Pharmacology

Mechanism of Action

Broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb). VRC07-523LS is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody belonging to the VRC01 antibody class. It is an optimized version of the bNAb VRC07 and contains an LS mutation which prolongs its plasma half-life. VRC07-523LS is a second-generation bNAb that targets the CD4 binding site on HIV envelope gp120 and has broad and potent neutralizing activity against 96% of a large panel of viral strains.5–8

Second-generation HIV bNAbs are naturally occurring antibodies with potent neutralizing activity against a broad array of HIV strains. The utility of bNAbs is being researched for both HIV prevention and treatment/cure. By binding to sites on HIV envelope and through Fc receptor interactions, bNAbs can potentially 1) inhibit cell-free and cell-to-cell viral entry, 2) induce cellular phagocytosis and destruction by macrophages or antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) by natural killer (NK) cells, and 3) promote the maturation and activity of dendritic cells.8–11 Because it is difficult to induce in vivo generation of bNAbs using conventional vaccination techniques, bNAbs may need to be given by passive transfer, whereby a bNAb is directly administered to an individual.9,12

VRC07-523LS is being studied for HIV prevention and is also being developed as a possible component to HIV treatment or cure.2–4

Half-life (T½)

In a Phase 1 study (NCT03387150) of VRC07-523LS administered via different routes and doses in healthy adults without HIV, the estimated mean half-life of VRC07-523LS was 42 days.13,14

Resistance

The IAVI T003 study (NCT03721510) evaluated monthly infusions of triple bNAb therapy (PGT121, PGDM1400, and VRC07-523LS) in 12 participants with viral suppression. Two participants who had viral rebound early in the study were found to have pre-existing baseline virus that was resistant to PGT121 and PGDM1400. In one of the two participants, the rebound virus selected for new PGT121 and VRCC07-523LS mutations, which were not present at baseline. Five participants experienced late viral rebound with low plasma levels of PGT121 and PGDM1400 but high levels of VRC07-523LS. One of the five participants received only three doses of triple bNAb infusions, and late rebound occurred despite having virus that was susceptible to the three bNAbs. In a second participant, the virus at rebound was found to be susceptible to VRC07-523LS but fully resistant to PGT121 and PGDM1400. In a third participant, rebound occurred with virus that was sensitive to VRC07-523LS but had intermediate resistance to PGT121 and PGDM1400.15,16

Study Identifiers: IAVI T003; NCT03721510

Sponsor: International AIDS Vaccine Initiative
Phase: 1/2a
Status: This study has been completed.
Study Purpose: The purpose of this open-label study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity of the bNAbs PGT121, VRC07-523LS, and PGDM1400 in adults with and without HIV.
Study Population:

  • Participants were adults with and without HIV.
  • Participants with HIV had been on ART for at least 24 months, had HIV RNA <50 copies/mL for at least 12 months and at screening, and had CD4 counts ≥400 cells/mm3.15

Selected Study Results: Results published in Nature Medicine (2024) and presented at CROI 2024 showed that triple bNAb therapy with PGT121, VRC07-523LS, and PGDM1400 was generally safe and well tolerated. Most participants (83%) who received bNAb therapy while undergoing an analytical treatment interruption (ATI) of ART maintained viral suppression for at least 28 weeks (duration of the dosing period). Although bNAb concentrations declined to low or undetectable levels during the follow-up period, 42% of the participants had viral suppression for at least 38 to 44 weeks.16,17


Study Identifier: NCT04357821

Sponsor: University of California, San Francisco
Phase: 1/2
Status: This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.
Study Purpose: The purpose of this open-label study is to evaluate whether a combination regimen can control viral load levels in participants undergoing an ATI. The combination regimen includes (1) therapeutic HIV vaccines (Gag conserved element [CE]-targeted DNA+IL-12 prime/MVA boost vaccination), (2) bNAbs VRC07-523LS and 10-1074, and (3) the TLR9 agonist lefitolimod.
Study Population:

