Abstract
Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Group protocol 326 is a study of 2 formulations of recombinant canarypox ALVAC vaccine (vCP205) against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). HIV-1-exposed infants were randomized to receive 1 of 2 formulations of vCP205 or placebo at birth and 4, 8, and 12 weeks. The vaccines were safe. Lymphoproliferative responses were detected at > or =2 time points in 44%-56% of vaccinees and none of the placebo recipients. A cytotoxic T lymphocyte response on at least 1 occasion was detected in 62.5% of infants in cohort 1 (10(6.08) median tissue culture dose [TCID(50)] vaccine formulation) and 44% of infants in cohort 2 (10(6.33) TCID(50) vaccine formulation). Rare mucosal immunoglobulin A responses and no measurable vaccine-elicited serum antibodies were detected. In children, vCP205 appeared to be safe and immunogenic.
