Generic name

TMB-365/TMB-380; TMB-365/380; LM-52 + VRC07-523LS

Brand names

Not applicable (investigational; no brand name assigned)

Compound type

Biotherapeutic

Drug class/category

Two monoclonal antibodies: CD4-directed post-attachment inhibitor (TMB-365) + CD4 binding site bNAb (TMB-380)

Summary

TMB-365/TMB-380 is TaiMed Biologics' antibody-only, investigational long-acting complete regimen for maintenance therapy in virologically suppressed adults with HIV-1, given as two IV infusions every 8 weeks without a small-molecule backbone. It combines two complementary mechanisms: TMB-365 (LM-52), a second-generation ibalizumab that binds host CD4 and blocks entry after attachment, and TMB-380 (VRC07-523LS), a bNAb against the CD4 binding site on the viral envelope. TaiMed's press release reported that 94% maintained HIV-1 RNA below 50 copies/mL through treatment in the open-label phase 1b/2a study.

Approval status

Not approved. Phase 2b (VISTA, NCT07215468), fully enrolled June 2026. US FDA IND (TaiMed); FDA Fast Track designation reported by TaiMed.

Dosage

Available dose and strength

Investigational: 2,400, 3,200 or 4,800 mg of each antibody IV. Infusions are given separately and sequentially.

Maximum dose

4,800 mg of each antibody IV per visit

Recommended dosing regimen

No approved regimen. TMB-365 4,800 mg IV + TMB-380 4,800 mg IV every 8 weeks, as a switch from suppressive oral ART.

Additional comments

No susceptibility screening in phase 2a. An every-12-week schedule was in the original IND scope.

Scale-up and manufacturing prospects

Scale-up prospects

Not reported. About 9.6 g of antibody per visit (4,800 mg of each), roughly 62 g per patient-year, is far above small-molecule long-acting regimens and is the central affordability question for LMIC use. TaiMed manufactures biologics in-house.

Tentative equipment list for manufacturing

Not reported for this product. Standard therapeutic mAb train 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

Two recombinant antibodies; TaiMed cGMP facility, Hsinchu County, Taiwan (TMB-365). TMB-380 supply source not disclosed.

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 ELISAs for each antibody.
