An Open Label, Phase 2 Study of the Safety and Antiretroviral Activity of 3BNC117 in HIV-Infected Individuals on Combination Antiretroviral Therapy

This study evaluates the effects of four infusions of 3BNC117 in preventing or delaying
rebound of viral load during a brief treatment interruption of standard ART, and its safety
during a brief analytical interruption of antiretroviral therapy.

The proposed study is a Phase II, open label study to evaluate the safety, antiretroviral
activity and pharmacokinetics of four infusions of 3BNC117 in HIV-infected individuals on
combination ART and during a brief analytical treatment interruption (ATI).

Study participants will be administered four intravenous infusions of 3BNC117, administered
at 30 mg/kg on day 0, week 12, week 24 and week 27. Antiretroviral therapy will be
discontinued 2 days after the third 3BNC117 infusion (week 24), until week 36.

The ART regimen will be resumed at week 36 or sooner if plasma HIV-1 RNA level is ≥ 200
copies/ml, CD4+ T cell count drops < 350 cells/microliter, and results are confirmed upon
repeat measurement during the next weekly scheduled visit. If plasma HIV-1 RNA level is ≥
1,000 copies/ml, the participant will be asked to return for a repeat measurement prior to
the next scheduled visit, and ART will be resumed if results are confirmed. ART will also be
resumed early if the participant becomes pregnant or if otherwise clinically indicated. If
ART is resumed before week 27, the fourth 3BNC117 infusion will not be administered.

Participants will be followed weekly during the analytical treatment interruption phase for
safety assessments and for monitoring plasma HIV-1 RNA levels. CD4+ T cell counts will be
monitored every 2 weeks during the analytical treatment interruption phase.

Participants may remain off antiretroviral therapy after week 36, with weekly viral load
monitoring, if viral rebound does not occur by week 36.

All participants will be followed for a total of 60 weeks from enrollment.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Informed consent obtained and signed.

- Males and females, age 18 to 65.

- HIV-1 infection confirmed by two independent methods.

- Plasma HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/ml for at least 12 months while on combination ART and <
20 copies/ml at the screening visit. [Note: One or two viral blips of < 200 copies/mL
prior to enrollment are permitted if preceded and followed by test results showing VL
less than or equal to 50 copies/ml on the same ARV regimen.]

- CD4 cell count > 500 cells/microliter. CD4 cell count nadir > 200 cells/microliter.

- If sexually active male or female, and participating in sexual activity that could
lead to pregnancy, agrees to use an effective method of contraception throughout the
study period. Participants should also agree to use a male or female condom while off
ART.

- Female study participants of reproductive potential are defined as pre-menopausal
women who have not had a sterilization procedure (e.g. hysterectomy, bilateral
oophorectomy, tubal ligation or salpingectomy). Women are considered menopausal if
they have not had a menses for at least 12 months and have a FSH of greater than 40
IU/L or if FSH testing is not available, they have had amenorrhea for 24 consecutive
months.

- Acceptable forms of contraception must include one of the following: condoms (male or
female) with or without a spermicidal agent, diaphragm or cervical cap with
spermicide, IUD, or hormone-based contraceptive.

- If on an NNRTI-based regimen willing to a switch for 4 weeks to a dolutegravir-based
regimen.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Have a history of AIDS-defining illness within 1 year prior to enrollment.

- Have a history of resistance to two or more antiretroviral drug classes.

- History of systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressive anti-cancer, or other
medications considered significant by the trial physician within the last 6 months.

- Chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C.

- Participant report, or chart history, of significant coronary artery disease,
myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention with placement of cardiac
stents.

- Participant report, or chart history, of diabetes type 1 or 2 and/or current use of
insulin or oral hypoglycemic medications.

- Uncontrolled hypertension, as defined by a systolic blood pressure > 180 and/or
diastolic blood pressure > 120, in the presence or absence of anti-hypertensive
medications.

- Total cholesterol level > 240 mg/dl or LDL level > 190 mg/dl at screen.

- Known family history of myocardial infarction or stroke in a first-degree relative
aged < 60 years.

- Any other clinically significant acute or chronic medical condition, such as
autoimmune diseases, that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude
participation.

- Current cigarette use in excess of 1 pack per day;

- Laboratory abnormalities in the parameters listed below:

- Absolute neutrophil count less than or equal to 1,000 cells/microliter

- Hemoglobin less than or equal to 10 g/dL

- Platelet count less than or equal to 125,000 cells/microliter

- ALT greater than or equal to 2.0 x ULN

- AST greater than or equal to 2.0 x ULN

- Total bilirubin greater than or equal to 1.5 ULN

- Creatinine greater than or equal to 1.1 x ULN

- Coagulation parameters greater than or equal to 1.5 x ULN.

- Current antiretroviral regimen includes maraviroc or enfuvirtide.

- Pregnancy or lactation.

- Any vaccination within 14 days prior to 3BNC117 administration.

- Receipt of monoclonal antibody therapy of any kind in the past.

- History of severe reaction to drug infusions or history of severe allergic reactions.

- Participation in another clinical study of an investigational product currently or
within past 12 weeks, or expected participation during this study.