  • Participants are adults with HIV who have been on a continuous ART regimen for at least 12 months and a stable ART regimen that does not include an NNRTI for at least 4 weeks.
  • Participants have had undetectable HIV RNA in the past 24 months and have CD4 counts ≥500 cells/mm3 at screening.18,19

Selected Study Results: Results presented at CROI 2023 indicated that most participants (seven out of 10) who received combination therapy had a least partial virologic control after ART interruption. The average time to viral rebound following ART interruption was 15 weeks.19


Study Identifier: NCT04983030

Sponsor: Boris Juelg, MD PhD
Phase: 1/2a
Status: This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.
Study Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of therapeutic HIV vaccines (Ad26.Mos4.HIV prime and MVA-BN-HIV boost) in combination with bNAbs (PGT121, PGDM1400, and VRC07-523LS) in adults on suppressive ART. Researchers will assess whether this combination strategy can control participants’ viral load levels during an ATI of ART.
Study Population:

  • Participants are adults with HIV who have been on a suppressive ART regimen for at least 48 weeks prior to screening.
  • Participants have HIV RNA <50 copies/mL at screening and at least one documented result of HIV RNA <50 copies/mL after the last ART change.
  • Participants have CD4 counts >450 cells/mm3 at screening and at least one documented result >300 cells/mm3 within the past 48 weeks prior to randomization.20

Study Identifier: NCT05275998

Sponsor: TaiMed Biologics Inc.
Phase: 1b/2a
Status: This study has been completed.
Study Purpose: The purpose of this open-label, dose-escalation trial was to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity of the bNAbs TMB-365 and TMB-380 (also known as VRC07-523LS) in individuals with viral suppression on ART.
Study Population:

  • Participants were adults with asymptomatic HIV who had been on continuous suppressive ART for 6 months prior to screening.
  • Participants had undetectable HIV RNA at screening and one documented result of undetectable HIV RNA within 3 months of screening.
  • Participants had CD4 counts >350 cells/mm3.21,22

Selected Study Results: Results presented at CROI 2025 showed that a single intravenous (IV) infusion of TMB-365 and TMB-380 administered every 8 weeks in participants undergoing an ATI of ART was effective in maintaining viral suppression in 16 out of 17 participants (94%) throughout the 24-week treatment period. The TMB-365 and TMB-380 bNAb combination was generally safe with no serious adverse events (SAEs) or Grade 3 or 4 adverse events (AEs) reported.22

Phase: 2
Status: This study has been completed.
Study Purpose: The purpose of this open-label study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity of long-acting cabotegravir (CAB LA) plus VRC07-523LS in adults with viral suppression.
Study Population:

  • Participants were adults with HIV who had been on a three-drug ART regimen (a boosted PI, an NNRTI, or an INSTI plus two NRTIs) for at least 8 weeks. Participants had no history of a switch due to virologic failure.
  • Participants had HIV RNA <50 copies/mL at screening and had HIV RNA <50 copies/mL within the 2 years prior to study entry.
  • Participants had CD4 counts ≥350 cells/mm3.
  • Participants had viral sensitivity to VRC07-523LS.23

Selected Study Results: Results published in Clinical Infectious Diseases (2025) and presented at CROI 2024 demonstrated that CAB LA plus VRC07-523LS was safe and capable of maintaining viral suppression in 93% of participants. Eleven participants (15%) had Grade 3 or higher AEs (primarily transient infusion reactions) that were at least possibly related to CAB LA or VRC07-523LS, and one participant discontinued treatment due to a Grade 1 infusion-related reaction. Five out of 71 participants experienced virologic failure (defined as viral load of 200 copies/mL or higher at or prior to Week 44 of Step 2).24,25


Study Identifiers: GS-US-382-5445; NCT05281510

Sponsor: Gilead Sciences
Phase: 2a
Status: This study has been completed.
Study Purpose: The purpose of this open-label trial was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the bNAbs VRC07-523LS and CAP256V2LS in combination with the TLR7 agonist vesatolimod in early ART-treated women with clade C HIV.

