Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of N-803, an IL-15 superagonist, with or without combination broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), to induce HIV-1 control during analytic treatment interruption (ATI).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
HIV Infection Biological: N-803 (IL-15 Superagonist) Biological: VRC07-523LS Biological: 10-1074 Phase 1

Detailed Description:

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of N-803, an IL-15 superagonist, with or without combination broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), to induce HIV-1 control during analytic treatment interruption (ATI).

Participants will be screened for eligibility and undergo leukapheresis, and a subset will also undergo optional rectal biopsy and/or lymph node fine needle aspirations (FNAs) (Step 1).

After pre-entry and determination of eligibility in Step 1, participants will be randomized before Step 2 entry to either the N-803 only arm (Arm A) or the N-803 with combination bNAbs arm (Arm B):

  • Arm A will receive a dose of N-803, 6 mcg/kg, subcutaneously 1 week after Step 2 entry and then every 3 weeks for a total of eight doses (during the first 22 weeks).

  • Arm B will receive the following (during the first 22 weeks):

    • Combination bNAb at Step 2 entry with VRC07-523LS dosed at 20 mg/kg and 10-1074 dosed at 30 mg/kg, intravenously;
    • A dose of N-803, 6 mcg/kg, subcutaneously 1 week after Step 2 entry and then every 3 weeks for a total of eight doses;
    • A second dose of 10-1074 at week 9 of Step 2 dosed at 30 mg/kg, intravenously

After completing randomized treatment (Step 2), participants will interrupt antiretroviral therapy (ART) (Step 3) and will be followed closely to monitor for indications for reinitiation of ART (Step 4).

After Step 2 entry, most participants will be followed for approximately 100 weeks across the remaining three study steps (i.e., Steps 2, 3, and 4).

Step 1 will last up to 90 days, Step 2 will last approximately 52 weeks (study intervention), Step 3 will last up to 24 weeks (ATI), and Step 4 will last 24 weeks (ART restart).

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Occurrence of a Grade ≥3 adverse event (AE) that is at least possibly related to N-803, as judged by the Clinical Management Committee (CMC) [ Time Frame: Step 2 week 1 to week 52 ]
  2. Number of N-803 doses completed [ Time Frame: From step 2 week 1 to step 2 week 22 ]
    Eight doses of N-803 are scheduled at the distinct time points listed in Time Frame. At each timepoint, dose completion status is recorded. Number of N-803 doses completed is the total number completed doses across all 8 timepoints.

  3. Proportion of participants requiring dose reduction [ Time Frame: From step 2 week 4 to step 2 week 22 ]
    Eight doses of N-803 are scheduled at distinct time points (Step 2 weeks 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 and 22). Proportion of participants requiring dose reduction is calculated as the number of participants who receive a reduced dose of N-803 at any of the 7 scheduled doses occurring after the first dose, divided by the total number of participants receiving N-803.

  4. Proportion of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA <200 copies/mL 8 weeks after interruption of ART [ Time Frame: At step 3 week 8 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Occurrence of a Grade ≥2 AE without regard to relationship to study treatment [ Time Frame: Study entry to participant's last study visit, at approx. study week 100 ]
  2. Occurrence of a Grade ≥2 AE that is at least possibly related to N-803, as judged by the CMC [ Time Frame: Step 2 week 1 to week 52 ]
  3. Occurrence of a Grade ≥2 AE that is at least possibly related to VRC07-523LS or 10-1074 [ Time Frame: Step 2 week 0 to week 52 ]
  4. Cell-associated HIV-1 RNA [ Time Frame: At Step 2 weeks 0, 1, 7, 13, 19, 22, 26 and 32 ]

  8. Total HIV-1 DNA [ Time Frame: At Step 2 weeks 0, 1, 7, 13, 19, 22, 26 and 32 ]
  9. Proportion of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA <200 copies/mL at 4, 12 and 24 weeks after interruption of ART in Step 3 [ Time Frame: At step 3 weeks 4, 12, and 24 ]
  10. PK parameters: AUC0-τ of 10-1074 [ Time Frame: At step 2 weeks 0, 1, 4, 7, 9, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 26, 32 and 46 ]
