Brief Summary

To compare the safety of ALVAC-HIV vCP205 to that of ALVAC-RG vCP65 rabies glycoprotein, delivered by a variety of mucosal routes. To evaluate the antibody, humoral, and cellular immune responses resulting from ALVAC-HIV vCP205. \[AS PER AMENDMENT 8/3/98: To obtain safety data on AIDSVAX B/B boosting administered by the intramuscular and intranasal routes in the context of previous immunization via alternate mucosal routes or intramuscularly with a canarypox vector expressing HIV-1 antigens (vCP205). To obtain immunogenicity data on AIDSVAX B/B boosting.\] One of the earliest observations in the HIV epidemic was the demonstration of HIV infection at mucosal surfaces of cells in the genital tract. These data suggest that priming of immune defenses of viral infected cells may be an important component in the strategy of developing an effective HIV vaccine. Direct immunization of relevant mucosal surfaces with a vectored vaccine may stimulate mucosal immunity. The ALVAC-HIV vCP205 immunogen is constructed from a live recombinant canarypox vector that has a good safety profile in volunteers and should allow mucosal induction of immunity.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 50 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Volunteers must have:
  • Negative ELISA for HIV within 8 weeks of immunization.
  • No envelope bands in Western blot for HIV-1 within 8 weeks of immunization.
  • Normal history and physical examination.

You may not qualify if:

  • Co-existing Condition:
  • Volunteers with the following conditions are excluded:
  • Medical or psychiatric condition or occupational responsibilities that preclude compliance with the protocol, including recent suicidal attempt or ideation or present psychosis.
  • Active syphilis (if the serology is documented to be a false positive or due to a remote \[more than 6 months\] treated infection, the volunteer is eligible).
  • Active tuberculosis (volunteers with a positive PPD and a normal chest x-ray showing no evidence of TB and not requiring INH therapy are eligible).
  • Allergy to egg products or neomycin (used to prepare ALVAC vaccines).
  • Occupational or household exposure to birds (no known pathogenicity of avipox for birds).
  • Episode of severe diarrhea within 1 week prior to immunization.
  • Abnormal pelvic exam with evidence of sexually transmitted disease or other genital tract infection or trauma, including vaginitis, cervicitis, ecchymosis, vulvar or cervicovaginal lesions or abrasions, or chronic cervical and/or abnormal PAP smear changes.
  • Recent history of rectal bleeding or repeatedly positive hemocult test (within 1 month).
  • Positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen.
  • Volunteers with the following prior conditions are excluded:
  • History of immunodeficiency, chronic illness (in particular, chronic inflammatory disease or gastroenteritis), malignancy, or autoimmune disease.
  • History of cancer unless there has been surgical excision followed by a sufficient observation period to give a reasonable assurance of cure.
  • History of anaphylaxis or history of other serious adverse reactions to vaccines.
  • +13 more criteria