Adverse Events Adverse Events

Adverse Events

IAVI T003 (NCT03721510)

In this Phase 1/2a trial, three participants without HIV received a single infusion of PGT121 and VRC07-523LS and three other participants without HIV received a single infusion of PGT121, VRC07-523LS, and PGDM1400. Thereafter, 12 participants with HIV received up to six monthly infusions of PGT121, VRC07-523LS, and PGDM1400. All three bNAbs studied were reported to be generally safe and well tolerated. There were four serious adverse events (SAEs) and/or a Grade 3 or higher adverse event (AE), all of which were considered unrelated to the study bNAbs.15,16

NCT04357821

In this Phase 1/2 trial, 10 participants received a combination regimen consisting of therapeutic HIV vaccination (Gag conserved element [CE]-targeted DNA+IL-12 prime/MVA boost vaccination), bNAbs VRC07-523LS and 10-1074, and the TLR9 agonist lefitolimod. Two participants experienced ALT elevations (Grade 3 and 4) which were attributed to external causes rather than to trial interventions.18,19

NCT05275998

In the first part of this Phase 1b/2a dose-escalation trial, safety data from 30 participants who received single infusions of TMB-365 and TMB-380 (VRC07-523LS) indicated that both bNAbs were safe at all three dose levels studied. No SAEs, Grade 3 or 4 AEs, or acute infusion reactions were reported. Twenty-three participants experienced a total of 32 mild or moderate treatment emergent AEs. Five AEs were considered probably or definitely related to bNAb infusions. Two participants in the mid-dose group had a hypersensitivity reaction (delayed onset fatigue and chills) to bNAb infusions. Other bNAb-related AEs included peripheral coldness, fatigue, and sneezing.37

In the second part of this study, 21 participants received at least one infusion of TMB-365 and TMB-380. Two participants discontinued treatment due to a drug-related AE—one participant developed a Grade 2 generalized rash 32 days after the first infusion, and the other participant developed Grade 2 atypical rash 62 days after the first infusion. No SAEs, Grade 3 or 4 AEs, or acute infusion reactions were reported. AEs that were considered possibly or probably related to TMB-365 and TMB-380 occurred in eight participants and included rash, fatigue, headache, flushing, fever, chills, and aches. One participant developed low titer levels of anti-TMB-365 antibody and experienced Grade 1 AEs during the study.22

ACTG A5357 (NCT03739996)

In this Phase 2 trial, 75 participants initially received oral CAB plus two NRTIs for 4 weeks (Step 1). Thereafter, 71 participants who tolerated the oral CAB regimen and maintained viral suppression discontinued oral CAB and NRTIs and switched to intramuscular (IM) CAB LA plus intravenous (IV) VRC07-523LS for up to 48 weeks (Step 2). During Step 2, one participant discontinued treatment due to a Grade 1 infusion reaction that started and resolved on the day of their third VRC07-523LS infusion. Eleven participants (15%) experienced Grade 3 AEs that were considered at least possibly related to CAB LA or VRC07-523LS. Grade 3 AEs that were at least possibly related to VRC07-523LS included chills, feeling unwell, fatigue, generalized aching, vasospasm, hypotension, myalgia, and headache. Grade 3 AEs that were at least possibly related to CAB LA included muscle pain and decreased creatinine clearance. One participant had Grade 3 elevated ALT levels, which was possibly related to both CAB LA and VRC07-523LS. No Grade 4 AEs were reported.24,38

GS-US-382-5445 (NCT05281510)

In this Phase 2a trial, 20 participants received up to 10 oral doses of vesatolimod and IV infusions of the bNAbs VRC07-523LS and CAP256VLS. No treatment-related serious AEs were reported. One participant developed a treatment-emergent AE—Grade 1 cytokine release syndrome—that led to discontinuation of vesatolimod. Eighteen participants (90%) experienced infusion-related reactions, all of which were mild to moderate in severity and resolved within 2 days.27
