Verified by GlobeImmune July 2005
Sponsored by: GlobeImmune
Information provided by: GlobeImmune
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00124215
Purpose:
The GI-5005 therapeutic vaccine or placebo will be injected under the skin of hepatitis C virus (HCV) subjects. Patients will be monitored for safety, immune responses and any therapeutic benefits related to the injections.

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Control, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: A Phase 1 Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Dose-Escalation, Multi-Center Therapeutic Trial of the Safety, Immunogenicity, and Efficacy of GI-5005; an Inactivated Recombinant Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Expressing a Hepatitis C Virus NS3-Core Fusion Protein, in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C Infection
Further study details as provided by GlobeImmune: GI-5005 targets two HCV antigens which are highly conserved, abundant and essential for virus replication. GI-5005 has demonstrated robust activity in preclinical models of HCV. Because the body’s response to Tarmogens resembles successful natural immunity to the hepatitis C virus, the Company believes that the GI-5005 Tarmogen may represent a successful approach to treating this difficult disease. The Company initiated a Phase 1b trial at five US centers for GI-5005 in July 2005.
