The purpose of this study is to test the safety of an investigational medication, TXA127, and its ability to increase T-lymphocyte counts, specifically CD4+ T-lymphocytes, in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus who are taking highly active anti-retroviral therapy.

This is a Phase I, single institution, open-label, within-dosing-cohort-schedule randomized, dose escalation study of TXA127 in HIV-infected subjects with CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts less than 200 per mm3 who have responded to highly active retroviral therapy (HAART). The study has been designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TXA127 in this subject population. This study will also obtain safety and biologic activity information about the subcutaneous injection of TXA127.
Four escalating dosing cohorts will be examined to determine the MTD. The four dosing cohorts will receive 50, 100, 200 and 300 mcg/kg of TXA127 by subcutaneous injection daily for 14 days then 14 days without treatment. The 28 days will be defined as one cycle. The cycle of therapy will be repeated once, for a total of two courses of treatment. Between 2 and 6 subjects will be enrolled in a dose cohort depending on the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT)among the within-cohort subject population. Dose escalation to the next cohort of subjects will be permitted according to following criteria.
A standard Simon Phase I dose escalation trial has been proposed. The MTD will have been exceeded if the proportion of subjects that develops the same or similar study-drug-related, dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in an assigned dosing schedule equals 2/2, 2/3, 2/4, 2/5, and 2/6 subjects. The MTD is defined as the largest dose that <2 of 6 subjects experiences a DLT. Dose-limiting toxicity is defined as a study-drug-related grade 3 or 4 adverse event (AE).
