Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the breadth and potency of HIV-1 neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses and examine the safety and tolerability of an HIV gp120 protein vaccine (AIDSVAX® B/E) in HIV-uninfected adults diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) who have stable disease.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

  7. Number of Participants With SLE Disease Activity and Functional Status Scores, by Score and Study Day [Measured at all study visits completed in person through Month 12. Per protocol, the assessments were administered at Screening, Day 0 (date of first vaccination), Day 7, Day 14, Day 35, Day 42, Day 84, Day 168, Day 175, Day 182, Day 238, and Day 364.]

    As assessed by Safety of Estrogens in Lupus Erythematosus National Assessment-SLE Disease Activity Index (SELENA-SLEDAI) and Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data (RAPID3). The SELENA-SLEDAI is used to assess disease activity across nine organ systems within 10 days prior up to and including the day of study visit. The SELENA-SLEDAI is reported as a a weighted composite score with a range from 0 (no evidence of disease; best outcome) to 105 (extremely severe disease).
