About this trial
The purpose of this study is to advance pediatric HIV treatment and cure research by evaluating the impact of a combination of three anti-HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) or analytic treatment interruption (ATI) on viral reservoir, immune function, and maintenance of HIV suppression in early-treated children.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
To describe the safety and pharmacokinetics of bNAb immunotherapy with VRC07-523LS, PGDM1400LS and PGT121.414.LS when added to existing effective ART in early-treated children living with HIV-1 in Botswana
Occurrence of Grade 3 or higher adverse events Occurrence of Grade 1 or higher bNAb-related adverse events Occurrence of any SAE Permanent discontinuation of study product Pre-dose trough concentrations of VRC07-523LS, PGDM1400LS and PGT121.414.LS at Week 16 Pre-dose trough concentrations of VRC07-523LS, PGDM1400LS and PGT121.414.LS through 32 weeks
To describe the safety of up to 24 weeks of bNAb immunotherapy with VRC07-523LS, PGDM1400LS and PGT121.414.LS when added on a rotating schedule to existing effective ART in early-treated children living with HIV-1 in Botswana
Occurrence of Grade 3 or higher adverse events Occurrence of Grade 1 or higher bNAb-related adverse events Occurrence of any SAE Permanent discontinuation of study product
To determine the safety of 24 weeks of maintenance VRC07-523LS, PGDM1400LS and PGT121.414.LS immunotherapy alone, following the discontinuation of ART
Occurrence of Grade 3 or higher adverse events Occurrence of Grade 1 or higher bNAb-related adverse events
To determine the maintenance of virologic suppression of 24 weeks of maintenance VRC07-523LS, PGDM1400LS and PGT121.414.LS immunotherapy alone, following the discontinuation of ART
Viral rebound defined as plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥400 copies/mL at or prior to 24 weeks of bNAb-only treatment.
Secondary outcomes
To measure the proportion of participants with viral rebound defined as a single plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥400 copies/mL at or prior to 48 weeks of bNAb-only treatment (for those who continue bNAb-only treatment beyond 24 weeks)
Viral rebound defined as plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥400 copies/mL at or prior to 48 weeks of bNAb-only treatment (among participants who continue beyond 24 weeks on bNAb-only treatment)
To monitor and report time to re-suppression of plasma HIV-1 RNA following re-initiation of ART, for participants who experience viral rebound on bNAbs alone or during ATI
Time to viral re-suppression defined as first HIV-1 RNA \<40 copies/mL following ART resumption
To measure the size of residual viral reservoirs, during each step of the study. Comparisons will include change during triple bNAbs + ART; change during triple bNAbs alone; change during ATI; and change during entire study
Change in total, intact, and defective provirus between entry and end of triple bNAbs + ART Change in total, intact, and defective provirus between start of bNAb-only treatment and end of bNAb-only treatment Change in total, intact, and defective provirus between start of ATI and end of ATI. Change in total, intact, and defective provirus between study entry and end of ATI.
