Purpose

A5422 is a phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a vaccination with stabilized CH505 TF chTrimer admixed with 3M-052-AF + Aluminum hydroxide (Alum), to assess the effect of CH505 TF chTrimer vaccine as a therapeutic vaccine in adults living with HIV-1 on suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) with the aim of inducing new HIV-1 Envelope (Env) B-cell neutralizing immune responses. Participants will be on study for up to 100 weeks (52 weeks on study treatment plus 48 weeks follow-up).
