Purpose
The purpose of this study is to see whether an HIV vaccine, ALVAC vCP205, is safe and can prevent HIV infection. The vCP205 vaccine will be tested with another vaccine, gp160MN/LAI-2.
| Condition | Intervention | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| HIV Infections HIV Seronegativity | Biological: gp160 MN/LAI-2 Biological: ALVAC-HIV MN120TMG (vCP205) | Phase 1 |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Masking: Double-Blind Primary Purpose: Prevention |
| Official Title: | A Phase I, Dose-Ranging Trial of the Pasteur Merieux Connaught (PMC) Oligomeric HIV-1 gp160MN/LAI-2 Vaccine Alone or Primed With Live Recombinant ALVAC-HIV (vCP205) in HIV Seronegative Adults |

This study consists of 2 parts:
Part A: Dose-escalation protocol using oligomeric gp160MN/LAI-2. Part B: Placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind (within arm) study of vCP205 priming with gp160MN/LAI-2 boosting.
Volunteers are followed for at least 1 year.
