PAVE 100 is a planned test-of-concept efficacy trial of an AIDS vaccine developed by the Vaccine Research Center (VRC) at the US National Institutes of Health. The original version of PAVE 100 was scheduled to take place in eastern and southern Africa and in the Americas. Screening for enrollment in the Americas was scheduled to start in September 2007. This was put on hold after the release of disappointing data from the STEP vaccine study of Merck’s MRK-AD5 vaccine.
(For more information on STEP visit www.avac.org/step.htm.)
There has been significant debate and discussion about how to redesign the PAVE 100 protocol in light of the STEP data. The documents AVAC has developed (linked below) are designed to help advocates, community groups and other stakeholders understand some of the key questions that have been raised in discussions about PAVE 100.
