TMB-365



Drug structure

TMB-365 targets the CD4 receptor on host T cells, acting as a post-attachment entry inhibitor to help block HIV from entering the cell.

Drug class/category

CD4-directed post-attachment inhibitor monoclonal antibody (second-generation ibalizumab)

Summary

TMB-365 (LM-52) is TaiMed Biologics' second-generation version of ibalizumab (Trogarzo), described by the company as having enhanced potency, broader viral coverage and extended half-life. Like ibalizumab it binds host CD4 and blocks HIV entry after attachment. It is developed only in combination with TMB-380 (VRC07-523LS, a CD4 binding site bNAb) as an antibody-only complete regimen for maintenance therapy in virologically suppressed adults, without a small-molecule backbone. The company highlights that participants were not pre-screened for susceptibility to either antibody. The phase 2b (enrolment complete) compares IV every 8 weeks with continued oral ART over 48 weeks. TaiMed has signalled an intent to seek breakthrough therapy designation and a commercial partner.

Approval status

Not approved in any jurisdiction as of September 2026. Phase 2b (VISTA, NCT07215468) fully enrolled.

Regulatory authorities

US FDA IND held by TaiMed Biologics for the TMB-365/TMB-380 combination.

Scale-up and manufacturing prospects

Scale-up prospects

TaiMed operates its own cGMP biologics facility and CDMO business and manufactures ibalizumab, which is relevant to supply capacity. Two 4,800 mg IV doses per visit imply large protein quantities per patient-year, a significant cost-of-goods consideration for LMIC access.

Tentative equipment list for manufacturing

Not reported for this product. Standard therapeutic mAb train may be assumed: production bioreactors, disc-stack centrifugation and depth/membrane filtration for harvest clarification, Protein A and polishing chromatography, viral inactivation and filtration, ultrafiltration/diafiltration, sterile fill-finish.

Manufacturing

Recombinant antibody manufactured by TaiMed Biologics (Hsinchu County, Taiwan). Process details not published.

Specific analytical instrument required for characterization of formulation

Not reported for this product. Standard mAb characterisation applies: ion-exchange chromatography and capillary isoelectric focusing (charge variants), size-exclusion chromatography (aggregates), DSC (thermal stability), subvisible particle counting, ELISA for serum concentrations, TZM.bl neutralisation assays for susceptibility. Validated ELISA used for TMB-365 and TMB-380 PK.

More details

TMB-365 is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the CD4 receptor. TMB-380, aka VRC07-523LS is a monoclonal antibody that binds to HIV. Both interfere with HIV entry. This study is designed to test the combination of the antibodies as maintenance therapy in HIV infected suppressed individuals discontinuing oral cART for 48 weeks. Researchers will compare TMB-365/TMB-380 given IV every 8 weeks to continuation of daily oral cART to see if TMB-365/TMB-380 can also maintain viral suppression. Participants will: 1. Receive TMB-365/TMB-380 infusion or take oral cART as scheduled for 48 weeks 2. Visit the clinic as schedule for checkups and tests

Comments about the studied populations

Inclusion Criteria: 1. At least 18 years of age on the day of Screening. 2. Asymptomatic HIV-1 infection, documented by any licensed rapid HIV test or HIV enzyme or chemiluminescence immunoassay (E/CIA) test kit at any time prior to study entry and confirmed by Geenius™ or a second antibody test by a method other than the initial rapid HIV and/or E/CIA test, or by HIV-1 antigen, plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load at or prior to screening. 3. On continuous suppressive cART for at least 6 months prior to Screening with one documented HIV-1 RNA level \<50 copies/mL within 6 months of Screening. Continuous cART is defined as no interruptions greater than 3 consecutive days. cART is defined as a DHHS recommended regimen. Study participants should be on a stable oral regimen for at least 3 months prio
