Budigalimab, an anti-PD-1 inhibitor, for people living with HIV-1: a randomized, placebo-controlled phase 1b study.

ABSTRACT: Chronic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) disease results in immune exhaustion and dampened T cell responses, and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) inhibitors offer a potential approach to enable viral control without antiretroviral therapy (ART) through reversal of these effects. Budigalimab is an investigational humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody. Multiple intravenous (IV) low doses of budigalimab (Stage 1: 2 mg n = 10, 10 mg n = 10, placebo n = 5, two doses every 4 weeks; Stage 2: 10 mg n = 11, placebo n = 5, four doses every 2 weeks (Q2W)) were assessed in people living with HIV (PLWH; n = 41) in a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled phase 1 study with an analytical treatment interruption (ATI) to identify an efficacious regimen with a favorable safety
