Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Occurrence of a Grade ≥3 adverse event (AE) that is at least possibly related to N-803, as judged by the Clinical Management Committee (CMC)
Number of N-803 doses completed
Eight doses of N-803 are scheduled at the distinct time points listed in Time Frame. At each timepoint, dose completion status is recorded. Number of N-803 doses completed is the total number completed doses across all 8 timepoints.
Proportion of participants requiring dose reduction
Eight doses of N-803 are scheduled at distinct time points (Step 2 weeks 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 and 22). Proportion of participants requiring dose reduction is calculated as the number of participants who receive a reduced dose of N-803 at any of the 7 scheduled doses occurring after the first dose, divided by the total number of participants receiving N-803.
Proportion of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA <200 copies/mL 8 weeks after interruption of ART
Secondary Outcome Measures
Occurrence of a Grade ≥2 AE without regard to relationship to study treatment
Occurrence of a Grade ≥2 AE that is at least possibly related to N-803, as judged by the CMC
Occurrence of a Grade ≥2 AE that is at least possibly related to VRC07-523LS or 10-1074
Cell-associated HIV-1 RNA
Measurement of HIV-1 reservoir (dQVOA)
Measurement of plasma viremia by HIV-1 single copy assay
Measurement of intact proviral DNA

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of N-803, an IL-15 superagonist, with or without combination broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), to induce HIV-1 control during analytic treatment interruption (ATI).
Detailed Description
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of N-803, an IL-15 superagonist, with or without combination broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), to induce HIV-1 control during analytic treatment interruption (ATI).
Participants will be screened for eligibility and undergo leukapheresis, and a subset will also undergo optional rectal biopsy and/or lymph node fine needle aspirations (FNAs) (Step 1).
After pre-entry and determination of eligibility in Step 1, participants will be randomized before Step 2 entry to either the N-803 only arm (Arm A) or the N-803 with combination bNAbs arm (Arm B):
Arm A will receive a dose of N-803, 6 mcg/kg, subcutaneously 1 week after Step 2 entry and then every 3 weeks for a total of eight doses (during the first 22 weeks).
Arm B will receive the following (during the first 22 weeks):
Combination bNAb at Step 2 entry with VRC07-523LS dosed at 20 mg/kg and 10-1074 dosed at 30 mg/kg, intravenously;
A dose of N-803, 6 mcg/kg, subcutaneously 1 week after Step 2 entry and then every 3 weeks for a total of eight doses;
A second dose of 10-1074 at week 9 of Step 2 dosed at 30 mg/kg, intravenously
After completing randomized treatment (Step 2), participants will interrupt antiretroviral therapy (ART) (Step 3) and will be followed closely to monitor for indications for reinitiation of ART (Step 4).
After Step 2 entry, most participants will be followed for approximately 100 weeks across the remaining three study steps (i.e., Steps 2, 3, and 4).
Step 1 will last up to 90 days, Step 2 will last approximately 52 weeks (study intervention), Step 3 will last up to 24 weeks (ATI), and Step 4 will last 24 weeks (ART restart).
