Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* HIV-1 infected individuals eligible and still fulfilling the criteria for the VIR-NCHR-01 protocol (ITV study)
* Received all 3 immunisations
* Remained in follow-up for at least 52 weeks
* Continued to take combination antiretroviral therapy with no evidence of treatment failure at the time entering the roll-over phase
* Written informed consent obtained

Criteria for Withdrawal of Study Participants

* Incidental or progression of disease which, in the opinion of the principal investigator, should preclude further study participation
* If the study participant required cytotoxic or immunosuppressive chemo- or radiation therapy
* If the study participant required any medications that when combined with the study vaccination, would in the opinion of the principal investigator, jeopardise the validity of the individual's continued participation
* Administration of prohibited alternative therapy
* Study participant non-compliance
* All study participants are required to adhere to the protocol evaluation schedule. Failure to adhere with this schedule without having first provided justification may result in the participant being withdrawn from the study
* At the request of the study participant or principal investigator without prejudice to future health care
* In the opinion of the investigator, if it is not in the patient's best interests to continue the study
* At the request of the National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research (NCHECR) with reasonable cause
* At the advice of the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB)
