MGD014 in HIV-Infected Individuals on Suppressive Antiretroviral Therapy

Eligible participants will be maintained on ART and receive either one infusion (Part 1) or multiple infusions of MGD014 (Part 2). Part 1 is a single ascending dose study with a 1+3 design for the first 2 dose cohorts, and a 3+3 design with staggered accrual for the 6 higher dose cohorts, with an aim of determining the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ascending doses up to either the Optimal Biologic Dose (OBD) or the maximum administered dose (MAD).

Part 2 is a multi-dose expansion cohort with MGD014 administered at the OBD, as determined in Part 1. In Part 2, additional assessments on the effects of MGD014 on HIV latent infection parameters will be evaluated.
