About this trial

This study is to test an experimental HIV Vaccine. About 12 participants, aged 18-55 years and who already have cytomegalovirus (CMV) will take part in this study. Participants will come to the clinic for scheduled visits about 21 times over 12 months.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

At least 18 years old at screening and up to 55 years old on day of enrollment.

Access to a participating clinical research site and willingness to be followed for the planned duration of the study.

Demonstrates an understanding of the study and is able and willing to provide informed consent.

Agrees not to enroll in another study of an investigational agent during participation in the trial.

Disqualifiers

Blood products or immunoglobulin within 16 weeks prior to enrollment; receipt of immunoglobulin within 16 weeks prior to enrollment requires approval.

Of pregnancy potential, pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Receipt of investigational research agents with a half-life of 7 or fewer days within 4 weeks prior to enrollment. If a potential participant has received investigational agents with a half-life of more than 7 days (or unknown half-life) within the past year, approval is required for enrollment.

Use of (val)acyclovir, (val)ganciclovir, letermovir, foscarnet, or another antiviral with anti-CMV activity within 30 days prior to the first vaccination. Chronic or suppressive use of (val)acyclovir is not permitted. Short-term use (defined as less than 10 days) of (val)acyclovir is permitted at standard doses provided there have been no more than 2 courses of (val)acyclovir over the last 6 months. Topical use is not exclusionary.
