Study start date: August 1, 2003Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

EnvPro is a recombinant, purified envelope protein vaccine with an aluminum hydroxide (alum) adjuvant. Aluminum hydroxide is licensed as an adjuvant in other vaccines, such as the hepatitis B vaccine. This study will examine the safety and tolerability of EnvPro with alum adjuvant in healthy, HIV uninfected adults. All participants in this study will receive vaccine injections in the upper arm muscle. Participants will receive a second vaccine injection eight weeks after the first injection. Blood tests will be performed at study visits before the vaccine is given, during the eight weeks between injections, and at selected times for up to three years after the vaccine is given.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details
10 patients to be enrolledTotal number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.
Prevention Study
Prevention studies aim to stop a disease from developing. They often involve people at risk and test things like vaccines, lifestyle changes, or preventive medications.

How participants are assigned to different groups/arms
In this clinical study, participants are assigned to groups based on specific criteria, such as their medical history or a doctor's recommendation. This approach ensures that treatments are given to those who may benefit the most, based on known factors.

Other Ways to Assign Participants
Randomized allocation
: Participants are assigned randomly, like flipping a coin, to ensure fairness and reduce bias.

None (Single-arm trial)
: If the study has only one group, all participants receive the same treatment, and no allocation is needed.

How treatments are given to participants
In this study, all participants receive the same treatment. This approach is often used to evaluate the effects of a single intervention without comparing it to another.

Other Ways to Assign Treatments
Parallel assignment
: Participants are split into separate groups, each receiving a different treatment.

Cross-over assignment
: Participants switch between treatments during the study.

Factorial assignment
: Participants receive different combinations of treatments.

Sequential assignment
: Participants receive treatments one after another in a specific order, possibly based on individual responses.

Other assignment
: Treatment assignment does not follow a standard or predefined design.

How the interventions assigned to participants is kept confidential
Everyone involved in the study knows which treatment is being given. This is typically used when it's not possible or necessary to hide the treatment details from participants or researchers.

Other Ways to Mask Information
Single-blind
: Participants do not know which treatment they are receiving, but researchers do.

Double-blind
: Neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given.

Triple-blind
: Participants, researchers, and outcome assessors do not know which treatment is given.

Quadruple-blind
: Participants, researchers, outcome assessors, and care providers all do not know which treatment is given.
