Summary

This study will evaluate the safety and virologic effect of an experimental human monoclonal antibody (mAb), VRC-HIVMAB060-00-AB (VRC01), alone or in combination with antiretroviral therapy (ART), in adults during early acute HIV infection.

Conditions

  • HIV Infections

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Placebo for VRC01

Administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 to 60 minutes using a volumetric pump

BIOLOGICAL

VRC01

40 mg/kg of VRC01 will be administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 to 60 minutes using a volumetric pump

DRUG

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) (regimen will vary within countries and by patient)

ART is provided by the study sites and consists of country guideline-recommended, available first line once-daily oral combination therapy: currently either efavirenz 600 mg/emtricitabine 200 mg/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg or efavirenz 600 mg/lamivudine 300 mg/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg. This initial ART regimen may be adjusted or switched to an alternate regimen as clinically indicated for regimen intolerance or failure.
