Summary of the outcome measures of efficacy assessed in therapeutic HIV vaccine clinical trials with analytical treatment interruptions: inactivated HIV vaccines

Vaccine Study design Primary outcome measure(s) Other relevant efficacy outcome measures Main findings References
Remune® (inactivated HIV-1 particles) Open label, non-randomized, two-arm study (immunized vs. unimmunized)
  • Immunogenicity

  • pVL

  • CD4 T cell count

Immunization-induced HIV-specific immune responses that correlated with CD4 T cell counts and with viral control during ATI. [142]
Remune®+ART intensification with ddI, hydroxyurea and GM-CSF Proof-of-concept, single-arm study
  • Immunogenicity

  • Viral load decrease: the difference between the viral load plateaus of the first two ATIs

  • CD4 T cell count

  • Percentage of CD4 T cells

Following ART intensification+Remune®, HIV-specific IFN-γ secretion increased between the first two of three ATIs, while viral load decreased significantly, although there was no correlation between these two observations. [143]
