EHVA

European HIV Vaccine Alliance (EHVA): a EU platform for the discovery and evaluation of novelprophylactic and therapeutic vaccine candidates

Objective

The generation of novel vaccine candidates in the field of prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines inducing potent neutralizing and non-neutralizing antibody responses and T-cell responses (for therapeutic vaccines).


Description

Many HIV vaccine concepts and several efficacy trials have been conducted in the prophylactic and therapeutic fields with limited success. There is an urgent need to develop better vaccines and tools predictive of immunogenicity and of correlates of protection at an early stage of vaccine development to mitigate the risks of failure. To address these complex and challenging scientific issues, the European HIV Vaccine Alliance (EHVA) program will develop a Multidisciplinary Vaccine Platform (MVP) in the fields of prophylactic and therapeutic HIV vaccines.
