Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Therapy Services
The objective of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) program is to use HOOKIPA’s technologies to design arenavirus vectors (Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus or Pichinde Virus based) suitable for treatment, cure or prevention of HIV. Together with our partner Gilead Sciences we intend to develop functional therapies for patients already infected with HIV.
During 2019, HOOKIPA received $6.0 million in milestone payments from Gilead for the delivery of research vectors and advancing the programs closer to clinical trials. Based on preclinical data generated to date, Gilead committed to preparations to advance the HBV and HIV vectors toward development. To enable the development activities and expanded research programs, Gilead agreed to reserve manufacturing capacity and increase reimbursement budgeted for our expanded resources allocated to the Gilead collaboration.
