Foravirumab
Foravirumab is an experimental monoclonal antibody designed for the treatment of HIV infection. It was developed by Progenics Pharmaceuticals and is currently in the preclinical stage of development.
Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]
Foravirumab works by binding to the gp120 protein on the surface of the HIV virus. This prevents the virus from attaching to and entering human cells, thereby stopping the spread of the infection.
Development and Clinical Trials[edit | edit source]
Foravirumab is currently in the preclinical stage of development. This means that it has not yet been tested in humans. The safety and efficacy of foravirumab are currently being evaluated in laboratory and animal studies.
Potential Advantages[edit | edit source]
Foravirumab has the potential to offer several advantages over existing HIV treatments. It is a monoclonal antibody, which means it is highly specific for its target and is less likely to cause side effects. Additionally, foravirumab could potentially be used in combination with other HIV treatments to increase their effectiveness.
Potential Disadvantages[edit | edit source]
As foravirumab is still in the preclinical stage of development, its potential disadvantages are not yet known. However, like all drugs, it may have side effects and may not work for everyone.
