Screening Protocol for HIV Vaccine Studies
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC), January 2008
Sponsored by: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00031304
  Purpose

Healthy volunteers will be screened under this protocol for possible participation in a study testing a vaccine against HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Healthy adults 18 to 60 years of age may be eligible for this study. Participants must be in good general health with no history of significant medical problems or abnormal laboratory test results. Pregnant or breast-feeding women and people infected with HIV will not be enrolled.

Participants enrolled in this protocol will undergo the following tests and procedures within 8 weeks before the start of the experimental vaccine study:

  • Medical history, including history of sexual activity and drug use
  • Physical examination
  • Pregnancy test for women of childbearing age
  • Blood and urine tests to evaluate possible medical problems such as liver and kidney function; to evaluate immune function; and to test for HIV, hepatitis and syphilis

Individuals who are identified through this screening protocol as possible candidates for an HIV vaccine trial will be provided additional information about study options.

Estimated Enrollment: 1000
Study Start Date: February 2002
Detailed Description:

The purpose of this study is to screen subjects to determine if they are suitable candidates for Phase I HIV vaccine trials. All work will be conducted at the National Institutes of Health.

Healthy, HIV-negative subjects will be recruited and screened. The results of this study will be used to determine if the subject meets all of the eligibility requirements for participation in Phase I HIV trials of preventative vaccines. Educational materials on vaccines will be reviewed with and provided to subjects before enrollment into the study.
