Key Points
- In phase 1 trials, AGT 103-T showed no serious adverse events and indicated potential efficacy through blood markers, demonstrating safety and a positive response in HIV patients who remained on antiretrovirals.
- The anti-retroviral withdrawal study with AGT 103-T revealed that treated patients maintained stable CD4 counts and had an increase in CD8 cells, suggesting an effective immune response against HIV when antiretrovirals were stopped.
- American Gene Technologies (AGT) is working towards a public listing with the support of 10x Capital and is part of a broader gene and cell therapy revolution that aims to transition from treating to curing diseases, with around 30 approved therapies already in the market.
