Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To evaluate the safety, tolerance, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity of human anti-HIV immune serum globulin ( HIVIG ) at three dosage levels in HIV-infected children.

Passive antibody therapy has been used with limited success in treating advanced HIV disease in adults. HIVIG is manufactured from HIV antibody-rich plasma taken from asymptomatic donors. It is hypothesized that HIVIG will decrease the viral burden of moderately advanced HIV-positive children.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Passive antibody therapy has been used with limited success in treating advanced HIV disease in adults. HIVIG is manufactured from HIV antibody-rich plasma taken from asymptomatic donors. It is hypothesized that HIVIG will decrease the viral burden of moderately advanced HIV-positive children.

Children are randomized to receive HIVIG every 4 weeks for 6 months at one of three dose levels, then are followed for 3 months after the final infusion.
