CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct 01, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Idera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced that data related to IMO-2125, its novel immune modulator for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, will be presented at the 61st Annual Meeting of the American Association of the Study of Liver Diseases in Boston, Massachusetts October 29 -- November 2, 2010. The full abstract can now be accessed through the AASLD website, http://www.aasld.org/ .
"IMO-2125, a TLR9 Agonist, Induces Immune Responses which Correlate with Reductions in Viral Load in Null Responder HCV Patients", M. Rodriguez-Torres, et al., will be presented in a session entitled HCV Therapy: From Discovery to Clinical Development on Sunday, October 31, 2010 at 3:30 p.m. ET.
About IMO-2125
IMO-2125, a Toll-like Receptor (TLR) 9 agonist, is a novel immune modulator being developed as a potential component of treatment for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. IMO-2125 is designed to stimulate an immune response in HCV patients, causing the body to generate natural interferons and other cytokines to suppress the virus. IMO-2125 is currently in a Phase 1 clinical trial in null-responder patients, defined as those who did not achieve a 2 log10 reduction with prior standard of care treatment, as monotherapy for 4 weeks. IMO-2125 is also being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial in treatment-naive patients in combination with ribavirin for 4 weeks.
