StockGuru Profile IMNR

The Immune Response Corporation (OTCBB:IMNR), is an immuno-pharmaceutical company, co-founded by Dr. Jonas Salk, developer of the polio vaccine. Stock Guru has scheduled several interviews with IMNR’s scientists and officers.

The imminent launch of the 200-patient Phase IIb trial of NeuroVax(TM) will be a watershed event. This is a significant trial. Accelsiors, is a CRO with an outstanding track record with Multiple Sclerosis Phase II trials.

Clinical investigators were recruited at sites in twelve Eastern and Central European countries selected because they offer some of the only sophisticated locations remaining with sufficient numbers of diagnosed but untreated MS patients.

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) capabilities are required to conduct sound research. This will be balanced with placebo-controlled studies. The regulatory processes and product shipments to get these sites ready are now being readied in Budapest, Hungary.

Patient enrollment of the multi-center, randomized, double-blind trial is set to begin shortly thereafter. Successful completion of this trial has the potential to put IMNR’s technology center stage in the battle against MS and other autoimmune diseases. The 200-patient trial will test the clinical benefits of one year of treatment with NeuroVax(TM) versus a placebo.

The primary endpoint of the trial is cumulative new brain lesions as shown by MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), but the trial will also track patients’ relapse rates and neurological performance. All of these data will give us a thorough profile of the potential efficacy of NeuroVax(TM), enabling us to pursue a significant partnership to commercialize this product.

In addition to MS, IMNR has opened Investigational New Drug Applications (IND) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical evaluation of TCR peptide-based immune-based therapies for RA and psoriasis. IR103 is based on their patented whole-inactivated virus technology, co-invented by Dr. Jonas Salk and indicated to be safe and immunogenic in extensive clinical studies of REMUNE® , our first-generation HIV product candidate. IR103 is a more potent formulation that combines its whole-inactivated antigen with a synthetic Toll-like receptor (TLR-9) agonist to create enhanced HIV-specific immune responses. IMNR is currently testing IR103 in two Phase II clinical studies as a first-line treatment for drug-naïve HIV-infected individuals not yet eligible for antiretroviral therapy according to current medical guidelines. In early 2006 IMNR made a strategic decision to accelerate the development of IR103, rather than pursue a Phase III trial with REMUNE® . All of IMNR products are still in the development stage. IMNR has never had revenues from the sale of products. IMNR was founded in 1986.
