Some highlights from the data include, a higher incidence of some side effects against placebo. These include headache, pyrexia (elevated body temperature), rash and rhinorrhoea (runny nose).

Additional quotes from the data include:

‘The BIT225 cohort had a significantly greater reduction of macrophage activation marker sCD163, a good indicator of all cause morbidity and mortality in HIV-2 patients. Additional reduction of this marker in patients taking BIT225 demonstrates significant immunological benefit.’

And:

‘The stimulation of the immune system in the BIT225 cohort makes this treatment approach a unique and potentially clinical beneficial step towards HIV-1 eradication.’

Statistically significant results

As for the data itself, there were a number of statistically significant decreases for biomarker sCD163, statistically significant CD8* response, and statistically significant sustained delay in decline of CD4*.

To conclude, it is worth stressing that this is a Phase 2 trial, and the researchers are still trying to understand their own medicine.

Investors will be hoping ongoing investigations prove positive.
