The prolonged positive effects observed in these Cohort 3 subjects have not been seen before with other treatments and has encouraged SGMO to enroll and treat an additional five subjects with this regimen. SGMO closed at $7.35 and is UP +$0.17 or +2.31% to $7.52 on 230.4 K share volume <3 month average = 1.2 M shares>. Can it return to the August ’15 $8.00 range? - HOLD


 

SGMO presented data demonstrating sustained functional control of viral load in the absence of antiretroviral drugs (:ART) in two of three HIV-infected subjects treated in Cohort 3 of its P1/2 study (SB-728-1101) of its ZFP Therapeutic (SB-728-T) for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. The subjects remain on extended treatment interruption, past the initial 16 week TI period.

 

In the absence of ART drugs in two HIV-infected subjects treated in Cohort 3 of its P1/2 study of SB-728-T 

SGMO presented the updated clinical data at this year's ICAAC meeting from the  SB-728-T trial.

 

The Bottom Line: The ability of subjects to suppress and sustain control of viral load, combined with durable increases in CD4 and CD8 cells provides support for the hypothesis of an immunologic mechanism of action for SB-728.
