For decades, research into Alzheimer’s has made slow progress, but now a mother and daughter team think they have finally found a solution – a vaccine that could inoculate potential 繼續閱讀 →

By the time I was old enough to ask my grandmother questions about her life, it was too late. All I had were skeletons of stories I heard from my mom. I knew that it had been difficult for my grandmother when her parents, Irish immigrants on the vaudeville circuit, left her behind to help care for her younger brother when they traveled. But who cared for her? I heard about how, after her parents became successful radio stars, she was once set up on a date with Frank Sinatra, but when he arrived, with my grandmother waiting to make an entrance, he used language she didn’t like, so she sent word that she wouldn’t be going. But what had he said? I knew that she and my grandfather divorced not long after my mom was born, and that my grandmother subsequently spent time in the hospital. But for what illness? When I’d ask her, she’d respond about the weather. And maybe this was because she didn’t want to talk about it. Or maybe she didn’t remember. For years, her body was well but her mind was dying. It was like watching the electric grid of a city shut off one neighborhood at a time, until almost every street was dark. 繼續閱讀 →

Taipei, Taiwan, June 10th , 2019 — United BioPharma (UBP) announced the receipt of Investigational New Drug (IND) approval from the U.S. FDA to conduct a phase 2 clinical trial with UB-621 monoclonal antibody for recurrent genital infection caused by Herpes Simplex Virus, type II (HSV-2). UB-621 works to inhibit the infection through high-affinity binding to the same epitope on viral surface envelope gD protein on both type I (HSV-1) and type II (HSV-2) viruses.1 繼續閱讀 →

Taipei, Taiwan, May 13, 2019 — United BioPharma (UBP) announced today that they have received Investigational New Drug (IND) approval from China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to conduct a multi-nation, multi-center phase 3 clinical trial with UB-421 substitution monotherapy for HIV-infected adults who are on a stable treatment course of antiretroviral therapy (ART). The INDs of this trial had been approved earlier by Taiwan and Thailand regulatory agencies. 繼續閱讀 →

Administration of a single broadly neutralizing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–specific antibody to HIV-infected persons leads to the development of antibody-resistant virus in the absence of antiretroviral therapy (ART). It is possible that monotherapy with UB-421, an antibody that blocks the virus-binding site on human CD4+ T cells, could induce sustained virologic suppression without induction of resistance in HIV-infected persons after analytic treatment interruption. 繼續閱讀 →

HIV treatment has come a long way since the early days of the epidemic. Patients can now take various combinations of dozens of medications keep the virus under control and halt their disease from decimating their immune systems and leading to more serious, often fatal outcomes.

But harnessing HIV requires daily vigilance. Missing doses of the pills can give the virus the chance to develop resistance to the drugs and lead to a surge in new copies of HIV that flood the body.

In a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers at Taiwan-based United BioPharma report encouraging results with a single injection that seems to stymie HIV as well as daily pill regimens. The results add to a growing number of studies suggesting that patients may be able to take pill holidays without putting their health at risk. 繼續閱讀 →

Regular infusions of an antibody that blocks the HIV binding site on human immune cells may have suppressed levels of HIV for up to four months in people undergoing a short-term pause in their antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens, according to a report published online today in The New England Journal of Medicine. Results of the Phase 2, open-label study indicate the antibody, known as UB-421, was safe and did not induce the production of antibody-resistant HIV. The study was supported in part by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the National Institutes of Health, and United Biopharma, Inc. 繼續閱讀 →

UB-421 Q & A 繼續閱讀 →

For two decades, biotech companies trying to tackle Alzheimer’s disease have had little success. While vaccines have often shown promise for certain patients, they’ve come with devastating side effects for others—brain swelling, for example—because researchers haven’t been able to reliably keep patients’ immune systems from kicking into overdrive when exposed to the vaccines. Now, a four-year old Dublin startup believes it may be on to something. 繼續閱讀 →
