Cytheris SA Announces Interim Data from INSPIRE Study Showing Interleukin-7 (CYT107) Induces Dose-Dependent and Sustained Increase of CD4 T Cells in Chronic HIV-Infected Patients

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cytheris SA, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on research and development of new therapies for immune modulation, today announced presentation of data from an interim analysis of CLI-107-06 (INSPIRE), a Phase I/IIa study of HIV-infected patients with low CD4 T cell counts. The patients were treated with a three-injection cycle of the Company’s investigative immune-modulator, recombinant human Interleukin-7 (CYT107). The analysis shows that CYT107 induces a dose dependent and sustained increase of CD4 T cells with many patients achieving CD4 counts > 500 cells/mm3. The INSPIRE data were presented during an oral late breaker session at the 49th Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) held September 12-15, 2009, in San Francisco, CA (Abstract H-1230a).
