2002 MAY 29 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The independent committee that oversees the only final-stage clinical trials of AIDS vaccine candidates has once again indicated that the vaccine candidates appear safe and that the trials are being conducted appropriately, VaxGen, Inc., (VXGN) announced.

In its seventh review of the phase III trials of VaxGen's preventive AIDS vaccine candidates, the independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) found that the vaccine candidates continue to exhibit a strong safety profile. Since human clinical trials first began, more than 32,000 injections have been administered.

Two formulations are being tested in separate trials - AIDSVAX B/B in North America and Europe and AIDSVAX B/E in Thailand - involving a total of nearly 8000 volunteers.
