“As we continue to progress our therapeutic vaccine candidate, CLB-3000, toward first in human trials, we are excited to share our preclinical data with the Hepatitis B community,” said Aileen Rubio, PhD., CEO for the company. “Chronic infection with Hepatitis B (CHB) remains a significant disease, where functional cure has so far been elusive and combination therapies are likely needed. We believe that re-education of patients’ immune systems to break tolerance of their chronic HBV infections through co-administration of ClearB’s therapeutic vaccine could become an important component of such treatment regimens.”
