Summary
Before large clinical trials of anti-HIV vaccines are undertaken, it is important to determine whether there are significant advantages to any one of the vaccines currently offered for such studies. Patients are randomized to receive one of four vaccines or one of two placebo controls. The vaccines are: rgp 120/HIV-1IIIB, rgp 120/HIV-1MN, rgp 120/HIV-1SF, and env 2-3. The two control immunogens are aluminum hydroxide (alum) and BIOCINE Placebo Vaccine 2 (MF-59 adjuvant emulsion in citrate buffer). Patients are vaccinated at weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 28, and 36. If significant benefit is seen among vaccine patients, then placebo patients may receive vaccination with one of the immunogens producing an immune response.
