About The Immune Response Corporation
The Immune Response Corporation (OTCBB:IMNR) is animmuno-pharmaceutical company focused on developing products to treatautoimmune and infectious diseases. The Company's lead immune-basedtherapeutic product candidates are NeuroVax(TM) for the treatment ofMS and IR103 for the treatment of HIV infection. Both of thesetherapies are in Phase II clinical development and are designed tostimulate pathogen-specific immune responses aimed at slowing orhalting the rate of disease progression.
NeuroVax(TM), which is based on the Company's patented T-cellreceptor (TCR) peptide technology, has shown potential clinical valuein the treatment of relapsing forms of MS. NeuroVax(TM) has been shownto stimulate strong, disease-specific cell-mediated immunity in nearlyall patients treated and appears to work by enhancing levels of FOXP3+Treg cells that are able to down regulate the activity of pathogenicT-cells that cause MS. Increasing scientific findings have associateddiminished levels of FOXP3+ Treg cell responses with the pathogenesisand progression of MS and other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoidarthritis (RA), psoriasis and Crohn's disease. In addition to MS, theCompany has open Investigational New Drug Applications (IND) with theFDA for clinical evaluation of TCR peptide-based immune-basedtherapies for RA and psoriasis.
IR103 is based on the Company's patented, whole-inactivated virustechnology, co-invented by Dr. Jonas Salk and indicated to be safe andimmunogenic in extensive clinical studies of REMUNE(R), the Company'sfirst generation HIV product candidate. IR103 is a more potentformulation that combines its whole-inactivated antigen with asynthetic Toll-like receptor (TLR-9) agonist to create enhancedHIV-specific immune responses. The Company is currently testing IR103in two Phase II clinical studies as a first-line treatment fordrug-naive HIV-infected individuals not yet eligible forantiretroviral therapy according to current medical guidelines.
NeuroVax(TM) and IR103 are in clinical development by The ImmuneResponse Corporation and are not approved by any regulatory agenciesin any country at this time. Please visit The Immune ResponseCorporation at www.imnr.com.
