HIV Program Milestones
August 2020
FDA approves AGT’s Investigational New Drug (IND) application, greenlighting Phase 1 clinical trials for AGT103-T. The Phase 1 will be conducted in selected trial sites in the Baltimore/D.C. metropolitan area.
November 2020
The first trial participant was enrolled in the study and underwent leukapheresis, a procedure for obtaining concentrated white blood cells. Those cells will be used to manufacture the AGT103-T cell product.
In the New Year
AGT103-T to be Infused
Manufacturing AGT103-T from the participant's blood takes 11 days, and from there, FDA-mandated safety testing begins. Should the blood product meet the release criteria as expected, the trial participant is due to be infused early in 2021.
