About this trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of therapeutic vaccination with chimpanzee adenovirus ChAdOx1- and poxvirus modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-vectored conserved mosaic T-cell vaccines in a sequential regimen with the toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist vesatolimod (VES) and two broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) compared to placebo, to induce HIV-1 control during analytic treatment interruption (ATI).

Disqualifiers
Currently pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant during study participation.
Prior receipt of anti-HIV broadly neutralizing antibody therapy.
Receipt of any non-HIV monoclonal antibody therapy within 1 year prior to study entry.
Prior receipt of a latency-reversing agent (LRA).

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Occurrence of any serious adverse event (AE), Grade 3 or higher AE, or AE that leads to permanent discontinuation of study treatment regardless of grade, that is related to ChAdOx1-MVA/HIVconsvX vaccines, vesatolimod, GS-5423 or GS-2872
Proportion of participants with viral control during an ATI defined as remaining off ART with HIV-1 RNA <1,000 copies/mL at Week 16 following ATI.
Secondary outcomes
Change in cell-associated HIV-1 RNA and DNA levels
Change in plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load as measured by single copy assay (SCA)
Change in intact proviral DNA levels (IPDA)
HIV-1-specific T-cell responses to the conserved regions present in the vaccines as measured by IFN-γ ELISPOT - total frequency and breadth (number of recognized peptide pools out of 10).
