Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this Phase IIa study is to determine whether the antibody (UB-421), targeting the HIV-1 receptor on the CD4 molecule of T-lymphocytes and monocytes, is safe and effective when multiple doses are administered by intravenous infusion to asymptomatic HIV-1 infected adults and to assess pharmacokinetic parameters of the antibody in blood and on cells. The neutralizing activity of UB-421 blocks HIV-1 from binding to its receptor on CD4-positive cells; thus, UB-421 functions as an immunotherapeutic intervention to prevent HIV-1 infection.
