American Gene Technologies® has recorded data that meets the primary and secondary endpoints of its AGT103-T Phase 1 trial. The Phase 1 trial demonstrated that AGT103-T — an autologous T cell product that has been modified with the AGT103 lentiviral vector for HIV resistance — was well-tolerated in humans and that these enhanced T cells persist in the body, ready to respond to HIV. Data from this first-in-human study of AGT103-T has been published in Frontiers.
Having collected data from the Phase 1 clinical trial, we expect to submit the final Phase 1 trial report to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2023. American Gene is currently writing the Phase 2 protocol for FDA consideration to continue the clinical development of this potential HIV cure.
Listen Now: Jeff Galvin Talks About the Future of Gene Therapy on "The Biotech Project Podcast"
The Biotech Project podcast welcomes CEO and Founder of American Gene Technologies, Jeff Galvin, onto the show to discuss the past, present, and future of the company’s mission to use the power of gene therapy to relieve human suffering from serious diseases. Hosts Scott J Resnik, MBA, NYS EMT-CC, and John Walsh, MD, sit down with Jeff to discuss how he built a company that’s revolutionizing the traditional approach to treating diseases by daring to aim for cures.
“We're modifying DNA, which could be looked at as the operating system of the human cell, and now that we can correct errors in that operating system or we can improve that operating system, the question is: What can't we do?”
