New AIDS vaccine faces tests
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Researchers will lest experi
mental vaccines on children
infected with HIV, the deadly
vims that causes AIDS, the
National Institute of Health
said Monday
Ninety children ages one month to 12 years will
receive three vaccines, officials said The tests will
be <onducted at hospitals in at least 12 different
loc-ations nationwide
"This is the first time we have tried HIV vac
cines on children." said Nil! spokeswoman Laurie
K Doepel.
The study is "a hopeful milestone in our efforts
to ameliorate the tragedy of HIV-infected children
who now face the certainty they will develop
AIDS,” said Health Secretary Donna E. Shnlala in
a statement.
Researchers will use the tests to determine if the
vaccines slow the progress of the disease by trig
gering immunological responses to the HIV virus
in children who are not yet sick
Researchers will then conduct further tests if the
vaccines prove to be safe, said Anthony Fauci,
head of Nil Is Office of AIDS Research.
Some 10,000 children in this country are infect
ed with the HIV vims, bom mostly to women who
txxame infected by intravenous drug use or sexu
al contact, according to government estimates.
At least half the participants will !*> children 2
years old or younger, to enable researchers to com
pare their reactions to the vaccine with those of
older patients, officials said
The symptoms of AIDS show up more quickly in
children infected with the HIV virus than in
adults Alxmt half the infants born with the IfIV
virus develop a serious AIDS-related infection
between the ages of 3 and fi
Tliis is the first time we have
tried HIV vaccines on
children
Laurie K. Doepel,
National Institute of Health
Atmut 10 vaccines have been tested on adults.
Preliminary results of these trials show that
some of the vaccines increased the body's
immunological response to HIV. Them have been
suggestions, for instance, that some vaccines might
stabilize the loss of CD-4 white-blood cells, scien
tists said.
The University of Rochester Medical School has
received formal approval to Iiegin the tests, and tri
als of the three experimental HIV vac nines will
eventually he conducted at other sites, said Dr.
fames McNamara, a medical officer at the Nation
al Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases.
Each child will receive one shot every four
weeks for six months and will be checked for 24
weeks after the Inst immunization for signs of
physical reactions, such as fevers or swelling.
McNamara said researchers also will try to
determine if low or high doses of the vaccines
c ause any immune reactions.
The tests were informally announced last month
at a meeting of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science in Boston.
The genetically engineered vaccines to be tested
am made with parts of the HIV virus The vaccines
am made by MicroGeneSys Inc. of Meriden, Conn.;
Genontech Inc:, of South San Francisco, Clalif.; and
Biocine, a joint venture of Chiron and CIBA-Geigy
based in Emeryville, Calif.
