To prescreen or not to prescreen for broadly neutralizing antibody sensitivity in HIV cure-related trials.
Journal of Virus Eradication 2023 September
The use of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) as a cure-related research strategy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has gained attention from the scientific community. bNAbs are specialized antibodies that target HIV-1 by binding to proteins on the surface of the virus, preventing the infection of human cells. In HIV-1 clinical studies assessing the use of bNAbs, it has been common practice to prescreen potential participants for bNAb sensitivity. However, the use of pre-screening in HIV-1 bNAb clinical trials is a topic of ongoing debate, with regard to its potential benefits and limitations. In this paper, we examine the possible benefits and limitations of pre-screening for bNAb sensitivity in HIV-1 cure-related studies, and suggest alternative methods which may be more effective or efficient at saving costs and time. Ultimately, the decision to use pre-screening in HIV-1 bNAb clinical trials should be based on a careful assessment of the potential benefits and limitations of this approach, as well as the specific needs, goals, design, and population of the study in question.
