About PRTX007
PRTX007 is Primmune’s lead clinical development candidate that is designed to provide well tolerated, controlled, long-term stimulation of the innate immune response while also potentiating long-term effective innate and adaptive immune responses. PRTX007 uniquely activates plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), leading to a systemic immune poly-IFN response without stimulating production of NF-κB driven proinflammatory factors like IL-6, TNFα or IL-1β. This is functionally equivalent to administering a cocktail of all Type I/III IFN while avoiding the associated side effects and adverse events. PRTX007 is being rapidly advanced towards clinical trials for solid tumors in the advanced cancer setting and for clearing human papilloma virus-driven pre-cancerous cervical lesions.
