Primary objective : safety & tolerability
Twenty five virologically controlled HIV-1 pts (23 men) under ART with CD4 counts >200 c/mm3were randomized. Median (Min-Max) age was 47 years (32-54), CD4 710 c/mm3 (311-1187), CD4 nadir 336 c/mm3 (127-739), ART initiated median 3.0 yrs (1.1-7.1), none had detectable HIV RNA at inclusion.
 
Prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind dose-escalation study designed to assess safety and immunogenicity of 0.1, 1, 10 μg of 3S antigen present in VAC-3S with 3 IM immunizations at Day0, W4, W8, and a fourth immunization at W32 for the 1 and 10 μg arms [Figure 2].
 
- Primary objective : safety & tolerability
- Secondary objectives : immunogenicity, plasma anti-3S Ab titers, NKp44L
