection (IM).

• Arm 4 will receive a single dose of 10E8.4/iMab 1800mg IV.

• Arm 5 will receive a single dose of combination therapy with both 10E8.4/iMab 1800mg IV and VRC07-523LS 1200mg IV.

• Phase: Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
