Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This is a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, dose escalation, first-in-human (FIH) trial to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of CH505M5 N197D mRNA-gp160 and CH505 TF mRNA-gp160. Both products are mRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) (subsequently referred to as mRNA-LNPs). The primary hypotheses are: 1. the CH505M5 N197D mRNA-gp160 will expand CH235-like B cell precursors, 2. the CH505 TF mRNA-gp160 will boost CH235-like bnAb B cell precursors to acquire more functional mutations needed for broadly neutralizing antibody (bnAb) development, and 3. these mRNA-LNPs will be safe and well tolerated among individuals living without HIV.

Type 2 DM controlled with diet alone (and confirmed by HgbA1c ≤ 8% within the last 6 months) or a history of isolated gestational diabetes are not exclusionary. Enrollment of individuals with Type 2 DM that is well controlled on hypoglycemic agent(s) may be considered by the PSRT on a case-by-case basis, provided that the HgbA1c is ≤ 8% within the last 6 months (sites may draw these at screening). 4. Previous or current recipient of an investigational HIV vaccine or HIV mAb (previous placebo/control recipients are not excluded). 5.

If a potential participant has received investigational agents with a half-life of more than 7 days (or unknown half-life) within the past year, PSRT approval is required for enrollment. 13. History of serious reaction (eg, hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis) to any mRNA vaccine, including Comirnaty® (Pfizer) and Spikevax® (Moderna), or to any drug administered systemically as a polyethylene glycol containing LNP, including doxorubicin (Doxil, Caelyx, ThermoDox), cisplatin (Lipoplatin) and irinotecan (Onivyde). 14.
