Experimental: Group 1A: Ad26.Mos.HIV
Participants will receive Ad26.Mos.HIV vaccine at Week 0 and 12, followed by Ad26.Mos.HIV vaccine + Clade C glycoprotein 140 vaccine containing 250 microgram (mcg) of total protein mixed with adjuvant (aluminum phosphate) at Week 24 and 48.
|
Biological: Ad26.Mos.HIV
Recombinant replication-deficient Ad26 vectored vaccine and consists of 3 Ad26 vectors, one containing a mosaic insert of envelope (Env) sequence, and 2 vectors containing mosaic inserts of Gag and Pol sequences (Ad26.Mos.1.Env + Ad26.Mos1.Gag-Pol + Ad26.Mos2.Gag-Pol). Total dose is 5*10^10 viral particle per 0.5 milliliter (mL) injection administered intramuscularly. Biological: Clade C gp140 Clade C gp140 vaccine containing 250 mcg of total protein, mixed with aluminum phosphate adjuvant, per 0.5 mL injection administered intramuscularly. |
Placebo Comparator: Group 1B: Placebo
Participants will receive placebo at Weeks 0, 12, 24 and 48.
|
Drug: Placebo
Normal saline 0.9 percent (%), 0.5 mL injection administered intramuscularly. |
Experimental: Group 2A: Ad26.Mos4.HIV
Participants will receive Ad26.Mos4.HIV vaccine at Week 0 and 12; followed by Ad26.Mos4.HIV vaccine + Clade C glycoprotein 140 vaccine containing 250 microgram (mcg) of total protein mixed with adjuvant (aluminum phosphate) at Week 24 and 48. Participants will be included in an optional Long-term Extension (LTE) phase (3 years or 5 years Follow-up after Week 72, every 6 months visit) to assess immunogenicity and safety (serious adverse events [SAEs]).
|
Biological: Ad26.Mos4.HIV
Recombinant replication-deficient Ad26 vectored vaccine and consists of 4 Ad26 vectors, 2 containing a mosaic insert of envelope (Env) sequence, and 2 vectors containing mosaic inserts of Gag and Pol sequences (Ad26.Mos.1.Env + Ad26.Mos.2S.Env + Ad26.Mos1.Gag-Pol + Ad26.Mos2.Gag-Pol). Total dose is 5*10^10 viral particle per 0.5mL injection administered intramuscularly. Biological: Clade C gp140 Clade C gp140 vaccine containing 250 mcg of total protein, mixed with aluminum phosphate adjuvant, per 0.5 mL injection administered intramuscularly. |
Placebo Comparator: Group 2B: Placebo
Participants will receive placebo at Weeks 0, 12, 24 and 48.

Drug: Placebo
Normal saline 0.9 percent (%), 0.5 mL injection administered intramuscularly. |

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 50 Years (Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Are negative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection at screening
- Is healthy on the basis of physical examination, medical history, electrocardiogram (ECG), and vital signs measurement performed at screening
- Are willing/able to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in the protocol and study procedures
- Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test (beta human chorionic gonadotropin [beta hCG]) at the Screening visit, and a negative urine pregnancy test pre-dose on Day 1
- Are assessed by the clinic staff as being at low risk for HIV infection
Exclusion Criteria:
- Has chronic hepatitis B (measured by hepatitis B surface antigen test) or active hepatitis C (measured by hepatitis C virus [HCV] Ab test; if positive, HCV ribonucleic acid [RNA] PCR test will be used to confirm active versus past HCV infection), active syphilis infection, chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomonas . Active syphilis documented by serology unless positive serology is due to past treated infection
- Has had a thyroidectomy or active thyroid disease requiring medication during the last 12 months (not excluded: a stable thyroid supplementation)
- Has had major psychiatric illness and/or substance abuse problems during the past 12 months (including hospitalization or periods of work disability) that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation
- Has been in receipt of any licensed vaccine within 14 days prior to the first dose of study vaccine/placebo, plans to receive within 14 days after the first study vaccination, or plans to receive within 14 days before or after the second, third or fourth vaccination
- Is a recipient of a prophylactic or therapeutic HIV vaccine candidate at any time, or a recipient of other experimental vaccine(s) within the last 12 months prior to the Day 1 visit (Vaccination 1). For participants who received an experimental vaccine (except HIV vaccine) more than 12 months prior to the Day 1 visit (Vaccination 1), documentation of the identity of the experimental vaccine must be provided to the sponsor, who will determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis
