HIV Program Update
Five for Five!
American Gene Technologies (AGT) announced that it has reached another important milestone in its HIV cure program. Five participants were treated with AGT103-T and are stably engrafted with genetically modified cells.
Laboratory studies confirmed substantial increases in virus-specific T cells consistent with improved immunity against HIV in all participants. The early data addresses key trial endpoints and is aligned with the objective of restoring natural immunity against HIV.
“These latest laboratory studies of clinical material are extremely encouraging,” said AGT CEO Jeff Galvin. “To see these markers in all five trial participants indicates that prospects are bright for a potential one-and-done therapy to functionally cure HIV. This milestone brings us another step closer to our goal of returning people living with HIV to a normal life without the side effects of ART and having no further consequences of HIV.” Read more...
