Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity of combinations of monoclonal antibodies PGT121, PGDM1400, 10-1074, and VRC07-523LS administered via intravenous infusion in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity of combinations of monoclonal antibodies PGT121, PGDM1400, 10-1074, and VRC07-523LS administered via intravenous infusion in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults. Participants will initially be enrolled into one of three groups. At Day 0, Groups 1, 2, and 3 will receive dual combinations of mAbs administered sequentially via IV. Group 1 will receive a combination of PGT121 and VRC07-523LS, Group 2 will receive PGDM1400 and VRC07-523LS, and Group 3 will receive 10-1074 and VRC07-523LS. Study staff will review study data from Groups 1, 2, and 3 and determine if Group 4 may begin to enroll. Participants in Group 4 will receive PGDM1400, PGT121, and VRC07-523LS administered in sequence via IV on Day 0 and at Month 4. Study duration will be 12 months for participants in Groups 1, 2, and 3, and 16 months for participants in Group 4. Participants will attend several study visits, which may include physical examinations, blood and urine collection, HIV testing and pretest counseling, risk reduction counseling, and questionnaires.

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Serum Concentration Levels of PGT121, PGDM1400, and VRC07-523LS Among Participants Who Received All Scheduled Product Administrations | Serum PGDM1400, PGT121, and VRC07-523LS IgG levels were measured on a Bio-Plex instrument (Bio-Rad) using a validated assay designed to simultaneously measure infused PGDM1400, PGT121, and VRC07-523LS by its ability to bind anti-idiotype antibody captured on fluorescent magnetic beads. This assay was derived from a standardized custom HIV-1 Luminex assay. PGDM1400, PGT121 and VRC07-523LS were titrated and combined to create a standard curve that was used to determine concentration of the diluted samples. The negative controls were CH58 (an irrelevant mAb) and blank beads.Serum 10-1074 level was measured by anti-idotypic ELISA. Participant serum sample was incubated in anti-ID coated micro-plate well. A conjugated secondary antibody was used to detect bound 10-1074. Samples were titrated to ensure positive optical density (O.D.) readouts fall within the linear range of the assay for monoclonal antibody concentration calculations. | Measured during Screening, Days 0, 3, 6, 14, 28, 56, 84*, 112, 140*, 168, 224, 280, 336, 392*, and 448* Days with * are only available for T4 | 
| Magnitudes of TZM-bl Cells Responses Against mAb-specific Env-pseudotyped Viruses Among Participants Who Received All Scheduled Product Administrations | Neutralizing antibodies against HIV-1 were measured as a function of reductions in Tat-regulated luciferase (Luc) reporter gene expression in TZM-bl cells. The assay performed in TZM-bl cells measured neutralization titers against the Env-pseudotyped viruses sensitive to the bnAbs (i.e., bnAb-specific viruses) in each infusion group. | Measured during Screening, Days 0, 3, 28, 56, 112, 140*, 168*, 224* Days with * are only available for T4 |

| Magnitudes of TZM-bl Cells Responses Against a Panel of Env Pseudotyped Viruses for All Participants | Neutralizing antibodies against HIV-1 were measured as a function of reductions in Tat-regulated luciferase (Luc) reporter gene expression in TZM-bl cells. The assay performed in TZM-bl cells measured neutralization titers against the Env-pseudotyped viruses sensitive to the bnAbs (i.e., bnAb-specific viruses) in each infusion group. | Measured during Screening, Days 0, 3, 28, 56, 112, 140*, 168*, 224* Days with * are only available for T4 | 
| Magnitude of Neutralizing Activity Against a Panel of Env Pseudotyped Reference Viruses in TZM-bl Cells for All Participants | Neutralizing antibodies against HIV-1 were measured as a function of reductions in Tat-regulated luciferase (Luc) reporter gene expression in TZM-bl cells.
